The Serkis character

I don't think that's the Serkis character.

I'm secretly hoping the desert planet is Endor.

It's a planet named Jakku

 

[Doublesith]

JJ confirms that Greg Grunberg is in the movie.

 

[Eggbok]

I kind of know some of the plot points for epi 7, so yeah someone took it. Don't know where they found them tho.

Are we sure thats vader's saber? That peice would be much harder to find since it went down into the death star when luke cut it off.

The lightsaber being handed to Leia is certainly the one Luke was using in Empire Strikes Back. When Vader cut his hand off it fell down to some place unknown. It wasn't the Deathstar either though it was on Bespin in Cloud City.

 

[JediMasterMatt]

oh, there's no doubt

Spoiler

probably Solo. why else wouldn't they reveal the character's last name?

Spoiler

It would also help if everyone would stop calling her by her middle name - Rey. People aren't calling her brother Ren.

 

[Doublesith]

Kathy Kennedy on the livestream right now.

 

[inm8num2]

I laughed earlier during the main panel when JJ told R2 and BB-8 to shut the hell up.

 

[XAL]

Has anyone noticed that the villian's voice from the first teaser trailer is reading Luke's lines in this trailer?....like lower in the audio mix?...

 

[munchie64]

Ian Mcdiarmid interview now. I love that guy!

 

[Bobby Roberts]

How's the stream been, for anyone still following along? I shut it off right after the trailer (had to get back to work) but I heard some... okayish things about it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Is there an archive of the panel before the trailer at all? With John and Daisy?

 

[Kadin]

OMG that reading Ian McDiarmid just did. HOLY SHIT that was perfect.

 

[Eggbok]

HOLY SHIT @ Ian McDiarmid reading in the Emperors voice. I got chills...

 

[munchie64]

Holy shit, Mcdiarmid just read a line from Shakespeare's Star Wars. That was amazing.

 

[Prompto]

Just click the livestream link in the OP and skip to around 40 minutes in. Its the archive of the panel.

It's been okay. JJ and Kennedy dropped by. Devin Faraci, Bryan Young, Eric Vespe and Peter Sciretta doing a shot-by-shot breakdown of the teaser was both WTF and pretty good!

 

[Master Yoshi]

Why are audience questions always so cringeworthy? So bad! This guy just did a horrible Palpatine/Yoda impression to Ian Mcdiarmid.. Awful. And they keep asking him ridiculous speculative questions...


Some guy just asked if he could HAVE the Star Wars Shakespeare book that they just read from on stage. What's wrong with these people? Worse than watching Minecon q&a!

People literally don't think about how they're going to look in front of thousands of people in-person and online. It's shocking.

But i'll give him kudos for doing it as best as he thought he could.

True, he tried. I just.. I don't think I'd want to try and flatter an actor by doing an impression of them to their face... I would do as the last man did. I'd thank them for being there and say some kind words.

 

[Kadin]

uhhh... what's going on with the cross-talk audio??

edit: yay it's fixed. That was... odd

 

[Eggbok]

Someone has broken the audio wtf.

 

[JimJamJones]

The Serkis character

Looks like an Imperial (New Order) officer. Dominic Gleeson, maybe?

 

[Kadin]

I could listen to him talk all day. What a great guy. Now to see what's worth watching next...

 

[BlueDogAnchorite]

I also watched the OT first as a child and got into Star Wars because of it.

I'm saying that there are people younger than us who grew up on the PT and The Clone Wars and their fandom shouldn't be questioned just because they like what you don't.

I agree with you there. I am looking forward to the new movies, but just the insulting way they treated fans of the Prequels and The Clone Wars left a really BAD taste in the mouth for me.

 

[Eggbok]

Someone recorded Ian, the Emperor himself reading Star Wars Shakespeare.
Hope they upload the direct feed footage on the Star Wars channel.

Nice. Yeah that whole interview needs to be uploaded asap. Good stuff (mostly).

 

[TheMan]

is there footage of the crowd reaction to the second teaser?

Sure is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxN57J14pr4 someone posted it in the thread, don't remember who though.

Oh shit, Bryan was on-stream and I missed him? I'm gonna catch shit for that on the next show.

 

[Doublesith]

He even brought up his current obsession with the Naberries! Hopefully this is all archived somewhere.

 

[TheMan]

thanks!

hearing the crowd get into makes the trailer much more enjoyable. I wish i could find a decent crowd reaction to the first trailer too.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Sure is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxN57J14pr4 someone posted it in the thread, don't remember who though.

I think I get more emotional watching that then watching the trailer by myself.

The archive for today is up. 7 hours!

Bryan's segment starts at about 1:37:40 in.

This is a little off topic on the streams, but figured the audience here would be mildly interested. If you follow Star Wars EP VII rumors, you've probably visited Making Star Wars.net. I encourage you to give the link below a read.

I didn't realize there was so much hate going around in the Star Wars community. Can't we just all get along? That trailer right!?!!!!

I've been reading this right now still, and that hate is vicious my god.

Tears.

Was in the Force Awakens exhibition on the second level earlier. Kylo Ren's suit looks so good up close and in person.

Can you take pics there? If so share some!

 

[Malfunky]

Yeah, they had no problem with it. You could even touch some of the prop costumes if you were sneaky enough. My friends and I took some shitty pictures, but there are a ton of better ones all over. Here's the stuff we saw. Needless to say, spoilers to whatever degree you think props may be.

Yesss direct feed of Ian reading Star Wars Shakespeare in the Emperor's voice. The echoing makes it even more badass.

 

[Rootbeer]

Who's up for another day of livestreams! If you check out the last few minutes of yesterday's stream (archives linked several times above) they mention all the things that will be on today's stream.

supposedly they will be streaming the battlefront panel?

This is a little off topic on the streams, but figured the audience here would be mildly interested. [SNIP]

It was interesting... if it's true. The drama is too real for me. I was curious some of the backstory to making star wars though, now I have a much clearer idea of how they came about. Some shady business there, if they are being honest about some of the things being said... those screenshots are pretty damning though. Not sure I like this Jason fellow.

The fact they decided to dump all this yesterday of all days just shows how overflowing the salt must be.

 

[strafer]

Does anyone have a link to the schedule, it's not in the OP.

 

[Cheebo]

Any idea what time Day 2 stream starts?

 

[Rootbeer]

Info on Day 2 stream. Battlefront should be up first. Steam starts at around 10am, Battlefront panel starts at 10:30AM according to the schedule

https://youtu.be/SBx5OqAWeW0?t=25256

Does anyone have a link to the schedule, it's not in the OP.

Here is the Friday "Schedule" but it won't necessarily all be livestreamed

http://starwars15.mapyourshow.com/6...e&srch-query=2015-04-17&srch-showresults=true

 

[strafer]

That Battlefront panel should be interesting.

 

[Rootbeer]

if they end up streaming all of the things they mentioned in that clip... well, i'm impressed with their coverage. if they had made this a paid online event I probably would have paid

Hey, blizzard does it for blizzcon

Would be nice if they did this every year for free though.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Nice GAF mention in there

Hey, I got pardoned! Nice.

I was a pretty big dipshit back then.

(I'm a little less so now, I hope.)

 

[Rootbeer]

Here is the Jimmy Kimmel bit they did at Celebration

[Oshimai]

Does anyone know if this will be livestreamed?
