It is a foregone conclusion that Disney and Lucasfilm will premiere the next Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens trailer at Star Wars Celebration in mid-April. This second trailer should then premiere online sometime in late April, followed by a big screen bow on May 1 attached to Disney and Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.
If this morning’s Star Wars Episode 7 news is to be believed then we already know the contents of this trailer. Don’t read any further if you want to avoid Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoilers at all costs.
Early this morning, numerous web outlets received two separate reports claiming that they had seen the next Star Wars trailer and offered up a Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer 2 description.
The first report is intricately detailed with precise quotes from two separate voice-overs heard during the presumably 90-second trailer. Here are the contents of that report in their entirety:
“The footage was a very rough cut of the new Star Wars trailer that J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy will show off next month at Celebration. It’ll then probably be with Avengers. The trailer was just completed in the last couple weeks and it runs about a minute and a half. The music I’m told was all temporary using existing score from the previous Star Wars movies, but I understand that Williams composed a new piece last November that’ll be used in the final trailer.
The first portion of it is rather slow:Like the first teaser it opens with a shot of the desert planet. Although it’s not dunes. It’s a destroyed AT-AT on its side.
Voice over (sounds like Lupita Nyong’o): “I shall show you the story…”
Forest location with a very large structure (like a castle or something) with an opening in the base of a large tree. I believe this is the Puzzlewood location.
VO continues “of who you seek…”
A large city in a tropical location. Looks like it’s on the water.
VO continues “the one who taught me…”
Cloaked figure (maybe Luke?) standing at the top of stone steps on a high green hill with mountain stones behind him. This is definitely Skellig Michael.
VO continues “I know why the weapon came to you.”
John Boyega (Finn), Daisy Ridley (Rey), and a small blue alien with a CG face in a dark (underground?) cave. Finn takes a lightsaber, and turns it on revealing a green blade. Rey is in the background and looks disturbed.
Things pick up from here. Lots of quick shots.
Han Solo wearing a brown duster and looking past the camera.
A black TIE Fighter attacking the forest location we saw earlier.
Kylo Ren in a POV shot approaching someone on the ground. His mask is dark with silver accents. The cross-guard saber is ignited.
People running in the city seen earlier in the trailer.
R2-D2 making a forlorn beep.
C-3PO and Princess Leia in what looks like a base command center.
New Voice Over (sounds like Andy Serkis from the first trailer) “Don’t get too sentimental”.
As that VO is playing we see Han looking at Leia and then walking away from her towards the Falcon with Chewie.
The snowy forest from the first trailer. Slow shot of Finn holding the saber, looks like he’s protecting Rey from someone as we hear Han say “You can do this kid, I believe in you.”
Final shot of the trailer is a close-up of a hooded head looking up to reveal Luke.”
The second The Force Awakens trailer report is the exact opposite; a spastic paragraph with few details and several expletives, but what details are provided do match up with the more eloquent report.
“I can’t believe this. It’s AWESOME. It’s longer than the last trailer. It has dialog and it’s Lupita Nyong’o talking about the one who trained her and the lightsaber. THEY SHOW LUKE! He looks badass! Han and Leia are in it more than once and you even hear Andy Serkis say “don’t get sentimental” or something like that. The saber is GREEN (not blue like in the concept art) and it looks like Finn is the new Jedi because he’s the only one using in it the trailer. He has it in the forest at the end of the trailer while Han is saying something about believing in him before they SHOW LUKE’S FACE. He looks crazy badass! Oh yea they show Kylo Ren’s face too and it kinda looks like Revan but different. There’s also this kick ass looking black TIE Fighter wrecking shit. It’s so fucking cool.”
On one hand the majority of what these reports entail match up with Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens concept art that several “Bothan Spies” have been openly talking about online for several months. On the other there are some new bits of information offered such as an “opening in a very large tree.” This could come from concept art as well, though if it did, no one online has brought it up yet.
Frankly I’m torn. The first description seems legitimate in the beats and what’s revealed. At the same time, seeing a trailer once and remembering all the dialogue word-for-word seems like a stretch. Unless, of course, this person saw it more than once.
If a fan or fans concocted this ruse then brave, job well done. If not then get excited for another great Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Episode VII trailer to drop in less than two months time.
