It was pretty obvious that this was going to be an unoriginal cash in from the moment that the rebels were still the rebels and the empire was the empire 2.0.

All right--I really appreciate that Han Solo is one of the smaller faces on the poster.

But that kinda brings to question how big of roles the original cast is going to have.

Ok is it just me or does the villains mask look like something one of the Disney executives kids drew exceedingly poorly with like crayons and markers?

Luke is definitely going to be the big reveal during the movie, they're not going to show him in the promotional material.

The Death Star-esque thing is Starkiller base. It's a planet that has been hollowed out around the equator.
Given that the First Order is supposed to be a radical splinter group modellig themselves after the Empire, I doubt they have the resources to accomplish such a feat. This makes me think that the superweapon may in fact be a lot older than the First Order. It's possible it's some relic from the KotOR era.

It's possible. While KoTOR itself isn't currently stated to be canon it's likely they'll bring back elements of it into canon. Plus in an unreleased (but canon) episode of TCW Yoda alludes to a bunch of superweapons being built thousands of years before the Clone Wars, so it's very possible that's the origin of the weapon, and the First Order simply found it.

It's "Starkiller Base." See my reply to Big Boss in this thread.

Honestly I'm disappointed that they're going with another superweapon but it won't ruin the movie for me. As long as it has a decent story, good acting, and captures the Star Wars feel then I'm good.

Nonetheless I am somewhat miffed they went that route. In the eyes of myself and many others the best Star Wars movie is The Empire Strikes Back, which doesn't have a superweapon as part of the story.

Sandtrap · October 18, 2015, 02:36:40 PM

Actually, the surface of that thing looks different. Like they cut a planet in half and stuck a weapon inside of it.

MyNameIsCharlie · October 18, 2015, 02:49:10 PM

...

I'm worried.

The prequels focused on flashy lightsaber fights and over the top CGI battles instead of plot or character development. I had hopes that they wouldn't do that again

Jono · October 18, 2015, 02:49:17 PM

Can you believe that the movie comes out in just 2 months?

It feels like yesterday when they released the first teaser trailer.

I wouldn't be worried. I think Abrams and the people working on the film know very well the problems of the prequels. I think Abrams knows what makes the OT great.

Verbatim · October 18, 2015, 02:56:58 PM

I still hope people are upset with it.

A lot of people say it's not canon. Well they are right, but it doesn't mean they can use something from it (thus making it canon again), which is basically my point when discussing it.
