There's still one year to get rid of the light hand guards and the soccer droid.

Regarding 'troopers, what Comsquare said.

I meant to say roller -bot earlier, but soccerbot sounds much better, particularly since being British, it should be football. Definitely a soccer bot!

[beefcake]

Would that bot be called F1FA?

  Genius!

It'll be fun I'm sure.

I haven't watched Star Wars in years (last time was when I was 16/17?)

Saw glimpses of both the originals and the prequels, and although the originals were cool, neither hit me though as being 'deep' films, especially the prequels.

I'll forward to going to the cinema when its out, strange, popsicle speeder aside (I wanna know how she gets onto it for a start?)

They were never meant to be, just a bit of cinematic fun 

I'd be really interested to see what (if any) fleet action there's going to be

The big unwieldy speeder looks exactly like the kind of thing I wanted to see. Its stupid in all the right ways. The wristguard sabre, meh, considering some of the idiotic fan ideas out there this is pretty mild.  Could be a lot worse.

I'm curious as to how much we are going to see of the ball droid, might be a bit of a throwaway design a scene starts zoomed in on and then disappears into the background.

Of this, we can only hope.

The more I look at this, the more I see a pod-racer engine. I daresay one wouldn't have bare skin around that pipe though. Any contact would melt the skin from your leg.

Would that bot be called F1FA?

For the win!!!

[former user]

that bot be called F1FA

I wonder how they got Kenny Baker inside that one and how often he got sick....

[Commander Vyper]

The astromarble mech is weird I'll grant u. At least 3PO'S in it and R2 so they'll be some 'normal' droids too.

I think this is what bugs me most about Star Wars fans.  They treat the original movies as if they were epic pieces of film mastery.  They weren't.  What they were, were unequivocally "cool" with lots of excellent eye-candy and a nice vaguely serious take on Sci-fi as a blockbuster film.  The prequels were...neither.  Not cool, and not good movies.

I daresay the new films could be far better than all of them as far as acting/film goes --- but will they be quite as cool?  Dunno.  I also got the distinct feeling that speederbike was a recovered and re-imagined engine pod from something a lot larger.  The question still remains though: how do you get on the damn thing? 

[OSHIROmodels]

Step ladder  

The sound of the 'speeder bike' is the same as some of the pod engines. There are also a couple of very good concept images of a downed AT-AT that's been converted into a hermits home, or some such, could be the same person?
