The tweets are coming so fast and furious that it just didn’t feel right to hold onto them for another week or two. So here’s the second batch from the weekend! Part 1, from Friday only, is just back that way.
Seeing #TheForceAwakens trailer with a full house & hearing kids belly laugh at the rolling droid and cheer as it ends is a beautiful thing.

The sand flying around as the Falcon almost hits the ground. The water splashing up behind the X-wings. All the awards for ILM please.

What I also love about #TheForceAwakens trailer is that everyone in it is showing a huge sense of urgency. #ShitIsGoingDown
— Collin Long (@MagicSpaceman) November 30, 2014
After watching @starwars #EpisodeVII trailer a bunch I realise what I love most is it plays like a thriller. Real stakes & real tension.
— Darren Hayes (@darrenhayes) November 30, 2014
Pretty much every hour I'm like, "You know what I should do? Watch Star Wars #TheForceAwakens trailer." And I do. And all is well.

Behold: the crossover you didn't know you wanted.

This weekend has been the Star Wars fandom at its finest. Ridiculously excited about something, still able to poke fun at the silly parts
— Brian (@LaneWinree) December 1, 2014
star wars has been trending for three days now :')
— peppermint caf (@nicolecieux) November 30, 2014
The buzz about #TheForceAwakens is amazing. Every1 working onthat film is busting their ass to make something amazing for you all, I promise
— Courtney Miller (@coamiller) November 30, 2014
Everything looks old, used, junky. Like, things have been around for a while. There's History here. Good art direction. #TheForceAwakens
— Bobby Gipson (@W4ffles) November 29, 2014
Literally every time a #TheForceAwakens image thumbnail shows up in my Twitter feed my daughter points at it and says “woah, I want that.”

Intriguing theories
What if the desert planet in #TheForceAwakens teaser isn't Tattooine – what if it's Lothal, this linking it directly to #StarWarsRebels? Hmm
— Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) November 30, 2014
More possible Lothal over Tattooine evidence. I'm only seeing on light source on that desert planet (though yes the 2 suns are close)
— Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) November 30, 2014
I think the trailer for "The Force Awakens" might have implied much more than we realized.
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) November 29, 2014
Think about the heroic archetypes of our leads in A New Hope…
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) November 29, 2014
Leia is an Imperial (rebel) above a desert planet. Luke is a farmboy hoping for something better on Tatooine. Solo is a devil-may care pilot
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) November 29, 2014
This trailer gives us: a hero dressed as in Imperial in the desert, what could be a farmgirl on a Tatooine-like planet, and a reckless pilot
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) November 29, 2014
Boyega is patterned from Leia. Ridley is our Luke Skywalker. Oscar Issac is our Han Solo.
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) November 29, 2014
I could be reading too much into it, and I'm sure it's much more complicated in the actual film, but I think this is what they're telling us
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) November 29, 2014
The light side
Let's take moment to consider the fact that the 1st trailer for the biggest most anticipated movie of the decade features zero white dudes.
— Jonathan McIntosh (@radicalbytes) November 28, 2014
"Boyega" is now my term for when something or someone is awesome. #TFA
— Tracy Cannobbio (@Tcann13) November 30, 2014
People complain about the X-Wings and TIE Fighters in #TheForceAwakens being too old. The F-4 Phantom was active in the USAF for 40 years.
— Michael Falkner (@womprat99) November 30, 2014
Something very Starkiller Hero about Daisy Ridley’s character pic.twitter.com/HBwHNq6N9L

.@brian_nov @clubjade Ball droid has no time for your outdated gender binaries.
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) November 30, 2014
Even if Boyega isn't the lead, he's still the first human face we see. He's an entry character. That's awesome.
— Brett Whitechristmas (@brettwhite) November 29, 2014
I still think the lightsaber heard at the very end of the teaser is the sound of one turning on.
— Erika (@brownjawa) November 29, 2014
It's also very clean and polished sounding—what we are used to hearing. The light side "awakening" to the crackle of the dark.
— Erika (@brownjawa) November 29, 2014
The best #StarWars trailer special effect is whatever razor made Oscar Isaac stubble free. pic.twitter.com/3NqtX9KROr

These Episode I concepts seem strangely relevant these days. From the same artists who work on The Force Awakens pic.twitter.com/I9ewdH6pkQ

How about that Star Wars teaser?!! It's got this fan all excited. #theforceawakens #starwars pic.twitter.com/MwbaoS91fw
— Jake Parker (@mrjakeparker) November 29, 2014
Who would have guessed that #TheForceAwakens would be the film bridge the gap between the races, with rank #Fanboy stupidity.
— Arrogant Alien (@SonofArrogance) November 30, 2014
Obviously the black guy from Rebels is related to the black guy from the new movie because mythology and also I have no imagination.
— Eric Geller (@ericgeller) December 1, 2014
There's already seven novels about that soccer ball droid from the Star Wars trailer.

The dark side
How to deal with concern re: lightsaber design: 1.Imagine you are six 2. Check to see if physical reality matters a damn 3. Enjoy the show
— Colum Slevin (@colum) November 30, 2014
Great job by @lmckale to get the boy hooked on @starwars #theforceawakens pic.twitter.com/B2NBxDkeJ4
— Rene McKale (@rsmckale) November 29, 2014
People are talking about the cross guards but not so much about how the beam seems less coherent and almost flame-like. #TheForceAwakens
— neontaster (@neontaster) November 30, 2014
If a hilt guard was required for the lightsaber design brief, this is how I would have done it. #TheForceAwakens pic.twitter.com/EycZHV6yTA
— Mark Quessey (@MarkQuessey) November 30, 2014
The new lightsaber design is unrealistic, but so is a talking green frog like creature who moves spaceships with his mind. #TheForceAwakens
— Greg Bevier (@GregBevier) November 30, 2014
Look I found one of them newfangled lightsabers #starwars #lightsaber #TheForceAwakens pic.twitter.com/bTBUiHykRo
— Sebastian Charles (@sbstnchrls) November 29, 2014
I am positive that JJ & the rest of the production crew recognized the potential flaws in the cross hilt sabers design & planned accordingly
— Elaine Tveit (@tveitlight25) November 29, 2014
Don't not forget that we haven't even seen the saber in action. I'm willing to bet that its totally practical w/ the right fighting style.
— Elaine Tveit (@tveitlight25) November 29, 2014
New drinking game: do a shot every time a Tweet about the lightsaber in #TheForceAwakens trailer pops up on your TL.
— Brad Abraham (@NotBradAbraham) November 29, 2014
Dear people arguing about the combat effectiveness of #StarWars #lightsabers. I refer you to Grant Morrison. pic.twitter.com/zmpo1PufBd
— Dennis Detwiller (@drgonzo123) November 29, 2014
Fandom is awesome because we argue about the use of fiery cross-guards on a LASER SWORD. #StarWarsTheForceAwakens
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) November 29, 2014
The Millennium Falcon…
Still so dang excited about seeing that old hunk o' junk climb and roll like a YT-1300 half her age. #TheForceAwakens
— Mediocre Jedi (@MediocreJedi) November 30, 2014
Rewatching the Star Wars trailer, my girl asked how the Falcon isn't a pile of junk by now. I was all "it has a square radar dish now so.."
— Julian Louis Blair (@JLB_Tosche) November 30, 2014
That Star Wars teaser trailer yesterday was the first time the Millennium Falcon has been seen on screen in 31 years. Wow. #TheForceAwakens
— Frank (@fxgibbons) November 29, 2014

— Matt Zoller Seitz (@mattzollerseitz) November 29, 2014
For real though the Falcon doing that "swimming through space" move is all I need in my life right now. #TheForceAwakens
— Wakandan BenHaMeen (@djbenhameen) November 29, 2014
The MIA
Fully expected Luke, Leia, and/or Han in #TheForceAwakens teaser but the sounds & images we saw were so powerful I didn't even miss them.
— Erich Stevens (@erichstevens) November 30, 2014
Realizing that we still haven't got a hint to who Domhnall Gleeson is playing in #TheForceAwakens
— Jonathan Maurer (@JonMaurer_Power) November 30, 2014
Snark
You think Chris Pratt's team of Raptors in Jurassic World is cool? Wait 'til you see Oscar Isaac's pack of Liam Neesons!
— Star Wars 7 Spoilers (@TheFarceAwakens) November 30, 2014
Joke'll be on all of us when Benedict Cumberbatch shows up and is playing Trioculus. #TheForceAwakens #SWEU
— Brian (@LaneWinree) November 29, 2014
Wanna feel old? The new Star Wars trailer is now as old as the original Star Wars trailer was the day after it came out.

Just a quick note from someone you don’t know to let you know how much your site and the work you are doing is appreciated. I’ve been a fan since the OT and Club Jade is the only site I am following (aside from sw.com) in the build up to TFA. You provide comprehensive coverage with warmth, humor, genuine enthusiasm, and sarcasm that pokes holes in all the right bubbles. Thanks for providing the reasonable fan’s guide to SW, and thanks for putting in the hours to allow people like me to keep up with what’s going on without the spoilers or nastiness.
Thank you! :D
