![]() These are things we didn’t know before, and I appreciate having that sense of in what order events will happen.ĭavid (Razor) Harris: It’s virtually hard for me to pick a favorite scene from the new international Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. Perhaps it’s Finn, or perhaps it coincidence, but the reason they leave the planet, rescued by the Falcon is that Captain Phasma leads a team of Storm Troopers to destroy it with flame throwers. She will then meet Finn at her stall in Jakku. Rey will meet BB-8 when she’s out raiding and “waiting” for her family. But when I was done watching it, I knew several things about the way the movie will open. No, it doesn’t, say, tell us anything about Han, or Leia, who Rey or Finn are, where Kylo Ren came from, where Luke is, or any of the big spoilers. But this trailer, fashioned for a Japanese audience, takes great pains to give us the story we’re going to see in the order we’re going to see it. Moreover, you can feel that it’s not in order, which leads to sites trying to reorder the trailers to get a sense of narrative flow. One of the thinks about all three US trailers that came out over the last year for the movie is that nothing is being presented in order. Instead what I liked about this trailer was how linear it was. 18.Īni Bundel: How great is it to wake up in the morning and discover that it’s like Christmas, and a brand new trailer full of footage has dropped? Now, I wouldn’t say i had a favorite shot per se, though I include one here. ![]() This trailer gave us plenty of breathtaking glimpses of dogfights and suns setting over planet landscapes, but it’s these emotionally charged, one-on-one shots like these that have me counting the days until Dec. ![]() Not only is it incredibly tense and well-composed, but it feeds perfectly into the rumors surrounding Rey and Kylo Ren’s (familial?) relationship that’s sure to be a focal point of the movie.Ĭould this be the first time that the two meet? You would think so judging by the terrified, surprised look on Rey’s face, but that’s also a pretty normal reaction to the realization that there’s a psychopathic Dark Side-user wielding a humming sword of death near your head. Maybe it’s just because I’m riding a euphoria wave triggered by an unexpected wave of new The Force Awakens clips, but by my count this is like the 15th fantastic teaser for this movie, and we still don’t even know what it’s about! I don’t think they give out Oscars to marketing teams, but they should consider creating a category for them after what Disney’s people have accomplished over the past few years.Įach trailer so far has achieved the delicate balancing act of keeping key plot elements just out of view while providing just enough snippets to make us hungry for more. Kyle Warnke: Is anyone else just a little mad that Japan got a better Star Wars trailer than we did? I know, it’s tough considering how stellar this latest one is. It makes me excited to see the movie as a whole and appreciate the creativity and skill that goes into making every Star Wars movie. It’s an impressively artistic shot, beautifully rendered. What’s interesting about this shot is how it juxtaposes the beauty of the sunset (or sunrise) with the harshness associated with TIE fighters. TIE fighters, black against the sun’s golden glow, are traveling to… where? Are they mustering for an attack run, or are they returning to their base? Is this planet Starkiller Base, or Jakku, or Endor, or someplace completely different? It’s difficult to tell, because even though we can see there are mountains, there’s no way to determine whether the climate of the planet is a desert or arctic or temperate forest. The cloud-streaked sun is rising or setting over what looks like a mountainous landscape. And there’s one new shot in particular in the international The Force Awakens trailer that is literally bright with the light of what looks like an evening or morning sun. Our Jedi Council discusses our favorite scenes.Įlaine Tveit: There’s nothing like a surprise trailer full of gorgeous new shots to brighten up your day. Just when we thought there would be no new footage shown before the worldwide premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, an all new international trailer dropped on Friday, and we were gifted with loads of new scenes from the film. ![]() By David Harris (Razor) 7 years ago Follow Tweet
