At least George Lucas never put an Ewok in the Millennium Falcon cockpit.

Nah, they wouldn't spoil (or even tease) something that major in a trailer. They're just screwing with the fan's expectations here.

Spoiler:
Hamill mentioned at NYCC last weekend that the filmmakers will have to find a way to close Leia's story out in a respectful way with Episode IX, as she was intended to have a more prominent role in that one.

Good Trailer as I'm starting to wonder if this whole Trilogy is really about Kylo Ren's character arc?

Agreed...he looks and sounds just about perfect....almost Gandalfish. Love the compositions in these shots...nothing looks overly busy, noisy...there's just a real nice look to it.

Edit: Well, I was mistaken, after checking Letterboxd, I saw Episode 7 the Monday after release. Not sure when I'll get around to this one, but trailer looked good, so sometime during the week. Will avoid the insane theater on the weekend of.

Well it's about the balance of dark and light. They wouldn't make Rey so powerful if it wasn't also about her.

Looks fan-fucking-tastic. I can't wait for this movie. Looks like it's going in some pretty dark directions.

Watched the trailer, bought our tickets immediately after. Cannot. Wait. Just the metal Luke hand was enough for me.

And I love that I’ve gotten to see these revamped movies with our kids.

Might go watch it just to see the First order kill some major characters. The movies might be redeemed if Mary Sue goes to the dark side.

Looks great! I got tickets for Thursday 6pm (the fan event) and an IMAX 2D showing on Saturday afternoon.

That looks great, and I’m ready to watch Jedi Master Luke totally wrecking shit up.

I think the Leia thing is a misdirection. I’m thinking they’ll use some footage in 9 to finish her story.

Surprised nobody is talking about the final scene of the trailer.

Cool.


My guess is Rey becomes a double agent. I wouldn't be surprised if the film ends with us believing Rey has fallen to the Dark Side. Talk about a cliff hanger!

Given that it looks like Rey is stronger than Kylo Ren, and Ren's fear in TFA was being pulled to the light side, I still think they switch places in E9 setting up the next trilogy.

To me, the real question marks remain Luke and Snoke, and this trailer makes it appear like Snoke does indeed have powerful force powers. If he does turn out to be a sith, he will want the stronger apprentice which is most likely Rey.

I'm thinking....
Spoiler:
Rey is seduced by Snoke and then he has no more use for Kylo...which then sets up his redemption.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (12/15/17, W/D: Rian Johnson)

Hmm... trailer has a much darker tone than the teaser.

Wonder if this will be like:
Mission Impossible III - Last Jedi opens with Snoke and Kylo torturing Rey then we move to Luke training Rey and how she got captured.
Kate Kid III: Rey ditches Luke as a teacher and goes to Kylo for training.

Then of course Luke sacrifices himself to save Rey and in Ep9, Kylo redeems himself by killing Snoke.
