Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Discussion * SPOILER THREAD * — Page 140

Also noticed that the video/panel also confirms and/or suggests a few elements from the rumors.

-crashed tie fighter (at least first time it's  official)

-Finn's Jakku clothing is actually Poe's from earlier in the film.

-it looks like Poe is on the Jakku at the same time Kylo and his troopers come to torch a town, and is clearly captured.  You can see his x-wing.  That's probbly Finn escorting him to escape.

-Rey is piloting the Falcon in the IMAX scene.

-that shot of the people running down a corridor might be from the rumored pirate attack on Han's freighter

-also seems like starkiller base might have something to do with the rumored new superweapons, or at least is the first order base on that ice-like planet.

For me, I think I'll just have to see the execution of the story, cause so far it sounds like something that could be good, but it could also be bad.

I'm merely pondering what sort of new dimension this community will have in a year. It's going to happen, we just don't know in what way. It's absolutely incredible that we're going to have new Star Wars in five months. But I also find it incredible that at some point later, VII is going to be a part of the Star Wars catalogue and history. It's real and it will be treated as such. For better or worse. For work of art or raw material.

Fair enough - it may well be a different story after December. It just seems a strange culture we're in where the discussion doesn't revolve around the brand new film coming our way, but rather what we can do to 'fix' it once it's in our hands.

New Star Wars should be special enough on its own, as that lovely comic-con reel demonstrates (for me, anyway).

Well - I haven't got a clue what TPM was about. AOTC and ROTC were really stupid, but at least I knew what's going on. TPM seemed just like a bunch of nonsensical boring scenes glued together. I have to get Frink's version

Well either way the film turns out, I'm sure TRA will be great when it comes out in 2025.

Have they shown us everyone in costume (aside from some non-humans) expect Hamill?  I'm starting to get the feeling Leia and Luke won't have much screen time in this one.  I'm hoping at least Luke will have more than a cameo. Seems like Solo and Chewie will get the most screen time out of the OT cast.

I look forward to seeing General Hux. After 38 years of Vader-like characters, Stormtrooper-like soldiers, and Fett-like characters, it's about time that we get a Tarkin-like character.

 They haven't shown us Hux, have they? Only an unofficial image?

^ Agreed. Well said.

I think that "Behind the scenes" Clip was really good.

It's re-enforcing my faith that it can be done, Star Wars can feel real again.

Proper trailer for this film... Cannot wait!

 I find it troubling that the film isn't even finished yet and folks are already contemplating their own personal revisions.

Can you not enjoy the primary experience of seeing brand new Star Wars without treating it like so much raw material to be reshaped to your whim?

 I agree.  A great many of us have been waiting for a proper Star Wars film for decades.  This film is still several months away and all we've seen are two short trailers and some behind the scenes footage. Yet there are a fair number of folks here trying to decide what they're going to "correct" first.  I'm surprised by that.  

 Nothing surprises me here.

I'll stick with the original, thanks.

 Since it was brought up, you can watch my version of both TPM and AOTC on vimeo.  Links in the first post of each thread (links to the threads in my signature).

 I clarified what I was trying to say. So you can be un-nonsurprised now. Has your team disbanded? 

I wasn't talking about your comments, but the idea of color correcting in general.  Hell, there's already a thread in the Fan Edits section where someone is talking about color correcting the TFA trailers.

I've taken the account back temporarily and am posting from a secret bunker, but I suspect the team will find me again soon.  They always do.

Pray for Mojo.

 True, thanks. Although my comment is currently left out of the quote chain, it did stem those other ones, so I feel a bit like I'm defending a position that isn't mine.

And yes, I just saw that thread. At least it's in the right place. Though I would have appreciated the hilarity of calling something a preservation of a film that doesn't yet exist.

Maybe Threepio was working with the First Order undercover or unwillingly for a while?  I say this after seeing the toy for the new TIE Fighter as it has a red painted left-side like C-3PO's red left arm.
