[Section_31]

Really looking forward to this, just hearing Han's voice gave me a chubby.

Mon Calimari cruiser biting the dust at the end there, I don't know whether to shit or go blind.

 

Who is Max Von Sydow playing I wonder? Is it Thrawn? Awww hell yeah.

[Hand Shandy]

That's fake.

 

Genuine trailer below.

I love Star Wars.

 

I normally loathe sequels, but I have to say Empire Strikes Back has stood the test of time.

 

The third film was a 2-hr advert for cuddly toys.  Even as a kid I was appalled by it.  But it did have Jabba the Hut in it, which was a small mercy.

 

Then "that" happened.  That which can never be spoken about.

 

It would require a hitherto-lost and recently uncovered extended nude sequence of late-70s era Princess Leah and a free £50 note to get me to watch this.

[RJ Fan club]

I am sold diddly diddly old old old. Sold

[ZonkoVille77]

I'll watch it. And I'll likely watch it about 40 times like all the others. Great story even if the last 3 were a bit cack

When the Falcon comes on the screen and that music starts... Wow!!! Then the kick in the sack ,December 2015, bastards!

 

I can't wait.

[Pureblood]

Don't want to know anything about it at all until first viewing.

 

*leaves thread until release day*

[Mathewbet1]

[Tyler Durden]

Outed as fake on the Upcoming Films thread yesterday.

I can't wait.

 

That's the clincher. But it was the X-Wing scene which started the tingles for me.

[chris71]

I can remember like yesterday the excitement of going to see the first one with my cousins , must have been one of the last to see it, Christmas 1977 and then to see Santa. Going from seeing the most exciting thing ever as a 6 year old then getting a shitty balloon and tin badge of Santa. What a crash back down to earth that was.

[Scott_M]

It's the TIE Fighter sound that gets me, I love that sound. That sound to me is Star Wars.

 

Not sure about the cross lightsaber. 

 

So far, so good. I'm looking forward to it.

I was thinking that. Some cunt is bound to try and give it some kind of religious overtones.

In my best human fish voice "it's a trap". I believe this one was a fake.

[Hand Shandy]

Surely it's supposed to be like an old broadsword/longsword like knights of old used to use?

[Anubis]

Surely it's supposed to be like an old broadsword/longsword like knights of old used to use?

 

Yup.

[Hand Shandy]

Thought it looked pretty badass to be honest...

 

But then I thought Darth Maul's lightsaber was cool as well.

[Funkasy]

I was thinking that. Some cunt is bound to try and give it some kind of religious overtones.

Well it starts with "Awakening has happened" So the religious tone is all ready there. in a "force" kind of way.

Interesting...

Early thoughts: this looks like being the real deal, a return to the core values (practical effects! Practical droids!) and, more importantly, the feel of classic Star Wars. 

 

It's also more notable for what it doesn't show as much as it shows. So, contrary to initial rumours, we don't get a glimpse of the old stagers returning to the franchise. There's no Mark Hamill as a bearded Luke Skywalker, no Harrison Ford as Han Solo, no Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa, no Chewie, no Threepio, no Artoo. 

 

What we do get is a glimpse at the new blood that will drive the film - John Boyega, the hero of the film, intriguingly wearing an Imperial Stormtrooper's outfit. Some rumours had suggested that Boyega's character would be a guy with a troubled past trying to find the right path. This definitely tallies with that. 

 

Then we have Daisy Ridley as the film's heroine (believed to be called Kira), Oscar Isaac as an X-Wing pilot lining up in formation with a squadron of fellow pilots, and... the new Sith threat. The dark voiceover that begins the trailer - "there has been an awakening. Have you felt it?" - not only tees up the title, but seems to come from a villain who'll be making life difficult for our heroes.

 

That villain may well be the Sith Lord seen near the end of the teaser, sporting a souped-up red lightsaber that's more ragged and, literally, laser sword-like than previous models. Speculation already suggests the voice could belong to Benedict Cumberbatch, but as his involvement in the film hasn't been confirmed, we'd imagine it will come more from Adam Driver. 

 

And then, in lieu of faces of old friends, we get an astonishing shot that heralds the return of the coolest spaceship in movie history - the Millennium Falcon, swooping and gliding and loop-the-looping across the sand dunes of Tattooine as it seeks to avoid any Imperial entanglements. With the one-two punch of that, followed quickly by John Williams' Star Wars theme, the trailer ends on a triumphant note that had the entire Empire office bursting into applause. And we're a jaded, cynical bunch.

[Anubis]

That's definitely Cumberbach doing the voice over, very like one of the Into Darkness trailers.

[Section_31]

Fake cunts! Can a mod get rid of the trailer?

 

That legit one looks good though. The stormtrooper angle jives with a Timothy Zhan book about some Stormtroopers that try and atone for past crimes by helping people in trouble.

[Alan Sex]

There has been an awakening... In my pants.

[Tony Moanero]

I'll watch it. And I'll likely watch it about 40 times like all the others. Great story even if the last 3 were a bit cack

A bit?

 

1. The Empire Strikes Back

2. Star Wars

3. Return of the Jedi

4. The other 3 can fuck off
