[Fix The Scientist]

Looks like he did in Ender's Game.

At this point I can't see anything but Harrison the actor in that photo if it's authentic. The bored, saggy face isn't helping :/

Ford's "miserable grump" screen presence is one of my biggest concerns with this movie, i hate to say it but unless abrams can somehow get some of that old magic out of him i think the sooner han dies the better. Although he was actually ok in crystal skull which gives me some hope.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Btw, this new on Apple site?

Been there since yesterday.

 

[Expendable.]

Been there since yesterday.

Nice, internet was shut down cause of the storm here for 30 hours. Finally back, just in time.

Also, there is a way to guess the URL of some Apple files before they launch. I assume Star Wars will have a special one with different characters, but it's worth a try. Per the normal URLs, it'll be some variation of the below:

http://movietrailers.apple.com/movi...awakens/starwarstheforceawakens-tlr1_720p.mov

disney could be lucasfilm, not sure yet. Could be tsr instead of tlr, too.

Yeah, I think people have been trying various combinations of Disney, Lucasfilm, etc. Not that it did anyone any good, of course. The Marvel movies apparently have their own weird designation depending on which trailer you look at. I dunno.

I figure someone's going to have the direct 1080p link within 5 minutes of it going live, anyway, and then I'll just click that

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I am fully prepared to lose my god damn mind.

 

[bananafactory]

I refuse to belive it's going up tonight so I don't get let down.

But I will stay up just in case....

 

[Sesuadra]

3AM EST is 9AM in germany..and that's when my grammar class starts. DAMN YOU DISNEY.

 

[MattyG]

Well, there's no way I can keep myself awake until 3. I'll see you fine folks at 10.

GET FUCKIN' HYPED.

 

[Robot Pants]

Yeah. Dude sucks movies dry now.

Agreed

 

[B.K.]

I've got to get up at 7:00 tomorrow for work, but if the teaser is coming tonight, I'll stay up for it.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Slightly disagree. While the movie was terrible, you could tell he CARED again in Crystal Skull. Hoping for that same twinkle in his eye/slightly smaller amount of apathy in this.

 

[Sectorseven]

Maybe Chewie will have a caddle prod behind him when he goes monotone.

Don't count on it. He has Alec Guinness levels of hate for Star Wars and the fans. He's obviously only in it for the paycheck.

 

[Chezzymann]

Well, I'm going to sleep. Not gonna stay up for it. In just a little while we will be in a world where there is new star wars footage for the first time in 10 years. So cool. It better be good.

Not trying to sea lion you by any means, but do you happen to have a link? I had no idea, and that's pretty disappointing.

 

[?oe?oe]

Wait, how many hours left?

 

[bananafactory]

Wait, how many hours left?

Maybe 2.

Maybe 9.

No one knows.

 

[Mariolee]

Eh? I never got that from him. Hell, he's even done that Chewy bit on Kimmel. Alec Guinness would have never done that.

 

[Sesuadra]

Not the person posted that. but the only thing I know is that he still does not really get the star wars hype and that he wanted Han Solo dead in the last movie.

He had good narrative reasons to want to kill off Solo.

 

[bananafactory]

Lol this guy responded to me

@jeffmeier87
@Luceobrien FYI @MakingStarWars says someone from Lucasfilm told him it would hit at midnight pacific tonight. Not sure if that's true.

‏@MakingStarWars
@jeffmeier87 @Luceobrien That's what they believed to be the case.

https://twitter.com/MakingStarWars/status/538216050098069505

"Believed to be the case" doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

We are so not getting a trailer tonight =(

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Yeah, to me that sounds like good old curmudgeonly Harrison Ford. "I don't get why nerds love this so much, but ok sure."

Plus I agree with the poster above me. Han dying in Jedi would have made a lot of sense. Ugh, that link not only reminded me of Lucas fighting against "I know", but the proposed ending of Jedi which would have been so great.

 

[Sectorseven]

If you watch some of his interviews from when the OT premiered, he made it pretty clear that he wasn't into sci-fi up to that point. He said Star Wars was a really different take on the genre which is what peaked his interest. Of course, I'm sure it being one of his first opportunities at a leading role helped sway him. But from what I've seen I never recall him outright disliking it.

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Some people are saying it will be tomorrow at 10:00am est. Although Jason has been reliable. Maybe when they say 10:00am that could mean when the theaters will start airing it. Itunes could be sooner but i doubt that.

 

[Erevador]

Alec Guiness was always great in those films, he's a professional, like Ford.

Also, Ford LOVES J.J. Abrams. He sounded genuinely thrilled to be working with him, he's loved Abrams since they worked together on Regarding Henry. I think he'll surprise people. Ford is great when he likes the director and is engaged.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

He doesn't.

Probably he loathed it for a while in the past, but he has fully embraced it now.

Well, we got the Star Trek:ID trailer at 12am PST back in 2012 so I have hope. Otherwise, at least I can now completely focus on working on my research paper for tonight.

 

[Bucket Mouse]

They should just use the vanilla bombastic Star Wars tune as the trailer music. That would be hype.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

How many hours remaining until Midnight Pacific?

 

[Delta Assault]

How many hours remaining until Midnight Pacific?

1

 

[enzo_gt]

How many hours remaining until Midnight Pacific?

Just over 1.

 

[Welfare]

This thing airs in an HOUR?!

WHOOO

 

[sprsk]

How many hours remaining until Midnight Pacific?

1 hour.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

1 hour.

Oh shit :O Oh my god

 

[BocoDragon]

My poor ass is up doing a web project due tomorrow... so I already have an excuse to stay up and see if the trailer is up at midnight

Spoiler

it won't be. Adjust your hopes and dreams, kids.

 

[BluePigGanon]

Shit I was here in AZ refreshing like a madman until I remembered PST is an hour different now (sometimes we're the same as CA, sometimes not).

 

[MBison]

I assume it's just speculation that it'll hit at 3 am est?

I mean if it was for sure I'd wait up but ugh I just know it won't be there if I stay awake

 

[Snaku]

Don't know if I should stay up an hour, or just go to bed and watch it in the morning. I'm so tired.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Damn, so excited :O I thought it would release in the afternoon or something

 

[OricWindstar]

Don't know if I should stay up an hour, or just go to bed and watch it in the morning. I'm so tired.

I would just trust your feelings on the matter.

Yeah, you guys and you hatred of saving daylight or something of that nature. Crazy people.

...Nah I feel ya man, I lived there for 3 years. It's annoying.

 

[ACESmkII]

This teaser is going to break the internet.

 

[Apt101]

I admit I got chills when I saw Hamill in the robes.

 

[bananafactory]

Search your feelings.

You know it to be true.

I admit I got chills when I saw Hamill in the robes.

Is there pictures of Hamill in costume?? How did I miss that?

 

[BluePigGanon]

Yeah, you guys and you hatred of saving daylight or something of that nature. Crazy people.

Yeah, pros and cons. On one hand we never have to adjust our clocks. On the other, if you've got friends anywhere else in the country the time difference between you and them is impossible to remember haha.

 

[bananafactory]

Jason Ward just posted an apparent line and scene from the movie

Take it with a grain of salt (and spoilers I guess)

Spoiler

I've had this line saved for a little while now. The source just gave me permission to run it. While we’re bored waiting for the teaser, lets have some fun. The source remembered this line from something they saw we can’t talk about.

John Boyega’s character is attempting to rescue Daisy Ridley’s character because Ridley finds herself captured by the new bad guy. The Chrome Stormtroopers bring Ridely’s character to their master. The master? Adam Driver’s character in his “Darth Revan” style mask. He addresses her by name and she replies:

"You’ll never be as powerful as Darth Vader!"

The line is cutting to the power hungry monster and she’s taken away. The sequence is supposedly very reminiscent to Princess Leia being imprisoned by Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin where she trash talks their foul stench. Don’t worry, a fight breaks out sometime later to free her and she can fight for herself, she just needed a little help from her friend.

http://makingstarwars.net/2014/11/teaser-wait-star-wars-force-awakens-line-film/

EDIT: After re-reading the first sentence, it seems like it's not indicated if that scene is actually in the teaser or not. Just that it exists.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Holy hell, it's supposed to show in less than an hour?

Dammit, I should get some sleep, it's the east coast for me so it's already passed 2am, but the Force is way too strong for me to sleep now!

Fits with the rumors that

Spoiler

Driver is the "Grave Robber"/"Dark Knight". I guess some concept art had him as a cyborg but they decided to go with the Revan-style armor instead, unless he's a cyborg who also wears battle armor. Anyway, the rumor had been that he's a Sith artifact collector (I think MSW said he has Vader, Revan, and Bane's helmets?) and possibly Han and Leia's son, obsessed with Vader/his grandfather.

 

[bananafactory]

What's makingstarwars's track record like?

I personally don't trust them at all, seems like made up dribble to me.

But someone here said that some of the few leaks we've had so far have come through that site. So if that's true then they at least must have some sort of connection.
