Quintus 5,399 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The Solo and Chewie ending was the crowd pleasing grin inducing moment and I was smiling like a cheshire cat. News flash: Star Wars didn't suddenly just become cheesy with this trailer, you smart arsed internet tossers. It's been cheesy since before most of you were born! Get over yourselves!

crocodile 8,012 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 For whatever reason, my favourite part of the trailer is that short moment when Ridley's character offers hand to Boyega's character (and no, I didn't mean that in a sexual way). Coupled with music, it felt more human already than anything in the prequels.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only reacted because of your continuous posting on the subject. It was funny in a "classic Cremers" sort of way. Had it been all in one post, I wouldn't have cared.My favorite moment is actually Luke putting his hand on R2. That has the sort of sentimentality to it that I like.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm not a Engineer, but I'm quite intrigued how they pulled it offMagnets. There's got to be some way to keep the ball rolling and the droid on top stable, and you either use magnets to hold the droid level on the ball, or the droid passes through grooves in the ball. And the latter is unlikely due to the unpredictable motion of the ball. I couldn't watch the video with sound. How loud was BB8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 To be absolutely fair to Jack. I don't think we have any reason to expect that this movie will be anything other than typical 21st century, safe, predictable Hollywood fare, and genuinely well-made at that. The visuals are nothing if not proof of that. There is nothing in this trailer we haven't seen in another blockbuster in the last decade.They're not taking any risks with this. From an artistic point of view, the Prequels are going to be the most daring (and unfortunately at the same time bad) Star Wars you'll see for a long time, because George had dictatorial artistic power over those, for better or for worse. So, shitty as the prequels were, they were unique. I'll give 'em that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The Prequels are the purest form of Star Wars as envisioned by its creator. A rare example of absolute big budget auteur cinema.But they are mostly shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 But how exactly are the prequels 'daring'? Pushing the boundaries of SFX. Is that daring? So many summer movies are doing that. It's more seen as a requirement, I would think. Every new big summer movie needs more and better FX than the previous one. Daring would be a Star Wars without dialogue or FX. Daring would be letting Nicolas Winding Refn directing a Star Wars movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Just watch movies in their original language, Luke!I have to, now.I knew that Qui gon having lukes voice was going to have consecuences....But cliegg lars had Han Solo's and he has the same voice (he is Harrison main dubber they were not going to change it)I hope there is no vader dialogue because our vader voice died two years ago But how exactly are the prequels 'daring'? Pushing the boundaries of SFX. Is that daring?Yes? Daring in the technical side....Other movies play it safe, very safe.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The Prequels? Unique? How?Look at The Phantom Menace. I can't think of a film within a decade of its release, forward or backwards that has the same aesthetics. From overall art direction, down to the choice of transitions, the style of dialogue, story pacing, to sound profile! If I were to lock someone unfamiliar with films in a theater and show them random clips from a hundred random movies and tell them to group the clips by which movie they think it belongs to, I think they'd do way better on TPM than say...the shots from this trailer.

KK 3,307 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Just saw the trailer.I gotta say, even after the first teaser, I wasn't quite sold on this yet. But that opening shot did it for me. Too bad the rest of the trailer didn't quite live up to it, but I am now on board! Looks like it'll be some good old fashioned fun, even if plot-wise there might not necessarily be anything new to really offer.And that JW music...God it was glorious to hear! Like Lee said, if anything, that's probably why this teaser succeeds so well.By the way, did anyone else think that voiceover was some of the most cringeworthy bullshit they've heard in a while? "The Force runs in the family...my Dad has it...my sister has it...my uncle has it...my brother-in-law twice-removed has it..." What's with the lame writing? The voiceover for the first teaser sucked too. Let's hope the film's dialogue isn't at that level!Other than that, I'm looking forward to this! Though I'm still in it mainly for JW...man, December cannot come soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I like it, but with reservations. The main one being that awful shot with the stormtroopers turning to the camera in some kind of Nuremberg rally. Flat, high key lighting and uncinematic framing. Looked like a shitty CG render from a SW fan film.The other is that snap zoom on the Millenium Falcon as it flies in into the giant engine thruster. Is this a Zack Snyder film?

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I never got how everyone has deluded themselves overtime that Star Wars dialog has ever been anything other than one huge cringe-fest. Cringe is what makes Star Wars Star Wars! Anyways, photos of some costumes and props from Reddit, lots of ugly Stormtrooper uniforms! http://imgur.com/a/YLeIZI like it, but with reservations. The main one being that awful shot with the stormtroopers turning to the camera in some kind of Nuremberg rally. Flat, high key lighting and uncinematic. Looked like a early CG render from a SW fan film.I wouldn't judge any CGI right now. The shot will most likely get redone by release, a couple of times.
