Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[JohnC]

Google says yes!

[Davros sock drawer]

That's pretty fantastic.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

All it really does is make me want a cel-shaded TIE Fighter game, shit animetal soundtrack not included.

[ZOK]

That is an amazing video.

[jonamok]

Mind boggled.

Rumoured synopsis of the imminent (three weeks or thereabouts) next trailer courtesy of reddit.com:

It runs close to 3 minutes and puts a lot of things to rest:

It opens like more traditional Star Wars trailers have, a figure watching two suns set on a small hill, while a familiar score plays. This is Rey and it's made 100% clear that she's no one we know's daughter and she wants off Tatooine bad. Max Von Sydow has a conversation with her about the dangers of the galaxy and Rey gets upset and runs out to see a TIE fighter crash. on the horizon.

from director JJ Abrams text

We see Poe and Finn and Rey in a cantina trying to convince Han to fly them off of Tatooine. "I'm retired" "Chewie growl"

Comes the next chapter text

We see Gwendoline Christie's character telling Kylo Ren (looks like he's an unaffiliated mercenary) he'll get his payment when he tracks down Poe and Finn. A cloaked robot is also present.

Of the greatest adventure ever told... text

Explosion of John Williams and the London Symphony

Lots of scenes flash here.

Falcon avoiding TIES and new looking Star Destroyers

Finn and Poe speaking with pink looking Yoda like alien

X-Wing v TIE fighter dogfight with something massive in the back drop in outer space. One of the pilots is definitely Adam Driver.

Kylo Ren shooting down an X Wing from his ship.

Rey igniting a blue lightsaber.

A Chrome storm trooper igniting one back.

A cloaked robot taunting Finn

A Massive castle as a group of people cross a bridge towards it.

Han

Chewie

Leia

Theepio

Artoo.

Kylo Ren on a narrow walk way. He ignites his broadswoard lightsaber and says "FIGHT ME!" and the voice is 100% Andy Serkis. On the opposite end, a green lightsaber ignites.

No idea how legit this is but it sounds like a lot of fun at least.

How on earth would someone be in a position to list and summarise every shot of the trailer, but not be able to post any screengrabs or any footage?

[SeanR]

when you say "cloaked robot"..?

Search me. On the other hand, describing it in that amount of detail makes it sound more plausible to me. Either way, can't wait to see a bit more of what's coming!

[Steven]

The one thing that would make me doubt all that is the director credit at the start. Could be true but Star Wars has always been bigger than the individual players and has kept that stuff to the back end.

[Jug McKenzie]

Not related to the trailer rumour; I was thinking earlier how nice it would be to imagine that some of the inspiration behind the Kylo Ren broadsaber design might have included this:

Maybe?

[Sabreman]

Rumoured three weeks or so? Who on earth genuinely doesn't think there'll be a trailer attached to The Avengers?

[Vulgar Monkey]

New style star destroyers you say?

Cant wait.

Confirmed for Avengers for theatrical debut. But it will first be shown at the Star Wars Celebration convention which runs from April 16 - 19.

They're about to make the existing movies available digitally in a few days. Vudu, Xbox, PlayStation, Google Play, iTunes, Amazon and others around the world. Vudu in the US has the 6 movies for $90, the same as the Blu-ray set on Amazon right now. Google Play sells each movie for $20. I see my local iTunes is charging €17 each.

Are the OT still shit Special Edition versions?

[Glasgowchivas]

Are the OT still shit Special Edition versions?

Yes.

[Hanzo the Razor]

So like an idiot I shelled out for the "HD Digital Collection" on Xbox One. I own and know the Blurays off by heart but bought these for the convenience factor.

Big mistake. The UK versions appear to have had 4% PAL speedup applied. I noticed it the moment anyone started speaking.

Is there any need for that in this day and age? Especially with so called HD versions.

[Lorfarius]

So Han shoots faster?

[Hanzo the Razor]

And sounds like Joe Pasquale.

[Lorfarius]

I'd still watch that.

[Vulgar Monkey]

Han shoots repeatedly.

[jonamok]

Now he does the Kessel Run in 11 parsecs.*

* Yes, I know a parsec is a unit of distance, go tell George.

A long time ago, a parsec was used in as a measure of speed.

Happened in a galaxy far far away, mind.

[TehStu]

...a measurement of minimum distance, the racing line if you will

[Sabreman]

Hey, let's not retcon that into making sense.

[Steven]

Can't link - AICN has a pic of full stormtrooper from EPVII (no, he hasn't been to an all you can eat, etc).

Here you go, sir:

Looks like he's gearing up for the finale of a Busby Berkeley number.

EDIT: apologies, thought the original post was spoilered. Now fixed.

[Steven]

Cheers, GLB. I'd imagine we'll see a clip or a second teaser later today - my money would be on another 90 sec job focusing on the old crew.

[Glasgowchivas]

Livestreaming of the Celebration event begins at 6pm UK time. i imagine we'll get the trailer before midnight but not much before it.
