Star Wars the Force Awakens

[MrFloppy]

New trailer comes out today!

ive been so unplugged from media lately but happened to be on right now & see this thanks to you guys. THANKS!

edit OMg, its FRESH

hey so yeah does anyone know how involved the jim henson company is going to be with this film? both franchises are merged with disney at this point, and a chance at minimal CGI gives me a new hope

^ @dcisp i owe you one man, im not caught up at all. i think i love this new droid [BB-8?] ...he just sits well with me. heartwarming.

 

[Slam_Jam]

That is the cutest little robot I've seen since Wall-E.

 

[Commodore B.S.]

Oh my.

 

[Slam_Jam]

When BB started circling around R2 I thought it was trying to start a fight. Kick R2's ass in front of all these nerds. Praise BB.

 

[Conrix]

Why am I imagining Saix with a lightsaber like that, but in blue?

Spoiler

Probably because Xemnas already ripped off Star Wars lol

[Slam_Jam]

Holy shit, is that the same guy who complained about an MLP episode not being violent and bloody? Holy shit he is.

 

[Trickie]

Well, if they were hoping to make BB8 lovable, they definitely succeeded. Puppetry was definitely the way to go. It would've been much harder to pull this off with a CG droid.

already bitching in the cinema to buy my ticket NOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOW

 

[MrFloppy]

holy crap just rewound and watched the beginning parts of the vid dcisp linked and the crowd rocking out with lightsabers is so freaking nerdy

 

[Tookie]

FUCKING BB-8, HOW DOES IT WORK?

 

[exball]

That retarded soccer ball has a name?

 

[kobebyarlant]

BB8 is witchcraft. Wanna know how it works? The DEVIL makes it work.

 

[XYZpdq]

Spoiler: really a spoiler on how the practical effect BB-8 works and not in any way a joke

 

[exball]

To help prepare you.

I talked to my brother on the phone today. He and I both watched the new trailer at the same time--and talked about it for twenty minutes afterward. We were like little girls, gushing over the stormtrooper designs and the visual effects.

This is the first time I've been excited about Star Wars in 16 years.

This is the first time I've been excited about Star Wars in 16 years.

Three times I've shown nerd friends and co-workers BB-8 rolling around on-stage. Three times we've realized that in 2015 we got to wonder how Star Wars made that cool special effect again, instead of "oh, more CG. yay".
