    Someone else has probably come up with something like this, but could the new lightsaber being wielded in the teaser be for a specific purpose? He's out in those snowy woods at night for a reason, and maybe that reason requires a different type of weapon? What's he looking for? Maybe that's not his only or usual weapon, but instead the right tool for the job.

    Also, (not sure if it's been posted but) while not compelling evidence, the reflection of the light saber seems to suggest that the right glove is torn and the hand possibly metallic underneath.

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! WAAH! WAAAH! WAAH! WAAAH!

    It has only been a little over a week since the teaser release, but I want MORE! MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!

    Think about this: someone - even lots of people! - know what is going to happen in Star Wars, knowledge that will alter all our little geek lives forever. And THEY'RE NOT TELLING US!
    (epic fail)

    OK! Just had to get that outta my system! :D

    Anyone think that the raggedy cloak he's wearing could be Darth's?

    I'm fairly certain the cloak is the first thing that would have caught on fire when he was placed on the funeral pire

    Did you see the new trailer shown on Saturday Night live last night? What did you think of Luke's New Lightsaber? What About that Lando Scene with his wife?
    WOW.

    Holy cow. The way that video slows down the Falcon makes it looks very damn near like a model. I'd love if this movie was doing primarily motion control with some CGI enhancement.

    OT and PT sabers were for deflecting shots... this one looks like a heavier weapon designed to cut through armour in close combat

    If it is, it has wonderful flame resistant qualities...

    On second thought, just mark me as a NO

    I get the feeling when they start coming out with the behind the scenes features, we're going to be amazed at some of the traditional effects.

    Probably still a ton of CG though

    There's totally going to be a lot of CGI. The movie has about twice the budget of any one of the Prequels.

    Darth? Darth who? lol i guess Darth and Vader are kind of synonymous, but i always think it's funny when Vader is called simply "Darth". that scene in ANH when Obi-Wan calls Vader "Darth" always seemed weird to me...

    what armor are you thinking this thing will be cutting into? from what i can tell the older light sabers did a pretty good job of cutting through robots and reinforced metal doors, not to mention whatever armor Vader may have been wearing (oops, there goes his hand!), and whatever armor the clone troopers were wearing, too. in general i've always felt the armor in the Star Wars universe was particularly bad: storm troopers dropping with one shot being a good example. do you reckon there'll be new armor for close range saber combat? maybe the storm trooper design change was functional as well as fashionable! :p

    Here's my view on the teaser trailer:
    I like it a lot. I like the urgency permeating the entire thing, and it does look like it will be a rather dark film (which would be great, although the teaser don't necessarily offer a representative look of what SW7 will be like). I like all of the scenes, simple and enticing without really giving anything away. The new actors look very much at home, and the new Stormtroopers look very badass (I hope they turn out as dangerous as they look). Sets and effects and props all look good. One thing I am a little bit concerned about is how light and nimble the Millennium Falcon looks. I was under the impression that the SW7 production would rely on old-school models more than CGI, but that one is obviously at least partially CGI. In and off itself it is not a problem, but it does look like a much more spry Falcon than the one we had in the OT, which is only a problem for continuity really, and if they explain it there should be no problem. Perhaps Han Solo finally came into some money and had 'her' fixed up :)

    All in all, I am very optimistic about SW7 (in fact, I am a lot more optimistic than what I would like to allow myself to be, feeling it is always better to keep one's expectations low). If this movie turns out to be a big pile of bantha poo, I will most likely break into tears...

    Technically we never saw the falcon participating in dogfight maneuvers in atmo. You'd have to think it would behave differently in atmosphere and gravity than it would in space.

    We see it do some flight maneuvering in the clouds above Bespin, not no proper dogfight no. Still, to me the CGI model looks considerably less heavy than the old Falcon.

    I had the same fears about the Falcon's agility, too, Angelman. I think the crazy camera moves have more to do with why the Falcon looks ridiculously nimble. Have you seen the stabilized Falcon footage from the trailer?

    It helped me see that the camera is really the one doing all the dizzying acrobatics.
