Awesome. I’d love to hear that myself.
Yep, here it is.
Screenshot of spectogram in RX to visualize it:
thanks! that’s really cool. I wasn’t able to hear it in the trailer but this makes it pretty clear.

And why wouldn’t the Resistance be using updated A Wings? We live in a world where the Air Force is still flying B-52 bombers. A now sixty one year old design.And it’s only been 30 years since from ROTJ to the ST.
THIS. so much this.
I figured as much, but couldn’t find that specific scene when looking for the SE changes online.
I haven’t really seen the special editions myself, just know about most of the more infamous changes.
I see now this is one as well. dammit! what does george have against matte paintings! I guess he’s pretty much against everything in the OOT, ah well.
cheers and ty for the info! 😃
tweet from david prowse. is this from a rogue one Yavin set, or is it from the special editions?
there’s been an update on JJ saying that Rey’s parents weren’t in episode VII:
quote from Abrams:
“What I meant was that she doesn’t discover them in Episode VII. Not that they may not already be in her world,” Abrams said.
So the option is still on the table. I for one really hope she is Luke’s daughter.
so anyway, regarding the original topic,
“A New Hope” at least had the merit of coming first—it had the element of surprise—along with a comically flat direction that appeared to be a parody of the mediocre serials on which it was based. “Empire” and “Jedi” had nothing parodistic; their absurd earnestness and the bombastic banality of their direction (by Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand, respectively) are a perfect match for the oppressive, hectoring John Williams scores that accompanied them."
after reading this in OP’s link, I stopped reading the article. Saying Empire was banally directed and that John Williams’ scores are bad basically gives you the prefect picture of the character writing this article in the first place, a moron with no idea about film making or music, who has absolutely no business being a critic of either.
link to youtube trailer:
looked awesome, but I have my doubts on having yet another hardass-y self-sufficient i-dont-want-your-help type female character as the lead. Not that I have anything wrong with that, mind you. It’s just that they just did that exact same thing with Rey in VII.
I always just imagined him as a jedi knight myself.
Something I just noticed is that for some reason the new ‘cantina’ song, that was written by JJ and Lin-Manuel Miranda, isn’t included in the soundtrack. Of course nowhere near as iconic as John Williams’ masterpiece, but I thought the song was fun and fitting for the scene and I was looking forward to listening to it again.
googling has turned up no answers for me as to why it’s not included, any chance someone here might have an idea? Maybe they only wanted John Williams’ score to be in the soundtrack?

I guess everyone has seen this by now 😭
hahahahah

The Max von Sydow thing confuses me. All signs point to his character being killed in the raid pretty much right off the bat, but if that’s the case, why cast such a legendary actor for two scenes? Maybe the raid takes place a little later than we think and there’s some stuff between him and Rey before Poe shows up. That way his death could echo Owen’s and Beru’s.
Also, this makes me think that perhaps Poe is captured during the raid, and then escapes later? Or maybe several rebels resistance decide to rescue him, like Luke & Co rescued Leia in the original Star Wars?
Entertainment Weekly will have a star wars special on friday, 32 pages of interviews and new images.
The Japanese trailer has some really great shots we haven’t seen yet (and a bunch of new lines as well):

HYPE
^^creepy…
also, to the guy who said Leia and Han should have split up… NO. just no. that would be truly ridiculous and make no sense. What it seemed to me from the trailer is that they are still together (can’t believe I actually have to make a case for this lol) but have been away from each other for a long period of time, since both have important things to to for the Rebellion-turned-Resistance. So I would assume they can’t be together as often as they would like, but that doesn’t mean they would have ended their relationship. not by a long shot.

perfect
i suspect the same thing. the ends (or at least one of them) look a lot like parts of a lightsaber where the blade comes out to me
a few "leaked images" from the movie:

particularly liked this one (if real):
just came across this, dunno if it's already been shown here.

I agree, the imax poster is beautiful. If the film doesn't suck, I will get myself one for my wall

*pic snipped*
I like it, but I'm pretty sure that texture is either wood or hair. You know what? It's hair. The whole thing is hair.
the poster says 1 of 4 on the bottom! 1 of 4 what? posters? movies?
