Nappi Posted November 28, 2014 Not sure what to think of the whole project yet, but I can't wait to see the lighthammer and lightflail. Oh well, as long as they don't make a light projectile weapon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted November 28, 2014 If they just go full Tokien fantasy and have a race of space dwarves wielding lighthammers and lightaxes, STAR WARS WILL BE THE GREATEST FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That'll certainly get me interested. More things could use dwarves. ESPECIALLY Star Wars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoThatLimp Posted November 28, 2014 Man that X-Wing shot....loved it. The light saber and rolling robot was pretty dumb though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not being shitty, I just don't understand why that's considered badI thought it looked badass! Damn sight more badass than anything that happened in the firewatch trailer BOOM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveC Posted November 28, 2014 I also love Fifa bot!I'm sure I'm in the minority here but that Falcon shot was a big downer for me. I'll try to articulate why!It wasn't well composed and the motion felt weird, basically. It reeks of that overly artificial digital camera move thing that's become pretty prevalent in a lot of big CG sequences nowadays. I get what it's going for, it just felt really tasteless to me. And it is still early days and I'm sure it'll be perfectly okay in the final thing, but.. eugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted November 28, 2014 Wait. Why is the little bot rolling backwards while moving forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted November 28, 2014 That lightsaber is super dumb, but no worse that some of the over dumb versions that have existed such as The lightwhip The lighttonfa and my personal favorite dumb variant, the lightfoil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted November 28, 2014 Okay nevermind that's just the gif missing frames. The actual trailer it's rolling correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, to me the camera movement feels like it lacks the proper inertia, which then makes the movement of the Falcon feel weird as well. I don't think the shaking helps.

Things that put me off- broadsaber, whatever dumb landspeeder that was, droid noise in the desert Things that make me excited- X-Wings, FIFA Bot, the Millennium Falcon, THAT FUCKIN MUSIC I'm not concerned it'll be bad, but I still share Jake's concern that it's something I'll just consume and move on.

melmer Posted November 28, 2014 It's a billion times better then I hoped. (Not that I really hoped anything, speculated a little maybe) Especially after watching that Jurassic world trailer. Sorry to keep banging on, it made me feel emotions, I didn't think I had them anymore, I'm currently on the honey Jack daniels. So, I mentioned to my girlfriend it was Star Wars trailer day as I was dancing around the kitchen, emotions, and she told me she couldn't give a shit and wouldn't be watching it. But since then she's clearly been on the daily Mail side bar of shame and said to me earlier "you know who's weilding that lightsaber... rumour has it its Benedic cumberbatch" I'm like what? Why? Why keep his casting a secret? Who cares at this point. Sounds a bit like him talking in the trailer... But it could just as easily be Andy circus speaking (Jack daniels). I reckon the actual saber weilding dude in the trailer is adam driver. Also what's the problem with the magnum lolly land speeder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted November 28, 2014 INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS' COCKPIT just found out it's Oscar Isaac in the xwing does that mean bit part?? God, I'm now so damn interested how it's all going to fit together and I litterally haven't a fucking clue what this story is going to be.... What the story of the fucking trilogy is going to be. I pray to god they don't go down the usual marketing route and create a trailer detailing everything that happens in the first 2/3 of the movie in sequence and following it up with a shot from the finale. THEY DONT NEED TO. ITS FUCKING STAR WARS. please keep it mysterious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted November 28, 2014 That sith in the snowy forest moment in the trailer is blowing my mind. It's so new, so different, doesn't belong in this trailer, doesn't belong in the starwars movie universe as we know it. What is it? It's so sexy, vampiric. Adam driver is going to come away from these films as a weird sex symbol. Mark my words. I litterally couldn't give a shit about the millennium falcon though, never did to be honest This is how I watch the trailer: watch everything up to and including the awesome sith in the woods moment, instantly pause and repeat awesome sith in the woods moment three times, stop video and write shit on the idle thumbs forum.

Twig Posted November 28, 2014 The best part about this super rad lightsaber is that even if it didn't have that clear design flaw (which who cares because this is Star Wars and laser swords are inherently dumb and rad), people would still be complaining about it because Star Wars.
