Star Wars VII

I mean, I know it's the real deal teaser, but it just looks like something I'd see a fan make, instead of something from the actual group making the movie. Something seems off about it.

Well they finished filming like a few weeks ago, so there's probably not a lost of post edited footage to pull from.

[Moose242]

So the main character is a female with a black love interest.

Progressive!

[LANTIRN]

Already better than the phantom menace.

Black storm troopers? What has the universe come to?

[CJ-95GT]

The storm troopers have a new helmet. Also, looks like the M/F canned the satelite dish.

Um, I thought all storm troopers came from Jango, who was white.

Unless they stopped cloning and recruited after the DS II was blown up...

I believe only the clone troopers were clones. Sometime after episode 3, if I recall correctly, they realized clones were too expensive and took too long to grow. The empire eventually switched over to general recruitment to keep up with demand and keep costs down. The emperial forces were also generally racist assholes, at least the high ranking officials were, which is why you see only humans in the navy. Most other races were generally considered inferior for some reason. Can't remember where I read that, though.

Jango is Maori (New Zealand Pacific Islander)

Depending on the EU source material and time you're talking about, storm troopers are either a mix of several different clone stock, clones and regular humans, or all regular humans. This is for many reasons, but the most likely reason is to retcon the fact that original trilogy storm troopers are different heights.

I'm personally digging the new trooper design and I'm happy to see that they're actual suits. Eps 2 & 3 clone troops were CG only.

Depends on what universe you are following. In the prequel movies, they were clones. In the original trilogy, they were recruits. In the extended universe, they had clones and general recruitment, then once the rebels won, the cloning facilities got destroyed and it was all recruits.

[Broncojohnny]

Damn sure looks promising.

[Craizie]

Did anyone else think it was fake just because the trooper was black? I'm not a racist, right?

[Binky]

I thought it was Tracy Morgan and was a spoof.

[Ldecharmoy]

Maybe it was a new character that disguised himself as a storm trooper

EDIT: Black guy is John Boyega, supposed to have a lead role in the new movie

Daisy Ridley is the chick

Adam Driver Is suppose to be the new "bad" guy
