DrXann Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It might be the ice world.I still wonder if the Alliance/Resistance still use Mon Calamari MC80s winged and wingless or do they use an entirely different type of MC80 class cruisers.Since we need a large scale space battle toward the end of the movie.

NumberWan Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 @ Actually they have already been two more characters with Oriental appearance. Sei Taria was the aide of Chancellor Valorum in Episode I (she was removed from office later and replaced with the exotic Sly Moore) Bana Breemu is the second character, a senator from Episode III, but the scene with her was deleted. KOTOR2 introduced Serocco, a planet represented by the clan on Nar Shaddaa. TCW series also showed Carlac, another location with Oriental motives. Link to comment

NumberWan Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We can now see not just white troopers, but also officers and commandos in the shot. The so-much-discussed weapon must be there somewhere. Video available here as well - https://youtu.be/M-VTdsCKLgg Link to comment

z3filus Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think @@Barricade24 was onto something with the Shadow Stormtrooper. Looks like they may actually be in the movie after all. or not since there are lots of tie-fighters on the background. Logical explanation would be pilots, who are also dressed in black from toes to head.there are also a great number of black suited officers in the screencapture, so it's absolutely too hasty to spread rumours of shadowtroopers appearing in SW7 I'm confused about the security of that villain who seems to be inspecting the fleet, only 3 other dark dressed characters stand by the SilverTrooper(phasma) + Two flametroopers?I'm used to seeing some heavy protection on the Emperors side, an entire wave of red dressed Royal Guards surrounded him where ever he went. I miss that sight from OT.So maybe there's more to be told about the 3 mysterious characters next to the Phasma, they are also wearing capes so it hints that they are Royal or Political characters, yes?

DrXann Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is that a walker or a turret? Nevermind its two walkers next to a turbolaser turret.Just look at the AT-AT style legs. Link to comment
NumberWan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 @@DrXann Some suggest, those are indeed the new generation AT-ATs, though the real name must be different. @ I also expect the newer version of royal guards to appear. Perhaps seeing a McQuarrie's concept art would be in order, as they are using old concepts for newer elements in Star Wars. We can't see them in this shot anyways, because they are more likely to accompany Supreme Leader Snoke, who is obviously absent in the scene (and perhaps is unknown to many others). Link to comment
z3filus Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 According to SWU, another character is now revealed - General Hux, which serves the Empire (First Order). could the person standing before the fleet be this guy? It would make sense that Phasma would act as a guard for him. Link to comment

NumberWan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 @ Hmmm. That article is quite interesting. I guess people will still be disappointed with one of the explanations, the one being the most debated. However I like the idea of Ren. Is it possible, that this is another title from the long past? It might have been thousands of years since the ancient Sith, and Darth and Dark Lord might have been the most notable and known ones, including the Jedi in the Old Republic (Episode I). What if Ren is something/somebody, who existed in the past and were related to the Force. Maybe these were a group, that followed the presumed destruction of the Sith (like 1000 years prior), claiming themselves to be the keepers of the Sith traditions. As they believed the Sith to be extinct, they might have tried to preserve the legacy, but were ultimately forgotten by larger Galaxy. Now that the Galactic Empire fell and the Sith vanished again, what if the Knights of Ren are the new followers, re-emerged with the same event - the presumed destruction of the Emperor and Vader? It's a speculation of course. I am so eager to learn more. therfiles and z3filus like this Link to comment

It's a speculation of course. I am so eager to learn more.Knights of the Ren remind me of the Cultists in Jedi Academy. And come to think of it, the cultists in JA also had a leader who worshipped Vader, (cried after Desann)and Tavion even relied her masterplan on one single object; a sith articfact, a spear, so that she could resurrect the infamous Dark Lord; Marka Ragnos. Mindblown http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Knights_of_Ren the page clearly says that KoR was fromed after the Battle of Endor, which again, sounds a lot like the Cultists. So as @ pointed out, the lightsaber is built by Kylo, and JJ Abrams supposedly said that Kylo, " much like the saber, is still a work in progress. "this could mean that it's still unclear how the story evolves from here, but also, that the saber itself is incomplete.. oh god I hate the mystery surrounding the production of this movie.

hleV Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Good. Now with ancient saber theories out of the way, people can get back to reality. Crossguard saber is stupid and there's no proper reasoning for that. z3filus likes this Link to comment
Tempust85 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm sure there is a reason that his saber is cobbled together rather than made decently. Maybe Kylo was trying to get Anakin's saber and failed, so he had to make his own and could only use non-standard parts? As to why it's a crossguard and not just a standard one, could be some symbol thing for the Knights of Ren. Link to comment
NumberWan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 @ Interesting comparison, but I have to disagree: the cultists don't seem to have worshipped Vader. We can see Vader's statue crushed to shards. However, I am not sure it's cultists' doing. @@hleV Perhaps Kylo is amateurish in his Force training (if any), so is the clumsy cross saber, which is far from Jedi/Sith elegant designs.

hleV Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 You're seriously implying that it's easier to create a crossguard saber than a normal one? Sure, the saber does seem like it's made by an amateur, but crossblades being a result of that? No way. Link to comment
