I saw a pretty convincing fake trailer, but realized my error before texags could strike down upon me with great vengeance and furious anger.

Yeah, I said some sarcastic comment about no Hobbit commenting on Star Wars threads. I'm still nursing the wound from that mistake.

Andy Serkis confirmed that it is his voice in the trailer

What we have here is a prime example of a fascinating Internet phenomenon: the preemptive denunciation of a controversy that doesn't exist

What a great, well said article Redstone. So true of the internet in general.

Someone should post that article to the Politics board

It is indeed a controversy.

People are bored out of their minds and subconsciously want adversity.

C'mon, China, Russia, Iran, and/or zombies, help make this country great again.

The 88-second trailer racked up 58.2 million YouTube views since being released on Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving.

A Zefr spokesperson said the company's research had the Star Wars preview on track to become the most viewed trailer of all time.

Avengers: Age of Ultron had the previous best first week with 50.6 million views.

Not that it means a damn thing, it's gonna be a juggernaut anyway. Just cool.

If I could buy tickets for nextDecember,.I would.

Any guesses on when we'll be getting a poster?

That art is fantastic.

Are you going to Star Wars Celebration? If so, I hate you.

I'm not. I remember reading about the first one pre-Episode 1 when I was 15 or 16. I've always wanted to go. I swear one day I'm going to make it out there. I should have plenty of opportunities since it's an every year thing now.

The D is silent!

I shouldn't laugh . . .

I came really close to going to Celebration in Orlando a few years back. Didn't pull the trigger, but it's definitely something I will do some day.

Also, excellent gif.

That gif is awesome

A hooded ruffian

Talking to my brother on the phone about the trailer and we both pinpointed out biggest fear, wanted to share with the group.

It's that whomever/whatever the villain of this thing is lessens what happened in the OT between Vader, Palpatine, Obi-Wan, and Luke. I'm not sure who the villain is or what his/her/its motivations are, but I really fear it being some "ancient evil" that comes out of nowhere that is ridiculously more powerful than Palpatine was, and that was sleeping or dormant or watching from afar as the events of the Galactic Civil War played out.

Anyone else feel that way?
