One of the big stipulations on Hammil working with Disney on this movie, is that the CGI work would not be as overpowering as the last 3 movies. I think your going to see a lot of hand crafted special effects in this movie. I for one cant wait. And someones is talking about the cinematography already. . . .what?????

I really thought this was a fan made parody, specially on the execution of the black guy popping out and the strange lightsaber part. This trailer was odd

Its less about CG and more about shitty cinematography.


Your complaining about cinematography from an one and half minute teaser trailer.

lol smh.


Yes, to a trainer eye that is enough.


When you start watching and have to recheck whether is legit trialer or machinima parody, you know we have a problem.

Well...I am intrigued, for one I want to see their explanation for that lightsaber, I for one don't really like or see the reason to have such a lightsaber...oh well.

I also hope the series will find its sense of adventure again, the new trilogy tried to hard to be dramatic and serious.

I have to admit that the trailer at least managed to rekindle my love for the franchise and I searched for some books set in the SW universe to read, only watched the movies and played a lot of the SW related games. I think I am gonna start reading the Republic Commando series. There seems to be a lot of junk out there but that one has got a lot of praise.


Also, wtf is with the racist comments I've seen in regards to the black guy as a stormtroopers!?

All stormtroopers till EP4 were clones of a single white guy. and they all died.
Comments come from those who do not know that empire recruited a bunch of genuine normal people afterward

As for the lightsaber design, its based on the Crossguard Lightsaber or Forked Lightsaber from the Expanded Universe.

Oh, the typical Washington Post reader!
Read my reply on page 2, buddy. That's not a fucking crossguard.
What kind of crossguard cuts your own hand when you swing the saber??

My thoughts, exactly.
I mean, what's with the hurr durr Sith-wannabe popping his lightsaber in the middle of nowhere? He was going to murder the tree? These Sith are fucking mad.

Well I think the general consensus is that the trailer was dynamite and the movies is going to change the way we view film and story telling. Just from what I have gathered from some of the posts thus far.

Relax buddy, you're right. I get what you mean. The crossguard doesn't even look like that anyway.

I still think its way too early to assume how everything is going to play out in the final version of the film, including the awkward lightsaber design.

I feel compelled to point out that while a lot of people are using the term 'Crossguard' lightsaber, the image portrayed in the movie is certainly not what a traditional crossguard lightsaber would look like. A crossguard lightsaber has one saber jutting out from the hilt at a 45 degree angle. Such as this:



Whatever is shown in the trailer is either not in its entirety, or a new invention of the sw universe.

We all know that this movie is just going to prioritize liberal pandering other than doing the SW franchise justice.

Lolwut. What justice is there to do to the Star Wars franchise anyway? It is an entertaining, enjoyable series that's wildly overrated by fanboys. It's not like it's some masterpiece that's going to be dishonored.

After watching enough hentai, I can clearly see that that is sex toy, not a lightsaber.

The Knights of the Old Republic universe is complete BS, probably like a lot else in the EU. Overpowered force users and technology and governance that's way too similar to that of 4000 years later. It isn't even that good of a story. It has too many characters that are like the old ones and the plot twist is mostly unimpressive because the choices leading up to it generally lack meaning and moral ambiguity. Of course I'm not gonna be a jerk. It also lacked the charm, naivety and action of the original trilogy. They're kids movies, you know. Silly fantasy movies. The giant worm inside the atmosphere-filled asteroid, the two funny droids and the simple characters should have told everybody that. It's stories like Knights of the Old Republic which suck all the magic out of Star Wars.

You do know that the Republic is pretty much a monolithic entity has been around for 25 thousand years? It makes sense that not much would change, technologically and culturally speaking in a span of 4000 years.

They are. The old movies were all kid friendly. Harrison Ford or Hamill asked Lucas if they were still making a children's movie while filming Empire Strikes Back. Children's stories can be dark. Yoda, C3PO, the Ewoks and even the main characters to an extent are cartoon characters. These people who want Star Wars to be super serious and have deep, sophisticated characters are delusional.

I think you lack some degrees between "serious" and "kid movies". The two Ewoks TV films, those are kids movies. Calling the original trilogy kid movies is preposterous, and has nothing to do with the general tone of the movie (as for example the Ewoks movie have plenty of serious moments).

Well, I'm pretty stoked about this film and new entry into a trilogy that'll hopefully go beyond my expectations. This teaser did its job when it "teased" us about the movie. I've been hearing people complain how it didn't show enough when the movie is a YEAR away. Disney has plenty of time to show us more in this upcoming year with more footage when they think it's time. In the meantime, let's just enjoy this very nice trailer that really made me fall in love with the franchise again.

Also, the EU may not be canon anymore but that doesn't mean that neither Disney or J.J. Abrams can't take plot points, characters, or anything else from them and incorporate them into this new trilogy. They've stated multiple times that they'll be able to use anything and everything at their disposal.

X-Wing water fly-over looked pretty epic.

The voiceover guy though... no... get Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford or anybody recognizable from any previous movie...
