Luke, Han Solo, Chewie, Leia, all of them from the original cast making a new Star Wars movie.
*_Manly tears drops_*
Chilliam Mace what
Chilliam Mace hmm, yes, I see the relevance now. You have opened my eyes.
Chilliam Mace *Death Star* was an inside job. (You're seriously undercutting your own message; 9/11 doesn't need to have been an inside job for our wars in the Middle East to have been unjust, destructive, and wasteful.)
Chilliam Mace You are a resident of a planet that is known for the consumption of marijuana, and you have demonstrated the results of this action rather well thank you.
Ooga Booga what the hell is wrong with you?
Already crying, i will have a full emotional breakdown seeing this film this December
The effects! Artoo and threepio! Leia! Han! Holy mother fuckin shiaaat!
I know man, also I just realized that threepio has a different left arm color
I'm going to have to watch it twice, once for the tears, and again for the beauty of it
With that being said I can already tell that this trilogy is going to be awesome! :)
Star wars has made me cry 3 times in the last six months. My body isn't ready, but I am
So amazing re watching this after seeing the film.
+Sam Cooper Yeah, the film looks amazing. They really nailed the visuals. Can't say the same about the plot and characters, but it looks and feels like a new generation of Star Wars: up to date, but keeping the original spirit.
+Sam Cooper Agreed. Just saw it last night and then again today. It's so cool to see everyone's roles in the movie after experiencing an amazing piece of film.
+alesin1992 The new characters were amazing
+Sam Cooper Yes, it really is!
anyone know the music in the beginning?
I come back here every now and then, just to remember... The birth of my Star Wars. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi will forever be the Star Wars I grew up on and loved so deeply in my heart. I'll never forget how it felt, in the weeks, months, even years, leading up to this cinematic event. A masterpiece in my opinion. It feels like home. When I watch this, along with the movies themselves, it feels like I'm home again. Nothing can ever take that away from me.
This is Star Wars done right. To see the passion that is being poured into this is quite amazing. I am breathless. I am teary eyed. I have truly fallen back in love with Star Wars.
Dude I love your stuff, keep it up, and also, May the force be with you
Agreed
I am at Comic Con as I write this, the panel made me cry. Then we all got a surprise concert from John Williams Orchestra with a fire work show. I'm in star wars heaven. I love the stuff you do dude, maybe one day we could work together (I'm a film maker)
Antoine Bandele Pretty much everything that's been put out by the Lucasfilm story group in the past year (Rebels, new comics, etc.) has been Star Wars done right. It's taught me to love the franchise all over again for the first time in years.
hell yea 😀
I LOVE STAR WARS
Stfu
Mafuyu Denniiiiis :D nicht mehr lange!
Juhu
Mafuyu jawol ich liebe auch starwars
Mafuyu don't we all, don't we ?
Does anyone else love that intro music? Those notes left me in a trance. I hope it's in the soundtrack.
Tony Barraza Epiphany by Philip Sheppard official soundtrack of In The Shadow of the Moon.
jakubas1000 Thanks!
Thank you!
Tony Barraza It kind of sounds like Mad World by Gary Jules, the Tears for Fears cover song from Donnie Darko.
I like it. :)
Tony Barraza nah. Not the John Williams style
Practical effects, animatronics, elaborate alien costumes, dwarves in robots. Just like the good old days, not to mention the cast! This is gonna be awesome!
Noah Gawthorn They've always used animatronics, PE and alien costumes.
Bailey -99 but not in the right balance.the prequels felt like 80% cgi and 20% practical effects
Ben_ Slashes Ep.1 is ok, 2 and 3 are purely CGI.
Bradley Rushton 2,3 were NOT purely cgi.
Bailey -99 ok the vast majority was CGI. It's called a purposeful exaggeration. So many things in those movies are CGI, they took the easy way out for everything. One solid example is the Clones. How hard is it to put people in costumes? Nah, just animate a whole clone army vs a whole droid army in a whole area that is one green screen. All SW films use practical fx, sets, etc. It's about where and how you use them, and more often then not, the prequels just opt out and cg it.
If this movie doesn't shatter every record I don't know what will
Nothing ever will
joe salcce Deez Nuts will
*claps slowly* 😂
***** "I'm Batman V Superman"? Is that an indie flick? Never heard of it.
Martian Miner Ok, so a Ben Affleck batman with no st up, and Suuperman with a bad set up and a wonder woman without a setup, and that film is just a set up for the justice leage, to much, if I wasn't a critic I would pass it
Real sets, practical effects...Hamill just named everything that shouldn't have been missing from the prequel films.
Gggmanlives The prequel trilogy actually used almost entirely real sets and had even more practical effects than the entire Original trilogy combined. Get your facts straight.
furiousfanboys.com/2014/05/the-star-wars-prequels-sets-or-green-screen/
Gggmanlives no need to be so butthurt just because I pointed out that you were lying.
Tamers12345
It's not lying and you're a fucking idiot if you think the prequels have more real sets than the original films. The entire Endor battle was shot in an actual forest. The Hoth battle was filmed in Norway. That is a REAL SET you fucking bonehead, not something built in a studio backlot.
The entire prequel trilogy had less location shots and practical sets than A New Hope alone. That says something.
You need to go back and do your homework.
Gggmanlives I never said the original trilogy was all cgi. I know most of it was shot in real locations. I was just correcting you on something you didn't know. that the prequels used more practical effects and real sets than you originally thought.
I have this giant grin on my face right now.
Brandon Hardy This video made me have a grin from ear to ear and im crying happy tears. This is how Star Wars should have been during the prequels
When they showed Rey in the mechanical cockpit of the Millennium falcon moving, my grin was so wide
Same here I got more excited watching this than any thing else.
We all do kid!
"That's good! You're taking your first steps into a larger world."
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
Gabriel Lezama Mark Hamill/Luke is only in for 15 minutes in this movie and Harrison Ford for 40 mins total tme. Priness Leah is in every 20 mins. Rest its all Daisey, John Boyega/Finn and that Soccer-Droid! tough for the old fans.
Rest in Peace...Peter Mayhew...1944-2019
If The Force Awakens is a huge hit (and we know it will be)...perhaps it will start a trend where Hollywood begins to use more practical effects in movies, and not rely on CGI 100% of the time.
RetroGamerAaron If that happens it would thanks to Mad Max : Fury Road
RetroGamerAaron Ugh, that sucks, because I'm going into CGI. Fuck practical effects. CGI looks better and is easier. Kind of hate Star Wars now for bringing this shit back.
***** Hey man. Be nice... You are destroying his future job by liking this... Be nice or down the road he will eventually spitt into your fries
*****
Hey, fuck you, you're the idiot. CGI is awesome. Practical effects look creepy. Fortunately, I don't even like Star Wars that much. I'm looking forward to Independence Day: Resurgence, which will be a 100x times better than this.
tornadolover Please go to another part of the internet.
Wow. Just, WOW.
IM SO EXCITED
Yaaaaaayyyy! Also, awesome.
***** AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!
***** yes, even the behind the scenes is just amazing.
benedict is in it!....I hope!
That flamethrower Trooper!
***** He would have the biggest smile on his face under that helmet
***** How the hell is that one gonna miss?
Kyle Mikesell He will find a way
Kyle Mikesell i bet the flame will go around the main characters and never touch them lol
***** xD when you said that i heard your voice doing the star wars enthusiast "whacht yor favorite tie fighta? mine da tie defenda \:3/" voice heheeh. we need some star wars content on the BVG channel I hope soon :)
Man i remember seeing this in 2015 feeling so excited and emotional for the new star wars movies...then being so disapointed with the sequels i wanted to love them i really did but so much was just wrong for me and finding out the behind the scenes drama it all made sense...
That final shot of Daisy and Harrison climbing into the Falcon's cockpit, with JJ looking on with a visible mixture of awe and pride and nervous responsibility, while Boyega says "Star Wars is an important part of everyone's history..." -- that is a powerful thing to watch. Beautiful.
Jeff Grimes yes
Jeff Grimes Slap that on a poster and sell it.
Jeff Grimes have to admit I teared up a bit
I thought that was Carrie. Let me watch again :)...
This is incredible.
It is truly incredible
StarGeek Hey its you
Cat Arse Indeed, it is me! :D
***** Thanks so much! That means a lot. :D
Love your videos, man!
There were tears in my eyes by the end of this video
Not here, don't do this here, not on a star wars video
Henry Gonzalez Billy Lee Walker is just defining his own label, ignore him
Henry Gonzalez Also happened to me, I know the feeling bro
Henry Gonzalez I looked and felt almost exactly like Matthew McConaughey from Interstellar. The emotions were overwhelming.
Henry Gonzalez How old are you? I felt the same way, but I was 6,9, and 12 when the original 3 movies came out.
Some people just can't function without finding something to complain about...can we just be happy that a new trilogy is actually happening??..
At least hold the hate until you actually see the movie...
***** ya true
+Micah Turner Tried having a reasonable conversation with some EU zealot, found out that he was a single-celled organism with the sole intent on hating Disney, regardless for any undeniable facts I give.
+Micah Turner I agree. I like all of the Star Wars movies. It is possible to be a fan of the originals and the prequels, though it seems that most people are either one, but not both.
Brittany Veldkamp I like things about both trilogies. Some people will let one thing ruin a movie for them even the majority was good.
+Codysir Not all EU fans are bad. There were quite a few good stories that could have been used.
It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on.
ctgstudios421 Thanks, Rick McCallum.
It's like poetry, you know, it rymes.
ctgstudios421 Yeah man, but the density is more than just pixels...nobody's mad about the density part of it
ctgstudios421 its gonna be great
ctgstudios421 "Oh, Shut your fucking face."
Maybe it won't be good. Maybe the magic will never be captured again.
But by the Force, you guys certainly tried. Thank you, from the bottom of my giddy heart!
THE MAGIC IS RECAPTURED
N Slater That's still a big fat MAYBE. It still very well can be all we hope for.
N Slater shut up
***** DA the hell are you doing here
N Slater people are salty as fuck i see nothing wrong with your comment haha
awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome
WheezyWaiter Agreed my friend...agreed.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
WheezyWaiter awesome
WheezyWaiter possum
WheezyWaiter reason to be alive?
This promo is shot and edited so beautifully. The nostalgia is most definitely real here. Wow.
All this Star Wars hate is really making my heart sink. Fuck the haters, this movie will be AMAZING!
Stormtrooper # 1138 I have fear with the end of the movie . Harrison Ford wanted his character died. And if he does in this movie ?. I do not want.
Stormtrooper # 1138 Star Wars is for babies
Uhhhh.... no, it's not, dumbass. Get your brain fixed.
That's just the kind of thing a baby would say.
No doubt the movie will be a massive success,it's Star Wars. They've learned their lessons from Ep 1-3. However I won't be seeing this movie until maybe a few months later,maybe never. I'm really put off by Rey,I'm pretty sure they're gonna have her all too heroic. Most movies today try too hard to have a badass female and it ruins the movie. I have a feeling that's whats gonna happen here. Not excited at all on the new characters except the villains.
The first Star Wars film in over 30 years.
Lawrence Di Stefano Exactly.
Lawrence Di Stefano ;)
Ian what has he done wrong?
Lawrence Di Stefano lmao I see what you did there.
Not the prequels. XD
The marketing team is truly doing a fantastic job, I couldn't be more hyped than this!!
I would love to be on that filming set!
THE PRACTICAL EFFECTS
THE PRACTICAL EFFEEEEEEEEEEECTS
:D
***** It just feels like Star Wars, CGI just turns off the magic, there's nothing like the work and effort of so many people to make this possible.
Daniel Zapata there will be more cgi than practical effects in this movie
ThatGuyJay3 I know, it's impossible to live CGI out in a film like this. But I'm talking about having real things, real stormtroopers, real backgrounds, no bluescreen.
ThatGuyJay3 exactly it's like people just tune that out or something the practical effects look awesome but it's 2015 we expect a balance between the two art forms.
***** Practical effects = Practical FEEEEEELLLLLLLS!
Highest earning film of all time. Can I get a second on that?
gamerboy Nope.
gamerboy Yes, I would think so, although next year has some big guns as well.
I second
gamerboy If this one actually does it everyone likes it, then it will only hold the record until the next one.
Whoever the fuck is cutting onions in here please stop!
Sev808 yea stahp it please
Sorry!
Sev808 *cuts onions slowly in front of you*
That anamorphic zoom in and focus in the first couple of shots. OH YESSSSSSSSS.
One word, I'msofuckingpumped!!!!
I just need this movie already...like, now. Is there any way faster than the hype train to get to the destination of this damn amazing movie!
BTW, question...I'm confused now as to whether Rey or Finn is the main character. Is it Rey now? Cause I've heard some things.
Alexiz001 Assuming Fin is Hans kid, then it'd be him.
Alexiz001 It is unknown who the protagonist will be, but most people think it's Finn because he is seen with Luke/Anakin's lightsaber in concept art.
Philip Clapper ok. I heard about that too, and thought for sure that Finn would be the main protagonist, but then i read new articles and such saying that Rey might end up slightly beating Finn as the main character in the movie, which is what confused me. But cool, because i think whoever ends up with the force should be the main protagonist.
Alexiz001 imagine the people with cancer who won't be able to watch this movie :(
Watching this video brings me back to the magical, mysterious anticipation of this movie. It's so weird to think that it's already been half of a year since this movie was released. I'm still in awr
*awe
The Force Awakens is the PERFECT title...The entire star-wars community is buzzing like i have never seen before, and even above and beyond when Empire was about to come out. We were excited as hell for the prequels, but theres something different in the air..you can feel it, you can see it in Harrison, Carrie and Mark...Look at Anthony Daniels face(C3P0) on set in that clip...he's in heaven. Theres been an awakening..
"Everything's changed but nothing's changed." That in itself is a great Star Wars quote!
I actually cried when watching this, ive almost been raised by star wars. I love this universe so much, may the force be with you all.
Still powerful after watching the movie
Give John Williams the greatest award you guys kind offer. His music is what brings these stories above and beyond besides the plot.
Star Wars used to mean so much to people
still does
1. Shot on 35mm film
2. Almost all practical effects
3. Not even a fraction of the amount of CGI as the prequels
4. From the director of the same man who revived Star Trek
Need I say anthing else?
TheLennyLegoShow episodes 1-3 were shot on 35mm film
S&S Pictures Acording to IMDB Episode 1 was partially shot on film but 2 and 3 were digital. Unless HDCAM is some sort of other version of film I'm unaware of, but it wasn't 35mm
TheLennyLegoShow i thought for sure it was on film.
S&S Pictures Go to IMDB and go down to where it says "view technical details" or something like that. It gives you information on how the film was shot, aspect ratio, film length, etc. It really isn't surprising though that they were shot digitally, given that George Lucas made almost every single background digital, and it is highly unlikely he would have had the patience to keep changing out the reels LOL
TheLennyLegoShow it was shot in a 2.35:1 so it could have been 35mm film
Wow, this made me cry, I can't hate Star Wars, I like all the movies, even the prequels, and I'm sure I will really enjoy the next episodes.
David Andrés Rojas Are you also into Clone Wars and Rebels?
No I'm just talking about the movies. But I like Clone Wars, the one they made before episode 3, but then they tried to make that story longer and that was crap.
And I don't like Star Wars Rebels, I think that story is so boring, and it doesn't make sense about many thing of the original trilogy, and the prequels.
That magical moment them words 'a long time ago in a galaxy far far away....' Showed on screen I cried.......
I can't understand how it's possible to dislike this movie...
chills
Dan Faerch FYI :)
omg omg omg... can't wait!
Oli McIntosh the force gave me chills too!!!
Practical effects made Aliens, Blade Runner, and Empire the movies they were as classics.
Mike Cronis
Don't forget the underrated 1982 masterpieces like John Carpenter's The Thing and The Dark Crystal.
Sooo not the stories or actors or the scores or a combination of that? Just the practical effects made these classics? ;) So I agree that "Hollywood" should think of better ways to use the tremendous amount of freedom cgi gives but honestly this attitude of practical is always better is a little bit laughable. And why do advocates of "all practical" only ever mention great films with practical fx and then put them to bad cgi ones? Gravity, life of pi, Dawn of the planet of the apes, Rise of the planet of the apes, etc. are examples of cgi done and used right. Or would they look better with human actors that have gorilla costumes? :)
eralec I know people never mention the good ones. Avatar for example, entire movie was CGI and it is a modern classic.
Also, while I love practical effects and think that there are movies where using CGI would be silly, the effects aren't what made these movies. It was the stories, actors, scores and stunts/action. The effects are only a step above cinematography. And you never hear people talking about iconic cinematography.
James Bond While I agree with you on a lot of stuff, I actually read/hear people talk about iconic cinematography a lot. Days of Heaven is a film that comes to mind.
James Bond Avatar isn't a modern classic. It was just a blockbuster hit. In 10 years Avatar will look horrible, just like The Phantom Menace looks horrible now. Besides, Avatar stole Dances With Wolves' scenario. Real modern classics are much better, The Dark Knight is a good example.
I literally had goose bumps on my body watching this.
This is going to be so epic.
Every time I watch this, I get emotional. Damn.
Oh my... They're doing just a stunning job promoting this without giving anything away.
I'm liking the proper use of practical effects. Hopefully they keep George Lucas and his bucket of green paint locked in the cupboard until it is finished.
Matt Hawkins Amen to that!
0:40 This is what most motion capture performances these days should be. Using the actor's motion to control a robot.
Kevin Klayer Also, at 0:54. Who is that? It looks like Luke, but he looks to young.
That explosion at 1:22... Tears
This trailer alone will inspire a new generation of filmmakers. The part where they showed the film camera running brought tears to my eyes.
There's more artistic vision here in this promo video for Episode 7 than was evidenced in the entire Prequel Trilogy. Sorry, but you know it to be true.
"Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be TRUE!"
***** A bit unfair, and despite the prequels being terrible movies I actually disagree; the prequels did come up with a lot of unique and innovative new environments and settings and stuff, they just sucked because they looked fake and too fantastical and stupid, and of course it didn't help that the movies were terrible as well. This new film seems to be playing it pretty safe with largely imitating the old films, but people like it b/c it looks good (real stuff not cgi) and is reminiscent of the OT.
***** To be fair, the Prequels had more practical effects than the Originals.
One Nerd95 that's because the budget allowed it.
Branden Lucero Of course.
George Lucas Disliked
"needs more CGI, not enough Jar-Jar"
Jonah Simm That joke was old in 1999.
JJ: Does Jar Jar's skeleton count?
jaquen1977 your old in 1999
Jonah Simm J.J.'s the key to all this.
Jonah Simm To George's credit he did admit JarJar was a mistake.
Once STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is released, It will bend time and space. December 18, 2015 will be remembered as the day J.J. Abrams conquered the entire world... and will look back and say "The force is strong with J.J."
“Real sets. Practical FX.” It almost like they are giving the middle finger to George Lucas overuse of CGI. I love it!
+N Villesanti Not specifically, that's just how people are interpreting it. They've said numerous times that they love George and the work he's done, they constantly show him love. It's more of a comment towards modern movies in general, many movies abuse CGI nowadays and JJ is trying to get away from that.
+Bradley Rushton, So you are saying that GL didn't abuse CGI in the prequels??? If you look at episode 2 and 3, nearly 90% of the sets are green screens, not to mention that the clone troopers are CGI too!
+N Villesanti I never said he didn't abuse CGI in the prequels, I never said that they didn't animate too much. I was just saying NO ONE involved with making star wars is trying to take shots at george, they love george. That comment was about modern film-making and people want it to look like a personal attack, it isn't
+Bradley Rushton You just didn't get the underline of what Hamill said, heck even Mayhew said it "bring back the old ways of doing things." Lucas didn't want to bring back the old ways, he wanted to use ALL CGI. Heck, it wouldn't have surprised me if Lucas wanted to make another Special Edition and replace the actors with CGI cartoons. Thank God Lucas has nothing to do with the new SW. Lucas lost his touch after Empire Strikes Back as a storyteller and instead became an entrepreneur.
+N Villesanti or a kudos to the old ways of the force. Its a nod more than a dis, imo.
brilliant. Like a reunion with a childhood friend who later fell in with a bad crowd, but went through rehab and came back stronger.
I look like The Joker right now because of how much I am smiling.
_NOICE_
The Joker The Joker has a beard in this video.
soundtrack at the beginning is from In the shadow of the moon if someone was wondering :)
Thanksan, i was looking for this for so long:)
That shot of Harrison taking his seat in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon again, after so many years. That dashing rogue back in action. Ugh, I shed some tears.
If only they had a plan for the story. This had soooo much potential.
When George Lucas did the prequels no one back then had the balls to challenge him and there was no pressure on him. So that's why George Lucas didn't took the prequels seriously like he did with the original trilogy. Why do you think he changed director on every sequel with the original trilogy? Because he cared and had pressure on him. This time it is Disney and JJ Abrams up to the challenge and pressure is on them, let's see if they can handle it and make Star Wars great again.
+The Dude 7 The prequels were good from a general story telling view. Palpatine being behind the plot of all the movies leading up to the birth of the empire was some of the best I have ever seen. Not many movies can pull that off.
Hell, Episode I's plot was served to set things up for Palpatine so he can control the senate/Old Republic.
The stories themselves were great, but the writing was mediocre at best and could get corny such as with Jar Jar binks and Kid Anakin.
The Dude 7 Anakin was seduced by more than just Palpatine. It was also through his nightmares. Fear. Anger. Aggression. These are all seductions as well.
***** Nah his nightmares are not canon for me. Even back then before the prequels when I watched the original trilogy I always thought Darth Vader joined the Sith because he thought the Sith was more powerful. I always thought Vader wanted more power and take control of the Galaxy. His dream about Padme and he wanted to join the sith to save Padme is not Darth Vader for me. That was awful in my opinion, it makes him look soft.
+The Dude 7 Watch the FULL movie for FREE via my channel! Check out my latest video!
+The Dude 7 JJ Abrahms=Donald Trump?
This is the most magical trailer I’ve ever seen. I return here just to feel the same as before TFA premiere.
I just can't stop getting the chills when I see Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher sitting inside the Falcon. Touching those buttons and controls 3 decades later and reminiscing the memories he has of Star Wars.
JRr #gamerguy17 err...that's not Carrie Fisher sitting in the Falcon. It's Daisy Ridley playing a new character Rey.
Bradley Rushton Sure looked like her...but thanks for telling
As much as I am thrilled I feel a tiny bit sad for Lucas.
highlandcommando You shouldn't after what he had done to the franchise.
SuperFry He created it. Show some respect. He fucked it up too though, so do as I do... just ignore the prequels.
SuperFry highlandcommando he was about to make it worse by being the writer/director AGAIN with MORE CGI bullshit with the new trilogy. I am grateful, and in JJ I trust.
highlandcommando hes a billionaire dont feel sad lol
insiderjokevids You do realize that this one, despite using lots of practicals and as many as possible, still uses a ton of CGI too right? In fact, even more total CGI effects. Enough with the over the top Lucas hate.
And it's not like Lucas didn't come up with the stories for even the whiners most precious (and of course it is a great film) ESB. In fact Lucas even wrote the entire initial draft of the screen play that got used for ESB.
I didn't think I'd ever be excited for another Star Wars-related anything, but this kind of stuff just ... yeah, I'll be there in December.
How to handle any Force Awakens footage
Step 1: Try not to cry
Step 2: Cry a lot
Who was tearing up with this way more than with the actual trailer? I mean, just look at those people's faces, they are really into it, doing it with passion, bringing their best out.
It may not beat ESB, but this will be the best movie of 2015. PERIOD.
This is amazing. If only George Lucas was this passionate when he made the prequels.
***** Rick Berman: it's so dense every single image has so many things going on.
Conrado Javier What is it with Ricks?!
***** Plinkett: It's good to show contempt for your audience. Just ask Michael Bay.
***** I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
"What's wrong with your faaaaace?"
This is the video that inspired me to buy my first camera 3 years ago. Now I am running my own videography business part time and still want to climb to this level.
Thank you Star Wars and JJ Abrams for guiding me towards my dreams :)
MUST...NOT...CRY
I just want to cry from looking at this..so many childhood feels again. Reliving the galactic dream
If I had a dollar for every time I've watched this, I'd have enough money to buy a ship to get off tatooine.
Was that Simon Pegg? Had no idea he was gonna be starring in this. Neat.
Nihilistic Misanthrope He's not really starring in it. But yes, that was Simon Pegg
Why was he there then?
Nihilistic Misanthrope to be in the movie
Well, that's what I meant by 'starring in'.
Nihilistic Misanthrope He's not part of the main cast. That's not "starring in."
I can't wait!
Remember watching this the day it was uploaded. Memories.
This 4 min Documentary is still the best thing to come out of Disney's Star Wars.
I listen to the opening song so often,
I cannot wait for the Blu-ray to drop. I NEED THE DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY!
Even though this a reel and behind-the-scenes and not a trailer I am in freaking love with this and this is arguably the most awaited movie of this year, *of this decade*. This is what it feels like to be in heaven...I only feel sorry for the people who lost their lives between 2005 and 2015, they will never have the chance to know that such an awesome dream is coming true- *Episode 7*
I really like how they're making an effort to have practical effects be a selling point. It shows that they know that this is what the fans have been wanting for a while. Of course there's gonna be some brief moments of some CGI, but it won't be like the prequels were it's just a computer generated cluster fuck
AwkwardMeerkat Not every effect in the Star Wars prequels was CGI, you know.
GameStation3 But it was enough to give so much of a negative impact/response
GameStation3 but was it necessary to cgi every clone trooper?
SAOTUBE
Well, they ARE clones. Not everyone in real life has the exact same built.
"It's like poetry, it rhymes"
I love how a lot of these characters are not straight CGi. Keeps the realness alive.
This might just be better than a trailer. And we got to see Leia!!!
But it would have been nice to have a trailer.
James Nierle I don't want anymore trailers
James Nierle It'd would've, but I'm perfectly fine with this. We still get a lot of new stuff to pick apart in this video.
twmcgraw303 oh yeah you get to see soo much more with this than in another trailer
Agreed; this video has more Easter eggs than the Bunny's whole basket
I keep coming back to watch this every once in a while. Brilliance.
Damn watery eyes. Tatooine sand must have got in 'em.
Pat the NES Punk pat? why are you here?
Is it possible to be a fan of the OT and the prequels in this fandom, besides a few of my good friends and I? Like, I love both trilogy's with every fiber of my being:) I will never get over the feeling of joining this wonderful world of Star Wars. It was one of the best days of my life!
Little Miss Dysthymia Yeah that's very true, the haters are always on the internet complaining about the prequels, all the time. I think it actually scares off people, like us, who actually enjoy BOTH of the trilogy's. Though, they don't scare me because I'm proud to love both trilogy's and I don't care what the haters say! ;D And I'm always on tumblr (my tumblr account is: anakinspadme.tumblr.com) and I have several prequel fans but since the haters are so loud and consistently complaining about the prequels, it sometimes seems rare when people actually enjoy both, even though, I'm sure more people enjoy both but are to scared to admit it without getting hate sent to them.
And in a few years, the prequel trilogy will only be remembered as "The movies with the lousy effects and when we lost a decade for making REAL Star wars movies".
TOFKAS01 Don't count on it. It's far more likely that they'll see a reappraisal once the generation that grew up with the prequel trilogy is old enough to take the reins of pop culture.
Rudy Redlin I grew up with the Prequel trilogy, kind of. I'm a 93' baby, so I was only like 7 or 8 when Phantom Menace came out. I turned into an adult, realized the prequels were pretty poor and now I really only like the originals. I don't think the prequel trilogy will ever be remembered by great by anyone, most people just out-grow them. Even when I first saw them as a kid, I knew something wasn't right about them. They just didn't feel right, now I know why.

That's fine, but your experiences don't describe everyone else's. The prequels have plenty of older fans, and they're not totally despised among the general public (though the internet may give that impression).
As for my own experience, which I admit is irrelevant? I liked them as a kid, convinced myself I hated them as a teenager/young adult, became interested in some of the more esoteric forms of cinema later on and have since then grown to appreciate them.
Rudy Redlin My experiences definitely don't describe other people's experiences. I never claimed that. The prequel movies have a decent amount of fans, and generally they are considered poor films. The people I meet in my life on and offline rarely hold the prequels in high regard.
My point is, Star Wars 4-6 are great movies to this day, the people who saw them in theatres still think they are great. I do not personally believe the prequels have that staying power, it's only been a handful of years and people are already referring to them as crap.
I'm not saying they are totally crap, Ill watch them cause I like star wars. But they re-capture none of the magic and imo they won't be remembered as anything other than bad or ok films. They wont have this legacy like the other films.
TOFKAS01 You're right. The prequel trilogy will be only remembered as a poor movies that almost ruined Star Wars.
Can I TELL you how much this warms my heart?! Sure, okay, it's 2015 and there is expected to be some CGI ... but to see people in costume, and to see PROPS MADE just like it had been done in the original. It gives me shivers and tears.
This is still my happy place...
This is going to be better than Empire Strikes Back.
There, I said it.
Nooo! That's impossible!!!!
They're both awful anyway
N05L31 Actually Anthony Daniels said it too.
I hope force awakens will be the best, i know it's going to be amazing already.
+N05L31 And therein lies the failure that is waiting to happen.
Too high an expectation will only result in disappointment.
As has already been demonstrated.
Amazing! It's Star Wars! STAR WARS!
This movie is going to be so trippy/surreal with all those props, costumes, robots, and puppets, it's going to feel alien yet familiar... That is Star Wars... Beyond Stoked at this point.
Who’s here after The Rise Of Skywalker?

I'm a 3D artist and even I really like their decision to keep it to practical effects. I don't mind CG at all (as long as it's good of course) but Star Wars seemed to be born out of amazing practical effects, and it would feel weird with it full of CG.
Goosebumps at the end of this vid
To this day, I still cry every single time I hear Yoda's Theme. Such a beautiful piece.
This absolutely puts the prequels to shame
The prequel trilogy had a large share of practical effects and real sets. But it's supposed to look polished and new because it takes place in an era before the Empire took over everything.
GameStation3 people dont usually understand that...

As quoted in an article I've read:
"The Prequels look slick and new because it was an intentional story-driven choice.
The time of the Prequel Trilogy is meant to be a 'Gilded Age'. This was the height of society under the Republic. Technology was strong, and everything was slick and advanced as society was prospering. When the Galactic Empire comes about, that all falls apart. Lucas meant to show that under the Empire technology, except for the Imperials of course, regressed. All of the money went to funding the Empire’s expansion, so everything else in the galaxy fell apart and became dirty and 'lived in.' The Rebels had to scrap together whatever they could.
That’s why the Prequels look different than the Original Trilogy. Not because of CG, digital filmmaking, or anything technical. It’s because the movies were showing a different era of the Star Wars saga"
GameStation3 Maybe in Ep 1. In Episodes 2 and 3 they really did use virtual CGI sets for what seems like a good 90% of the film, or more. It was ridiculous. nothing tangible. Maybe in a few years the CGI would be at that point, but Lucas did jump the gun on that count and lost so much of the visual spirit and atmosphere of the originals as a result.

Most of the blue and green screen images were set extensions, not the sets themselves. Read this, please: furiousfanboys.com/2014/05/the-star-wars-prequels-sets-or-green-screen/7/
GameStation3 I think you're missing the point. It's not how polished or new things look in the prequels that are so objectionable. It's how little connection or reaction actors seem to have to digital characters. It's how little empathy an audience has for CGI robots fighting CGI clones. It's how every scrap of human emotion seemed to get squeezed from even the humans standing in computer generated rooms.
Am I the only one who cried? Yes? Whatever...
Zsófia Bálint I sweated from my eyeballs a little, but no. I didn't cry. lol
Zsófia Bálint i watched it 6 times and still have a gooseskin and tears in my eyes ;)
Zsófia Bálint Nem de szerintem rohadt jó lesz :D Nem értem minek vészmadárkodik mindenki hogy rossz lesz.
Zsófia Bálint Nope. 39 years ago I was in a line that wrapped around the block....whew.
Zsófia Bálint as soon as i saw the first 30 seconds of the video i cried of awesomness!
Loved this movie more than anything!! Episode VIII cannot come fast enough :D :D
Anyone else have their money on this being the highest grossing film of all time?
