Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pre-release) (Spoilers)

About time we see some alien pilots! I'm guessing at the time of ROTJ it was too complicated to do or something.

Actually, there were a Mon Cal A-Wing pilot:

...Sullustan A-Wing pilot:

...and Sullustan B-Wing pilot (Ten Numb in the EU):

For whatever reason, they -- along with the female pilots -- ended up on the cutting room floor.

Seeing a lot of Jimminy Cricket in Maz's face. Also is it confirmed that is Nien Nunb? Look like a younger Sullustan.

I've never seen the Mon Cal pilot! I wonder why that got cut?
 
to trim the running time to two hours and someteen minutes.
i'm with you on the graflex thing. imagine it going overhead like the three foot star destroyer after the crawl...LO ridiculous L.

So I guess the crowd of stormtroopers looking like Nazis in front of Hitler... Yeah... They almost do the "sieg heil"...

It's kind of a fist pump... And left handed...

But that can't be just a coincidence...

Not only is it not coincidence, but it has precedence in the OT. Uncle George stated at he wanted the Stormtroopers to evoke the feeling of their namesake.... Hitler's Stormtroopers.
 
As for Luke's lightsaber, I really hope it was found on Cloud City and then taken or something and it really wasn't floating through space...

I read somewhere, I forget where but it was part of something official and not from a rumor site, that the lightsaber was found/recovered from the trash (my words) in Cloud City.

No new trailers, but love the fact we get more tv spots.
Wonder what the setup for the mass Triumph of the Will scene was like?
Dream of all the props & costumes in that one scene. D*mn!
Although still say the troopers w/vest at 0:24 look like suicide bombers.

Everytime I see that scene in the trailer, I think it's actually running backwards... I think Luke is handing the hilt to her, not the other way around. Maybe it's just my eyes but it's the way the hilt is coming out of her hands seems like the clip is running backwards for some reason. I know Lucas loved doing that with SW films. Look at ANH when the tusken raider is standing over Luke with his his waving it in the air and pumping it up and down... it's actually the same small clip running forward and backward a few times with the sound effect added later.

That's Maz handing the saber to Leia, FYI.
 
This concept art of Luke's saber in the sand is likely for the sequence where it is discovered on Jakku by Naka.

That's just from Gallery 1988's "art Awakens" Show... which had a bunch of artists submit pieces (Two artists I'm fans of got pieces in the show).

I'm assuming that's supposed to be the moment Obi recovers it from Anakin or something... it's not in any way concept art... just poorly researched fan art.
