<p>A severed hand that doesn't burn up on re-entry with the atmosphere :think:</p>

<p>Well they have sound in space in that galaxy far, far away, so why the fuck not?</p>

<p>It does feel like an intentionally misleading "leak"... as Star Wars fans will forgive a lot, but yes, I'm not sure anyone will buy a had surviving re-entry intact... There will be a LOT of leaks till this comes out, none of them true.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They'd be better off having it as Chewy & Han & some kid in space suits doing repairs on the Falcon, broken down in space a-la Gravity & the hand bumps into the kid & he loses his shit. And then you have 2 minutes of Chewy & Han looking at the hand & Chewy going "ARRRRGH!!!" while Han goes "I know!" while the kid pirouttes off into space screaming in the background till Han larconically gets him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thats 4% less stupid. </p> -
They haven't seen their friend for 30 years?<br><br>
That's a bit shit. -

<p>Watched the first couple of eps of the new Star Wars Rebels animated series (on youtube). Quite cool and some good tie-ins with the movies without being heavy handed.</p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The main character is like a cross between Luke and Han as a teenager.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Certainly worth getting your kids onto so you have an excuse to watch cartoons.</p>

<p>Yes, I'm a geek but at least I'm not a trekkie.</p> -
<p>I don't know what this is but this preview has more good stuff that looks totally new</p>

<p>Might just be me but IMHO from what I can see so far the Star Wars JJ Abrams treatment looks farken awesome. Less of the unrealistic SFX of the Lucas era, very promising</p>
