New Trailer

[Jubal]

Here it is! It looks fairly good so far - there seems to be a lot of speculation on the lack of Luke in the trailers.

Ain't no portugaling JarJar armadillo for sure!!! Luke did the voice-over in the last trailer. I think they're keeping him behind scenes for now because he's supposed to be a legend. You do see him briefly put his hand on R2, looks like he's in hiding like Yo-yo-yoda.

Oh portugal, why did I have to start reading into it. *heavy breathing*

[Jubal]

Do not mention the J word! You might summon it! :O

It's out on my birthday. That's pretty cool. It also looks bitchin, but trailers can be misleading.

[Jubal]

It could still be really naff, sure. At least the trailer doesn't give away all the plot.

[Pentagathus]

Even if it's crap at least there will be lots of pretty lights and stuff.

[comrade_general]

Can I just say "HOLY portugalING armadillo!!!"? I haven't even watched it again yet because it's just too much to take in. I don't think a movie trailer has ever impacted me so much. I mean, they've definitely impacted me before, and movies and shows in general can get my emotions rampaging like you wouldn't believe, but this... *pulse increases*

[Jubal]

Holy Portugaling Armadillo indeed! It does look very very pretty

[comrade_general]

It could still be really naff, sure. At least the trailer doesn't give away all the plot.

I rewatched the trailers for eps 1 through 3 and they pretty much show the whole movie. They steadily get better (starting from total crap) but it's like George thought he had to show everything to get people interested. Whereas VII barely even hints at what the hell is going on and I'm just blown away like I have to see it NAOU!
No way it will be naff. Not even sure what naff is. A Britishism I take it. Is it similar to nerf? As in nerf herder? As in a scruffy looking one? Who's scruffy lookin'?!

[Jubal]

Naff is... a bit rubbish. Not so bad it's funny or epically catastrophic, just dully meh.

I agree that the lack of hints as to the plot is very good news.

[Clockwork]

I always thought naff was more like when you get retro wrong and it just looks uncool instead of hipsterarmadillo. It's definitely British though

Btw in case anyone cares, there's a set of comics for each character coming out that say what each of them has been doing since VI. Also I think there's a book series I think which sort of does the events from mid V to just before VII but I can't remember where I heard that. I hate it when they do this, movie tie ins are great but when to get the whole story you have to go to another medium entirely I'm not jazzed about that. Even so, I'll probably read the comics but skip the novels.

[comrade_general]

If I really want to know I'll just read the articles on Wookiepedia. Movie should explain it enough though.

[comrade_general]

So it seems George took legal action to get Star Wars back after he saw how everyone is going nuts about how good it looks. Then he made his usual changes...
