So it sounds like the overall lack of protection is a well-worn topic, although it is supposedly still supposed to offer SOME protection. In 6 movies, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Stormtrooper ever be protected. Maybe they are just lying unconscious, but still alive, inside the armor. They got up later are were fine. |

Growing up I always enjoyed Star Wars, but certainly pretended to like it more than I really did because of my group of friends.
The Prequels really put a huge dent in my fandom. Every time I've rewatched he OT since the Prequels I've noticed all the things that are cheeky and cheesy and obvious and awkward about Star Wars. Of course I still enjoy the OT. But most of it has been ruined at this point. It's just childhood nostalgia and desire to fit in. But none of them, save Empire, is a "good" movie. But what I just saw... that trailer... holy... ****ing... balls... My imagination and my heart are reignited. That far exceeded all expectations. JJ Abrams gets it. He ****ing gets it. I can't wait for this movie. And I'm so thrilled to officially feel like a Star Wars fan again. |

The secrecy surrounding "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has been tighter than a Death Star detention level garbage masher -- until now! Director J.J. Abrams and producer Kathleen Kennedy (and some new and familiar cast members!) spoke with fans at the Star Wars Celebration on Thursday in Anaheim, Calif., where they shed new light on arguably the most highly anticipated sequel in the history of cinema. JJ: This is not the desert planet you're looking for: The barren sand-covered planet seen in the first two teaser trailers, isn't somewhere fans have seen before: "People thought it was Tattoine," J.J. told the crowd "It’s Jakku." Expect more real and less CGI: The director said there are an "endless number of effects" but a lot more real tangible things than fans might expect. "We needed to set a standard that was real.... you want it to be legitimate and authentic," he said of the real sets and locations used in "TFA." That includes everyone's possible new favorite droid BB-8 (the ball droid): "We talked about how having a CGI BB-8 would be easier. But we thought it would be better for the actors and the performances to have the real thing," the director said as the droid joined R2-D2 on stage -- do we detect a droid rivalry? Enter the newcomers: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega & Oscar Isaac took to the stage with J.J. and Kathleen and spoke about their characters. Daisy on Rey: "We discover Rey on the desert planet Jakku. She is a scavenger in a ship graveyard… very solitary. Until she meets another character and an adventure begins." John on his AWOL stormtrooper Finn: "When we find Finn, he’s in incredible danger. The way he decides to react changes his life and launches him into the 'Star Wars' universe in a unique way." Oscar Isaac on his X-Wing pilot character Poe Dameron: "He’s the best frickin' pilot in the galaxy, that’s who he is. He’s been sent on a mission by a certain princess. He comes across Mr. John Boyega’s character and their fates are forever intertwined." Enter the "Star Wars" vets: Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew joined the panel to cheers from the crowd! Leia's new, less-cinnamon-bun, look: "The buns are tired now. So [Leia is] probably not going to have the futuristic buns. But we have an alternate thing I think you’ll be into, [but] not the metal bikini!" Mark's message: "I have a simple message: a simple thank you. If it weren’t for all the UPFs—Ultra Passionate Fans—we wouldn’t be here. It never ceases to amaze me." J.J., who described the franchise as a "a western and a fairlytale," told the crowd, "I've never had more fun in my life working on anything" and that despite the inconceivable amount of hype, anticipation and expectation there is for the movie that they are working to please the diehard fans. "You can't please everybody, but we are trying to [exactly] do that," he explained. And before the panel ended and the newest teaser trailer was shown, the director told the crowd, "The energy you’re throwing our way is evidence of the Force!" "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" opens in theaters on December 18, 2015. |
