STAR WARS : The Force Awakens Dec, 18, 2015

Avengers 2 won't make as much as Avengers 1.

 

I don't know if I agree with that. Marvel movies just continue to pick up steam.

I wonder if Han's "we're home" line means we'll finally get to see Corellia on screen.

Not sure if we'll see Corellia, but at that moment he's talking about them taking the Falcon back into their possession from whomever has it. Corellia isn't Chewie's home, so his use of "we're" wouldn't make sense there.

That silver looking storm trooper...oh yeah. Please let there be a 12" action figure!

That's Captain Phasma, and you bet there'll be one.

 

Has that been confirmed? I've heard the rumors but have yet to hear anything definitive.

 

I got a collection of Stormtroopers, Clone Troopers, Shadow Troopers...will be nice to add a Chrome Trooper.

 

One thing that grinds my gear...why is "Stormtroopers" one word and the rest are two words?!?!?! Don't know why but that always bothered me

Just a guess. We'll see. I'll certainly be taking the children, but the trailers have me suspecting it will be a just a tiny bit disappointing, akin to IM2 and 3.

Is there any video of the crowd watching that trailer at the panel at Celebration? There is a video of the panel itself but it cuts off and shows a HD version of the trailer.

 

 

This is the closest reaction video I could find....

The metal hand guy was Luke and the person getting the light saber was Leia....end of discussion

 

You are incorrect. Technically that would be the end of the discussion

Okay, I have to ask. With all the conclusive analysis already on a bunch of other sites that pretty much confirms that it's Luke & Leia, how can you say he's incorrect?

 

 

 

Are any of those other sites getting info from J.J. Abrams?

 

If not, they are guessing just like we are.

 

I've read that, given that this was Luke's lost lightsaber from the end of ESB (anakin's original saber lost at the end of Ep III), and its discovery leads the new characters to seek out Luke. That doesn't mean it's not Leia's hands, but it may mean (in that particular scene) it's one of these new characters.

 

Those are young looking hands....of course, they may have just CGI'd out Leia's liver spots.

Doesn't bother me at all. In fact, makes total sense. Because each of them looks better that way!!!

4. For those that don't know the main bad guy's name, it's Kylo Ren. He's the one that looks like Darth Revan, but obviously is not.

 

Everybody thinks this guy will be played by Adam Driver, right? And that he's the one holding the claymore lightsaber in the first teaser?

 

 

[Guardian Comics]

I can't wait.

 

The whole trailer was awesome, but hearing Han say "We're home" gave me goosebumps.

 

This is the part I'm struggling with most...I don't know if I forgive Harrison Ford for growing old, or any of us for that matter.

 

I wanna love it, but I just want Han to be Han.

[krighton]

I've forgiven Alec Guiness for dying, at least we still have Han.

I usually only collect Bobba Fett, but I will definitely have to get this one.

Not sure if anyone posted this but this made me cry. A priest watching the trailer for the first time. Just how i felt.

That was absolutely wonderful. It was like watching myself. The joy was palpable!

+1

That was awesome!!! Yep, I must have looked something like that too.

 

[ComicConnoisseur]

2015 will be rememberd as the year that brought us Avengers 2 and SW.

Now the question is, which one will be more successfull?

 

IMO Avengers 2 will win

 

It`s going to be close.

I think James Bond Spectre will be up there with them as well.

 

[ItsJustRyan]

Do we have a solid release date yet or when the trailer says "Christmas" is it going to be Christmas Day (I hope before)?

December 18th.
