Oh. My. God.
I see wookies don't go grey. I wonder what their secret is.
Hair dye.
ahhh but we have all been fooled by trailers before my young Padawans - forget we do about Phantom Menace,,,,,,,,,
seriously though, i had a little wee when i saw that downed Empire Star Destroyer!
Looking good.
I see wookies don't go grey. I wonder what their secret is.
Just For Wookie?
Hang on, that's the lightsaber Luke loses in Empire when his hand gets cut off
That's it, i'm out
If jar jar gets it in the first five minutes I might forgive them.
Hmmm Tie fighter or X-Wing, decisions, decisions......

I see wookies don't go grey. I wonder what their secret is.
Kashyyykian 2000
Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please don't be shit!!!!!
The Ewok Adventure set the bar too high.
It will be better than Jedi, I doubt it will be better than Empire.
Tie fighter or X-Wing
Falcon.
apart from crashed star destroyer, meh
At what age is it socially acceptable to introduce my boy to Star Wars? 😀
I thought Chewbacca was dead? Or does this film completely depart from the rest of the Star Wars universe? Or has it all gone a bit Bobby Ewing?
Meh.
hold on... hold on...
Luke say's "My father [b][i][u]HAS[/b][/i][/u] it."
Not dead?

My son is four and has seen them all apart from revenge of the sith. Although he did attack the other kids at nursery with a stick once whilst pretending to be luke.
Just showed him the new trailer. He shouted look, millenium falcon!!
Unsure why people are moaning about the star destroyer....you do realise these films are made up fantasy dont you? Search your feelings you know it to be true!
Slight spoiler.. there will be the 1st female stormtrooper in the film..
So the girl must be Han and Leia's daughter?
Dunno.. she's not allowed to say anything..
I can still remember seeing the original star wars posters on the wall when no-one knew what star wars was 🙁
Its the opening scene of when the star destroyer goes over and the cinema feels like its going to self destruct that always sticks in my mind...
Naah i'm no watching the trailers...Im gonna wait and bathe in it..
JJ Abrahams did good with Star Trek and I reckon he'll follow thru.
[i]I thought Chewbacca was dead?[/i]
eh, when?
it makes perfect sense for that to be luke's old lightsaber anyway; it was presumably in the star destroyer after his hand was cut off on bespin.
or maybe not. who knows.
anyway, this looks amazing and you naysayers are wrong.
i'll leave you with this, that a friend of mine wrote:
"If George Lucas is like the once loving father that made a mistake and betrayed your trust and leaves you abandoned and angry at the world then JJ Abrams is like that boyfriend yer mam gets years later that actually remembers your birthday and has some decent records and doesn't try to molest you. Top lad"
@harry+the_spider
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh its been deduced that its the Return of the jedi speech "roughened up" for an elder voice.....
funny thing about that melted vader helmet.....does that mean someone has gone back to The 4th Moon of Endor where Vader was burned....or did Luke take it with him for a keepsake (!!)
The more i see it the more i wonder if they are going to touch upon anything to do with setting up the new senate and its after effects of "destroying" the Empire - or if it will be brushed aside as "everything descended into chaos and thats when the dark side comes back"
for sure i see the following surprises in the film
Yoda as a Force Ghost
Obi Wan as a Force Ghost (your telling me Ewan McG wouldnt do a little piece in this movie him being a big fan of SW)
Han dies at the hands of an evil Jedi
The tie fighter scene with the falcon - its not what it first appears, too easy a storyline to have the Empire back as it was just without the emperor....
whatever - its going to be exciting and as stated above pllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllease not sh**
As a massive fanboy I'm not ashamed to admit that it got a little dusty round here when I first watched the new trailer.
And jeesus, the crashed x-wing / Star Destroyer in the desert - Just awesome.
My oldest boy is 4 and a huge fan of the SW rebels cartoon & original trilogy (on VHS might I add...) I think the first viewing will be on my own however. No way I'm having this ruined by questions from either him or my wife.
Although he did attack the other kids at nursery with a stick once whilst pretending to be luke.
Oh dear, I better give it a couple of years then.
The child minder still hasn't gotten over theCumbrian wrestling head locks I showed him... 😉
I think the first viewing will be on my own however.
A great idea!
Minivader was 4 when we watched the original films and he has seen the rest now apart from revenge of the sith. We both watched the trailer last night and both sat transfixed!! We may be slightly obsessed 😀 Both of us love the rebels series and I'm currently decorating his room with a very heavy starwars influence...
Chewbacca dying was in the EU, when Disney took over the reigns they have called all of the EU to that point 'legends' so it is not canon! I think that is a really good thing because it has freed them up to take this films in a different direction.
To be fair a load of the EU became whiny emu nonsense, with the emperor making lots of returns (clones etc)! The only part I am slightly sad about is that Mara Jade will not be around.
I think that the books that have come out recently, Tarkin, heir to the Jedi, and the rebels stuff is now canon and will be consistent with the films.
I have just realised how sad I am to know all of this stuff! I need to get a life 🙂
And yes my son LOVES Star Wars, although to him it is a cartoon (clone wars and rebels) so he finds it odd that there are real actors in Star Wars!
i thi both trailers have been fab, and think JJ is going to do an excellent job!
Monday Night Pub Ride get f*****, STW goes to the cinema. We could block book the Imax in That Manchester and fill it with Middle Class Whiny Cockbags desperate to see StarWars. I'd buy a ticket 😉
[i]I thought Chewbacca was dead?[/i]eh, when?
According to the books Chewie dies in 25 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin iirc) when extra-galactic invaders destroy Sempidal.
When is this sequel supposed to be set?
[Edit] Just seen phil40's post. Didn't know that.
My daughter is a bit meh about Star Wars (although I have made her watch all of them).
She's positively giddy with excitement about Age of Ultron though!
[i]I have just realised how sad I am to know all of this stuff! I need to get a life[/i]
It would appear you're not alone...
As phil said; when the Flat of Rat took over they basically said "all that guff you've been doing since 1983 is no longer canon," just the films and anything new from here on in. Bit like JJ did in the Star Trek film, think Alternate Universe / Timeline if you like.
for sure i see the following surprises in the film
Yoda as a Force Ghost
Obi Wan as a Force Ghost (your telling me Ewan McG wouldnt do a little piece in this movie him being a big fan of SW)
Han dies at the hands of an evil Jedi
The tie fighter scene with the falcon - its not what it first appears, too easy a storyline to have the Empire back as it was just without the emperor....
Out of that lot I'd say killing off Han is a cert. Ford's wanted then to kill him off since Empire, IIRC that's what the Carbonite business was all about.
At what age is it socially acceptable to introduce my boy to Star Wars?
Google "Machete Order" before you do. TL;DR, watch 4, 5, 2, 3, 6.
I reckon Hans will be in this one and the next, you know to ensure the fanboys and the MEH's turn up to the cinema, then and only then they will kill him off. By then the old school and now new school followers will have almost forgotten/gotten over the loss of Hans.
VAMO
😛
Is this some sort of Die Hard crossover I'm not aware of?
I am cautiously optimistic. Against my better judgement considering the let down the last time, but the trailer looks good, the sets and costumes look proper Star Wars. I was dreading seeing the aged Han Solo but I couldn't help but get excited when I did.
Only 8 months to go...
