SW7 trailer is out

I could say this about getting a tooth pulled.

I don't know about that cross guard on a saber, especially that one. That looks like some fan's idea of a cool blade but it looks dumb to me. Plus, did anyone else think the Falcon looked too thin? Something was just off about it. Not much of teaser IMO but since this is over a year away from release I guess that makes sense.

Maybe the Falcon had to go on a diet like the original cast members involved in this one...
I heard it had really let go these last few years its cargo bay was sagging too much in the early test shots.

Fear not, Mad Max releases this Spring, and will give us plenty to drool over in the nine month interim. And Thunder Road is harder to come by for impulse buys.

My only concern is that it turns out to be a two hour chase scene. Parts of the trailer feel that way, but it's a trailer, so it's supposed to look exciting. With any luck there will be some good story in there too.

As for the cross-shaped lightsaber looking dangerous . . . ain't exactly the kind of weapon that lends itself to a safety switch in the first place. I'd have bent them forward a little bit like a sword-breaker hilt, but then you'd lose the obvious Christian imagery that has been readily apparent in . . . absolutely none of the prior films.

I can't tell if you're joking or not... but Anakin, the chosen one or savior, was born of a Virgin.

We're talking about the guy that murdered everyone, right?

I don't think there's meant to be anything Christian about the lightsaber. Star Wars has a reputation for being recycled mythology, but sometimes a lightsaber is just a lightsaber.

Something I found immensely exciting is that (apparently) Abrams was pretty set on using models for the ships and keeping the CGI effects for them down to a minimum.

Oh, he took some artistic liberties. But Jesus definitely used a lightsaber.

Looks GREAT.

I'm mixed on it.

I do like the look of the models for ships and how the sets seem to be more on the sparse side rather than the overly crowded scenes from the prequels. The x-wing skimming the water shot was awesome.
