star wars trailer

im all aboard the hype train for this one, loved the recent star trek movies. Abrams better fucking deliver after the cornholing lucas gave those movies

[StN]

Looks like Han's upgraded the TV aerial on the Falcon to get digital.

[CCS]

Trailer looks cooler than George Lucas' last 3 SW movies but...

Rolly droid? Really? Cruciform lightsabre? Can we just stop fucking about with the lightsabre what with the dildo shapes and the cruciforms etc? Fark.

Black... trooper? I see the storm trooper armour is new... so... the Tem clones are gone an now it's just regular dudes?

Cool things: X Wings, M Falcon. Dunno about those Falcon contrails though.

[ilk]

Yeah that light sabre was goofy as fuck.

[Ab]

Lightsaber sucked.

That better fucking not be Tatooine. So fucking sick of that sandy piece of shit.

They're not the same height, so probably regular dudes.

[CCS]

Not the same height? How can you tell?

[CCS]

Oh, you mean not the same height as each other, rather than not the same height as the classic Stormtroopers? Right.

I like to think that the black stormtrooper was some black hoodlum who stole some armour because that's what black people do.

[nostrom0]

[CCS]

They're all blacks in stolen stormtrooper armour. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

could be exhaust pipes from a poorly made saber. or cos a crossguard makes sense considering how often motherfuckers get their hands cut off. makes more sense than a fucking double sided one.

the clones stopped being used afaik cos they aged too fast so the troopers are just reg dudes.

well, it would if the crossguard was made of lightsabre, which it ain't.

This will be the token 'This isn't episode one!' moment by killing the robotic equivalent of Jar Jar, as I bet the next cut shows it being blown to bits or sliced up

[mr selfdestruct]

You would think if they were going to breed a hybrid dinosaur they'd have gone with a herbivore right? #fail

Star Wars trailer gave me a little bit of nerd chills so, I'll watch it.

No nerd chills were had during any of the prequels.

Are you being funny, bob?

[Cyberbob]

No

[pxpx]

Can we assume that you've now scrolled up?

[Cyberbob]

This sums it up nicely.

[Ab]

Gonna do some "curation" (that's hip for content management) and bring all the SW stuff here, because it's going to get realer from now on.

[Ab]

Oh yeah, that's what I was going to post in the first place, this babblemouth vlogger has proposed a "this is how EP1 should have been" and it's actually pretty coherent. Fixes a lot of the holes the Red Letter Media pointed out.

[Lightspeed]

That reminds me, I have The Phantom Edit to watch.

Uh, sorry if I'm messing with your curation.

[Lightspeed]

Wait, not that. It's some edit of the first trilogy down to the length of a single movie. Apparently it's really good.

[StN]

Has anyone posted a link to the Topps cards style reveal that JJ did?

No?

Here.



So now we know BB-8's name, and that the number on the cards is significant.

[Ajax]

One of my earliest Star Wars-related memories is purchasing a RotJ iceblock (with Jedi Jelly) and later vomiting it all over the back seat of dad's Kingswood.

[Gijoe^]

jeppers you kept the packet all that time!

maybe the "Jedi Jelly" wasnt for internal use

[Ab]

I remember plastering my bedroom drawers with Star Wars stickers out of bubblegum packets in, fuck, 1977. The stickers had the original Ralph McQuarrie concept art of stuff that may not have even ended up in the movie. So fucking awesome.

[CCS]

I had a tooth brush with Luke Skywalker on it. True story.

OMG that Jedi Jelly was foul stuff, I still asked for it being the huge starwars fan I was though

I know it was posted in the video thread, but seen as we have a dedicated thread I will stick it here.

I noticed that Luke says his father HAS it. So will we see a version of darth vadar?

[blynk]

Ok, after reading, I see that it was the quote from ROTJ. So may not mean anything
