Speaking of Rose, where is she in this poster?

This looks like they're purposefully trying to fuck things up. I guess they're taking the pop music approach to Star Wars and making it incomprehensible to anyone over the age of 40 or so...

Jedi had some variety from Boushh & the bikini at Jabbas and the green fatigues but her outfits being similar in SW and ESB aren't much different than Rey.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Every single movie Leia had a different outfit.
ANH=princess gown
ESB=puffy jump suit with life preserver & the red and purple Bea Arthur outfit
ROTJ=Deja Thoris bikini, and the hippie garb

Rey's Jedi outfit when she fights Kylo in TLJ was good.
But her outfit for this poster looks boring.
I'm actually glad Lando will be making appearance but I think it's kind of odd that him and Han dress never changed their style in 40 years.

How the characters look is of utmost importance in a Star Wars film. A cool costume can make a character (like Bobba Fett) or break a character (Rose).
Damn, that's a good point about Rose. I actually liked her character despite her almost killing Finn to save his life. But yeah, her design is awful. Paige Tico had a more visually interesting look.

I can hardly make out her outfit with the big bright lightsaber in the way along with a bunch of cast members crowding her. She’s the white knight.

There’s a half dozen movies coming out this year that I’m looking forward to more than this. I never thought I’d feel this way about Star Wars.

Rey's costume reminds me of a combo of Luke in ANH and Padme in AOTC

Her wardrobe in Empire was completely different than Star Wars. Sorry, you’re just wrong.

I predict that guy is wrong, but maybe “Skywalkers” will be part of the title.

Maybe Return of the Skywalkers or something like that.

more Skywalkers, namely Rey being confirmed as one


Ooh, crazy thought that just came to me:
Spoiler:
so one of the other rumors I've read has Rey taking the name Skywalker as a sort of title (like Kylo took "Ren"). This would be part of the rejection of the whole Jedi/Sith and light side/dark side thing that keeps getting rehashed. If Luke really was the last Jedi, then the Jedi are truly extinct. Rey takes it upon herself to build a new order of Force-using warriors, while following a "grey" code. And she calls them "Skywalkers". Again, this is my own delusional ranting, don't take it as anything other than that.

I hope not. I think that would be really corny and fan-ficcy.

But the first two films of the sequel trilogy have boxed in the series so much that I don’t know if there’s any way out that doesn’t seem corny and forced. Reylo? The Jedi and Sith/KoR all becomes gray Force users? The Force awakened and everyone gets superpowers?

Gray Jedi has sort of been a fan obsession since TPM, and it is certainly a concept that could be explored, but I don’t think fundamentally changing the “Light” and “Dark” dynamic is a good idea. Star Wars has a fairly simplistic good vs evil thing going on, and I think that is part of its appeal, and it’s probably jot a good idea to attempt to change its DNA in a radical way. As I said, it is something that can be explored, walking the line between the Light and the Dark, but I don’t think the mythology should be fundamentally changed.

Spoiler:
I guess they need a strong subtitle for the next Star Wars.
Maybe in an era where audiences have short attentions spans, and there's too many spin-offs and expanded universe tales, Disney wants to keep it simple by using the most well-known words associated with Star Wars for the titles: SW: The Force Awakens, SW: The Last Jedi, SW: The Skywalkers

I don't think they've boxed themselves into a corner though.
In TLJ, it made it seem like Luke DIDN'T deviate from the Jedi ways, and made the same mistakes. The younger generation (Rey), saw that the old ways were flawed, so she'll continue the Jedi order but making changes to it.

The "Skywalkers" is a good theory but I don't think that Disney would abandon the "Jedi" name.
I think that more people will be Force sensitive than ever before, but they will still need a lot of training and teaching. Not just how to use the Force to fight, but to spread knowledge and peace. Despite the Jedi claiming that in previous films we never saw them do that. They were pretty much portrayed as space cops.

My approach to a storyline for Episode 9 should focus on Rey/Kylo Ren balancing the Force, and make it about the light and dark. Maybe they both have to sacrifice themselves to truly bring balance, since TLJ's narrative was one side always kept it out of balance. With Snoke/Luke dead, than it would happen again if Kylo Ren died at the end of Episode 9. That would make this Trilogy truly unique and wouldn't undercut the previous movies, as Luke/Anakin destroyed the Sith, and Rey/Ben Solo balanced the Force.

Kylo Ren better fucking die. No redemption for the guy who killed Han Solo. Even if he saves the universe in the end, fuck him. Killing him also ends the Skywalker line which is what they supposedly want in episode 9.

I don't see Chewie or Lando dying, too much backlash to kill off any more legacy characters. That includes the droids and the Falcon.

The only new heroes I can see dying would be Poe. He was supposed to die anyway. They will keep Rey alive for future movies regardless of what they/she says, and she's too much of an icon for little girl fans of Star Wars... and they already had the perfect way to kill Finn off in TLJ and botched it so you can't go back to that well again. Also it's too cliché to kill the black guy.

I don't know how they are going to end this, but I shudder to think it will be a bad guy vs an "I am Spartacus"esque scene of hundreds or thousands of Force sensitive nobodies banding together to defeat evil. Blech.

That poster, real or not, basically sums up this new trilogy for me. Lazy and plain bad. Too many to blame for the way these movies have been handled, but JJ and Rian are high on the list. Serious time should have been spent at least getting a full basis for a trilogy story arc before ever putting serious time for pen to paper. In my mind Rian should never be allowed near a big franchise again, its almost as if he hated the movie series and wanted to purposefully make a retarded sham of a movie. The new characters in this seri s are completely void of personality. It reminds me of the video by RedLetterMedia that asked people to describe characters from the OT to the PT and they had a hard time for the PT because they were souless. Same here as far as I see. Kylo Ren is the sole exception and I feel he could have been fantastic if everything else was different.

I never thought I would not be excited to see a new Star Wars movie, but after the last two and Solo, I could not give a shit. Shame as Rogue One was fantastic.

I disagree on Kylo. I think he’s one of many weak links. I just can’t buy him as a threatening villain in any way. He just reminds me of whiny Luke from A New Hope. Between him and the ginger, there’s no way the new order/empire stand a chance.

I like Kylo.

I think everyone has their own thoughts on how these movies should go because they are so attached to the franchise. I will see any and every star wars related movie that is made from now till the end of my time. lol =)

Then come back here and discuss whether they sucked or where great.

Maybe George envisioned that scene so many years ago when came up with the name.
