    Which means you are rewatching 'Primer'? ;)

    Slightly off-topic, I had a fun time watching Primer. ;-)

    My youths in school are going to have to deal with their science teacher throwing in yet another movie from which to draw good examples.

    "All right kids, you all saw the teaser, now let's calculate the Millennium Falcon's momentum as it dives into that space ship. What's that? This ain't real? Young man, let me tell you what ain't real, your passing the next test ain't real! Now leave the room and practice your Force abilities."
  • Believe it or not, a 9 yo reaction to this is "why no new starships ?". He knows SW not really by the movies, but because of all the Lego stuff :)

    Well I'm glad there are no new ships (at least as far as we know). I've been waiting nearly two decades for some familiar vehicles.

    The shuttle with TIE fighter escort flying toward the Star Destroyer isn't new? It looked new to me.

    Yeah, that one looks pretty new, you're right.
  • He's 9 yo ! ... (and the trailer is not even dubbed or subtitled in French yet !)

    What does the language have to do with noticing a ship? I'll concede the 9 year old part (though, when I was 9, I noticed quite a few new ships in The Phantom Menace, but, then again... They were a bit more easily telegraphed then...), but whether or not the trailer is dubbed or subbed in French shouldn't have anything to do with noticing a ship.

    Is Harrison Ford getting younger? He looks a good 5 years younger than he did in Expendables 3.

    Yes he does. He looks amazing for a man who's... what, 80? If I look that good at 80, I'll actually find a God to pray to.

    No, it's the same as with Daniel Craig and every human being on this planet.

    They look younger with longer hair! That's it.

    Longer hair has not helped Tom Cruise.

    Dare I saw Cruise looks better in M:I:5 than he did in M:I:2. Part 2 was great fun, but Cruise looked like he escape the set of a Head & Shoulder shampoo commercial.

    I dunno, check out the trailers for Edge of Tomorrow (don't watch the movie), he looks like he gained twelve years between Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow.

    I admit Cruise looks visibly older but he doesn't look like a man in his 50's.

    In Edge of Tomorrow, Cruise was the same age as Sir Rog in FYEO. And Sir Rog in that film looks old enough to be Cruise's father.

    Looking good and again another great tease for us all.

    Like so many have said you can't but get emotional watching that, watched it first earlier this evening on the lap top and then more recently on my new 42" Ultra HD 4K TV.

    Definitely benefited from that, loving the visuals the star destroyer wreck in the desert and the flight sequences with the Falcon and the Tie Fighters. Some have complained that JJ was wrong for this because he's going to shove the nostalgia down our throats.

    I think they got the right man for the job for the first film, it needs that familiar feel to re-introduce it, it will be Rian Johnson's job to take off into a new direction.

    Some have been speculating that voice is Domnhall Gleeson's, sounds like Mark Hammil to me, just a tweak on his dialogue from Jedi.

    This is just behind SPECTRE as my must see for 2015, not actually been to the cinema this year yet, Jurassic World might be my first trip of 2015.

    It looks good. Harrison looks like he's enjoying himself. The visuals are amazing. It appears that this is going to be much better than the prequels. I haven't kept up on spoilers, a personal choice, so I'm not sure if they are insinuating that Luke is the villain here but I hope not. That's kind of the impression that I got from watching it.

    I also think that is Mark Hamill's voice. Love the trailer and the crashed Star Destroyer as well - and William's sweeping score adds to memories of the glorious original trilogy.

    That nostalgia will take this to the top in 2015 imho.

    The only thing that can spoil this for me is a cameo by Hayden Christensen - if we're spared that, this is going to be epic! Can't wait.

    My god. It's been said, I'm a much bigger Bond fan that SW, but I'd choose this over any movie coming out in the next few years. I can't believe how curious I am to see what these amazing characters have been up to for 30 years. Wow, I'm pumped!

    Vader's burnt mask after the cremation at the end of 'Jedi'...I'm curious to see the explanation for this-- I've heard snippets about a 'grave robber' character. But still, where did they dig HIM up I wonder? Will we be revisiting Endor maybe?

    It's absolutely his voice-- the only question is, is it new, or taken from ROTJ? That I can't quite tell for sure.

    Was that Luke's hand on R2-D2-- with the cybernetic hand?

    Oh well.. Do I really have to explain why a 9yo who does not understand a word of what's being said is not really going to look at everything very closely ? I explained he hasn't even watch really the SW movies yet, I was just telling it was funny there are some kids out there who know SW thanks mosly to Lego.
    Font quand même marrer tous ces mecs coincés dans une seule langue à savoir mieux que leur prochain ce que ça fait de regarder de la VO.

    If either of them is in it all I could do is laugh.
