Star Wars Episode 7 has an official title, The Force Awakens. Today is the final day of filming.
Saw this online earlier. Definitely has that Star Wars Universe “feel” to it. I was just explaining to my wife how much this would mean to older fans like myself who really grew up on the originals, but felt let down by the sequels, if the new ones were well done.
I’ve heard all sorts of tidbits, possible spoilers, and who knows what, and it always gets me into fan-boy mode, just hoping for that feeling to magic that the originals brought.

She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts.
Hmmmm.
Rather underwhelmed, the shots seemed really flat and that fucking lightsaber was cringeworthy.
Always great to see the Falcon though.
What’s with that lightsaber? Why is where the pommel would be for a normal sword mini-lightsabers?

There’s gotta be more to the lightsabre than they’re showing. Having those two side prongs would make it impossible to wield as you’d stab yourself or cut your own hands off at the wrist. Maybe a force field or projectiles or something. Also, I think the preview looks dope.
Jurassic World looks badass too.

I’m totally behind the idea that Force users are the battery for their own lightsabers. Explains the difference in color, design and use.

Nope. Han Solo - Hoth. Cut open a Tonton… And then there’s General Grevious.

Yeah, I personally don’t really like that idea.
I just hope these movies don’t have such a narrow and uninteresting approach to the force that the prequels basically created.

Both were strong in the Force (although I’d rather the prequels were a Jedi mind trick). I know how lightsabers used to be constructed[/i] but with JJ Abrams penchant for reinvention it’s an option.

An advanced lightsaber model, then. Like a Jedi version of Mjonir. Personalized to the owner and mentally controlled.

Yeah, that’s a bit better. Sort of fits with Sith stuff especially, like the one portrayed they would be red for passionate and somewhat unstable due to their emotions - or some shite like that.
If JJ Abrams fucks this up, he will be known as Jar Jar Abrams.
That trailer was really good in that it was simple. If you’ve watched it twice you’ve seen all you’re going to get from it. No attempts to dazzle the audience with 500 ships and twelve moons and 4500 laser bolts. And not a collection of 100 half-seconds images.
There’s supposed to be a longer trailer in April.
I think we all should just chill out about the lightsabers and be thankful Abrams didn’t bring back Heesa-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named and debates about trade routes and tariffs.
And as far as ineffective lightsabers tactics go, I think Pong Krell takes the cake, followed by Maris Brood, and maybe the absolutely rediculous dark saber kantana thingy

JJ most cruise through the Oatmeal
