That new trailer did its job. I was already excited for this movie. Now, I'm ready to freeze myself and risk waking to a world 1000 years in the future, where atheists are at war over what to call themselves... Just wake me when it comes out. This looks incredible, and exactly what Star Wars fans want. Female lead or not, this is going to kick so much ass.

It was tough to hear Alan Tudyk as the voice of the droid. Nice job on his part as well as editors.

The ISD hovering over the city? zomg.

Original X-Wings rendered with 2016 SFX? I'm erect.

I heard his voice very clearly but what bothered me about it was that he sounds exactly the same as Sonny from I, Robot.

No difference in tonality, inflection or the modulation effect.

I mean to say had I not known it was Tudyk's voice I wouldn't have recognized it.


And I never saw I, Robot.

Ah.

While I, Robot certainly sparked debate among fans of the Asimov book (almost no similarity besides the title and the "3 Laws", which angered the die-hards), I enjoyed the film, mainly due to Tudyk's performance (and Will Smith is dialed back a bit more than usual, which is very welcome).

But yeah, his voice sounds identical.

That must have been a choice by KK and Edwards because it's unavoidable without massive changes in Post.

Today I learned Alady Tudyk is typecast.

Thanks for posting the trailer Dane. Much appreciated! :-)

Why is the Death Star upside-down? I know that such an orientation isn't really a thing in space, but still looks strange.

Alan Tudyk could be cast as God, the devil, or eric hosmer, and i would still watch.

Wash 4ever!

Yeah I wondered that too. Maybe it's a shot from a ship approaching from the bottom? Otherwise everyone in that thing will be walking on the ceilings, and that trash compactor monster is going to be hella pissed.

Pablo Hidalgo of LucasFilm tweeted a pic of the space shuttle upside down, basically implying that it's just a shot.

Personally, I think it's pretty cool.

There's no "up" or "down" in space.

Please keep all facts out of the science fiction threads. TIA
