I was so damn excited by the Ep1 teaser and look how that turned out. With that said I'm optimistic until I leave the theater.

exactly.

teasers and trailers for ep1 had me all hot and bothered for nearly one year.

just goes to show: academy needs to recognize the Union Blokes that edit trailers....because they sure can make magic out of dogshit.

 

[Strk]

You think they had to add caveat in Abram's contract that he can do the film as long as there isn't any lens flare?

 

[Imp]

Needs more Gwendoline Christie. I know what her rumored role is.

 

[Blanky]

Looking forward to this. I'm cautiously optimistic this will be the sequel we always wanted that Lucas was unable or unwilling to give us.

 

[Imp]

Oh... Just noticed the TIE fighter pilot at the end has chrome armor. Was totally expecting it to crash.

 

[GTaudiophile]

New mechanical right hand + R2 = Luke?

 

[Maximilian]

Aw fuck off... im a little bit excited now :awe:

Ive basically been ignoring this since it was announced. I see a lot of things I like there... stormtroopers... star destroyer... Harisson Ford (no homo)... Please don't disappoint me movie!

He's gonna make up for not having lens flair through the bulk of the movie by having a shitload of flair every time lightsabers clash

There will be seizures, make no mistake

Its either a flashback or its not Luke. If its not luke then its Max Von Sydow

This.

I have been a Star Wars geek my whole life. I remember sitting and watching TV as a 6 year-old, seeing the commercial for Star Wars, and begging my dad to take me to see it. He did and I have been a huge fan ever since -- seeing all of the films multiple times (esp. Eps 4-6 in the 70s and 80s), having most of the Star Wars toys in the 70s and 80s, etc.

When Episode I rolled around, I was really excited and the hype was building. Yeah, I thought the whole "Darth Vader as a little kid" angle was dumb, but I remained patient until I saw the film. I took a lady friend with me and as the screen crawl began, I got REALLY excited. That was the height of the experience for me. She ended up actually falling asleep during the movie and I sat there absolutely horrified by what I saw.

When I got home that evening, I called my brother and told him I could not believe how absolutely terrible the movie was. Little did I know, the series would sink to new lows with Episode II.

So, this trailer looks cool, but I am reserving my judgment until I see the film. I thought JJ's Trek films were absolutely terrible and I suspect this will be the case with these as well, but I'll try to be optimistic.

did you have the volume on?

 

[Oyeve]

Han Solo and Chewie. I'm stoked. I hope they don't kill Han off as is rumored. It just wouldnt be a true SW film without him.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Two questions:
Where were Han & Chewie during the "Chewie we're home" was that the Falcon or somewhere else....theory's please

How the hell does that BB-8 droid move around onstage and how the hell is it assembled?

Are you being serious? It was clearly on the Falcon. Look at this photo -- they were in the hall in the trailer:

This. Absolutely!

I thought so, my nerd cred is not as strong as it once was.

+1

I'm basically emotionally completely immune to trailers since EP1.

IMHO this one will be more Star Wars dogshit, the latest one being screwed up in similar ways to the last two Star Trek movies. Enthusiastic about JJ Abrams I am not!

PS - I did really like the original trilogy (ie. EP4 - 6). I was really excited when I watched the first EP1 trailer, I probably watched it a hundred times.

Strong am I in the nerd force....

 

[TheVrolok]

Nerdrection. I has one. Ford is looking a little.. weathered.

 

[bigi]

So, who's the new Lando?

 

[Thump553]

The force is strong in that trailer-it popped the value of Disney stock up 2 BILLION dollars yesterday.

I really want to know how BB works. I would assume magnets, because the ball is one solid piece.

As much as CGI has improved over the last decade, practical effects and physical set almost always look better. Especially in the hands of a capable artist. I'm glad JJ Abrams recognized that. Lucas loves his CGI a little too much, which is part of why the prequels were such ugly films.
