"Sorry to tell ya, but Obiwan is dead in these movies."
But he'll always be one of my favorite fictional characters, even if I haven't cared about the franchise he's from in years...
I like a little science fiction, and I like Merlin from the Arthurian legend, and I like Alec Guinness (far more than he himself liked this role.)
Put them together, boom, Space Merlin. :p
"harrison ford with long hair... oh my god."
Who said he has long hair in this?
"star trek 2 vibe"
Which Star Trek 2, the original, or the Abrams Trek 2 (which I still like more than others, I guess...I maintain that was a fun action-heavy Trek flick with a glimmer of a point trying to be made about terrorism/counter-terrorism, before the last half hour sunk into fan service of redoing TWOK shot for shot at points...I think they wanted to show fans they cared about continuity more than in the previous film, but it backfired in how they went about it, but I digress.)
"tri-saber? dafuq"
I keep hearing people talk about this Crusader blade-style lightsaber...and I don't get the real issue here--it's a Crusader's sword in space. How is that any more or less sensible than a samurai sword in space? I can see how that'd be a problem if you gripped too near the cross section, but as long as your hand isn't right up against the laser part...eh? *shrug* The only sword I ever owned/used was a French-handled fencing sword for recreational fencing and Shakespeare plays (THERE YOU GO, make a fencing lightsaber, with a shield for the protective cup around your hand, lol, prevent all those hand amputations! ;) ) so is that really an egregious error?
"liam neeson/quigon jin was the only good thing about the new 3"
I never cared for him much, actually, in that film--I thought Ewan McGregor was the best "main cast" member...he at least seemed credible as a young Alec Guiness. The more I think about it, though I haven't seen any in years, I think the reason I liked III best of the prequels is that it starts to "look" slightly closer to the originals...the clones look more like the stormtroopers, the Vader suit and Death Star outline is there at the end, etc.
Seems like everyone just wants the old, iconic elements back...
Which is why I've unashamedly seen that 7 second or so clip of the Millennium Falcon a good 20 times now. :p Don't care, THAT is cool to see, after decades of it not appearing...it's like when the new USS Enterprise was introduced in the 2009 Star Trek film. Whatever you think of that movie, it was just kind of nice to see the old Enterprise (albeit in an alternate timeline) back again...CGI and different looking, but still recognizable as something you loved when you were young and which kept you coming back.
The only thing I disliked in the trailer was the soccer ball droid. That looked like the Disney creeping out of things, it felt out of place tonally with the back-to-the-iconic-things vibe of the trailer.
And thus ends the longest post of mine on a trailer, lol...until Star Trek 3/13. ;)
