Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2

Fanboise. Virgins etc.

Wow. And you go directly for the "virgin nerds" card. Classy. If you had just used the words "mother's basement" you could have had your name inscribed on the "nerd trope" wall of achievement.

My guess is you're both under 30 and don't have any sort of nostalgic or emotional ties to the original trilogy.

It's a good trailer no doubt. It reintroduces us to the world of Star Wars, fills in some blanks about our protagonists, cashes in on nostalgic imagery and sends us home with modern Han/Chewie.

Fanboi or not, it's a good teaser.

I don't care what anyone says, I enjoyed Episode I, especially the near the end with this scene:



Maul was a tactical genius here. He constantly attempted to separate the two jedi so he could focus on one at a time. He chooses to focus on Jinn first, as he is older and slower, and was likely hoping that killing the master would demoralize the apprentice. Even more so, throughout the entire fight, he was allowing Jinn to push him back, giving Jinn a false sense of confidence and not allowing him to realize how tired he was getting. Finally, when the force-fields go up and Maul has absolute assurance that Obi-Wan can not interfere as a result, he kicks it into full-speed and starts to easily outmatch Jinn. You can see how taken back Qui-Gon is when Maul starts becoming more aggressive. Maul had been toying with him the entire time to keep him from knowing how capable he actually was in a one-on-one duel. This whole fight played to the quintessential sith trait: deception. Awesome stuff when you break it down...

I never said it was a bad trailer.... Just saying I wouldn't consider it even close to being the best trailer ever...

Also, I used to be a huge fan of star wars, but got over it several years ago, with the prequels, and the horrible remakes of the older 1's..



Only way ill like this new star wars movie is if something like this happens

The prequels....eh. They're a mixed bag. They were terribly done overall, but they had elements I liked and they certainly allowed for the growth of the Star Wars universe, if nothing else.

I didn't hate hate hate hate hate them the way so many fans do, but they certainly could have been done better.

It's the most memorable fight of the prequels along with Yoda vs Doku.

I was really disappointed of the Obiwan vs Anakin, in comparison.

The theather I was in broke out into cheering at this scene when Yoda started busting a move.

"I lol'ed"

Can someone explain to me how it's racist to be confused about why there is a black stormtrooper when they're all suppose to be clones of Jango Fett?

They aren't all clones of Jango. Unless we're calling that a retcon on behalf of the prequels. The Empire still recruited and had rank-and-file soliders/officers/etc.

The thing that annoyed me most about that entire scene was that the environment didn't make any sense. In the original Star Wars films, every location had a clear purpose - the carbon freezing chamber in Ep.4 being one of the most obvious. Everything in the scene supports what the place is used for - and any battles that occurred, were choreographed through that environment.

But not in Ep.1. It's just a seemingly endless room with a bunch of catwalks over an abyss, with a myriad of flashy energy columns, leading to an empty dead-end circular room protected by multiple force-fields. It just seems that the location serves no purpose at all, and was designed purely as an eye-candy backdrop for an intense battle.

Was there a theater that didn't?

I don't know, I was only in one!

I wonder if any other actor will be able to command his own lightsaber color like Sam Jackson did.

Honestly, I think the only movie I've seen where the audience cheered was LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring, when Aragorn put an end to Lurtz.

I've been in several where they cheered at the end of the movie, sort of an ovation despite having no performer aside from a college kid running the camera, but...even Fellowship -- which I saw in the same theater -- had the ending ovation only.

Edit: Though for me personally, Fellowship (and T2T, and RotK) all had more internal "squee!" moments...but that's because I've been an LotR fan since before I could read and my dad read them to me. Seeing it come alive was just magical.

Furious 7 had the opposite effect at the end. I think everyone in my showing had a box of tissues just by default.

I've been in a lot of theaters where the audience cheered at some point in the movie.

Aragorn beheading Lurtz is one.
Hulk slamming Loki into the ground repeatedly was another.
...I'll think of more later.

That was an EPIC scene that resulted in insatiable laughter and endless storm of flying popcorn.

It was pretty *** epic.

I didn't go to the theater to see it though.

I suspect there are more movies that may have had that cheering during the movie -- Django Unchanged when King Schultz shoots Calvin Candie comes to mind -- but I've since stopped going to the theater for the most part.

My problem also in theaters is that I have a pretty dark sense of humour -- not to mention a bit of a habit of misinterpreting things sometimes -- and things that aren't actually "funny" in the classical sense of the word still make me chuckle, snicker, or even laugh out loud inappropriately.

For instance, in The Dark Knight, when Joker pops up in the truck window like a jack-in-the-box and shoots the cop, I laughed out loud. It wasn't funny. But just the jack-in-the-box action of shooting someone had this slapstick element that made me laugh...

...I don't think people appreciated me laughing at a cop getting shot, but *** them. I'm not apologizing just because they don't get the imagery is capable of being funny even if the situation isn't!

There's been quite a few movies where the audience cheered and the audience walked out silently out of respect. (Then again I live in ATX and go to the Alamo drafthouse, so its a quite bit different crowd)

-Recent-ish movies that I remember the audience cheering
-Zero Dark Thirty
-LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring
-Inglorious Basterds
-Star Wars - Clone Wars
-The Interview
-Avengers

-Movies where people walked out in silence
-American Sniper
-Lone Survivor
-The Dark Knight

This is absolutely hilarious.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one, that was classic!

I remember seeing episode III in theaters-- in the scene where Mace Windu is fighting Palpatine and the window shatters, somehow the theater made it feel like there was a vacuum of air rushing in the direction of the screen where the "glass" had been. The reaction of the people in the theater was neither laughter or cheers.

When watching Star Wars at a regular theater simply wont do.

That is actually really good lol. I'm so sad that I knew it was Loot Crate as soon as I saw the box =/

Most of the Jango clones would be dead as well since the accelerated growth didn't completely cut out when they matured. On top of rank and file they also cloned multiple templates but couldn't make any more Jango clones because cloning a clone doesn't work out too well.

Edit: though expanded universe again and odds are disney doesn't care.
