The Force Awakens.. Then hits the snooze button.

 

[phanan]

I like it.

Interesting that Episode VII will not be part of the official title.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I hope they talk about Midi-chlorians some more

 

[bono_212]

Ugh.

 

[Hewson]

Not a bad title. Can't wait to see the 70 year old performing feats of strength and daring acrobatics.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

pick out anything in the room and Han Solo will lift it over his head!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ugh.

What are you complaining about now?

 

[bono_212]

Your face.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh ok.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

My face is not the best, I'll give you that. I don't think it's TOO offensive, though. I've gotten a wide range of "Has anyone ever told you you look like _____?" over the years. From ones that made me happy like McCartney and Tom Cruise to ones that have pissed me off like McLovin, Casey Affleck, and Rory McIlroy.

 

[bono_212]

Aww, I don't think Casey's so bad.

 

[Hewson]

No Casey isn't too bad, but Rory and McLovin would be tough to take.

You look like Gordon Beckham to me.

"Chewicide"

 

[bono_212]

This trailer is the best, guys.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm up to 40% intrigued now. The X-Wings skimming the water was pretty cool. Dude's lightsaber was kind of cool but also kind of not... I dunno.

 

[bono_212]

I was being slightly sarcastic. I'm a little more intrigued, but the editing of the trailer left me ever so slightly concerned. But that lightsaber was dope.

I'm ready for this to just happen all ready and get it over with. Tired of speculating about whether I'll enjoy something. I'm almost certain to like it, but this pre-period is where it's easy to nitpick.

 

[bono_212]

That lightsaber, though. It looked awesome, but it also looked like a lightsaber I would've drawn as a kid.

"...and then it's got two little lightsabers on the side."
"What do those do?"
"Nothing, really, but aren't they AWESOME?"

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

yeah, that's what I'm talking about - they look like they would do more damage to the person holding it.

 

[Lancemc]

The idea would be it's a kind of hilt, no?

Anyway looks great.

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, I mean, totally get it's a badass hilt, but now that ELFA points it out, he would very likely cut himself on it

[bono_212]

You know what I'm really excited about? Max Von Sydow.

 

[Lancemc]

Are we debating the practicalities of the dangers in wielding a sword made of superheated light in any form?

It's one of my favorite hobbies.

 

[Lancemc]

Lololol nerds

Thats what led to Chewicide I think.

 

[lazarus]

Really don't care for the quick close-ups in the ship's hold with the stormtroopers or the steadicam shot in the trees. And I was already worried that Abrams wouldn't stick to the classical style of the previous films and try to amp it up visually for the millennials.

Otherwise, looks cool. Respect not showing any familiar faces.

This was what I meant when I said the editing of the trailer. I meant the editing of the scenes in the trailer. Almost exactly the same shots you were referring to, even.
