Really hope this is a fake/troll. What is that lightsaber crossguard nonsense? A black stormtrooper? Really?
yes a black stormtrooper. Jango Fett was black afaik in Star Wars Episode 2.
Well, new trilogy is most likely shitty but at least it can only be better than Lucas' last three SW movies :wink:
That lightsaber shows the symptom I guess.Will grab this chance to recommend Plinkett's illuminating new trilogy analysis, on where it all went wrong: http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/star-wars/
Has to be new, bigger, faster,... fuck where did we lose the story??!!
Explain to me what the fuck this shit isWhat's wrong with that? I am sorry, never been much into Star Wars... Whole franchise always looked silly to me anyway.

- Stormtroopers may be awesome, not just cannon fodder.
- Stormtroopers may be people, and have different personalities, not just cannon fodder.

And yeah, what's up with this crappy light saber ?It has a cross-guard. Is it... Is it bad?
What's wrong with that? I am sorry, never been much into Star Wars... Whole franchise always looked silly to me anyway.Like most Sci Fi and fantasy stuff it's mainly aimed at kids. Used to like it when I was younger but have generally outgrown these universes a long time ago.
It was fine until '83
Like most Sci Fi and fantasy stuff it's mainly aimed at kids. I've also outgrown it a long time ago.Yeah, maybe my mistake is that I didn't watch the films in my childhood time.
Star Wars was worth it for the Jedi Knight series. I don't care what other shit the franchise produced. Kyle Katarn <33333
Not the point, that guy is apparently one of main protagonists in the movie. SJW have won, I'm only waiting for the gay Jedi.

I don't get what the problem is with
a) Getting a little creative with lightsabers.
b) Giving Stormtroopers more depth.
c) Having a black main character (it's not like black people can exist in a made-up universe or anything)
Anyway John Boyega representing SOUTH EAST LONDON WAHAYYYY
You remind me of these girls in school asking at the age of 13: "What, you are still reading comics? That's for children, I'm too grown up for that." That really hurt me, 'should there be a time when I'm too old to like Asterix?' - Gladly I'm grown up now and know that it's not true.
The story in the original films is classic, what i like is that you could fit the basic premise to a Cowboy film, Samurai film, pirate film or even medieval setting with dragons and the basic premise of an orphaned farm-boy joining an ancient order then going to avenge his father and restore his family honour etc against the evil empire still works.
To be fair crossguards make complete sense when the other dude has a sword of light that can cut your hand off pretty easily if you mess up :D I mean its not like nearly every sword made has some kind of guard right.
never played star wars games except Kotor 1+2 so i hope they make a film about those. would be so cool :D
The problem is the blade guards are pointless because they don't extend fully to the hilt, they have emitters extending from the hilt below where the actual blade emits. So they are blade guards that don't guard the hilt and are therefore worthless.

After the failed uprising on Kamino in 12 BBY, Emperor Palpatine came to the conclusion that an army of clone soldiers was far too susceptible to corruption. Thus, he expanded the Stormtrooper Corps to include clones that were created from a variety of genetic templates, effectively marginalizing Jango Fett's progeny into a minority status. In addition to the massive influx of new clone sources, the Corps began recruiting real Human beings to serve in the ranks as enlisted stormtroopers.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stormtrooper

Can't we all admit the sith dude looks pretty badass wielding that lightsaber?

IS the cross guard in the movie asinine? Yes. Is the idea of not having anything to protect your motherfucking hand from a motherfucking sword of pure goddamn light and pain also asinine? Yes.A step in the right direction? What? No, it's not. It's ten times more asinine. It's a hundred times more dangerous than not having a crossguard. It does not make any sense whatsoever. Especially since if that material where the crossguard-lightsaber comes out of it can't protect against another lightsaber, the entire design is pointless. If it can? Then it's also pointless. You could've just made a crossguard out of that material.
At least it's a step in the right direction. Now it just needs to not look stupid.
The sound/look of a lightsaber always made me think two blades meeting had a sort of "stickiness" to it and that's why they didn't have guards.
is also a massive design flaw.

Most importantly, it looks dumb as fuck. It's about as cool as something very uncool.

I thought they always used to boldly claim that lightsabers were a difficult weapon to use and that an untrained person is more liekly to wound themself that do anything useful with it? (that was always their bullshit excuse why every soldier didnt carry one), but lightsabers so far have looked really user-friendly and Han used one with no trouble which makes you wonder why everyone doesnt use them.
Let's see.. I got a retro, back to the roots kinda vibe from this teaser.Let's talk about the actual teaser now? I feel the same as Thomek, I thought they kinda hit the old atmosphere. When I heard Disney was making it I was afraid the movie would be more comical than scifi. The teaser is not really giving that vibe, or is it just me?
how does it feel to waste your words ripping on the trailer and the designs, when in reality you are just taking the bait and giving more money to george lucas with every post?

Did you know George Lucas owns two billion dollars in Disney stock and is the single largest living shareholder?What a horrible personal loss to me.
Don't realize viral YouTube hits reposted on forums for more hits is the entire point of Internet marketing? Every click feeds Google Disney and George Lucas more money. Inflates expected box office receipts for shady jew accounting as well.

Seriously though, I too think that the crossguard is step in the right direction and the benefits it offers overweigh the risks.
However I have to admit the one in the film doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing.(click to show/hide)
Revenge of the Sith is legitimately great. The last half of that movie is silly melodramatic space opera done right.
Also the idea of this movie bombing is retarded. You are about to be immersed in a Star Wars circlejerk with annual releases and theatrical spin offs (Boba Fett standalone script already done I believe) and EA videogames by Battlefield's DICE.
Disney is going to run this shit into the ground. Probably get some good movies though but god damn Star Wars is going to be dumped on our faces real soon nonstop. This is just the beginning.
I'm in 2 different nerd minds about it, on the one hand it's a fun diversion and it'd be a shame to remove it all, but on the other hand most of it completely devalues the entire point of the original trilogy and i'd be glad to see it go/be overruled:
If the classic story is about Anakin's fall and redemption, the idea of the Emperor having clones of himself or surviving or whatever completely ruins it, making Return of the Jedi and Vader's sacrifice kinda pointless from a storytelling perspective. And noone wants something that makes the good films less good.
As long as the 7th film doesnt do anything that makes the original trilogy shit then i'm happy, even more so if it totally destroys all of the more cringeworthy expanded universe stuff (not all of it). Then again, if it does we can just do what we did with Indiana Jones 4 and pretend it never happened.

Well if they don't change the Extended universe, something around +25 years after the Battle of Yavin IV, there is a new extra-galactic race invading the Star Wars' galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong race.
It would have been interesting to have the 3 factions in this new trilogy.
The first episode, it's like "the good old times" With the new republic fighting the old Empire.
And then, step by step, they will have to ally if they want to beat the Extra-galactic alien invasion. (like in the books if i'm correct)(click to show/hide)
But sadly, i'm afraid that it wont be something original like this. And i think it will stay a very basic story. ("basic" for movies, because books goes deeper in the universe)
Also spoilers I guess, but really you were never going to read them anyway.
Honestly there are some parts of the Extended Universe (E.U.)
Didn't they say Extended Universe isn't and never be canonical and they don't give a shit about it?

No one posting in response to me understands a thing about Hollywood film production either. Thanks for embarrassing yourselves out of bizarre juvenile star wars fandom attachment that is no better, actually tangibly much more pathetic than, 13 year old girl Hunger Games fans.You seem very confused.
At least Hunger Games has probably inspired millions of people to read or write their own books. Star Wars has inspired billions to make shitty posts on the internet. And will eventually make trillions from it.

That really hurt me, 'should there be a time when I'm too old to like Asterix?' - Gladly I'm grown up now and know that it's not true.Ha ha, I remember those kind of girls - didn't mean it like that. Asterix is great, original, and doesn't take itself too serious - unlike the modern SW movies. I can still enjoy some fantasy/Sci Fi games for example, or a good Arthur C. Clarke or Frank Herbert novel or short story. It's more about growing tired of the lack of originality (genre conventions aside), and the tendency to oversimplified, black and white storytelling and characters prevalent in the genres than an age question, I guess - though of course these things can be connected. I've always preferred non-fiction, but admittedly more so with age. I could probably still enjoy some of the better Star Wars expanded universe litterature, like the Thrawn Trilogy or perhaps some of the Legacy books (but can wonder how much of that is nostalgia), and I know I can still enjoy fantasy like the Silmarillion. I'd rather have some steam punk or post apocalyptic universe though, a modern take on the genre like A Song of Ice and Fire, if it must be fantastical, but rather fiction 'classics' (there's a lot of excellent 19th century litterature) or post-modern, but I'd still be more inclined to read history or philosophy.

pretty sure the point was to get people shitposting about the trailer all across the internet a full year in advance for free marketing
I would like Smoothrich to provide some evidence for his claims, and then an estimation of just how many billions George Lucas has made because of this cRPG thread. I await with breath most bated.
Is this happening? Are we actually going to see Xant vs Smoothrich on a Star Wars thread? :O this thread has everything! Truly christmas has come early
That's pretty childish right thereHow, exactly, is it childish? He asks, even though he knows lombardsoup has never in his life made a logically coherent post.

But I guess actually asking for people to back up their conspiracy theories is childish. In the lombardsoup world.

That's why the game was hard... every time you slew the fell beast it was gameover.
Every time you left Padme to the mercy of ravenous robots it was gameover.
Every time Qui Gon cut down that evil menace threatening to slash..... (all his prices!) Anakin would say 'I wont help a murderer like you' and it's gameover.
