Star Wars episode 7: The Force Awakens

[Anne Spackman]

I just hope it's nothing to do with the same family in terms of the Dark Side. As a total OT & Prequel fanboy the one thing I hate is the compulsion Lucas had to make everyone and everything related.

I just hope the Sith is no one from the Skywalker or Solo clan.

The OT was anti elitist but all this keeping it within the same family is all about privilege!

Yes, I agree that it should be someone from another family who turns to the dark side this time, but if as you say Lucas has to make "everyone and everything" related, it will likely be either Luke or one of Leia's children most likely.

Well, Lucas is not involved, and Disney quite specifically choose not to look at his story treatnents for the sequels, so his tendencies should have no bearing.

 

[Anne Spackman]

Ah, then, who knows? We may be in for more than a few surprises.

 

[Phyrebrat]

When I say everyone and everything, I mean it in a wider sense, too.

For example, Jango Fett being the clone template and his 'son' being Boba, the design of the clone trooper helmet coming from his, stylistically. I'm okay with Jabba being in the prequels as they were on Tatooine anyway, but there's so much convenience (Chewbacca, Greedo, and all those other 'easter eggs' ). It's imbalanced because if the universe were that small or coincidental, we'd see more of the Neimodians, Banking Clan, and Geonosians in the OT.

Anyway, let's hope for some surprises

In TPM there is another of his species on the Jedi Council, called Yaddle. But she died in battle between TPM and AOTC.

Teaser trailer #2!

 

[Gnrevolution]

Let's just hope it it lives up to expectations, I'm starting to hate the way trailers are making out films to be much better than they actually are...

But this does bring back so many good memories!

I loved the crashed Star Destroyer in the sand that was cool. Chewie, we're home!

 

[Vince W]

I feel a presence. Something I've not felt since...

 

[Narkalui]

Since Return of The Jedi. It's called quality (touch wood!)

 

[Rodders]

I saw this last night. So good to see Han and Chewie together after so long.

The 2nd trailer just restored my faith In J J Abrams and the Star Wars franchise. It looks amazing !

I think that in this case, the film will more then live up to the trailer . It will be the biggest hit of the year, easily.

 

[Narkalui]

I said it about Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises and both times I was proved right: I believe in J J Abrams (and Christopher Nolan...)

 

[Alecc0]

I think it's safe to be excited now that The Force Awakens won't be terrible!
So excited for it!! Star Wars is back!!

 

[Narkalui]

Yeah, after more than thirty years!

 

[BAYLOR]

This is shaping up to be a really great movie season.

 

[dekket]

The new trailer looks good.

 

[Christopher Lee]

Super excited to see these new movies! I don't care how badly they butcher storylines, I miss my ti-fighters on the big screen.

Though I've enjoyed watching the two teaser trailers, I'm not sure whether I want to see any full trailers - I'd like the story to remain as much of a surprise as possible. But it would be so tempting to watch...
