Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (Thread 2D2)

Is it me or the teaser actually comes off as a fanfilm?

What the hell is this? Apparently, youtube is full of terribly made teasers these days (Insurgent, *cough-cough*) but this thing wins the WTF contest by far.

I have no clue what the movie is about, who the movie is about, why I'm supposed to be excited (action? romance? adventure? drama?).

If I were to narrate it...man... like, "Hi! I'm the new star wars movie. See? I have all the star wars stuff. Death Star. R2 & C3PO. Chewbacca. Lightsaber. Spaceship. Tatooin. Jedi. I'm the new Star Wars movie." Made by Disney in the 90s, by the look of it.

Oh I knew it would be horrible, but this teaser pissed me off. Why did I even watch it?

Did you watch the right video? There's no Death Star, R2D2, C3PO, or Jedi in the teaser. Granted it doesn't tell you anything about the story, but it's a teaser, not a full trailer. It's purpose is to say 'hey! Look, we've filmed. This shit is real, get excited!'

This fucking trailer, I'm not even that impressed by it but somehow something deep inside of me, that I though was buried and forgotten has had an awakening.Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. God dammit!



Now I'm off to watch Clone Wars.

I'm thinking there might be a reason why they think the teaser trailer they watched looked like a fanfilm made up of clips from the previous films.

They didn't mention the practicalities of lightsaber design once so I'm not sure they watched the real trailer.

Oh you made me so hopeful for a brief minute...! Even though I didn't watch the right video for the first time, the right video is almos as bad :bawl: Minus the 90s part.

Howdy, the JJ one is still the Lucas video. This is the one you are looking for. :D

My 2nd favorite feature of the Lucas-ized version is the constant space traffic throughout. But one thing really stands out to me... Any asshole can paint Jaba in the desert or a gazillion TIE Fighters. It takes a real fan, a real fan who's been hurt, to understand what a Hayden Christenson Force Ghost means.

I also just watched the Lens Flare version. When the stormtrooper stood up in the desert, I practically laughed myself out of my chair. Great stuff.

Yes, that was my favorite part from the Lucas Edition. And from the Lens Flare Edition, it was the lightsaber also had it's own lens flare.

what's the joke in the lucas version with the ep IV hovercar thingy jetting across the xwing fjord?

You also see R2 lying on his side and 3PO on the hovercar too, like when they traveled on it in ep IV. Like "look see! R2D2 and C3PO are in this movie too, and riding in a hovercar the same way they did in the other movie!" So really just more shit from the OT to clutter it up and that shouldn't be in the newer movie in the first place.

Is there something I'm missing about the Wes Anderson one besides it being minimalist?



ETA:


NM, I watched it again, the first time I saw it, it wasn't a good link, it was like a second long I thought that was the joke. :dunce:



Saw the intended Wes Anderson trailer, that's brilliant!

I like the second one a little more because of that first shot.
