Star Wars Episode VII anticipation thread

A string of shitty movies and TV series already killed Trek by the time Abrams came along. It’s not like he could have made things worse at that point.

Only one person should watch the movie. Everyone else should wait until they come back and tell us that the coast is clear of this kind of nonsense.

Just saw the Cover Girl Star Wars ad.
On one hand, great to go after a different demographic; on the other this reeks of over licensing.

A dying SW fan was able to see an “unedited version” of the movie: http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/05/entertainment/dying-star-wars-fan-force-awakens-update-feat/index.html

Very weird phrasing to say “unedited”. They must mean that it is not the final edit, the film is not finished, temporary score, etc. I bet it was 85% done in the copy they let him watch.

New trailer. Yes, a bit of a surprise how much new footage is in the Japanese trailer.

Quite a few spoilers in this one.

The Japanese trailer makes it actually look like an interesting movie.

yeah - but why is Galadriel involved?

It would appear that the movie is about BB-8.

I mean, why would a trailer targeted at the Japanese market focus on a cute robot?

It is a puzzlement. And not a bit of shokushu goukan!

Just the thing for today: http://www.computergear.com/1a692-star-wars-stormtrooper-casual-friday-tshirt.html

Who knows - the Sarlaac might show up.

I finally saw the trailer in the theater last night (before seeing the awful Spectre).

Wow!

Seeing it on YouTube does not at all compare to seeing it on the big screen (yes, I am Captain Obvious).

It was pretty awesome to experience the Star Wars sounds again in a theater.

I so can’t wait!

Storm Troopers with flamethrowers? :dubious:

Seems a bit low tech for Star Wars.

Tell that to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru!

That was caused by an accident with some scented candles.

Luke’s initial appearance could be an amazing theatrical moment. If he appears suddenly and heroically, the crowd will lose its mind.

New footage in the TV commercial.
