Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pre-release)

Yeah great CINEMATIC TRAILER. Great game? Still yet to be seen and a pretty weak reveal in my book. If you want to sell me a game, show me the game being played. If you want to sell me a CG animated film, show me this (and I would buy this if that's what they were selling!)

Did you watch the panel? All of that footage was captured with the in-game engine. Sure, the camera movements etc. are cinematic, but all of the assets you see in that trailer WILL be in the game. Also, for those at SWCA, the EA booth is showing off some gameplay footage, so expect that to leak soon.
 
Oh I watched the panel and I know this was all in-engine stuff..... but I'm not seeing some actual gameplay action going on. That's the part that matters most since that's what most of our time will be spent in. I want to see the interface and how the switch between 3rd and 1st person look.

I didn't see this posted earlier, feel free to Jedifyfe me if that's the case.


Yes, story matters a lot to me. But so does the willingness to put CG aside even when it'd be easier.

Edit: found a better version on Youtube.

I think most fans would agree that the story is going to make or break this film, but unfortunately that's a complete unknown right now. All we have to be excited about are the visuals, which look great. This is the Replica PROP Forum. We're excited for real world things. You really find that sad?

Totally agree. It goes without saying that the story is most important; that's hardly a revelation. However, all we can comment on thus far is what we see in these trailers. Nothing "sad" about that at all...
 
As cool as that star destroyer was, it felt more like a cool image than anything. The scene would have been just as cool with only the x wing

I'll disagree, here. Between the crashed Star Destroyer and X-Wing, and the crashed Super Star Destroyer, there's a heavy implication something pretty major happened at Jakku, probably a good quarter-century earlier, and I have a feeling it's relevant to the plot and why everyone is there at that point in the film.

Incidentally, another thought is that if that IS the super star destroyer, then perhaps the desert planet is actually Endor, 30 years after the death star 2 was destroyed.

Fun as that would be, the Executor was never THE Super Star Destroyer. Reference Han's "You're just jittery. There're lots of command ships." Yes, it was the only one at the Battle of Endor, but this is pretty certainly not a code-name to hide the fact that this is an environmentally-devastated Endor. Besides, the Executor crashed into the Death Star, and the Death Star itself exploded not too long after. I doubt whatever was left would have looked like that after re-entering and crashing.
SmilingOtter, that BB-8 roll-out was posted over in the Star Wars Costumes & Props section, in that droid's main thread.

I also have had something else niggling at me... This is the "chrome stormtrooper" from the new teaser and immediately preceding posters:

This is the concept art:

(And another, minus the hood, more clearly showing the helmet and... I guess I'll call them bevors, attached to the chest armor and protecting the neck...)

Given how close the other concept art we saw was to what we have ended up seeing in the teasers or on display at Celebration, I'm wondering if these are two separate armors, and we haven't seen the fully-realized costume depicted in the concept paintings yet. Like, this new "chrometrooper" in the teaser is an honor guard or some such to Gwendoline Christie's character (the probable Captain Phasma). Food for thought...

Wow, that's a good point. I thought the middle pic was a photo and not just concept art. It didn't dawn on me that the helmet we see in the trailer is not the same!
 
By the way...
I love, Love, LOVE the new black TIEs with the white panels.
I hope the movie makes me as teary-eyed as the trailer.
(fingers crossed...)

EDIT: Oh yah... and Han's blaster... ANH Hero? Looks like it to these weary old eyes.

AWESOME. Is that from Jason Takes Manhattan? It's uncanny.
Yep. Oddly similar, aren't they?

Manhatten may very well be the worst f13 flick
The worst Paramount one for sure. Jason Goes to Hell makes it look like Citizen Kane though.
I have to agree with Cayman Shen--Jason Takes Manhattan suffers from an extremely low budget, but Jason Goes to Hell doesn't even quality as a Friday the 13th movie.

It's a shame--I work with the cop who says "yes!" after Jason is blown up, and I can't even enjoy my daily brush with exceptionally minor slasher movie fame...the movie is just so damn bad.

Back on topic, I wish Han had his ESB blaster. Always preferred that one.
