>>12452827
is star wars /m/? honest question
>>12452844
Yes. We have had multiple threads discussing Star Wars before, with no interference from mods. This place had like four different threads that spawned from the teaser trailer.
>>12452844
Yes but they rarely ever stay on topic.
>>12452827

95% of Sci-Fi is /m/

Why the fuck is everything so clean and sterile looking so far in this movie?

>Not keeping your armor spick and span
You'll never get anywhere with THAT sloppy attitude son.
>>12452952
It's probably the use of CGI you're seeing, but it's a huge improvement over the prequels. Personally I'd like to see a resurgence of practical effects but god knows that isn't going to happen.
>>12452952
BB-8 has some smudges on him, and I can't recall many instances in the films when stormtroopers were anything but a clean basic white.
Or chalk it up to a lot of return concept artists from the PT like Doug Chiang who favor more sleek designs.
>>12452827
Stormtrooper: Combat Evolved.
>>12453022
By clean, I mean even, sleek etc. They look like fucking Apple products with the designs.
>>12452952
That droid is not clean. And imperial stormtroopers were always shiny, even on Tatooine.
>>12453005
>use of CG
The ball droid thing is all practical effects you know.
That stormtrooper suit isn't any cleaner than the old stormtroopers either.
>>12452844
Yes, but talking about something that the average person actually knows about harshes /m/'s hipster cred.
>>12453046
Go look at the opening scene of A New Hope, and realize the Tantive IV interior is basically iPod themed. Shiny surfaces, slick white plastic, glassy screens. It's always been there.
>>12452844
Have you only been here for 45 minutes or something
>>12452827
I wasn't really a fan of the helmet when we first saw it, but the full package is alright.
Just hope we get a bunch of interesting new designs as well as the rehashes of the classics. The prequels were terrible films but they had a lot of interesting ship/droid/creature/costume/world design
>>12453534
It's not bad, but personally I think it's a step back compared to some of the clone trooper armor.
>>12453059
That's really not that farfetched either, since Stormtroopers probably have a lot of time to brush up their uniforms and an expectation to do so. Militaries can be pretty anal about having uniforms be neat and tidy, and it's beaten into soldiers from the get-go (at least in America).
Of course there are obvious exceptions. You can only keep your uniform so tidy when you're in a desert.
>>12453568
Clone Trooper armor seemed more like actual combat wear. But this stormtrooper armor seems really bare in comparison (mainly only small blaster and no pronounced pouches) and could be more comparable to police-wear?
Here's hoping that we see some more militarized stormtrooper armor when we reach the climax.

First spin-off. Looks like you guys finally get your pilot waifu lead.I hope to God she doesn't learn how to use the force.
>>12453582
It's got the same pouches as the OT Stormtroopers.
>>12453568
Ahh, phase II. The perfect blend of Republic and Imperial aesthetics.
>>12453589
Fuck, did not mean to fuck up spoiler that badly.How do you quick spoil again? ctrl+s?
>>12453589
Nigga we already had several waifu pilots in Star Wars.
>>12453005
>resurgence of practical effects
At least we have Pacific Rim.
>>12453534
The story is decades after the events of the Return of the Jedi. It makes sense that technology would've progressed and made shit slicker than before.
>>12453038
Is it bad that I want this? Because I really, really, REALLY want this.
>>12453745
only thing that bothers me about that design is the spider eyes in the stomach
>>12452952
>>12453005
It's a filter they're using that seems to blur out a lot of the details. Could be intentional to help the practical blend in with the CG but I don't like it much.
>>12452980
