boinger Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just got back. Teaser trailer #2. Oh, so cool! I'm 3 hours behind the live stream, but I can scroll the stream backwards to watch from the beginning. I'll be watching CVII all day until it finishes for today at 8 pm PST. I wonder what panels and interviews we'll see on the stream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Observations and questions Opening desert scene, original X-wing, o new JJ Abrams x-wing? Going by the timing of Luke’s monologue, my guess is that’s his hand on R2, and that is Leia taking possession of Luke’s ANH/ESB lightsaber? It’s a youngish looking hand though, so flashback scene? What’s the creature handing it off and what’s the background? The Sith lighting up is red sabre, definitely a storm trooper in the back ground of that fight scene. Black tie-fighters with white solar cells? New design star destroyer Crome trooper looks pretty bad-ass. Looks like his blaster has an AR collapsible buttstock with a Tapco cheekriser? 1-4x scope? Falcon chase scene, Falcon flying through the engine of a down Star Destroyer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by the complete circular intake for the upper engine. Looks like the falcon is flying through a crashed Super Star Destroyer!

Kelsain Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 That would fit the scale. So, does that mean Rebel Assault 2 is canon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yep, that theme always gets me teary eyed. Now, they need to make up for the prequels and actually USE that music.. prequel soundtracks really needed more callbacks to that sort of theme. Looks like it will be fun, though I still think the new x-wing wings look incredibly stupid from every angle except directly in front (so you cant tell how skinny and weak they look).

Roy Focker Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm surprised that there's wreckage of Star Destroyers. In the first 3 movies the Imperial stuff seemed to blow up in a millions pieces if you sneezed on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Interesting, it looks like this is just an upgraded ISD. That seems prudent. It also looks like the new TIEs can fire backwards. I kinda dig the new color scheme, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron5864 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 For some reason, the scene with the downed X-wing and Star Destroyer reminds me of the scene in Macross SDF with a wrecked VF-1 and Zentradi ship on the surface of the post-war Earth.

David Hingtgen Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looks like the falcon is flying through a crashed Super Star Destroyer! image.jpg Ooh, interesting. I first thought it was Venator-class based on the engines, but I've only watched it on my phone so far. (Venator-class wrecks would be like 100x more common, but the raw size required for a scene like that does point towards an SSD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangledThorns Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I recommend watching the trailer on a larger smart TV if you have one. The trailer was pure JJ Abrams. Could be a good thing... or bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I must admit I'm a bit of a cynical sceptic when it comes to sequels, but this trailer had me almost tearing up a little. It just might seem that Abrams nailed the atmosphere and old school feel Star Wars had. And the "Chewie, we're back" had me almost in tears.

David Hingtgen Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It just might seem that Abrams nailed the atmosphere and old school feel Star Wars had. I keep thinking---is it simply due to real sets and real models, as opposed to green-screen sets and CG ships? Or is it something much more than that, harder to identify and replicate?

Duke Togo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) It's Star Wars, it's fantasy. The starship designs aren't supposed to "make sense." You guys have seen these movies before, right? You'd also expect that the Jawas would take care of the grounded stuff instantly.
