Star Wars:The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer — Page 3

After several hours, I finally was able to get through Fandango and get tickets to a late night showing on Friday the 18th. This is going to be the movie event of the year, if this evening's ticket buying frenzy is any indication.

Much is being made of Hamill's absence from the trailer and the poster. Might he be the new sith?

Jay Lerner-Z said: "^ Isn't JJ Abrams always super-secretive like that, though, even in trailers?"

No idea. I'm the furthest thing from a genre fanboy. I guess you can get away with that **** when you're dealing with franchises as enormously popular as Star Wars and Star Trek. Anyway, THIS, was the best part of the trailer by far:

I think you mean Kylo Ren and I'm not even paying attention.

CeeLo Green, right, that's what I meant. But I got Darth Atrocious right, right? Oh, wait, you're not paying attention. That's a shame, because I was talking specifically to you.

I'm a big Star Wars fan, but I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't know every character in the new film along with their complete back stories. It doesn't come out for two months, and people are already talking about how Kai Ryssdal is tempted by the Dark Side but he's saved by Rem Relganaps and together they defeat Darth Atrocious, or whatever. Why even bother watching the movie?"

I think the best part is that no one in reality knows anything about the plot. Where's Luke? Beats me. Why does Kylo Ren have this insane fanboy worship of Darth Vader? Wouldn't we like to know! There's been nothing but speculation and rumors at this point, and Abrams has been very good about giving out a little bit of information about the characters but not nearly enough to give away the movie; if anything, the clues he's been disclosing to the fans make the entire thing more mysterious, as a lot of the clues obviously don't make much sense out of context of the story. (Knights of Ren, the fact that some of the main characters' currently unknown last names are crucial to the plot, etc.)

Either way, anyone who claims to know anything about the actual plot is either lying or is very easy to convince through unproven gossip.

Okay. The guy from Girls is Luke's son. There is sort of a moratorium on discussing the history of the fight between the Jedi people and the Darth Vader people because it was so traumatizing for so many. But because the Force was so strong in Luke, the Force is strong in his son, the guy from Girls. So anyway, folk stories of the Star Wars circulate but people old enough to remember don't like to talk about it, (the way it took world war II vets forever to open up about their experiences). But the stories grow in their legendary status and the guy from Girls starts reading underground material about the Star Wars and, being a dumb kid, is totally swayed by a rugged individualist history written by an Ayn Rand type (like all stupid late teenage white kids) and he thinks that Darth Vader, his grandfather, was on the right track by being in touch with the dark side, and that the Jedis were too caring about other people. He begins forbidden training in the Force and his father, Luke Skywalker confronts him. Of course the greatest way for the guy from Girls to rebel against Mark Hammil is to say, "Grandfather had a lot of great ideas, he just took them too far!!" and eventually he and Luke get in a fight that escalates until the guy from Girls kills him. He feels a little bad, but not really bad, because Luke was standing in his way and then he takes his dead grandfather's helmet and, like a gay leather man in the '70s, thinks "Sure it's fascist, but it's also kind of hot" and has an updated version made for himself. Auntie Princess Leia is very upset, Han consoles her and a little soccer ball robot tries to cheer everybody up.

THE END

I left out the part where the soccer ball robot runs over poor Han's foot, breaking his ankle. He has brittle bones because spending a lot of time in space causes osteo.

It all just makes me wish I were in junior high school.

Well, we finally made it! The world premiere was last night, and early reviews/buzz for the movie have been positive so far. Is anyone catching the movie this weekend?

Saw it tonight, what an incredible film! Completely agree, it belongs right beside the original trilogy. It's so thrilling, shocking, touching, hilarious, and epic. Absolutely adored it. and god... John Williams.. can you please just score my life for me?!
