I have to agree with that, it didn't feel very star wars-y. It looked like a movie using its assets, but not actually star wars. Guess I'll wait for something more substantial but not really looking forward to this.

No, thats the xwing you see. The engines split with the wing.

Specifically, it's designed based on mcquarries original x-wing concept art.

I feel like people complaining this doesn't feel like Star Wars are somehow unaware that cinema has advanced since the late '70s/early '80s.

It looked like something they would have done in the asteroid chase in Empire if the technology and budget would have allowed it.

I thought the ClaymoreSaber was a "bit" chincy, but everything else owned, EXCEPT MY GODDAMNED VIEW OF LUKE/HAN/LEIA/CHEWIE/R2/THREEPIO.

Goddammit I wanted to see what they look like in the movie so bad!!!!

Williams Score was loving PERFECT!

Did anyone catch the sound effect of the Imperial Probe Droid right at the beginning before they cut way from Boyega?

Oh my goddddd, every shot from that trailer had me like :vince:

It really doesn't look like it's shot like any Star Wars movie has been before, but it sure looked gorgeous to me, so I think I'll be totally cool with that.

Like, it looks like Star Wars but handled by a much more skilled cinematographer.

There is no point to the lightsaber's features, it would actually probably cut the user's hand off. Retarded.

I guess you're right, I hadn't yet watched the video so hadn't seen the quad lasers yet. Oh well, maybe some day. :smith:

What gets me about the lightsaber is maybe not so much the tiny blades serving as a crossguard or whatever, but the fact that they don't appear simultaneously with the main blade. It's just comical the way it communicates this self-satisfied "HO HO HO BET YOU DIDN'T EXPECT THAT" feeling. It's loving silly to actually get upset about it, however.

It's shot by Dan Mindel, who did Abrams' two Star Trek movies along with some other stuff that looked pretty good.

It was also shot on film.

It's red, so that's obviously a Sith saber, and they seem to gently caress with the saber designs in general.

This teaser loving OWNED. Of course, Star Wars teaser trailers always own. Without exception. Regardless if the movie is the best thing ever or the worst... Star Wars never fails to hype me THE gently caress UP.

Jesus, I just realized why it looks so different, because nothing looks like a terrible CGI'd person-in-front-of-green screen shot.

Look at the mountains and clouds in the background of those X-Wings. It.....it looks like they actually filmed that beautiful landscape for real. :stare:

The lightsaber effect looks really ragged. I mean it looks finished, but it's not like some perfectly smooth gradient that we've seen before in the previous films.

It looks rad :allears:
