Akima:
Oh, sorry. ZOMG! Everything in that trailer was new and fresh and awesome!
(click to show/hide)In 1977.

eh, I said the new design of the X-wings made them look like Z-95s when they revealed it months back.. It's like they are designing in reverse. As far as the light-longsword goes.. It's stupid. Not any more stupid than Maul's pole saber though. The little cross bar blades are just pointless and potentially dangerous. And they wouldn't serve the purpose of a cross guard in catching a blade, since if they did, the enemy's lightsaber would come into contact with the metal parts of the cross guard, not the energy parts. Just another idea they thought would be could that makes no logical sense.
My peeve though is... Tatooine. Freaking, bloody Tatooine. Again. Supposedly the armpit of the galaxy, a little no where world on the Outer Rim. Yet it gave birth (literally apparently) to Darth Vader. It's where Luke grew up and Obi-Wan hid out. It's been in nearly every movie and visited so often... And here we are again. I would at least like some explanation that the planet is actually some Force nexus and a lot more important than everyone assumed. But that would be stretching it that nobody's figured that out for thousands of years. And I imagine they are just going back there as a location because it's appeared so much. Essentially the film's version of 'it's famous because it's famous'.
Akima:
That is essentially the problem with the whole trailer. Everything is a call-back. Tatooine, stormtroopers, cute/funny robot, desert junkyard, girl on a hoverbike, the Millennium Falcon, tie-fighters & X-wings, lightsabers, ominous dark-robed figures... It rather screams: "We are too terrified to change even one teat on our money-cow."
J:
pretty much. the whole thing comes across as a pandery fan-film to me.
Stoon:
So, 30 years after the fuzzy muppet Star Wars movie, and The Empire is still using TIE fighters, and the rebels are still using X-Wing fighters. Nothing new after 30 years.
You can tell The Empire is run by conservatives. Conservatives always repress science and technology spending.
