Personally, I'm getting tired of CGI. No matter how good it gets there is just something with real actors and models that CGI cannot replicate. CGI backgrounds are fine, but not characters or objects. Like in the Hobbit, the Pale Orc looks good, buy compared to the orcs that are guys in costumes he just looks fake. The model ships in the original triology lok a million times better than the CGI stuff in the trailer. Um, the ships(most like the falcon, x wings and speeders) and storm trooper costumes are real in this film. JJ made life sized replicas to capture the feel of the originals. Of course the backgrounds are CGI as are the droids and other stuff, but all in all the CGI is greatly reduced from what we have been seeing. The background in the desert scenes with the beach ball droid and speeder are life-sized sets they built in the desert. There are pictures all over the internet of them. There are also set pictures of numerous X-wings and the Falcon at some sort of base. Those pics are photoshopped. Bullshit. The pictures were leaked months ago. The fenced in compound with the big gate and ship parts everywhere can be seen behind the rolling droid and in the background of the speeder scene. There is a lot more that wasn't shown in the trailer. Thank god they didn't show the giant pig creature in the trailer.

Settle down, I was just kidding. 
I am thinking that they will be using more CGI than they're letting on, though. I seem to remember them saying that Indiana Jones was going to be done using minimal CGI...look how that turned out. |

Yeah pomell/handguard fail. I did like the 'rougher' appearance of the blade itself though. I dunno why everyone is flying 3 feet off the ground, but dramatic footage, I guess. I'm also kind of curious how it's been 30 years, but the ships look the same. (I mean, YES! The ships look the SAME!) but at the same time....did technology stop developing when the Emperor died? I am going with the rebels are still the underdog and have to keep a literal low profile and have to maintain a now ancient fleet of starfighters to fight the new Empire/Alliance/Jedi Order. I did note the Falcon has a different radar dish after the old one got knocked off at Endor...and yeah, that scene along with the stormtroopers in the assault ship and the TIEs Howling scream suddenly turned the calendar back to '77 for me! Beachball droid better not be the New JarJar. I also realized this means I have One Year to build my TIE Fighter Pilot suit for the premier! The X-wings look different. & the Millenium Falcon was already supposed to be a thousand years old in the originals. |

I know that the Empire shut down the Clone program after the War was won and began accepting conscripts from worlds within the Empire. Which is also why you have Imperial Officers and Commandos who look nothing alike. I have lots of hope for this movie. |

The appearance of a black Stormtrooper in the first trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, caused quite a stir on social media over the weekend. And the actor at the centre of the controversy, John Boyega, appeared to subtly address the situation on Saturday. 'To whom it may concern... Get used to it,' the 22-year-old Brit wrote cryptically in an Instagram post http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2855363/Star-Wars-actor-John-Boyega-responds-black-Stormtrooper-controversy-new-teaser-unveiled.html |
