    New Star Wars trailer



    You know you're a nerd when you get a chub watching a squad of X Wings throwing up spray on a lake...

    I'm extremely skeptical. Hopeful, but skeptical.

    Not sure what is up with the black stormtrooper and why that would be thrown in without any context. Since all the clones were based on Jango Fet is this some dude that is in disguise. I have been trying to avoid any peeks at the movie so it is not ruined before I see it but with the internet it will be impossible to avoid. I will still probably watch it on opening night . It can't be any worse than the prequals

    Nah...probably just a continuity error.

    The Empire had a non-exclusive lease on the Death Star, probably a concession Stormtrooper

    He's a scab.

    Stormtroopers unionized and went on strike. They're demanding a living wage and safer working conditions.

    The Empire started a new cloning program when they realized that they were never going to win another galactic March Madness. #whitestormtroopercantjump

    I read a supernerd review of the trailer and they were hypothesizing that guy is some rebel and breaking away from the Empire army... so maybe they chose a black dude to drive that point home that he's not Jango Fet? Definitely didn't see it coming though.

    Really hoping there's a smoke monster in the new star wars film. And a hatch.

    The black kid is from the UK flick Attack The Block, which was a really great one actually.

    If the new movie doesn't automatically adhere to SW canon, which was never made clear to audiences of any of the movies, does that automatically mean it sucks?

    Seems like an awful lot of fucking nerds have an awful lot of rules laid out about how things should be (like the skin color of stormtroopers) that just wouldn't matter to people like me who loved the first three movies for what they were but never totally geeked out on all the arcana and backstory. I mean, all the Stormtroopers are clones? Every single one of them in the entire Empire? Not one black guy anywhere in the galaxy grew up thinking that a career in the Imperial armed forces might lead to a better future?

    Since JJ Abrams apparently didn't convene a focus group of Star Wars scholars to ensure everything he did fit within those rules, I'm going to guess he probably doesn't give a shit and just wants to make a fun movie.

    So, will this be a movie that people who haven't read every Star Wars comic and seen every episode of the various TV cartoons, and read every book can enjoy? And, does that mean every true fan who understands the rules will hate it?

    Sounds like Abrams can't win, unless this thing kills it at the box office in which case no one but other nerds will care what all the nerds have to say.

    Well said. I personally thought episodes 1-3 lost the human connect to the empire. 4-6 you believed that there was a person in the ST suit and even though they were evil they were people. That was lost with the clines and droid warriors.

    As for as black ST who do you think was flying the tie wing fighters? There were plenty of black suits in the empire.
