Apparently the flickery lightsaber was Jony Ive's idea: http://arstechnica.com/the-multivers...ples-jony-ive/

The first 6 films hit VOD services this Friday in Digital HD. It's the special editions, no plans for theatricals

Posters arent bad but Im disappointed in the look of Kylo Ren. He looks like Daft Punk went over to the DArk Side. Or should that be Darth Punk?

Those look fan made.

Was just about to say the same thing. Looks like fanart. Good fanart but still fanart.

Still look more like Star Wars than the prequels, though I'm not quite sold on the Cylon-helmeted Stormtroopers.

New trailer!




That first shot! This trailer is the very first thing I have seen of this that actually is now beginning to suck me in. I may fall victim to the hype after all.

As the kids say...

Ermagurd!!

That looks immense!!

[Brad]

OK that looks good

Han dies. Chewie replaces him with a near-identical human and tells his kids it is the same human.

This looks to be pulling too much on rose tinted heart strings with the main theme and iconic ships. I didnt really see anything to get excited about. Ford is absolutely ancient looking now, it was bad enough having an old Indiana bundling along but I dont think I can stomach a borderline zimmer frame Solo. The storm troopers look dated too although Im interested to see who that shiney metal is. I was initially excited about the new baddie but as stated earlier his final look is unoriginal.

Unfortunately the prequels have done so much damage, one of my problems is that I don't think I'll ever get used to CGI in star wars no matter how subtle it is. I realise this is my issue and not really the fault of the makers.

If only this came out instead of the prequels I probably would've lapped it straight up.

To provide a counterpoint to Bash, after watching that...

SERIOUSLY I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED RIGHT NOW I CAN HARDLY BREATHE IT LOOKS ****ING AMAAAAYZAAAH

Despite the CG cartoon-fest the prequels were, it's still odd getting used to modern effects in these films. I wouldn't say I'm excited as yet, but at the same time I'm getting a little bit of a vibe that this will overall end up being one of the top three entries of the 7 already.

Wow what a killjoy. DIDN'T YOU SEE THE DEBRIS OF THE STAR DESTROYER?!?!

I'm loving this and have been so since the first trailer. Can't wait. I'm glad I who actually enjoy these on a child's level at this age. Seriously, Hollywood in the past 5+ years has been a dream come true for nerds with all the comic book films and now this. People still complain, but whatever floats your boat.

They'll always know the truth in their heart.
