Joer, la están poniendo muy bien los afortunados que la han visto.

Recordemos que la primera se la enseñó Lucas en un prepase ya medio montada a sus amigos, es decir a Coppola, Spielberg, Scorsese y De Palma. Éste último le dijo algo así como "pero tú de qué vas?" y los demás le dieron ideas para montarla algo mejor de la morralla cutre que había filmado.

Solo hay que ver el "Deleted Magic" para apreciar el trabajo que le dió de que saliese algo potable (y normal que le diese aquel jamacuco):

Lo de R2 bajando las escaleras en el hangar del Halcón Milenario puede verse segundos en la peli y elegantemente lo barre la cámara, si llegan a dejar eso y más escenas como las de Darth Vader o las de Peter Cushing en el interior de la estrella de la muerte son de peli cutre de la Hammer...

Esa fue, creo, la primera imagen de BB8. La del primer teaser de noviembre del año pasado.

Añado:

Que máquina, no ha engordado nada en todos estos años.

Interesante teoría que he encontrado:

In the Arthurian legend, King Arthur is the greatest king of all that ruled with power, and honor. He created the Knights of the Round Table, allowing everyone equal standing at that table. He lived an amazing life, accomplishing many great deeds and ruling justly. On his gravestone is the phrase "Hic iacet Arthurus, Rex quandam, rexque futurus" which translates into "Here lies Arthur, King once, and King to be" prophesying that in the time of Britain's greatest need, he would return to rule again wielding Excalibur.

There are obvious parallels to the Arthurian legend in TFA, and some not so obvious. Hopefully I will be able to convey my thoughts coherently.

I belive the Knights of Ren and the Knights of the Round have an obvious parallel. But with a small twist. Let us say that Ren is the equivalent of King Arthur, ruling justly and powerfully, in balance with the Force and everyone and everything in a time long ago and nearly forgotten . Supremely powerful and just. He creates the Knights of Ren to maintain balance in the Force and in the Galaxy, made up of powerful force users that do not stick to the idea of diametrically opposed aspects of the Force. Just what they believe to be true balance.

One day Ren passes on to become one with the Force, and without to hold the balance, some of his Knights perhaps begin to fight over the kingdom, much like Alexander the Great's generals, and they splinter into what eventually will become Sith and Jedi. But it is prophesied that Ren will be reborn one day to again bring balance to the Force. This same prophesy is over time slightly misinterpreted by the Jedi (who in my theory originally were philosophically descended from some Knights of Ren) into the prophesy we hear of in the PT that talks about destroying the Sith (which is the misinterpreted part of the original prophecy.) The Sith too know of this prophecy (now the Jedi version) and are worried that the Chosen one (who is said to be a Jedi) will destroy them, so they actively seek to destroy the Jedi to prevent the prophecy fulfillment.

Meanwhile some members of the KoR have remained patiently waiting behind the scenes for the return of Ren. They have a steward in place of Ren holding the throne until his return, much like the steward of Gondor in LOTR. Perhaps they even have a candidate that they hope the spirit of the resurrected Ren will inhabit. And they are continuously trying to bring Ren back into this realm by force possession so to speak. And maybe that's what the title Kylo Ren means: the reincarnated Ren (or perhaps Kylo just means king). Perhaps they did not know of Anakin/Vader's immaculate conception, perhaps they caused it indirectly (like the non canon Plague is novel talks about) when trying to resurrect Ren. But as most often is the case, they did not understand that Anakin/Vader was the fulfillment of the prophecy until after the fact.

So now the KoR are obsessed with Vader because he was the reincarnation of Ren, but without their guidance, he did not fully fulfill the prophecy in their minds so they are seeking for a way to bring back Ren's spirit and Vader may hold the key to that so they are seeking everything they can related to him; artifacts and children. So they seek out Luke but are unable to sway him, but as rumored they steal one of Anakin Skywalker's grandchildren (Rey being the other) and raise him to believe he will inherit the spirit and power of Ren when they figure out how to bring Ren's spirit back.

Now Snoke, the Supreme leader of the First Order, I believe will be shown to also be the secret leader (steward of the throne) of the Knights of Ren. He has brainwashed Kylo all his life and is directing Kylo Ren to find the last pieces of the puzzle so to speak to bring Ren back to this realm. A puzzle piece that perhaps only Luke knows of or is protecting.

Also Snoke's codename was Uber and although this is a loose similarity, king Arthurs father was Uther Pendragon. Pendragon means "Chief Dragon" in old Welsh and Snoke is rumored to look reptilian, perhaps even dragonlike. I just think if I am right that will be a cool connection.

Now as for my even more loosely based predictions, I think that Snoke of course has ulterior motives, that Kylo Ren and Rey maybe switching roles (or not).

Nuevo trailer japonés de Star Wars: El Despertar de la Fuerza que muestra nuevas escenas

Tons Of New Footage Revealed In Japanese Trailer For STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Yo creo que es fan made

Spoiler:

El pase de prensa es el Martes 15, lo acabo de ver por twitter, osea que las críticas estarán embargadas hasta el día siguiente, tampoco mucho.

Anda que esta tía no se pierde una, está hasta en la sopa; y el que tiene que aparecer, parece que se lo ha tragado el Sarlacc .

El que ha visto ya The Force Awakens comenta sobre la BSO (nada concreto, podéis abrir el spoiler tranquilamente):

Spoiler:

Loved the new themes, but its hard to beat the classics like Imperial March. I think Williams tries his best but they still need the old themes for nostalgia factor. That combined orchestra though...

Anyways its better to hear it for yourself in theaters for the first time instead of your headset at your computer. Won't surprise me if the soundtrack leaks soon if it hasn't already.

Ojalá aparezca algún temazo nuevo pero la cosa está en que cuando suene el tema principal, o el de la Fuerza (que en el fondo es el que más articula temáticamente toda la saga) o algún otro, será emocionalmente difícil de batir.

Parece que ya hay gente haciendo cola en algún cine de Los Ángeles (o su área metro)

Tan sólo lo he leído un par de veces en algún foro así que falta alguna fuente pero vaya, no lo dudo

Parece que ya hay gente haciendo cola en algún cine de Los Ángeles

Aver si lo he entendido bien, ¿van a estar 1 semana haciendo cola?

Igual es para la premiere, que es los ángeles dentro de 4 dias

Si que están haciendo cola ya:

A alguno, cuando salgan los titulos de credito iniciales, igual le da un desmayo, un infarto, o una crisis de ansiedad.


No está muy bien esa gente la verdad

Por si no se ha dicho o pasó desapercibido para mí:

En la revista de movistar (las que están en sus tiendas oficiales) regalan con la revista de diciembre un poster A1 de la película.

Y aún más extraño contando que deben tener asiento asignado. De todas formas hablamos de gente más que fan, tal vez sea ya una especie de experiencia de querer vivir un estreno sufriendo un poco durante una semana en la calle, además de salir en las noticias y demás.

Y los niños nacidos a partir de 1999 y cuyo nombre era Anakin

En 1999 ya vimos muestras de ese tipo: la gente que acudía a ver sólo el trailer del Episodio I, yéndose después del mismo y antes de la película que tocaba (me suena que terminaron colocando el trailer después de la película!). Y también el famoso absentismo laboral del día del estreno.

Lo de 2015 es más un fenómeno global de una marca tremendamente establecida pero lo de 1999 fue, simplemente, el mayor fenómeno nerd de espera para una película.

Para los de BCN o los que os podáis acercar en Navidades, Phenomena ofrecerá casi 50 sesiones de The Force Awakens, entre el viernes 18 y el jueves 31 de diciembre. Ya hay agotadas 3 sesiones (la de medianoche del jueves y 2 del viernes).

Obviamente vose y con el sonido bestial de aquella sala.

Si queréis ir a un cine lo más parecido posible a volver a los años 80, Phenomena es vuestro cine.

Six Records Star Wars is Certain to Break

The Force Awakens opens in theaters in less than two weeks, and the hype is growing. In fact, it now looks like the film could break well over a dozen major records during its box office run, not including some of the more esoteric records, like biggest non-opening Wednesday (currently $29.07 million, and held by Transformers, in case you were wondering.) That’s a lot records to keep track of. So in the lead up to the launch, we will be looking at these possible records divided into three groups. Today, we are going to look at the records we think are the most likely to fall: the ones we think have a 90% chance or better of being broken by The Force Awakens. In fact, in some cases, they have already fallen.

Highest Pre-sales on IMAX
According to IMAX, no film has ever had IMAX pre-sales greater that $1 million. The Force Awakens had $6.5 million before November began.

Well, that was easy.

Highest Pre-sales
Again, already broken. It broke the record for opening day presales, opening week, and so on, but we are not going to divide the record into smaller bits. That would be cheating.

Single Day Box Office, December
This record is currently held by The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey at $37.13 million. This is far less than The Force Awakens’ ticket pre-sales and if this record doesn’t fall, something has gone terribly wrong.

Opening Weekend Box Office, December
This record is also currently held by The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey at $84.62 million. This is very likely less than The Force Awakens will have made in pre-sales by the time it opens, so if this record doesn't fall, hats will be eaten.

2015 Preview Evening Receipts
So far, the best preview numbers we’ve seen this year were pulled in by The Avengers: Age of Ultron with $27.6 million. The only way this record might not fall is if The Force Awakens opened in a limited number of theaters late on Thursday evening. Disney aren’t that stupid: from what we’ve seen, it’s opening at 7pm on Thursday in every theater. This record should fall by a mile.

Widest Opening
The current record is 4,468, held by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Very early reports, have The Force Awakens opening in approximately 4,500 theaters. Granted, that number could be off by just 1% and Eclipse would keep the record, but Disney doesn’t seem to be holding the movie back. This one should fall too, if only by a small margin.

Those are the records we think the film has a 90% chance or better of breaking. Next time we will look at the records that are closer to a coin toss, while this time next week we will look at the hard-but-possible records.
