Star Wars: The Force Awakens full trailer will premiere on MNF (10/19) (2 Viewers)

[V Chip]

never watch episode 1.

I watch 1 for Maul. That was a wasted opportunity for awesomeness right there.

 

[billinms]

The beginning of 1 was good, the end of 3 was good. Everything in between was meh.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I didn't watch the trailer and I don't plan to or any others (frankly I shouldn't have watched the 1st 2, didn't have the will power to resist)

I want to go into this movie as blank slate and fresh as possible.

Trailers won't make me any more hyped than I already am

You young-uns. The "Episode IV" and "A New Hope" were not part of the original scroll. It was added later.

*Edit* Did you change the picture to the Empire Strikes back?

Say what you want. If you want to acknowledge the awful prequels, have at it. I will live in a world with only 3 Star Wars movies at this time, and no fourth Indiana Jones movie. Life is better this way.

Yes, IV and A New Hope were added in 1981, for the first theatrical re-release, after Empire came out. (I always had it pictured as Empire earlier, btw).

All the other movies had the Episode V, or VI, and the subtitle in the originals.

That's recent enough to count. It wasn't something added to the late 1990's re-re-release.

Having said that, I do not mean to put the "prequels" on any sort of level playing field. They are optional. To be honest, I don't even own episode I, and I own all the others.

 

[Sandman]

Nope.

 

[Saint_Ward]

Nope.

I'd advise us to settle. We're spending too much time arguing a nuance.

The reality is the movies with Luke are better.

Movies 1-3...yes, we agree.

1st-3rd or IV-VI.

I can't figure out if you're referring to the original trilogy or the prequels - but either way you're wrong.

I'm referring to the prequels. If I were referring to the originals I'd have said IV and VI, as God intended.

And I'm usually wrong, but not this time.

I just want to know where Luke is in this one.

You're wrong because the beginning of Episode I was pretty stupid. None of it makes any god damned sense. The end of III would have been far, far better if the final duel between Vader and Obi-Wan was more like the Duel At Ganryu Island and less "jumping on floating things over a river of lava for 30 minutes".

In fact, if Lucas had stuck to his roots of using Japanese Samurai films as his inspiration, then the Samurai trilogy would have been a perfect candidate to build the prequels on, with Obi-Wan taking the role of Musashi.

 

[GumboYaYa]

I just want to know where Luke is in this one.

I;m wondering if he's a main character in this one or if he'll just make an appearance at the end to tease the next movie.. Anybody know?

By beginning of one I meant Darth Maul, and Qui Jinn getting sliced in half, which was pretty awesome. By end of III I meant when Vader was told Padme was dead, although I thought the screams were a bit over dramatic.
