Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2

[Earl IV]

Didn't Disney buy the franchise?

Is Leah to be the new Disney Princess?

 

[Tom Sawyer]

That explains the musical numbers and why the storm troopers are doing more synchronized dancing than they did in the original trilogy.

As much as I love to ridicule Disney, I have to admit they did right by Marvel.

Marvel gives writers/directors a lot more leeway than most IP owners do, which in turn means Disney isn't holding the reins very tightly on Marvel, and the results have been quite good (more often than not). With any luck, they'll apply the lessons they learned with Marvel to the Star Wars franchise.

 

[Shadowy Man]

For all we know, it will be 2 hours of JJ masturbating with old Star Wars toys like he did with the 2009 Star Trek movie.

And that's saying a lot considering that JJ is on record as saying he didn't like the original Star Trek show. He thought it was too philosophical. That explains a lot about his remakes.

You have to have the right writers involved in the beginning though. Star Wars will look nice, be entertaining, but not anything great. It'll probably be formulaic and take few to no chances.

So that's why JJ ruined Star Trek. His second movie was just terrible and made me want to puke. Star Fleet officers with military hats? Change all of Klingon DNA? JJ just fucked it up from start to finish with Into Darkness. The 2009 movie was not terrible but into Darkness was just some sickly mutated anti-what Star Trek piece of junk.

 

[thebeave]

Is it just coincidence that JJ Abrahms and Jar Jar Binks have the same initials? Me thinks not.

Are you kidding?!?!?

Yes, yes it does explain a lot.

He doesn't "get it".

Everything that makes Abrams wrong for Star Trek makes him right for Star Wars. So what if the movie is shallow and action-oriented? That would be in keeping with the source material.

I think I agree. He was terribly wrong for Star Trek.

I hope he can actually pull off Star Wars without straying too far from the "feel" of the original three. Not 100% action. Pure action is a bore. I also want a story.

 

[Underseer]

The stuff apart from the action was quite frankly not that good, at least in my opinion.

 

[crazyfingers]

As an aside, The New Hope came out when I was a high school sophomore. It struck me as an amazing movie. Remember this was when Space 1999 and the original Battlestar Galactica was on TV.

At the time I was doing some baby sitting for a rich family with a pompous stupid ass kid who thought he was god's gift. He was a spoiled ass jerk and his parents knew it. So they paid me 24 dollars an hour, on the moon for babysitting at the time, and I got to watch Star Wars New Hope on that brand new contraction called a VCR. I remember at the time seeing that a VHS tape of Star Wars was $78.

 

[James Brown]

Welp, I was wrong. That is indeed Mark Hamill speaking in the trailer. But it's not a recording of his dialogue in RotJ. It's a current Mark H. reciting his lines from thirty years ago. That explains why it sounds off to me.

Who and what he's talking about, however, remains to be seen.

But I'm still puzzled. Of all the classic lines from the original movies, why are these in this trailer? The use of 'has' in 'My father has it' has only spurred speculation that Darth Vader will make an appearance in this movie. Unless there is another brother/sister pair that needs to be informed that they are strong in the Force, there's no point in rehashing this scene. And if there is (as was my first thought) then why is Hamill reciting the line and not the young hero?

And, as Tom and countless meme-creators on the internet have so obligingly reminded us, this dialogues revolves around the squickiest concept in the six movies--that Luke once had a hard-on for his sister. Is that the evoked imagery that JJ was going for?

I think Darth Vader will be in it, just like he is in the trailer, as a dead guy in a half melted mask.

I think it's referring to the fact that Leia and Han's kids are going to be the main characters of the next set of movies. This dialogue is tying it all together in that each trilogy is focused on one generation of the Skywalker family. The prequels were about Anakin, and that's referenced by showing the Vader mask. The originals were about Luke and Leia, and that's referenced by showing Luke there with R2. Then the "You have that power too" line, which was originally directed towards Leia, is now meant for the next generation and is referenced by an image of someone (obviously one of Leia's kids) being handed a light saber in a passing-the-baton type style.

That was my first thought, that everything is coming around full circle. JayJay says that's contrived.

That's how I interpreted it. And of course though dead, Jedi can still speak to people as ghosts.

Can they? Or was all that stuff with Obi Wan and Annakin after they died all in Luke's head? Perhaps it was the product of a deranged mind attempting to cope with how they both gave their lives to save his whiny ass.

Remember at the end of Revenge of the Sith, Yoda had training for Obi Wan in order to allow him to commune with Qui-Gon.

That would be cool. Then the end credit scene of Episode 9 is Uncle Owen yelling at Luke and telling him to get to work on the goddamed moisture condensers and that he's sick and tried after needing to spend the past 50 years constantly having to snap him out of his daydreaming.
