Incanus 5,715 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Perhaps Luke got tired of his celebrity "Emperor and Darth Vader killer" status and withdrew from public to live on a far away little planet as a hermit for the rest of his days. Han Solo and Leia broke up and ended up with severe drug addictions induced by the Ewok parties, booze and drug filled celebrity lifestyle in the aftermath of the battle of Endor. And thus 30 years into the future no one remembers these has been celebrities from the Rebellion days, if such thing ever really even existed. Or the Empire. That is like 30 years ago man and when you're 15 that is like eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Reminds me of the 1988 War of the Worlds TV series where most of the world had collctive amnesia about the initial Martian attack in 1953. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 917 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I wouldn't say the trailer revealed too much. It's not like it spoiled a major plot twist like other films this summer *coughTerminatorGenisyscough*.Also, Han's attitude change towards the Force.

Incanus 5,715 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I love lens flares! I wish Abrams made a movie about lens flares called "The Glaring Flare's Last Gleaming".And I don't like the voice of the new Darth Vader.Well he is not Vader but a Vader-wannabe and so he doesn't have James Earl Jones' badass voice. Must be something wrong with his helmet voice modulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's he trying to do, scare them? He sounds like my mother. They've known each other for a long time. They don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus. They're going after a find of incredible historical significance, he's talking about the boogie man. Besides, you know what a cautious lot of youngins they are.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I don't know why you guys think this new trailer didn't reveal anything about the plot. I think it did reveal quite a few things (that is, if you're paying attention to what's in there). I think it's easy to figure out roughly how the story will unfold in the first third/half of the film based on it. That's the thing. You can pretty much see how it's going to play out. And I don't think I really like it.So don't see it then. Put your money where your mouth is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are promising visual shots, and there are clearly a lot of things they seem to be doing right. But there's just something in the dialogue, and maybe the very premise itself that I find a little bit concerning. I remain cautiously optimistic.

A24 4,346 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 That's the beauty of early teasers. They remain wonderfully vague. You don't know what be movie will be like. Anything is possible. With this official trailer, things are starting to take shape and I don't know if I like it. I have a feeling that I will hate every scene that has Han Solo in it.

crocodile 8,019 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 I do like the fact it still remains vague in terms of plot (like the final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises was).

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm glad to see the recent resurgence in anamorphic format in shooting films these days. It's everywhere in TV commercials too!In the 90s, the Super 35 format had become popular and was generally the format of choice for many filmmakers in the 2000s. Then digital came along, and we began seeing 2.35:1 crops from 16:9 frames, which unfortunately still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
