Star Wars Celebration kicked off in Anaheim this morning with a MASSIVE bang. Fans were treated to a 'Force Awakens' panel that concluded with teaser trailer #2 for the movie and HOLY SHIT did it impress. It's pretty pathetic that Ive watched it about 20 times so far. Thats why Im gonna break it down so I can stop watching it. It opens with a shot of a crashed Star Destroyer in a desert wasteland.. Tatoine? AAAHH me thinks not. Read far below for more.
We then hear Luke with what we first believe is dialogue ripped directly from Jedi. "The Force runs strong in my family. My father had it.... I have it... my sister has it...........You have that power too" Jesus Christ!!! This is new dialogue!!!!!!. Luke must be talking to an offspring of Leia's or his own. Whats cool about this part is we can almost deduce who is who in these shots.. When Luke says "My father has it" (HAS???) We see a shot of Vaders melted mask. When he says "I have it" we see a figure with R2 with a robotic hand I can only assume is Luke. When he says "My sister has it" We see someone handing Luke's lightsaber to what appears to be a "larger" woman who I can only assume is Leia. Pretty cool if this turns out to be true. Good editing I guess.... WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME...UGH.. I Keep watching the trailer over and over while trying to type all this.. You know what, screw it, watch the trailer for yourself below, then stick around for my 4 favorite parts below. I obviously can't write this without having nerdgasm after nerdgasm so let's not waste everyone's time.....enjoy some winding .gifs instead.
Top 4 things that made me drool
4. OH HELL'S YEAH...
If you watched the Celebration panel you know a little secret told by JJ himself. "This ain't Tatooine...." It's a planet referred to as Jakoo... or Jaqoo.. we don't know the spelling yet. Abrams stated this in the Panel. But this shot is utterly amazing.. and I hear its 100% practical. 98% of the budget was spent building this life sized crashed Destroyer.
3. Kylo Ren-
We've actually seen a lot of Kylo's face today thanks to concept art released this morning, but this is the first "official" release on film. His mask is looking to be exactly as described in all the rumors. Glad to put a face to the name. Looks like hes gonna fill the shoes of Vader quite well.
2. CHROME TROOPER?......YES PLEASE!!!!!!
