First & Second Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer released

[Nathan Drake]

I don't get the "too Abrams" thing. He isn't a bad director. He's certainly better than the likes of Michael Bay. He has done a great job in recent years presenting films that were well received and a treat to watch. Honestly, do you really want the brain behind Jar Jar Binks back on this project? The guy who thought aliens in Indiana Jones was a good idea? Are we all tripping over nostalgia from the original trilogy so much that we actually want the washed up director and "creative" mind that is George Lucas back on a project?

Has anybody said they want Mr Lucas back? This struck me as more of a "better, much better, but perhaps still not perfect" type thing.

He has passably made the same overrated and convoluted thing over and over again. It's pretty, but it's not enough for me anymore.

This was pretty funny:

Also whoever has not seen this one, is the George Lucas edition of the teaser:

It's not like this lightsaber is a new design, we've seen it before:

What? My father HAS it? So we're getting ghost Vader shenanigans or something?

Second was linked up on IRC... I will give them that for a 2 minute trailer/teaser they did not give much away.

I think it will still be a "meh, maybe on DVD if it comes out when I have nothing else to watch" film though.

 

[Foxi4]

Good trailer, I quite like where this is
going.

That's because a third of it was a black screen, and another third was the Lucasfilm logo and the after-trailer links.

So are Han and Chewy going to goto Corellia, or are they talking about their new home, where ever that may be. Or are they referring to Nar Shadda, though now Nar Shadda may not exist in the Disney Timeline, so what is Han referring to? Everything else pretty well ads up the script leaks I have read and does not leave me dissatisfied. I believe it is going to be better than Star Wars Rebels, and Star Wars Rebels, though far from perfect, is a heck of a lot better than everything prequel related that came before it, with the exception of Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars movie that ran in chunks on Cartoon network, and later released in full on DVD. That is who they should of put in charge of the TV series as well as much of Rebels.
Anyhow, yes this is exciting! The hype that surrounds it and all things Star Wars now, is not. Also, I fear E.A. has no soul and will create generic Star Wars titles.

Unlike JJ Abrams movies? I'm sure it'll pretty and all.

He ain't bad, I believe I've seen most of his stuff and thus far the only one I hated with a passion was Star Trek 2. 8mm was a blast, and I enjoyed the 1st Star Trek though I am not a Trek fan. Also, he didn't write the script for Episode VII, so no concerns there.

Or maybe they are talking about the Millennium Falcon.

Or maybe they are talking about the Millennium Falcon.

Good point, I forgot that they also technically "lived in a van, down by the river". Slobs, the both of them!

EDIT

Spoiler: Does anyone else think these new storm troopers look like... ducks?

Spoiler: Coincidence?
