Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Out now on DVD & Blu-ray
 

Looks amazing

Is this 1999?

Everything about the trailer is awesome

- Millenium Falcon
- X Wings
- Stormtroopers
- New sith
- New lightsaber
- New droid
- EVERYTHING

That new sith's lightsaber is so unbelievably dumb, a handguard is there to stop their weapon cutting your hands, what happens if you touch your handguard, which can happen.... rest in pepperonis own hand.

Lightsabers are generally a bad idea, one false move could mean it bounces off and cuts you in half :laugh: Which is probably why they're only used by force users

When is it out? Looks awesome! :cheer2:

Omg <3

JJ Abrahms definately seems more suited to Star Wars than Star Trek, hell the past two Star Trek films felt almost like Star Wars, lol.

You can tell it is directed by JJ Abrams just from the teaser. Some of the shots look just like the Star Trek films he did.

Holy ****, apparently the new Sith is

POSSIBLE BIG SPOILER (especially to fans of the games)

Is he still using a lot of lens flare?

I've been in a buzz all day since I first saw it lol. It looks promising that JJ has kept the CGi to a minimum, with the planet landscape and stuff

Yeah, the CG seems to be there to enhance the scenes, rather than create them, which is the best way to do it (Abrahms did the same with ST). In the prequels you had cgi creating scenes everywhere, even if it was just two characters talking, not only did it look crap, but it made it harder for actors to perform.

..jeez, that beginning bit made my tummy jump...when the Star Wars music kicks in though..:lovedup:...

Mmm doesn't get me that excited tbh because we don't really learn anything about the story from it

This gets me excited though

I'm really excited for this movie and the trailer looks great but I do not like that LightSaber at all.. It looks dumb and impractical and extremely gimmicky.

This teaser trailer made me give a sh*t about Star Wars again. Those beautiful x-wings. :omg:

Where did you find that sith picture with Revan's mask chewy?

It's from a Star Wars website, was leaked in October, was presumed fake, but the lightsaber is pretty damning

I think the lightsaber makes sense, we've got the normal saber, the staff saber, now the broadsaber.

Yeah they sort of covered this in one of the Old Republic games. You can only use a lightsaber after becoming a Jedi / Sith because without the force, you'll just decapitate yourself or something.

True! But I don't think any amount of 'force' or talent will make this weapon any less awful :hehe:

What happened to good old fashioned light sabers, the best fighters use them :smug: Anakin anyone?

Jurassic World >

:joker: :joker:

A lot of people say that the design is dumb, but they are thinking too much in terms of traditional sword combat.

If the cross-guard-hilt was used to defend attacks that way, the end-result would be the same as if it wasn't there (therefore no worse in that regard). The cross-guard-hilt would only be marginally riskier for a jedi, from an occupational safety point of view of cutting off their own hands.

The cross-guard-hilt on a lightsaber would make a lot more sense in terms of attacking. When the sabers clash, the wielder with the crossguard may be able to angle the blade down, then quickly rotate, giving their opponent a facefull of mini-lightsaber blade.

I hope Disney don't piss all over the two decades of canon Expanded Universe story.

The new lightsaber looks to be more of a claymore, to be used with two hands.

Plus Stephen Colbert has a pretty good explaination for the hilt

Quite a lot of the plot/character info has been leaked http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/s...pisode-4748644

I think it's an estoc, so I hope the sith has a fencing/duelist style of fighting :flutter:

Indeed there will be times when it comes in handy (hurr hurr) but what about when like you say, they clash lightsaber? If his opponent strikes him hard enough it could cause his hand to slide up the hilt and snikt "LOOK MA, NO HANDS!"

There's some sort of panel with JJ Abrams being shown at 6:00 PM. They are meant to be showing some new footage. Watch here.

I like.
