Is this spam?
saw the trailer earlier. must say it looks pretty good. although everything does after episode 1 through 3 came out lol
That's it, that's all?
This is not the trailer your're looking for. Move along, move along.
Looks like it going to be good. Hopefully these ones kick ass and JJ does them proper.
I'm on the ULTIMATE mission to avoid any & all media/trailers/info/spoilers on Ep VII before I'm actually sitting in a theater, watching it. It's going to be tough, but I think I can do it.
I will try to avoid spoilers, but it wont happen.
I got goose bumps from hearing the scream of those Imperial Tie Fighters.
I'm happier now that Lucas is out. I hope the original 3 movies are released in a way that allow the viewer to see them in the original release (unaltered) version.
...and who are you calling "nerds", nerd?
I guess it's high time I actually watched the three original movies so I can finally participate.
Do yourself a favor and try to find them on vhs. No extra crap in them.
Meh, release is a year away. After seeing the crap last several were I will wait year and a half to watch free.
I feel Lord of the Rings is going the same route as the Star Wars films.Quote:

Second 3 movies are all prequels to the original trilogy, are mostly CGI, and a story full of characters nobody cares about.
In 20 years, there will be a new movie made about events that happen after The Return of the King.
I want to see a Silmarillion movie

Meh
Excited!! And the best part, we get a Star Wars film every year for about 5 years... Next year is Ep VII, then a standalone film, then VIII, then another standalone film, then IX, then another non-trilogy film. Disney is going to make serious cheddar off this franchise. Probably the best purchase they've made since Pixar (both times [Coffee])
Lots of folks say that, after Episodes I-III, the franchise can only improve. I'm not in that camp.
I'm a huge SW fan who's read just about every SW novel out there (more than 150) and am a member of the 501st Legion. I know my SW universe & I love it. I've had the pleasure of meeting and dining on multiple occasions with the like of Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels, Jeremy Bulloch and Peter Mayhew (not a fan of Anthony Daniels, but the others are great folks).
So Disney buys the franchise and decides that they don't want to be hamstrung by what is "canon" and what isn't - as has been defined in the carefully controlled "Extended Universe" (EU) since the 80's. They want to go their own route. For those who don't know, the EU was developed to ensure no paradox's were created in the storyline with all of the various novels, comics, cartoons and even movies. It was also created to ensure the stories maintained a certain level of Star Wars quality (yeah, yeah..."Ep I-III") It's what those of us fans who were really into SW relied on to ensure the story stayed true. Now, you've got Disney saying "to hell with all of that; we're changing it all". That doesn't sit well with me and many like me. The EU offered an unlimited amount of material to work with for movies and merchandising without alienating the dedicated fans. Did Lucas let us down during his rein with the likes of the Ewoks and JarJar/Gungans? Yes, but he was trying to keep the PG rating (Episode III was darker & got a PG-13). It didn't like the silliness, but I understood the reason for it.
Sorry folks, I wasn't impressed with the teaser/trailer and for the first time since 1977, I'm not excitedly looking forward to the movie. I believe that this movie will be Disney's 1 chance to win over the hearts of SW fans. If they blow it on this movie they'll lose the SW following.
Oh, and what's with the retro looking helmet on the X-wing pilot? He looks like he belongs in an earlier genre of SW, not post-Ep VI. Thanks J.J. Abrams, you're destroying what I've enjoyed since my childhood.
What's with all the bitching about a black storm trooper?
Some people take the fantasy world too seriously!
It is not about what you and I want. Like you, I'm a purist and prefer mostly serious SF to the cartooning that they do. It is about the money and to make the most, they need to bring in a "New Generation" of movie viewers that don't know the original story. They did the same thing with the newer Star Trek movies. There was so much material to keep the story line going and keep it interesting, even going back to the beginning.Quote:

I'm actually enjoying the Star Trek reboot.
I'm hoping that multiple long running film franchises can get back to clever writing and character development in place of what turned into nothing more than demonstrations of special effects.
Good writing and character development, what a concept. And keep the sex and nudity to a minimum too, it takes up the time that could be devoted to the plot and characters. All you need is a kiss and then a fade or pan to get the message across.Quote:

I really hope it lives up to the hype.
Here's the SNL parody version. Pretty funny!!

Episodes 1,2 and 3 were crap. Thesr wont be any diffrent
I loved the first 2 movies. Third movie (Return of the Jedi) was trite and predictable. Episodes 1 and 2 were so bad I've never bothered with Episode 3. I didn't entirely like J.J. Abrams' reboot of Star Trek (probably one of the few SF fans who didn't) -- good stories, great action, poorly thought out continuity (both inside the movies and outside to greater Star Trek lore) -- but his penchant for reinvention would probably help with the Star Wars franchise.
As far as any muttonhead saying no one cares about the characters of Bilbo, Balin, and Thorin ... well, he's probably a liberal and maybe even an Obama fan ... [ROFL1]
I thought every true Star Trek fan hated the Abrams reboot?
I'm a fan of both. But I'm weird, so you can discount my vote.Quote:

My hubby is far more knowledgeable about the Star Wars universe than I; we're both somewhat skeptical about Disney's inevitable betrayal of All Things Canon. The very fact that Lucas is out of the picture is a relief- the movies were getting to be unbearable with the stilted dialogue, wooden acting, ridiculous and unnecessary pseudo-science (the Force, being explained by the presence of midi-chlorians? Did he really think we wouldn't recognize the correlation between midi-chlorians and mitochondria? REALLY? t's almost as insulting as "Unobtainium." /rant over)
I'm hoping it will be good, but I do have to say that I'm concerned they'll give it shades of Pirates of the Caribbean (iiiiinnnnn SSSSSSPAAAAAACCCCEEE!)
I don't know, I know a bunch who liked it. Don't get me wrong, there are aspects of the reboot I liked. It had excellent humor and action and he tries to pay homage to the original series in a way Rick Berman didn't. The role reversal between Kirk and Spock for the death scene was cute but the explanation for HOW they did it was just stupid and there were TONS of logical inconsistencies. I suppose you can explain away Chekov's and Uhura's ages by saying Nero's first entry into the Star Trek universe 25 years earlier had accelerated their respective parents' meeting but Starfleet giving command of their brand new flagship to a brand new barely-graduated midshipman? In TOS, Kirk got command of the Enterprise at an unprecedentedly young age but he had already proven himself with service on board the Farragut and other ships. He was a known quantity to Starfleet Command.Quote:

I preferred the reveal trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront.
