Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Discussion * SPOILER THREAD * — Page 102

And suddenly I'm much less enthusiastic... But it has a lot more to do with the terrible, cheap, photoshoppy nature of the art than it does the actual designs.

Of the designs, I'm, at worst, ok with them to, at best, like them pretty well. Except the white-accent, plastic, apple-product looking guns and flame throwers. I really hate that look. And it feels very out of place in Star Wars where the guns were always very realistic and believable looking since they were mostly real guns with extra details added. And even those extra details usually looked like real gun parts.

I do like the detail we can see in the close up of that one helmet in the first poster.

And Kylo Ren's Lightsaber is growing on me.

Did you not wait for it? The live stream switched to an HD stream of the trailer. It was pretty awesome!

I actually missed most of the live stream but tuned in just in time to see everyone on stage and then the new teaser.

Here it is, in case you missed it:

I still can't imagine Mayhew playing any of the Chewie-scenes.

Awesome trailer.  They're still keeping it pretty vague, but thats JJ for you. 

That last shot, so cool.  I don't know if that could have actually been Meyhew though, in the panel he looked to be in pretty bad shape.  Think he probably would only be able to do scenes where Chewie is sitting in the cockpit.

I love it.

Kylo looks intense, and I loved the mystery of not showing Luke's face. I really can't wait to see the film, and hopefully they throw out some additional material for Kylo towards the premier of the film

 They didn't show Leia's face, either.

The rumor sites were right about the downed star destroyer, at least.  Cool image.

But they showed Vaders face :|

No, they showed his mask burned up and desiccated which falls in line to the scene were Luke burns his armor in ROTJ. I wonder if Kylo gets a hold of it or what significance it will play.

Did someone happen to capture the new cast promo photos shown during the panel? Or are they already available somewhere?

Man that was fun.

Hey wait, Andre from The League is on the stream right now.  I guess he's a thing.
