Star Wars The Force Awakens Europe Premiere- intro

[@-ghost-1367]

The intro and the audience cheering gives me chills every single time

[@Nick94956]

I still remember sitting in the theater on the night of the premiere and still not fully believing that I was seeing a new Star Wars movie until the music actually hit and then it really sunk in when I saw "Episode VII"

[@UserRobot215]

Nick94956 Yep. The last one I was able to watch in theaters was Revenge of the Sith, I was like 6 back then. As soon as I saw in theaters the nostalgia did hit me.

[@colin4758]

Oh yeah that was totally me. I guess it hadn't really set in yet and then the opening crawl starts and I'm like "I'm watching a Star Wars movie that I've never seen before". It was also a big moment and event for me because it was the first Star Wars movie I ever saw in theaters.

[@kidofsteel0362]

Same!

[@CamoSquid]

Same. Not on the premiere, but I still remember the feeling

[@CamoSquid]

@@crazyalarmstudios2012 yep, felt the same way

[@erbhee2939]

After the amount of times I've seen the opening crawl, I still get amazed

[@pikkuadi]

+Nova Dat first line.

[@AlasdairGR]

It doesn’t matter whether or not you end up liking the Star Wars film you’re seeing in theatres. There is nothing that can replicate the experience and shared anticipation you get with the opening crawl. It’s exhilirating and so special every single time.

[@megandunklin6147]

I Was There! It wasn't just a movie, it was the event of a lifetime.

[@dundundundun8816]

“WHOOOOO!” “Luke Skywalker has vanished.” “WHAT?!”

[@aidanchiu2195]

The iconic opening crawl....... one of the absolute icons of the SW franchise with one of the best music ever heard in a movie. The opening crawl is really just art, everything is orchestrtated, like how the music starts as the icon of star wars appears, its so perfect for such an iconic franchise

[@maxeisenhardt8800]

SW is the franchise that has the most iconic, epic and exhilarating opening of all time and yet, LucasFilm could not include it for Rogue One. Damn it. I'd understand if it was for the (unnecessary) Han Solo spin-off, but for a story that demands some context such as Rogue One, it really needs an opening crawl. Heck, that kind of reactions is one of the things that makes SW so great. I don't want to have that missing from a SW film.

[@matthewk4912]

Rogue One is a Star Wars film that's not in the main episodic Saga. The Saga will reserve that special, very core Star Wars feeling.

[@JPQFilms]

Max Eisenhardt In about a year they'll have a crawl. ;)

[@780d4]

Matthew Kang It needed the crawl, out of all the SW movies Rogue One was the most needing a crawl. Not for us die hard fans but for the casual viewer. Can you imagine how lost some people would have been?

[@Vossen202]

I think seeing Jyn as a child and her family is a pretty good crawl if you're just looking at the story of Rogue One and beyond. Also, as you've mentioned, Disney are currently producing a Han Solo movie, so I think it has its reason.

[@inefekt]

yet it was the best of the Disney SW films by far

[@asbestos1502]

Seeing the Star Wars crawl and the opening score cause all that cheering just makes my chest tighten up, it truly brings up a happiness I cannot explain with words...

[@Blind_Hawk]

Even though Episode 7 was basically a remastered version of Episode 4, the experience watching it was amazing.

[@igotashake]

I wish I had that audience when I watched the movie

[@igotashake]

Adam Tatti Oh, thank you!

[@olleronn616]

Very similar experience during Swedish premiere. There is something truly fantastic about these movie openings.

[@average_joe8905]

3:28 Star Wars is back and has been so successful. Long live the Star Wars Franchise!

[@MaxToThePower]

And to think all the excitement for this trilogy was for nothing. I was so happy after watching this one, it was pure magic. Then VIII and IX happened.

[@Solarek]

I agree 100%

[@wouter-it-is]

Nah it was amazing!

[@CamoSquid]

Yeah, it's truly unfortunate how it ended up after all the initial hype

[@WouterTV]

Best saga ever 🤩

[@ironforge8493]

That was the exact reaction when i went to the premier.....chills all over man !!!!

[@kharjai5433]

I am SO fucking glad they kept the original intro for the Star Wars movies :D

[@mobal8689]

At 5:11, that is a Resurgence class Star Destroyer. Name's Finalizer.

[@ShakeSoft]

+Mo Bal I really hope someday we will see a Star Destroyer actually flying and fighting!

[@JurassicProductions]

+Steve Rogers OH HELL NAWW!!!

[@teshiku1249]

I went to see episode 9 around a month back and the opening DUN! Just made me so hyped

[@MikeM236]

4:09 to 4:12 i love that part of the song idk something ab it just gives me chills

[@thatitguy9576]

We had so much hope back then...

[@DuhAverageJoe]

Oh how I would have loved to be in that audience!

[@benv7933]

This was awesome!!! LOVED this sooooooo much!!!!!

[@gabethedinosaur95]

I remember seeing the force awakens 6 years ago with my friend Marcus and we absolutely loved it and it felt so awesome to be back in the galaxy with our favorite character.

[@benv7933]

Imagine with episode 9

[@average_joe8905]

This movie was so good I saw it twice once in IMAX 3D and the second in 2D the IMAX 3D was better.

[@ThePoreproductions]

+The Dominator Hey, so did I.

[@popefrancis7048]

watched it 7 times

[@average_joe8905]

Nice.

[@thitran1362]

+Pope Francis wait I thought pope Francis and the Vaticans doesn't like the Star Wars

[@cbacara3711]

So good

[@zcm007attack]

I remember seeing this in theatres Xmas day and when the big Star Wars title came up the crowd was just exploding lol

[@Camo_Live]

“JJ Ab-rams” “Daisy Riley” “laser swords” who chose this guy to introduce the movie

[@DarthDimadome]

Whenever I see vids like these, they're usually from the US with other people from Europe commenting about "those dumb Americans" yelling and screaming at the screen. I'm just gonna link this video to them from now on.

[@angelomontanaro1582]

Brandon Silbor All Star Wars Fans are like This. Mostly all the Cheering and Yelling come from America

[@karatekat78]

That opening shot tho. Having the silhouette of the star destroyer was such a brilliant idea

[@SkullZThe_Skeleton]

This is something I will never be able to experience for the first time ever again. Going to a theater and seeing the opening crawl is awesome kinda like the marvel studios intro

[@swf4841]

My arse literally contracts for 3 seconds, between the blue text and the logo.

[@midnightflare9879]

"Luke Skywalker has vanished." Audience: *visable confusion.*

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

This is the only film saga in cinema history where the entire movie watching planet celebrate when even its trailer is shown.

[@megandunklin6147]

I still tear up! I was there at the screening and the premiere.

I gotta be honest, the ideas of Force Awakens (except Starkiller base and Rey beating Kylo Ren), the first order, knights of kylo ren, a new dark force user Snoke These ideas were great, I loved them. But last jedi ruined everything and now people hate TROS because of TLJ, that's my point of view

[@k1w1dr3ss]

the dude waving a lightsaber is my spirit animal

[@Sofvia4]

I was the one who made noise in the audience lmao, other people then joined in too to share the excitement 😂

[@TheUnknown0079]

LOL! Everyone got excited over the BBFC logo! Heh, I guess the BBFC logo is something to celebrate over since, well it means the movie is about to start.

[@jeddave3645]

3:27 brings a tear to my eyes

[@Adam-ur1qj]

I don't know what the audience was laughing about on 2:59

[@euron5286]

Someone maked a Chewbacca sound.

[@queencancerous5332]

One of the best movie theater memories was seeing this opening weekend and the crowd erupting into applause when the fanfare started playing, its a shame that the movie that followed wasn't very good.

[@thehorroruniverse3338]

Shhh shhh OPENING BEGINS The guy who shouted shhh: YEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[@midnightflare9879]

I love how everyone cheers as the movie starts...but as soon as they see the opening crawl and realize what a mess it is, they all remain silent.

[@inefekt]

No, they just realised that it was time to shut up and enjoy the movie

[@technowarriorstv]

buzz aldrin michael collins several space shuttle astronauts gene kranz Chris craft were there as well THATS HOW FUCKING BIG THIS WAS

[@Obenfiquista81]

What a night!!!!

[@technowarriorstv]

this day next year :( dec 16 2016 rouge one :( sts 225 killing all 7 crew members

[@mattheone2297]

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

Goosebumps....

[@technowarriorstv]

Orbit and meco at 5:14

[@Raziel01]

5:10 they gave the middle finger to everyone

[@DPgotpower]

Goosebumps

[@mobal8689]

My people's reaction to this... i am a Filipino.. just quiet.

[@migoabuel27]

Me too the IMAX crowd was silent during the crawl but they laughed at the scenes and applauded during the end. The second crowd was dead barely laughing.

[@ShakeSoft]

+Mo Bal Star Wars is not strong in Asia ?

[@TooCooFoYou]

+Steve Rogers I've read that it's tradition to not make noise during the movie, as it is rude.

[@BigOlBatman]

Holy crap they were screaming during nothing

[@technowarriorstv]

This is also the the return of flight of the greatest flying machine ever made and you are go for launch sts 224 one year after this the space shuttle would blow up again killing everyone on board

[@murtazarizvi368]

why arent there any die hard star wars fans in my country? i saw TPM 3d and TFA and no one cheered when the crawl started.

[@technowarriorstv]

Another fun fact George Lucas was going to fly on millennium falcon the name chosen for the return to flight of the space shuttle but he could not pass the physical for the flight

[@kanavlodha9467]

I want to see all star wars movies in india🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@RinkuGupta-sz1op]

epic.....epic...

[@bmcfad12]

Love the opening credits, but looking back just overall disappointing trilogy.

[@kingofgoldnessr9364]

And then the fucking oscars are gonna be like, "umm, the forc awakns isn good enuf lolz.... The award goes to en asien 50 year old animashen that nobuddy knows lolz mad?"

[@NostalgiaReaper]

LMAO so true

[@TooCooFoYou]

+Kingofgoldness RBLX RR In all honesty, Star Wars Ep. VII had strong competitions for the Oscars...

[@Fugnuk2047]

Why the FUCK do they need to clap at everything?

[@JPQFilms]

Mark Leonhart Cmon they’re having fun. Besides, this is a midnight showing.

[@Spamus]

Ok it's one thing to cheer but people with lightsabers need to chill.

[@NebLleb]

Ah, yes. A Long time ago, the last Star Wars movie was The Clone Wars, a vile piece of dreck that made the other 3 prequels look like The Empire Strikes Back in comparison. Rather than retain the iconic theme and opening crawl, Clone Wars chose to do an awful remix of the theme, and the crawl was replaced by a WW2-esque narrator. To say fans were furious would be an understatement, and it served as a prelude to the disaster that was to follow. 7 years later, The Force Awakens comes out. Fans went in skeptical, and quite rightfully so; they had been burned four times before, and they went in with caution. The lights dimmed, the curtain went up, and the projector rolled. The iconic 'Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far Away' card showed on the screen and faded out, leading to... _The iconic theme song blaring in all of its John Williams-composed glory for the first time since 2005, with the logo fully intact, busting on the screen._ And seconds later, that oh-so glorious opening crawl begins to roll, leaving little doubt that we were in good hands and that Star Wars was *BACK!*

[@ameen2947]

And tomorrow Star Wars will be back in theaters, with The Last Jedi!

[@NebLleb]

And from the looks of things... It might be the best one out of the Disney era. Screw the haters. Oh, and regarding Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I'm not kidding about it being a 'vile piece of dreck'.The plot is about _saving Jabba's son,_ which makes ZERO sense in context of the original six-film run (*especially* Return of the Jedi) and is extremely jarring after Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the character designs look like Winx Club rejects, the humour, dialogue and writing in general is cringe-worthy, continuity is shat on (Anakin gets a teenage apprentice, something that was NEVER alluded to in the originals, prequels, or the legends canon up to that point), the music is terrible, some of the characters manage to *one-up* Jar Jar Binks in terms of annoyance, and like I said, NOT EVEN THE THEME AND OPENING CRAWL ARE SAFE! See what I mean when I say it makes the other 3 prequels look like Empire in comparison?

[@General_C]

*I am... So sorry for your loss...*

[@kayrographics]

too bad the sequel trilogy fucking sucks, disney destroyed star war

[@fightgamevideos2256]

Nerds

[@Mikemic2218]

[@mojoofftherobo]

[@Mikemic2218]

[@mojoofftherobo]

[@Mikemic2218]

[@JPQFilms]

MikeMic productions wait till you see the Mary Poppins Leia scene

[@myttydohun4851]

If there’s even 1 person in theatres to see the rest of the garbage sequel trilogy I will be incredibly surprised. Holy shit these movies are hot trash.
