The fact that she doesn't know what that "spaceship" is called (a Star Destroyer) and doesn't call the ship in front an X-Wing Fighter right off the bat makes me not want to watch. :x

FOH, faking to be a nerd.

I just happened to watch the Roseanne roast yesterday where Carrie Fisher was on the dais. It's not saying much but today, she looked miles ahead of where she was back then

my guess is that she had an illness that required steroid therapy, making her all bloated & big boned looking
as it didn't look like normal weight gain
but that's a just a guess

The first trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens dropped on a largely unsuspecting populace in late November, reviving in us a long-dormant hope. Its bobbleheaded soccer-droids and Millennium Falcon S-turns and soul-stirring orchestral fanfares aroused feelings inside of us that served as a reminder that our childhoods were not, in fact, irretrievably broken by an obsessively tinkering, self-sabotaging creator who couldn’t leave things well enough alone, by a floppy-eared CGI abomination designed with the Toys R Us shelf in mind, by a treacherous bounty hunter shooting first. If it didn’t totally erase the memories of Hayden Christensen’s stilted, cry-faced pre-Vadering or Natalie Portman’s star-geisha wardrobe, it at least distracted us from them with a minute and 39 seconds of hints that George Lucas may have tossed the keys to the X-wing to people who might have some understanding of what we loved about the original trilogy. Maybe it took $4 billion of convincing, but whatever, the important thing is that the new people burned his six-film treatment for The Jar Jar Chronicles the moment the signature was on the contract.

Five long months later, a second trailer has finally arrived, debuting at today’s Celebration, a convocation of the Jedi-robed faithful, who were rewarded with the new footage we’ve all been craving since that fresh Bantha meat got tossed down the Rancor pit at the end of last year. Does the new footage deliver? Open a window wherever you are. That deafening moan you hear is a millions-strong fangasm originating from the greater Anaheim area and quickly washing over the entire Star Wars–loving universe, initiated by the Lucasfilm title card and subsiding two minutes later with the aged Han Solo’s postcoital exhalation of “Chewie, we’re home.”

But in the middle there’s a speeder racing across familiar desert terrain, in front of the ghostly husk of a felled Imperial Destroyer. There’s the unmistakable voice of Luke Skywalker explaining to an unseen listener, “The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. You have that power, too.” There’s the ruined mask of Darth Vader, a familiar bionic hand reaching out to pet a droid, and a lightsaber handoff that seems like it might be meaningful. Then there are the swarm of X-wings, hotshot pilot Poe Dameron screaming with glee, and the obligatory shot of the new Sith-y bad guy with the next-gen weapon every child in America will be swinging dangerously in the playgrounds next year. There’s the Falcon maneuvering in a tight space, because that reminds us of the other times it maneuvered in tight spaces. There are TIE Fighters blowing **** up, and our new pals Rey and Finn meeting space-cute. And then, finally, yeah, Han and Chewie, bringing us home. We’re done. Roll over and take a deep breath. We’ve all earned it. That’s a lot of feelings to plow through in two minutes. Ready to do it 30 or 40 more times today? Han’s old, but he’s ready to go again.

There’s only eight more months of this until the movie’s out. And we haven’t even seen Luke and Leia yet.

 

[CP1708]

who was he talking to when he said "you have that power too?" Is one of those main characters his children or something?

The girl is Luke's niece 

We don't know that for sure yet. We think she is, but not 100% sure. I'm leaning that way, but we can't be sure just yet.

 

[zoomin6]

The girl is Luke's niece 

Is this confirmed? Haven't read that anywhere..I think it's just speculation. Could be a Solo sibling for all we know.

Maybe they go searching for Luke so he can train her in the ways of the force, maybe more than one padawan?

Was very happy to see Han Solo again.

 

[sea manup]

 hope they dont show us luke till the movie

that robotic hand tho 

they found anakin's lightsaber that luke lost when his hand got chopped off 

not sure whats more unlikely, finding a lightsaber that fell off of cloud city or finding vaders helmet which was in the deathstar when it was destroyed 

 

[CP1708]

finding vaders helmet which was in the deathstar when it was destroyed

Negative.
