It is a good time to be a STAR WARS fan. We are only one week away from Star Wars Celebration and the release of the first full length trailer for STAR WARS: The Force Awakens. There are lots of rumors and speculation on the internet, the air is positively electric with excitement. Which leads to some very interesting developments. This week two sources that tend to be right on the money with their spoiler news have posted conflicting descriptions of the all new trailer, but which one is right? The first one comes from MAKING STAR WARS. According to their article these details are not in order and are simply a taste of what we will see on April 16th.
- The run time is just under 2 minutes, about 1:50 seconds.
- Han Solo, Princess Leia, R2-D2 and C-3PO are all in there.
- The planet of Yavin appears.
- Finn (John Boyega) with a blue lightsaber.
- A brief shot of the chrome Stormtrooper, possibly named Captain Phasma, played by Gwendoline Christie.
- Kylo Ren’s face is revealed.
- Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) shoot down a TIE fighter.
- Finn and Poe walking past a TIE Fighter.
- Multiple shots of Rey (Daisy Ridley).
- A shot of Poe Dameron, R2-D2, C-3PO, and a CGI character that may be “Rose” played by Lupita Nyong’o
- BB-8 in the back of an X-Wing.
- Kylo Ren’s Imperial Shuttle flies with TIE Fighters to a Star Destroyer.
- More Star Destroyers.
- The Millennium Falcon.
- X-wing Fighters in a V formation.
- Darth Vader’s helmet sitting on a podium.
- No Andy Serkis.
- No Luke Skywalker.
The second trailer description comes from renowned film scooper Umberto Gonzalez from Latino Review. Umberto posted his description on his personal Instagram account and repeatedly warned that his detailed description was unconfirmed.
- The trailer opens with an image of a desert planet. A destroyed AT-AT is shown laying on its side.
- As footage of a forest location (believed to be Puzzlewood, where some filming took place) with a large structure is shown, voice over (thought to be Lupita Nyong’o) says “I shall show you the story…”
- The trailer cuts to a shot of a large city in a tropical location. The city is possibly on the water. The voiceover continues “of who you seek…”
- As a cloaked figure (Luke?) stands on top of stone steps on a high green hill, the VO continues, “the one who taught me…”
- As the VO concludes with, “I know why the weapon came to you,” we are shown a shot of Finn (John Boyega), Rey (Daisy Ridley) and a blue alien in a dark cave. Finn ignites a green-bladed lightsaber. Rey looks on in the background, disturbed.
- As the trailer moves to a series of quick shots, we see Han Solo looking past the camera.
- A TIE Fighter is seen attacking the forest location from earlier in the trailer.
- A POV shot of Kylo Ren (the cross guard lightsaber-wielding villain from the teaser) shows the evildoer approaching someone on the ground.
- People run in the city shown earlier.
- R2-D2 makes a forlorn beep.
- C-3PO and Leia are featured in a location resembling a base command center.
- A new voice over (thought to be Andy Serkis) says, “Don’t get too sentimental.” This plays over a shot of Han looking at Leia and then walking towards the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca.
- In the snowy forest from the teaser, we see a shot of Finn holding the lightsaber, protecting Rey. Han says, “You can do this kid. I believe in you.”
- The final shot is a closeup of a hooded figure looking up. It is Luke.
So, the question becomes, which one is right? One of the above description is bound to be right. However it is entirely possible that neither are right. Then again, is it possible that Lucasfilm has actually made multiple versions of the trailer and these are actually both completely accurate? The truth of the matter is, the people who actually know wont be talking until April 16th. What we can really take away from a situation like this is one beautifully simple observation. It is a good time to be a STAR WARS fan.
