    reminds me of Metropolis for some reason

    which reminds me... seeing as how we're getting many more women in the films... what about some equal representation for feminine looking droids!

    That's the wagon speeder chase sequence. Its Rey driving it. Its also the same speeder she drives Finn in with BB-8 when Finn is injured.

    I have over A LOT of pieces of concept around the wagon speeder and the quad speeder. I am in the informant as I have the source material. I have hundreds of pieces from The Force Awakens.

    As a matter of fact, today I received the end of the chase sequence. I'll have the information up very soon.

    If you're into being spoiled, you might want to read my site in conjunction with this one. I think we go together like wine and cheese.

    Pete Peeve: Mystery Box refers to the way a story unfolds. A New Hope is a mystery box as we enter the film and it slowly unfolds for us. Abrams just likes security and secrecy but that's when he was making films no one cared about in comparison to Star Wars and he wasn't dealing with three corporations, foreign crews with no loyalty to him, and MakingStarWars.net :)

    but your getting your "source material" from somewhere unless your working directly with the film somehow...im not into spoilers per say but i do like speculation. im one of those guys that picks things apart so again forgive me for being a skeptic. just trying to put the pieces together and figure out where you get your information. :)

    I'm not in the a** kissing business. But I AM going to say this.
    I've been following MakingStarWars and EpVIINews on a daily basis for the past year. Both work great (fine wine and cheese!). I must admit that I have always payed a little more attention to MSW.net as most of what Jason and his team have written and discussed on their podcast turned out to be absolutely true. The teaser trailer description was SPOT ON.
    Whilst I understand it CAN be a little bothering not to see all the concept art they have, do keep in mind that they have always respected their sources–which is cool by my books. Those drawling don't belong to them, they're someone else's. Jason and his crew cannot decide when or where to publish them, respecting a source is sacred.

    All in all, I think both EpVIINews and MakingStarWars are doing absolutely great. I thoroughly enjoy reading through their website everyday!

    Back to the speeders. I forget who, but the pod-racer connection was pretty neat, considering we saw some engines in the trailer. Could podracing parts now be used by scavengers for their transportation?

    I think Tatooine, thanks to the PT, if it is the location, was done right. Now here me out here. Episode 1 we saw podracing and Watto and junkyards, but decent conditions for civilized aliens and the Chose one to be born. By Episode 3, and TCW, things seem to be down, and the Owen Lars of PT is cranky and doesn't want Luke to leave in Episode 4, where the place now is just smugglers and cheap people, with Jabba now fully controlling his crime Empire and the Empire restricting any entertainment. This is the same in Episode 6, where we actually see the true crime and villainy of Jabba, which finally gets destroyed. But without the Empire patrolling, and even without Jabba, the place could just have gone crazy. So 30 years one, people who live here have changed -now they're just scavengers and pirates.

    But that ship inside of it? That looks really sleek and very well made. Maybe the place is a good place to hind something that good from the crime of the world.

    The Phantom Menace made such a big deal out of the podracing/hover vehicles that it'll need to be brought into the sequels in some capacity to feel like canon to all fans

    Mad Max is one of the first things that came to my mind when I saw the concept art leak and heard of the circumstances around Rey&Finn's first encounter.
