Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Again a couple of points for peoples consideration. There were a few “shaky” camera shots in the OT ,specifically when the Falcon was struck by asteroids or lazer fire from a TIE. The “very brief” glimpse of trooper shots here looks like they are coming in hard and rough through a heavy atmosphere to a combat arena. So to see them get “shaken up” as they are landing is pretty reasonable. I note once when they have touched down and the hatch drops its all dead steady again. Personally I think JJ is playing with your minds.
Secondly, we have no clue what powers the new (or rather old) sabre can have. The electricity crackling up and down it could give it unknown properties, like “over loading” other sabres . It could have a rare “force enhancing” crystal in it. The blade (s) being longer gives it a far greater reach than the standard ones, so fighting techniques WILL have to change. Historically long swords were made to primarily to combat plate armour and slash down foes with one blow. Interesting.
How do we know who Johns character is? Obviously dressed in a trooper uniform he could be anything (and he doesn’t even have to be a little short). He could have infiltrated the troopers on a mission. Have we as yet got any information on which side (if not both) storm troopers are fighting, as there appear to be multiple versions.
And again the complaints over the Falcon are a bit much. Firstly, you should be rejoicing that probably the most iconic ship in the galaxy (and arguably sci fi history!!) is back in the movie. Secondly, its not been touched in any shape or form, other than having a new radar dish and to be honest that does seem to look good on it (god help us if they had dared to alter anything else about it, oh the rage!!!!). Thirdly, please go watch the all OT scenes with the Falcon. If this had been shot against a black star scape you would n't have noticed the difference at all!!!!)
Really, with just thirty odd seconds of footage showing us anything at all its just daft trying to draw any conclusions about the story from it other than it mostly looks like they have properly managed to make Star Wars look quite cool again and they wanted to share that with the rest of us. The people who are making this are just as huge a fans of the series as we are!!!!! Give them a break and at least some credit for trying to bring us back to the worlds and characters we loved!!!!
