Widge Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Is that Chewie using the force??? Doubt it, but you do get wookie Jedi. So not outwith the possibility he's force sensitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's just Chewi holding out his hand to someone in a kind of 'come with me if you want to live manner'. The Star Wars/Terminator crossover we've all prayed for is finally here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Also there's a very small chance Finn is a Jedi, in my opinion. Reckon it's a red herring setting up Rey to be the Jedi otherwise I think they would've tried to conceal it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11thHour Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Nothing worse than when a big film releases about 5 trailers and you can essentially piece together a large part of the movie. No idea why they think its a good idea, 2 trailers at best. One showing very little to get you excited for it then a proper standard trailer, that'd do me. But in saying that If you clicked me you're a greedy Gus Edited November 25, 2015 by 11thHour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I've avoided everything since the 2nd trailer - not clicking on your spoiler either - as I agree, you need to keep some mystery for the film itself. In fact I don't know why I'm in this thread come to think of it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I quite like following the spoilers, it's been good fun. I don't do that for any other film or franchise - the last Bond film I followed the spoilers for ahead of release was Tomorrow Never Dies - but it's a different kind of experience. The buzz lasts longer about it. So when I see the film on the 19th there will be few surprises for me but I'd prefer that than to seeing a film I wanted to love but ended up hating because my expectations weren't met. The prequels were a difficult set of films all in all and I know of folk that have refused to watch any of them because they have friends disappointed by them who said steer clear. John Boyega made a comment this week that he wasn't sure what fan reaction would be. I don't think that has anything to do with the film's quality, more the expectations of a vast and diverse fanbase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I don't think we know enough to be moaning about the trailers anyways. For the number that there's been, they're still not giving an awful lot away. Seems much ado about nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems much ado about nothing. agreed, the trailers so far have shown us # droids force users lightsabers x-wings millenium falcon (fucking dead cert to be in the film) han solo princess leia chewie awesome action scenes now given the fact that its a star wars film set after return of the jedi, and that we know the cast, the spoilers really havent gave anything away that we wouldnt have guessed anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) What will be interesting to see is how the people who read the Expanded Universe books about the adventures of Han, Luke and Leia (and their offspring) will react to TFA. Some of those books were good, others a shameful waste of trees. I feel it is good Disney are not tied to those events though, but that doesn't mean they can't take ideas from them. But it will mean a fair slice of the fanbase will have preconceived ideas about how Episode 7 should play out. I'll put the following in a spoiler tag as it's a comment about the EU and the rumoured state of the Galaxy Far Far Away in TFA... as such it's not recommended clicking for anyone staying spoiler-free. From what I have read, the SW universe in TFA is almost the exact opposite of what the EU suggested in terms of how the galaxy is and what the main characters are up to. That will make no sense to anyone who has not read those books! Edited November 27, 2015 by cmontheloknow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make no sense to anyone who has not read those books! some of the EU was utter tripe, others were quite good, the Thrawn trilogy was absolutely fantastic and one i was desperate to see made into film, the legacy of the force series were pretty good, not top notch but good nevertheless and i have a shifty feeling that some of that series will be used in TFA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc_smfc Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I rather enjoyed the expanded universe. The ideas are pretty good, even if the writing wasn't. Thrawn was a brilliant villain. Along with the whole idea of the maw, and it's superweapons. That and the fact the rebel alliance couldn't govern for shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Lost track of how many TV spots there have been but here's a new Chinese trailer - lots of new shots and dialogue (in both cases of scenes and scenarios already seen) so avoid if you're staying unspoiled. https://youtu.be/ECYgD7zylrE?t=17s Edited December 10, 2015 by cmontheloknow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Watched it to see what the fuss was about and regretted it a wee bit as it gives quite a bit away. Mao jackets were still very much in vogue when the first one came out and Yugoslav Partizan films was about as good as it got at the cinema for them so the target audience maybe needs to be shown a bit more of the action to get them to show up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Not sure there's much worry about people turning up, already records smashed for advanced sales! Four midnight showings sold out at the Cineworld on Renfrew Street in Glasgow. I'd imagine it's a similar story in most places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Not sure there's much worry about people turning up, already records smashed for advanced sales! I was referring only to China and Disney have several billion to recoup on the purchase of the whole franchise, so like George Lucas will be chasing after every last possible revenue stream on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Going to see it on Saturday at 1.30pm and making a day/night of it,got a good deal on a hotel in Glasgow City Centre so staying overnight to save the last dash run for the last train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
