Two more years... not sure I can wait that long!

And I doubt that it will be explained worth a damn in the movie either.

Well...it wouldn't be a discussion the Internet if we didn't all jump to conclusions and hate it before the movie is out.

It has nothing to do with hate.  Just that I don't expect much of an explanation from the movie.  They never explain in the first film how the Deah Star got from point A to B.  But we assumed that because it was a man-made "moon" that it had thrusters of some sort to propel it around the galaxy.  The explanation for why a planet has a giant laser gun sticking out of it will be a little more far fetched. 

well apparently I know of at least one person that did

tell us o master of blocks what do you see

A thorough analysis indicates support beams holding back a wall, which separates the planet material from the man made structure...almost like a dam.  Also, a haze is seen around the perimeter of the "round thing,"  possibly indicating an atmosphere.  It is also possible this weapon harnesses the inner core of the planet, thus the red/orange hue.  I also do not see any lights on the rest of the "round thing," besides the ones near the main gun structure, so maybe it's built on just a small portion of a small planet.  The surface also has haphazard formations indicating possible mountains or rough terrain.  How's that?  LOL

Why does it have to be a variation of DS or a weapon for the dark side?  It could be Coruscant's latest defense system

 

ETA: Nvm I have a habit of giving the writers too much credit

1. excellent

2. speechless

3. I feel like I have just listened to an audio book by David McCullough

thank you !

Yes, this is a point I made yesterday.  It could be a Rebel Alliance base/ship.

There's a trench and exhaust port on there somewhere.

I am all for the good guys

but normally bad guy stuff sells way better than good guy stuff

Don't forget the black and yellow "chevron-like stickers" on those giant retaining walls which implies that the "weapon" may extend outward from within the planet (which will take forever to deploy giving the attacking force plenty of time to form a plan). Or it's a giant spacecraft that docks within the planet's core.

Just wait, the "planet" will probably turn out to be a floating orb like those from Phantasm but the size of BB-8. Poster components aren't to scale, heh.

Ahhhh, it's unicron!

Phantasm...great movie, but many on this site probably never heard of it.

Philistines!

Philistines!

Phantasm was "old school."  Many members weren't even born yet (1979).  LOL.  Emazers is probably a fan.

Here we have some nice lightsaber sounds

Raises hand... I may have been young in 1979, but schooled in the ways of the old masters. Phantasm is required viewing for horror writers.

Ed nailed it, it all makes sense now! The core of the planet is a giant ball of the crystals used to create the lightsaber blades! That isn't a cannon hole, it's a lightsaber blade hole! Think about it, it only makes sense! Lightsabers are stronger than blasters, so the next step in progression of upgrading a planet sized weapon with a massive blaster is a planet sized weapon with a massive lightsaber! It will be the most unstoppable thing ever in the history of ever! Just mowing down multiple rebel flagships with a single swipe all like voom vroom woosh! Mind freakin' blown!!

If someone could give me a rough sketch of a giant ball with a giant lightsaber sticking out of it, this might help put things in perspective... lol.

The circle is now complete. 

There's a trench and exhaust port on there somewhere.

there is a blue hue that envelops the entire globe, hence not possible to even fly near it without permission. This sets up a plot to infiltrate the starkiller base to either destroy it from within or deactivate the shield.

Pretty cool Ep 4 poster in Ep 7 style.
