Makes me think Abrams understands what the fans loved about SW. If it wasn't for his poor performance with the ST reboots, I would be more enthusiastic.
No it's another guy. Folks on another forum were saying the person playing Wedge didn't want to be in this series. I personally thought it looked like the guy who found Han and Luke in Empire Strikes Back.
It also might have something to do with the fact he's a fanboy of Star Wars much more so than Star Trek.And I will say that the teaser was more entertaining than the totality of Eps 1-3.
Yes, please!
I think the modus operandi of this film is going to be to basically pretend eps 1-3 NEVER happened. I completely agree. Let's just wipe that mess from our memories...and the official cannon.
Good point!
Yes! LOL! See vid.
Actually, by the end of the Clone Wars the Republic was using other people as templates for the clones because the Kaminoans were stretching what little DNA was left of Jango after he was killed. Then, after Palpatine took over as emperor he abolished the clones altogether believing them to be more unreliable since they appeared to possess a fair amount of free will. He later ordered an attack on Kamino to destroy their facilities after the rebelled. So, Stormtroopers are actually regular human volunteers by the time we see them in A New Hope. In the EU (Expanded Universe), they were often depicted as the creme de la creme of the Imperial miliitary. In essance they are the airborne/marines of the Empire but are often portrayed as weekend warriors because people tend to forget the main heroes in the OT were protected by the best plot armor available. In A New Hope they storm through a small one way entry point that was heavily guarded and take the ship. In Empire Strikes Back they attack across open ground against a well dug in rebel army and overrun the base showing that they can do whatever the f*** they want. However in the last movie they lost because of cute cuddly teddy bears. I even remember wondering how the good guys were going to win that fight but they won due to stupid writing or... George Lucas (seriously, it should have gone as the battle in Avatar tbh). The more you know
Or lens flare. Oh wait!
Or the A-10 Warthog for that matter.
That was some interesting backstory I was unfamiliar with. But let's be honest: do you think any of that came up during the script writing process? I think it was more likely that the writers said "F#*@ it, we're forgetting all about Eps 1-3."Actually, by the end of the Clone Wars the Republic was using other people as templates for the clones because the Kaminoans were stretching what little DNA was left of Jango after he was killed.

I enjoyed it quite a bit.
@ 2:04, everyone's O face!
The authority on all things Star Wars has finally...er, weighed in!
