<p>Just a smartarse comment from me that I can't believe that a badly acted franchise about cars going Brrrrrm, whssssh, brrrrrm can make it to 7 movies and be raking it in</p>

<p>I took to the series after the first couple (Mrs CF loves them). Sure they use a simple formula and the acting is not Oscar but they are well done. Racy cars, racy soundtracks, the movies look cool and they tap in well to pop culture. They don't take themselves too seriously and the ensemble cast are filled with different characters, something for everyone</p> -

<p>A little bit of wee came out.</p>
</p>

<p>As usual, some geeks has gone through the trailer still by still and given a take on what they think everything is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you haven't seen (or don't want to see) any story line speculation to date, you may not want to read this, but it is guesswork rather than an actual spoiler.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like it for the snapshot stills from the trailer where you can inspect the detail.</p>

<p>If you want to know some of the new canon that precedes the new movies then this is a good read. A series of books and videogames etc that fill in the gaps have been released and if you can't be bothered reading them, here is a summation of what is known so far (what happened after ROTJ etc)</p>

Couldn't show MN5 jrs this because the little shits stole licorice out of the cupboard last night and then lied about it. Tempted to be the good guy to them but then that undermines Mum.....fuck sake.....parenting is tough. <br><br>
Looks awesome, obviously the black dude is a storm trooper turned good ? <br><br>
I've also heard that the big tall bitch from GoT is a head storm trooper ?<br><br>
Just glimpses of Han Solo are so fucken exciting too, is he still piloting the falcon? -

<p>Damn that looks cool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But just one little thing.... is it horribly misogynistic of me to be a bit disappointed that the main character appears to be a chick. I'm sure she's cool and all that, but I was rather hoping for another Luke type character.</p> -
<p>I'm cool with Selene being an action hero.</p>

<p>Must watch clips in this thread tonight, TR Jnr will be keen too!</p>
