Star Wars Trailer!
In the future to us, or future to the first 3? Because they were "a long time ago...."

So far, in this trailer, there is no sign whatsoever of a 70-year-old Jar Jar Binks. This, alone, can only be a good thing.Comment

Well, of course, a cheese and ham roll would be fairly clunky whereas a cheese and pickle roll would split in two with one part landing pickly bit down.SouthdownRebel wrote:More importantly, has science ever subjected the cheese and ham roll to a wind-tunnel test?

It depends on the size of the ham relative to the size of the roll and how you arrange it. If you have slice of ham that is larger than the roll and just lay it flat, then there is going to be plenty of ham sticking out the sides to act as a sort of wing.Bored of Education wrote:Well, of course, a cheese and ham roll would be fairly clunky whereas a cheese and pickle roll would split in two with one part landing pickly bit down.Originally posted by SouthdownRebelComment

Also important to consider are the relative aerodynamic qualities of different types of ham - your Brunswick versus your Serrano, dry cured versus wet cured and so on and so forth.Comment

"Spiral sliced" ham is a thing over here.
One would think this would add to the aerodynamic qualities of the product.Comment

As a whole ham, a dry cured, smoked ham would probably be more aerodynamic they tend to be flatter (more star destroyer shaped, while cooked hams are shaped more like a half built (but fully operational) death-star) for reasons I've never understood, but also the more solid surface would be better in flight.
In a roll, I suspect something quite wet, on the basis that the most solidly the roll is held together (and therefore the more adhesive the ingredients) the less like the top bun is to wobble around and deform, ruining airflow. So, cooked ham on a roll.
Anyway, I was totally bored by the idea of episode seven. I didn't even watch two and three after Phantom Menace was so unutterably shit. But that trailer may be enough to get me excited again. Not the normal fan-boy stuff about tie-fighters and what-have-you. More the Planet of the Apes of the star destroyed. And Han and Chewy. Bring it on.Comment

I got my friend Al in trouble by tweeting a pic of our Star Wars duvet cover that my wife bought us as a surprise. Next time I saw him Al told me very loudly "Your wife is so cool!" Unfortunately this was in front of his wife who I don't think appreciates how cool Star Wars duvet covers are and gave him a very frosty look.
Awkward it was, I would say. Hmmm.Comment

No. He was in Episode 3 on Kashyyyk (the Wookiee homeworld) as part of the Wookiee forces fighting alongside the Clones against the Separatist droid armies.Antonio Pulisao wrote:

Some plausible fan fiction site speculations on the plot:
Finn is a stormtrooper who is ordered to take part in a massacre of civilians by a new leader of the Empire, causing him to rebel against his orders. Ends up meeting Rey while on the run.
Rey is a scavenger/collector of Clone War/Rebellion artefacts, who comes into possession of something that leads them to Luke, or in direct competition with someone else collecting artefacts to do with the force.
Warwick Davis has said he is in the film. Maybe he will reprise his role as Wikkit, perhaps just as a cameo (the Darth Vader helmet we see in the trailer may well have ended up on Endor and in Wikkit's possession, after we last saw it on the funeral pyre at the end of Episode 6). It makes sense that people would collect and value war memoribilia - why not ? We do as a society.Comment

If the Jedi rule the Senate, wouldn't there not be an Empire, more of an opposition in hiding?Rogin the Armchair Fan wrote: Some plausible fan fiction site speculations on the plot:

The Jedi don't rule the Senate by the end of Episode 6. There's none of them left, apart from Luke and Leia. It makes sense for this film to pick up in the middle of that power vacuum.Comment

It cannot possibly be as bad as the prequels. That's all I have in terms of expectations.
And 'Kylo Ren'? Lazy reworking of 'Han Solo'. They clearly ran out of good names in the 70s.Comment

I went to a barbecue last weekend, only to find myself with a self-proclaimed Star Wars geek.
I asked him what protection Stormtrooper armour offered exactly. He struggled.
We agreed it was hygienic and easily cleaned.Comment

Tssk. Next you'll be asking why no-one ever thought to put handrails up along any of the walkways next to those precipitous drops on the Death Star. Or why everyone doesn't get sucked out of the hangar bay into the vacuum of deep space.Comment
