    Every time the Broad-badass light saber is fired up, I think, “that poor little tree really did something to piss this person off.”

  2. Allya says:

    Note about the Falcon’s upgraded sensor dish: it seems to be the same type previously seen on the Corellian Corvette aka the Rebel Blockade Runner – another great callback to the ‘used universe’ concept of the OG trilogy.

    In answer to the probe droid possibly being an influence in the design of ‘Ball2-D2’s photoreceptors: you may be right on the money, as we hear that distinctive ‘nah-nah-pah-nah-nah’ probot sound in the same shot as Boyega in the teaser.

    The Awesomeness of the Star Wars Trailer made Jessica go Super Saiyan? You look even hotter with blonde hair 🙂

    Also, an exclusive report from ABC news (owned by Disney) had an insider confirm that the voice speaking in the teaser belongs to Andy Sirkis.

  5. Bruce Kinnison says:

    They replaced the sensor dish because Lando Calrissian knocked off the old one in ROTJ.

    square dish on the falcon … discuss

    The “Ball2-D2” has a hint of Imperial Probe Droid in it’s design. Look at those eye sensors and antenna on the top of his robo noggin’. Also the hint of probe droid noise in the background sounds of John Boyega’s sweaty entrance. Could the droid be Boyega’s robuddy? Also Check out the side of Daisy Ridley’s speeder: that black pole looks like some kind of light-saber-spear (lightspear) or forcepike, just saying. Also the storm-trooper lenses she has used to make her goggles. And the Falcon has a new deflector dish. I’ve been pouring all over this teaser @loadeddicenet because we are pumped.
