sudayev 27 Posted December 2, 2014 I don't like this new trailer. Forst of all detach SW from Force Awakens, simply - imagine SW Universe doesn't exist which makes Force Awakens as "yet another sci-gnere movie that noone will remeber by two or three years". Looks so generic... I don't know, maybe it's about style of directing things? We can only guess that the Empire survived the long battle and the Galaxy hasn't made any progress at all. Rebels still use X-Wings while the remnants of the Empire fly Tie Fighters Mk1. And that is all we learn from the trailer. Pen drive speeder, ball droid. Who is responsible for designing these? Who the heck is John Boyega? His mimic is really annoying. Yeah really when looking back Jar-Jar wasn't that bad after all, you know. And the "wild lightsaber" with laser hilt... What a stupid and unpractical concept, probably driven by "awesomeness". Why, why... Want some laugh? Watch George Lucas special edition trailer :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted December 2, 2014 I´m 100% sure that the old movies are only as good as they are because Lucas didn´t ave all the power alone. Even back then he had some absolutely ridiculous ideas but thankfully couldn´t convince anybody to put them in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted December 2, 2014 Honestly that CGI looks worse than the original Star Wars - bleh it feels more like a B movie if you ask me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krzychuzokecia 719 Posted December 2, 2014 I´m 100% sure that the old movies are only as good as they are because Lucas didn´t ave all the power alone. Even back then he had some absolutely ridiculous ideas but thankfully couldn´t convince anybody to put them in. If one would believe the rumors seen on fan sites, this time Lucas is not involved. And most of the flock say, that's the good thing. I don't like this new trailer. Forst of all detach SW from Force Awakens, simply - imagine SW Universe doesn't exist which makes Force Awakens as "yet another sci-gnere movie that noone will remeber by two or three years". Looks so generic... I don't know, maybe it's about style of directing things? Well, if You'd detach original Star Wars (New Hope), from the rest of the series and it's legacy, all You've left with is sci-fi version of Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress". Nothing original when You'd compare it with works of Phillip K. Dick. ;) We can only guess that the Empire survived the long battle That's what is puzzling me. I mean, yes, not all soldiers of Empire died in Endor battle, but how they haven't been tracked down by Rebels later? Or maybe Stormtroopers we're seing now are not imperial, but some of some other rogue power that rised after Ep. 6? Who the heck is John Boyega? His mimic is really annoying. Why he's annoying to You? He looks surprised and frightened at once, which would support theories You could find on fan pages - that he was shot down in the scene which appears later in trailer, when Millenium Falcon appears.

Maio 293 Posted December 3, 2014 That's what is puzzling me. I mean, yes, not all soldiers of Empire died in Endor battle, but how they haven't been tracked down by Rebels later? Or maybe Stormtroopers we're seing now are not imperial, but some of some other rogue power that rised after Ep. 6? My theory is that the Empire fell into temporary disarray after Endor, with different Moff's trying to grab power. Finally a worthy enough person/group took the power seat, reorganized the Empire, managed to turn public opinion (or part of it) on the Rebels and have been fighting them for the past 30 years (just look at those poor X-wings) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4068 Posted April 16, 2015 You know when I was a kid, for the longest time I always thought the stormtroopers were robots, lol, then i discovered they were just soldiers in suits of battlearmor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr burns 132 Posted April 17, 2015 Have a look at Dark Forces for an explanation. Imperial blasters got high ROF & silly accuracy, rebels blasters are the other way around. It´s the perfect balance, fit for P2W wars when there wasn´t even any P2W to begin with. Good starting point for SWBF3! .... at least better than my PC, OS, HD space, or anything else for that matter :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2136 Posted April 17, 2015 You know when I was a kid, for the longest time I always thought the stormtroopers were robots, lol, then i discovered they were just soldiers in suits of battlearmor. Moreso that there were actual bruthas under those suits as well. Man those guys had less juke than Mr Bean. Now I gotta go watch the originals and envision Carlton Banks in there screaming out in nerdy white guy voice "There they go! Blast em!!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I gotta go watch the originals and envision Carlton Banks in there screaming out in nerdy white guy voice "There they go! Blast em!!!" Well technically they could be, this was a while after the clone wars and the empire likely began conscripting people from various planets, afterall they don't all sound the same which means (aside from a terrible plot point) they aren't all the same person. And lets not forget the imperial officers though I suppose if anyone would be cannon fodder....oh look a mine field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
