Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Discussion * SPOILER THREAD * — Page 141

No, it has the annoying kid Anakin.

That's just a maquette to the actual shot... Do you like the maquette better than the final shot?

Interesting if you rearrange these shots in order:

Probably Finn in the transport on the way down to Jakku.  This one specifically lines up with one rumored shot list posted on MSW back in March.

Something Rey related probably since the shot list above lists the two Rey shots from the first teaser as scenes 33.1 and 35 putting this in between; and also remember that scene 35's shot was reversed in the first teaser, hence the fake continuity error.

Something on the Star Destroyer involving Finn's escape or Captain Phasma?

Rey and Finn are on the Falcon probably with Han and Chewie by this point, maybe on the freighter that involves the pirate fight, which also seems to be possible involving the corridor shot here.

This shot really feels JJ Trek like, with the camera quickly moving down from the ceiling.

In Maz's Castle most likely.

Could be R2 at the Resistance Base on the icy planet.

Other observances:

Note how BB-8 is being puppeteered.

Also, HOLY KALAMARI is Admiral Ackbar's head detailed.  It's disturbing how real it looks to me.

to be honest, I'm not entirely sold on the creature design we've seen so far, they look a bit too 'Farscape -y'  its a big galaxy but a few familiar species wouldn't hurt

I think the creature effects was actually quite mind blowing personally

 There have been so many differing types of aliens in the SW Universe it seems almost anything would belong. I never watched Farscape anyway. I dunno what the absolute criteria is for aliens in SW anyway, if you were to judge each aliens seen in all the films thus far would they pass, why and why not? Who's to say?

They have shown many aliens that look very silly and fake.

 Any sign of Wolfman?

I don't think Ewoks look much better (except they have an important part in the film) and the Gamorrean guards have always struck me as being goofy and fake-looking. Granted, both of those were in the worst of the OT movies. This also looks kind of fake and goofy to me (and so does that worm thing in the cantina):

Probably will just be some background extra alien. There is room for MANY different looks of aliens in the SW Universe. Goofy, scary, cute,  horrifiying, ugly, etc, etc.

I do agree that it looks silly, though. I don't have much of a problem with it, however, because a lot of real-life animals look silly. As long as the thing isn't a main character.
