There is a short scene that a hand touches Artoo.
Look at the hand closely.
(This is merely speculation, tho.)

...on the poster. ALL of the old guards are there (Hans solo, Leia, R2D2, C3PO, chewie) in the poster except LS
..this omission (from the poster) may mean surprises in store for SW fans.

Its been speculated that he (luke) plays the role similar to reclusive old man obi wan (as in SW a new hope), even then Obi Wan (alec guinness was in that SW-A New Hope poster).
Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) is involved too in SW-TFA. It could mean to search for him (only at the end) by rey, finn & hans solo

OR

a conspiracy...plot twist...

rumor has it that a major character will die and it's Luke.  see Leia crying in the final trailer?  ahem....good indication

Star Wars I, II, III, IV, V VI.

Took advantage of the long weekend to do a Star Wars marathon, to brush up on my Star Wars lore before the new chapters.

Most of you would know by now that the 3 episodes made late 70s and early 80s are episodes after the ones made late 90s and early 00s.

I wonder, are there people on this forum who had not watch the Star Wars series?

Having a chance to watch them in their numeric sequence, I have to say the IV, V and VI are still my favorite episodes.

Why?

1) The three main leads have such great chemistry (which episodes I, II and III lack).

2) Because of "lack" off funds, the IV, V and VI episodes had to solve specially effects issues more practically, therefore, the movies are more... "organic". It is obvious that Yoda in episodes V and IV is a puppet, and have to add, he is SO MUCH MORE LIKEABLE in those episodes. You actually "care" for him.

Having said the above, I am actually a skeptic about the new episodes. Even IV, V and VI had their inconsistencies (story wise), and after I, II and III their was much greater.

Star Wars IV: The New Hope is a bright star in terms of movie from the 70s. The fact that it is still placed highly amongst movie goers highlight that.

My concern is with every new episodes, that brightness seems to diminish...

We shall all see, in the future no so far away.
