The trailer was shit IMO. Abrams might come through with a decent flick but the trailers both sucked ass.

The original movie had the best posters. When I was 11 years old, I used to stare at them and daydream.

The last three sucked so bad I won't bother wasting money at the theater. Will just stream online.

This is the little video that Vanity Fair put up on their website.

A few people have put it up on YouTube.

For some reason, I can't embed it.

It's only a minute long.

Harrison Ford Makes Surprise Appearance at Comic-Con for Star Wars—but You Won't Believe What Fans Saw After the Panel!

http://my.xfinity.com/articles/entertainment-eonline/20150711/b675184/

Han Solo flies again!

Harrison Ford just popped up unexpectedly at Comic-Con for the Stars Wars: The Force Awakens panel, joining Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and franchise newcomers Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson and Gwendoline Christie like it was nothing.

But it was so something!

His arrival, which received a standing ovation from the 6,000 people who waited forever to get into Hall H, marked the actor's first official public appearance since he was injured in a plane crash back in March.

"I'm fine... great," Ford offered when panel moderator Chris Hardwick ventured to ask the famously non-smiley star how he was doing.

(Though we could have guessed as much, considering Ford looked pretty darn great already back in May, and he was back in the air ASAP.)

So with the crowd in Hall H thoroughly enraptured, the only thing that could top Ford's surprise appearance was...

The fact that it was a freakin' Star Wars panel!

"I never thought that we would do another," Ford said on the panel. "I was very gratified when I read the script."

Director J.J. Abrams brought along some exclusive behind-the-scenes footage for the audience's viewing pleasure, and just when they thought it couldn't get any better, Abrams invited everyone to troop (quite literally) over to a secret location for a concert!

Their escort? Stormtroopers!

Upon arrival at what turned out to be the Embarcadero Marina Park South, the super-fans (and some people who just got really lucky) were treated to a performance by the San Diego Symphony of the classic John Williams-penned Star Wars score. When they introduced the cast before the music started, Ford came out pretending to use his lightsaber as a cane.

This truly was the stuff that Comic-Con dreams are made of.

Here's the Comic-Con Reel from this past weekend.

It seems to confirm many of the rumors about the film in general.

This is looking good.

But I must admit that I am no fan of Abrams.

It looks more adult.

Also, I love the new look for the stormtroopers.

Desolate · « **Reply #264 on:** July 17, 2015, 02:22:20 AM »

I have reservations as well.

Agree about the troopers though. Their helmet armor now looks like a sad clown mask. Very cool.

The Empire is now The First Order. New leadership. Flag etc.

Desolate · « **Reply #265 on:** July 17, 2015, 02:33:20 AM »

The new stormtroopers.

The originals.

They appear to be keeping Luke's appearance under tight wraps. Everyone else has been shown.

My theory is he will show up only near the end of the film to fight the new Sith ("Kylo"?) and wreck his shit.

Desolate · « **Reply #268 on:** July 19, 2015, 03:42:27 AM »

He is said to be in only two scenes.

1. A flashback scene which is a first for a Star Wars film.

and

2. The last scene of the movie where he is in some castle. His niece Rey comes in. She hands him his old blue lightsaber. He looks up, lowers his hood and takes it from her. This is how the film is said to end.

Desolate · « **Reply #269 on:** July 19, 2015, 03:50:46 AM »

Here is the leaked art pic from the supposed scene.

Rami · « **Reply #270 on:** July 19, 2015, 03:56:32 AM »

I have always thought it was ridiculous. Even as a child. I liked the stormtroopers, the evil empire, it's order and greatness, though.
