The Force Awakens Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Trailer #1 Discussion - Part 1

[NoLaNitE007]

I find it very amusing and ironic that you consider viewing a 90 second teaser trailer a waste of time, yet you seem perfectly happy to spend a much longer amount of time writing multiple posts to ensure everyone knows how unsatisfied you are with it.

Hey...what can I say? I learn from the you! Lol

Seriously, what about the multiple posts from the people who are satisfied with or even loved the teaser? There are two different threads on the teaser isn't there?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Hey...what can I say? I learn from the best...you! Lol

You are nothing like Whiskey Tango. Nothing.

 

[Solidus]

The twin suns are not in every shot of the original film either. More importantly if it isn't Tatooine, they really shouldn't have made it look exactly like Tatooine.

True but I think with the Falcon shot we would have seen it. But you never know. I think we will see some other interesting areas of this. Some of the rumors around that time that someone said it was not Tatooine said it was a war ravaged planet. Soon enough we shall see I'm sure.

On another topic does anyone think they will update the website with Character bios etc soon? I still wonder if a teaser poster will be released or is this all we are getting for a while?

The problem is your posts are very condescending. There are others that are not fully satisfied with the trailer either but they discuss it in a way that is not trying to look down on others.

I don't think we will get any kind of character bios before the first full trailer. I am thinking they want to hold on to the character names as long as possible. So we probably won't see bios before we start seeing the toys and interviews are necessary.

 

[WoodyROM]

They could always leave the second sun out of the vfx until the film is released

 

[Iceman]

haha no! He's in the teaser for a 3 secs, but he's cute, but cute done right. Vs something is suppose to be cute and ends up being Jar-Jarring.

Good description. Cute done right unlike Lucas' attempts to bring cuteness into the prequels which were sickening and embarrassing lol. Cute done wrong!

 

[Thundercrack85]

You know, thinking on it, it does seem odd that thirty years later, tie fighters, and x-wings are still around.

That may be the case.

Apparently the new droid is based on the original concept art and idea for Artoo.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, if it's not Tatooine make it look distinct in some way.

 

[Solidus]

Not really. We do know there are different designs. A lot of fighter Jets that are used are not very different from the ones we used in the 70's and 80's. There has been concept art talked about of new types of TIE Fighters and the X-Wings are different than the ones of old.

During war there has been small upgrades but they seem to like the general style of what they have, that and so many years of war may have hurt resources and budgets having to do with what they had.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

X-Wings and Tie Fighters are the pinnacle. You can upgrade, but why would you replace? Plus, I am sure we will see new ships as well, just like we did in the OT. Each film got new ships.

 

[Iceman]

Even though I thought the droid was fine I was questioning whether the scene needed to be there but it he's related to R2 he can definitely stay!

Yeah, I am thinking he is the "new" Artoo, belonging to Daisy's character and all.

The original artoo was a cylinder and head similar to the one we have but instead of legs it had a ball in the bottom and he moved like one of those gyro cycles that are damn near impossible to tip over. I thinks it's discussed briefly in the archival commentary on the ANH blu-ray. I've never seen any concept art but it sounded pretty close to the new one in the film. They couldn't get the technology to make it work when they were making ANH so it's nice to finally see the concept on screen.

I hope there are other character designs and stuff that is based on concepts they couldn't use in ANH. Those unused concepts are a bit like misfit toys just looking for a home.

Look up.

I apologize if you feel that way. It's just I disagreed with your assessment of this teaser trailer. I'm passionate about SW's.
I wanted to say this for the teaser:

Maybe I will for the one that comes out in the Summer. Here is hoping.

 

[Iceman]

Now it makes sense. Was the droid shown just before Daisy's scene? After the crappy meaningless 2 second scenes of irrelevant robot insects hitting each other on the nose that Lucas added I just had in my mind that it was a random droid just there to look cute. It's quite a good design for a female character's droid.

 

[Marvolo]

Look up.

Oh ya beat me to it. Well I'm glad you brought it up and posted about it I'd completely forgotten about the old Artoo concept. It makes me like this new droid even more knowing it's based on old concepts from earlier star wars productions. Makes it feel like it's got the DNA of the old films if that makes any sense.

Interesting. I'm glad we got the R2 we did and this design will be better for Daisy's droid I think rather than the utter global domination that R2 was designed for. R4 from the prequels was a pretty good looking thing too.

And agreed it's cool to see these misfits from decades gone by find homes so far in the future. The guys who did the original designs must be well chuffed.

 

[Octoberist]

Too bad R4 didn't have much of a personality.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

It's quite a good design for a female character's droid.

Why a girl's droid? I'd be happy to adventure across the galaxy with that cute little guy. Unless he's a massive dick head or something.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Just like the rest of the galaxy during the prequel age.
