I read somewhere yesterday that Hamill kept reading the line as "My father had it..." and they ended up blending the two together after that... but I don't know how accurate that is. If so...

@80: Alright, so anthonypero was totally correct that it was a mix between the two.

Good timing: Abrams and Hamill have answered the question about whether the lines come from ROTJ or were re-recorded. Turns out it's both. https://reactormag.com/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/#comment-515817
@78: No need to apologize; I guess I was just saying I didn't care enough to step on anyone's toes. I just wanted to clarify our conversation to Bluejay @75 though, because I think Greymarch @23 ...

@77: I will admit I thought the last line didn't match up to the original, but the link shows its pretty close. As I said before, its j...

@75: Greymarch @23 mistakingly said the last line was new. The other discussion was regarding whether the last line was the recording from Return of the Jedi or a new recording that was blended w...

I've figured out what it is about this movie that's getting me excited, far more so then the prequels did. It's not the return to traditional movie effects and it's not Abrams taking over from Lu...

Re Luke's dialogue: I'm not sure what "new line" people are talking about. Everything Luke says in the trailer, including "You have that power too," is taken from ROTJ. See: https://reactormag.com/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/#comment-515812
@63 The existence of a Resistance actually argues to me in favor of the successful establishment of a New Republic, as evidenced by the name change. Palpatine achieved his Empire through entirely...

@Elisande, my theory is that Han left the Rebellion/Resistance after he and Leia had a kid, because they feared for the child's safety(their kids get kidnapped like WHOA in the Expanded Universe)...

@70 - not to get pendantic, but I always interpreted 'the forest moon of Endor' as referring to the moon, just in kind of formal speech. Kind of like if you said, 'the country of France'. But, I ...

@66: Ok, I'll take your word for it then.

@67/del: In fact, the Ewoks' home is called "the Forest Moon of Endor" -- meaning Endor is actually the name of the gas-giant planet it orbits. Although it does seem to be common to use it as the...

>63, I think you're on to something. Lucas has said (y'know, among all the other things he might have said) that the third trilogy would be about restoring the Republic. Defeating the Palpatine a...

I don't think this is Endor either, but on "Why would Endor change?", a possible Watsonian explanation could be that, at the latitude and longitude they're visiting in this film, they always call...

@64: I'm not sure 30 years is enough time for Endor's moon to become Dune. Here's a question--why does it have to be a desert planet? Why can't it just be a desert on a planet that has mul...

@64 Ellisande, While I can entertain the idea that Endor got devastated by the battle overhead, I'm not buying that Jakku=Endor. When Japan was devastated by WW2 they didn't change their name to ...
https://reactormag.com/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/#comment-515802
okay, thinking about the possibility that really is an SSD, it's wild theory time: What if "Jakku" is Endor? There's the old fan complaint that Endor's ecology probably would have been dev...
https://reactormag.com/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/#comment-515801
So the "First Order" is tied to the Empire (by TIE fighters of course) and the "Resistance" is the new "Rebel Alliance". The question then is how much power does each group have? In the original ...

But she don't understand they keep showing my hands but not my face on TV, eh? I meant Han and Chewie in the spotlight.
https://reactormag.com/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/#comment-515799
The other original characters are in there, you just aren't seeing their faces. You see both Luke & Leia during the voiceover, when he says "I have it, my sisters has it"
https://reactormag.com/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/#comment-515798
I can understand why they first put Han and Chewie in a trailer instead of the other original characters. They seem to be saying, remember when Star Wars had real, likable personalities instead o...

@58/crzydroid: We know from the signage at the Celebration event that the Stormtroopers work for something called the First Order, which seems to be the new "Empire," although I suppose it could ...

I don't think we can tell at all from that shot what kind of ship it is; it is obviously something large and there do seem to be many engine nozzles. It does NOT seem like the Star Destroyer from...

Upside-down model shot of a super star-destroyer, seems to fit the
bill of what the Falcon flies into:
https://reactormag.com/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/#comment-515794
The wreck that the Falcon flies into can't be the same as the wreck in the opening shot, because the Star Destroyer in the opening is nose-down and tilted, while the wreck in the later act...

@53, Looking at the shot of the buried Star Destroyer in the first shot, I'm not convinced it isn't an SSD.
