Better than the working title, "It doesn't matter, we know you're paying to see it because it's not Lucas.  No really, we could take a shit on the screen and you'd still give us cash."

Wouldn't fit on the posters.

Alternatively, it could have been The Force Ewok-ens, giving us the first Ewok Jedi.  Or ...

... The Force A-Walkens.

Saw the trailer with a Star Wars fan coworker.  We're both unimpressed.  For all the faults of the prequels, when you saw the trailers there was a sense of magic to them.  Queen what's-her-face had shots of the palace and swamps and you were intrigued to see these places.  Even the pod races on Tatooine looked new and interesting.  This all seems recycled at this point.  Maybe the next trailer will spark something that makes it look worth seeing.

Here it is.

Personally, liked it.  Some very compelling imagery.  The prequel trailers ended up showing the style over substance, hopefully, this is the opposite.

I guess that's my problem.  At this point there's no evidence of either.

I was underwhelmed as well.

Most of those shots could have been fan made stuff and they were badly out of context.

The Falcon was cool, and I liked the new lightsaber even though it made no sense.

I couldn't tell much from the trailer. But I do like that it wasn't all done in CGI, much better in my opinion.

I don't hate it.  It just didn't generate any desire to view the film in me.  I guess it was a trailer fail.

Exactly.

No hate here either. I just don't think it was great.

I forgive them though because we're still a year away. I expect we'll get better trailers through the year.

It makes me want to see it.  But then I loved what JJ did with Star Trek, so I think I sort of know what to expect.  It'll rely a little to heavily on cool action sequences, but it'll have enough character and story to make it still be worthwhile.  It will be something that the last three to come out failed miserably at: it'll be fun.

QUOTE
Wait, stormtroopers are people?

Yes.  They weren't clones in the original trilogy, you know.  After the clone wars they started recruiting regular people.  By the time of the original trilogy, there would have been very few actual clones left in the ranks of the stormtroopers, if any.  They'd be a bit old for it by then.

Besides, if they were still all clones, then being "a bit short for a stormtrooper" would have been way too much of a giveaway, don't you think?

As a kid I always thought the stormtroopers were robots/machines.  Probably because as a kid, I also thought it said OIL on the back of their costume, and you never saw the people underneath.

Fuck the haters, this is like Star Trek: Into Darkness with the same bad guy and same director right?

It's not going to suck. It will probably be awesome.


e: my wife and I came to this realization last night after letting the trailer  bake for a week in our subconscious

e: timeframe is PAST Thrawn right? So no chance Cumberpatch will be blue as fuck?

There is no Thrawn.
