It's a confusing jump cut, then.

Most likely just something to make that little snippet more interesting without giving up what's actually going on at that point in the story. I personally think it's obvious she's getting chased by something but they didn't want to give away what just yet.

Haha that's brilliant.

That shot of Anakin right at the end scared the s**t out of me though.

I think it's just a goof. The holster just hasn't been added to the long shot. It looks like the hilt of a lightsaber too. But it could be just a staff weapon to zap predators.

No, it's a different scene (or at least a different part of the scene). In one shot she has her goggles up, the other she has them down over her eyes.

Sometimes I swear you guys are just desperate to find and point out errors/mistakes.

You'd think they could be happy about getting some footage but apparently, criticizing is where the real joy is. So far I think we've seen it all.
"The guy can't be a storm trooper, it doesn't look enough like tatooine, I'm tired of tattooine, I don't like the droid, the lightsaber is stupid and doesn't make sense, the millennium falcon looks too cgi". Let's just boycott the whole movie now.

I just spilled a glass of milk, therefore I'm blaming it on Star Wars, which really means Lucas.

I find it funny when people complain about others criticizing. Lucasfilm released a teaser trailer, people saw it, people either liked what they saw or they didn't. The ones who didn't have just as much right to criticize as the ones who did can heap praise on it. I could have sworn this was a message board where things are discussed.

But there's a difference between criticizing and complaining, which is I think why some get upset. Yes, we should be open to debate here, but a lot of people were looking for problems out the gate because they don't like Abrams, they hate the prequels, and their love for Star Wars has become seriously tainted over the years, with it shifting more towards hate, which is sad. If some don't like the teaser, that's fine. But bemoaning the new lightsaber design before we've seen how it works in the context of the film is a little bit ridiculous. Just like the people who said the X-Wings are shown to be flying over water is just to "be stylish", how is that possible? There's clearly going to be a reason those X-Wings are there in the context of the film, it's not just to be "cool".

A lot of people on the internet made their minds about this film a long time before the teaser, and they'll look for any reason to be upset about it. This 88 seconds is scenes, out of context, out of a movie that will be at least two hours and twenty minutes. The idea that any of this, much like in the teaser for Jurassic World, can be considered ridiculous or impractical is crazy because we haven't seen the film. If people don't like the movie once they've seen it, then have it. But there's no way to call this stuff impractical so early on, the movie is still over a year away and we haven't seen how this all works in the movie. Let the movie speak for itself before condemning it.

I find it very funny that people have been complaining for decades. But that's just me.

I didn't say it was the same scene, it just looks like the holster should always be attached to the side, maybe it's explained in the film ... maybe it's just an early render or goof (the goggles maybe a goof too). Without seeing the film it's just speculation on both our parts.

We're not trying to find faults, they're just observations. Jurassic World has that awful CGI entrance to the park, it confirmed it's an early model and won't be in the final film, it's possible we won't see some of the Star Wars teaser footage in the actual film it might just be teaser footage.

New order of scenes. Omits annoying scenes, shortens some scenes. Much better imo.

Did any of you guys having snappy comments on how they messed up with the Daisy Ridley sequence, ever consider that one of the 2 shots of her used in the trailer could be mirrored/reversed?

Actually, you've nailed it. You can tell by the attachment on the side of her goggles.

I thought of that. Jar Jar's carcass is strapped to the other side of the speeder.

On the flip side there is no way to tell that a film will be great because of a trailer. I eould guess that 80% of the films i see are big letdowns because the best parts are in the trailers...

I'm not saying that the movie will be great, and I never even insinuated as such. I said to let the movie speak for itself, and if it's good, then that's great. If not, then you can tear it apart. But there's no reason to decide what works in the film now before we've seen it. Lets just let the film speak for itself next December.
