Looks like the droid is riding the ball rather than being part of it.
Why can't people like both Star Wars and Jurassic Park.

Stop jumping to stupid conclusions because I like both. Good ol' Smiffy stole your thunder because (judging from your posting behaviour) you were probably itching to be the 1st one to post this preview at The Raven.TheFedora said:Why can't people like both Star Wars and Jurassic Park.
Don't know if things have changed since the '80s but, back then, building a lightsabre was secret knowledge amongst the Jedi. (This might have changed somewhere in the '90s with all the crappy novels & comic books & other bull**** or the "EU" as nerds like to call it).kongisking said:From the way the blade looks really unstable and super-charged in that moment, and how the smaller blades pop out after a split-second from the main blade, I'm now thinking they are actually supposed to be vents for the beam, because otherwise this ancient saber would overheat and blow up. It definitely looks like an early lightsaber prototype.

Stoo said:HATE that lightsabre design.

Stoo said:To me, it doesn't look ancient but rather an attempt by a "newbie" to replicate older/forgotten technology by someone who doesn't know the precise details...which could account for the rough edges. The lasers coming out from the hilt is probably meant to appeal to "Lord of the Rings/Hobbit" lovers?as in, "Ooh, look! It's medieval-style!"

Finn said:That lightsaber hilt is also playing to this. Rather than make us think of sleek and futuristic world of the future, it's springing forth images from the Dark Ages.
Finn said:Just thought of something. We'll of course have to wait 'til the final film to catch all the visuals, but it looks as if they've decided to make it seem almost as if technological development ran backwards in the Star Wars Universe.
The prequel trilogy was all smooth, curved, and futuristic. The original three were very utilitarian... the third one almost seems as if it was taking place in a true ramshackle crapsack galaxy, "after the end", so to speak.

Montana Smith said:(CNN) -- Actor John Boyega has four words for anyone who's upset he's playing what appears to be a black Stormtrooper in the latest "Star Wars" film: "Get used to it."
Aside from the racists there are still clonists out there who insist that all Stormtroopers are clones.
