Cool. Appreciate the spoiler in the title so nobody could avoid seeing it. Classy move.

Are you all so afraid of spoilers and thirsty for vindication that you will believe everything you read and accuse those who make such claims despite there being little to no evidence to their claims?

Anyone spoiler free would see the first half of the title, stop reading, and move on. They wouldn't dig deeper into the thread to read and post.

The passive aggressive posters here are white knighting imaginary friends.

I only watched the trailer twice but it looked like the falcon is exploding to me too. That's probably what they want you to think. Then they bait and switch once you're at the theater where we learn Jakku and Naboo are neighbors and Jar Jar Binks is Rey's grandpa.

The frame in question is the falcon flying through an exploded part of the crashed SSD, and then it cuts to a bridge of what appears to be the new ISD exploding, although it could be a flash back to the old ISDs battling over jakku. Either way, the falcon is not pulling an Arvyel on a star destroyer.

Wait, do you actually read the front page of threads like line items on a bill? Me, I have the ability to scan a page for things that catch my eye, like...oh....say, "FALCON GETTING BLOWN UP." I didn't see the first part of the title until after that. Any solutions other than having a 2nd grade reading level or partial blindness?

You can't possibly think that failing to preemptively not direct one's eyes to a certain part of a page because it contains a spoiler is the fault of the person reading.

And I didn't dig deeper and read the thread either. I opened it, scrolled to the bottom and called out the OP for being inconsiderate. And I stand by that. Also reported the OP too.

So ignoring the fact that this thread is not relevant to the game of X-wing and therefore doesnt even belong in this subforum, perhaps the OP could use the spoiler function to hide it and made an appropriate title like "TFA trailer easter egg (WARNING SPOILER WITHIN)". Then people would have an opportunity to avoid seeing this.

The Enterprise wasn't rebuilt.

It was replaced.

Millennium Falcon

Millennium Falcon-B ......

Heaven help us.

Well, historically, if we're going by ship naming conventions, it the new ship would still just be the Millennium Falcon, but with a new registration number. If we're going by WWII aircraft naming conventions, the new ship would be the Millennium Falcon II. Given how much of Star Wars is done in homage to old films set in WWII, I would expect a new Millennium Falcon to be called Millennium Falcon II.

Maybe THAT'S what the hell an Aluminum Falcon is.

Even though this is just a speculation thread, please don't put even dubiously spoilery information in thread titles: it makes the entire X-Wing forum a no-go zone for spoiler avoidance if you do.

Yeah. Not cool, dude, not cool.

Falcon Asplode

Falcon done got blowed up

Millenium Falcon destroyed in huge fireball

Yeah, should have gone with one of those.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure the scene of the Falcon going to hyperspace is set after the Jakku scenes, which would include the 'blowed up' scene. As stated before, the Falcon has had worse.

I did a search for Star Wars EP 8 cast and here is a bit of news.

"However, some of the original cast members like Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are reportedly not involved in Star Wars episode 8 onwards. It has been previously reported that Star Wars 7 will pave way for the original cast members' send-off."

I think the pancake blows up.

There's no sign that the falcon goes boom.

I don't understand you people.

Have you not played the X-Wing Miniatures game?

There is no blowing up the Falcon. Especially if Chewy's flying.

The OP got it, and apologised, no more need to bash him/her!

I was already hinting at that scene in a post 20th oct, but hid it behind a spoiler tag:

Oh god

1:45

How could those bastards do it

They seem to be doing doing even more.

01:55 look suspicially like the Falcon doing a Kamikaze run. Han(?) after Chewie's death(?)

However, I like it. Real heroes have the right to die heroically?/tragically? to drive some point home. No overly cheesy, happy-fluff Disney/Hollywood endings for me, please.

However I am not so sure any more.

The frame in question is the falcon flying through an exploded part of the crashed SSD, and then it cuts to a bridge of what appears to be the new ISD exploding, although it could be a flash back to the old ISDs battling over jakku. Either way, the falcon is not pulling an Arvyel on a star destroyer.

A sad Leia hugs a sad Han. Could be a farwell to a Kamikaze, but can be a lot of other things. JJ obviously likes to mislead folks in trailers, several posters said on these forums.

Looking more closely at that scene. As above poster says, first scene looks like the Falcon flying to a big hangar(?) with desert sun in one of the openings.

Cut to a bridge/control room of something, with very few people on, which gets hit by an explosion. This explosion is not necessarily the Falcon hitting it. (Btw i like the retro look of that room, reminds of the OT Star Wars and Alien films). Looking closely at the room, it seems to not look out into space, but into some other room, with at least one TIE f/o or special in the back. So porbably not a Star Destroyer bridge in space. Could instead be e.g. the control room overlooking the hangar where the TIE special tries to get away by shooting lots of stromtrooper personal.

yuck. the ermahgad-spoilers-are-evryware crowd...

The Millennium Falcon's fate is unclear (just like a large amount of the movie plot). Rumors be rumors. Now, please go wash your underwear.

No, it's the please offer a warning before you post spoilers crowd. It's not an unreasonable request. I know common courtesy is "yucky" to some.

It's not a sodding spoiler.

Well I guess we will see in December.

I still say the falcon will make it. Dunno about her captain tho.

Completely unsure. About the fate of either, really. Which is exactly why this can't be a spoiler.

That's why we need an Idle Speculation area, or at least a tag for such topics. You know, for the newbs.

"You know, for the newbs."

Whew. Thank goodness you got that one off your chest. Anyway, time to put up that new discussion titled, "Jar Jar in TFA trailer?". It will be as if a million washing machines suddenly started at the same time.

Maybe there should be a new section of the website dedicated to the "no spoilers!" crowd? Don't worry, we will take out the new TFA core set discussions and any information regarding the next few waves that will have TFA content. I hope you haven't walked outside and been exposed to any of the mass marketing going on for EP7 as it is pretty spoiler heavy too.

For the actual discussion: The explosion on that bridge is hard to make out, but the falcon is just on fire a little as it flies through an explosion. Who knows what will happen? I just hope this movie lives up to the hype!

I'm 99.9% certain that so long as you're watching officially sanctioned Disney/LucasFilm materials before the movie launches, you're not getting spoilers. Anything between now and then is just speculation, mostly wild. And anything seen in a trailer watched by literally millions of people is not a spoiler.

Millennium Falcon

Millennium Falcon-B ......

Heaven help us.

Well, historically, if we're going by ship naming conventions, it the new ship would still just be the Millennium Falcon, but with a new registration number. If we're going by WWII aircraft naming conventions, the new ship would be the Millennium Falcon II. Given how much of Star Wars is done in homage to old films set in WWII, I would expect a new Millennium Falcon to be called Millennium Falcon II.

But you might be right. Maybe it'll be like in that other Star Wars movie when that D-model ship got destroyed and they rebuilt it by the next movie as a model E or whatever it was?

You mean Star Trek III, they self-destruct the Enterprise to kill some Klingons.

At the end of Star Trek IV Kirk gets command of a new ship of the same class that got renamed as Enterprise A

Actually, the name of the ship was just Enterprise. The '-A' is added as a fast way of differentiating USS Enterprise NCC-1701 and USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, &c. from USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. And it was done in the series to tie the new ship (NCC-1701-D) into the old ship. And once that bridge was laid, it was a simple matter when making Star Trek IV to add an '-A' to Kirk's new command.

Star Trek is pretty unique in utilizing the same registration number for the same ship over and over with a different letter at the end. In the US Navy, for instance, the USS Enterprise has borne the registrations SP-790 (a WWI patrol boat), CV-6 (the most decorated US warship of WWII), CVN-65 (the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier), and (eventually) CVN-80.

Just to nit-pick: adding the '-A' in Star Trek IV wasn't done because they'd done the NCC-1701-D for The Next Generation. Star Trek IV was released in 1986. TNG started in 1987. If anything, Star Trek IV laid the foundation for justifying the creation of the NCC-1701-D.

Even if it wasn't in the trailer, I think the orignal poster was an absolute bellend for making this a topic header; I've been avoiding trailers for a while for a reason. >_>

And to make something straight, just because it's in a trailer doesn't mean anything, trailers reveal too much these days! Pretty much showing off the best of the movie and the mere mention of something from it will force me to think about something that will happen rather then approach it with an empty mind. I don't need this.

There's discussion about this in another thread - the trailer was the biggest thing to hit the internet in the past few weeks and it is an official release from the company. You can't expect people to not talk about it or even to shield your own eyes for you. How long until after the movie is released will we be allowed to talk without a spoiler tag? I mean - it's ok to say that Harry is a horcrux now right? How long does a work need to be out and in the public consciousness before it is ok to just accept that people know the plot points? There are still people that haven't seen Empire Strikes Back but will 'get' a 'I am your father' joke.

Where does speculation cross the line into spoilers? Out of courtesy, the spoiler tag below is formatted as such but it is really just speculation.

As far as I know - The Mousetrap is the only work where the audience is asked not to discuss the ending : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mousetrap
