Astromech Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Excellent. Got me excited for the film. A few theories already spinning in my head, damn it! Visually it looked great. Wondering who the short character is in those scenes with R2 and, with whom I assume, Luke and Rey. Made me think of Yoda, but hoping it's Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I can't describe why I am so underwhelmed by that. Maybe its because I've felt zero urge to re-watch force awakens, maybe its because the trope of 'training up an apprentice' is so tired these days, maybe its because I'm all 'Starwars'ed' out after Rogue One. I don't know, I'm just not feeling much of a buzz about this movie at all, maybe when I learn more about it I will feel my stomach butterflies, but until then I'm pretty meh about it.

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Very pretty and I'm excited, but yeah I'm moderately underwhelmed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Well I'm excited for this after the trailer even if others were underwhelmed. It is, after all, only a teaser, and I'm suitably teased. Gorgeous shots of the planet Rey is on, lots of battles teased (I thought I saw AT ATs too), brief shots of each character. As a teaser it was wonderful, just the right amount of footage to leave me wanting more but not so much as to give things away. Pretty sure there was a shot of Phasma walking out of some smoke/flames. Hopefully given a better role that TFA. No sign of Snoke but I have no doubt we'll see him. Wonder how long Finn will be out of action in this film. I hope not too long. I thought that was Luke at the end speaking about the Jedi having to end. But I'm not the best at matching voices to actors so it could have been someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leofric Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I like how it started, it first looked like a field of stars, then a planet surface and then it's just a boulder. It workd for me as a good teaser. The one shot looked like Phasma was in involved in the destruction of Luke's Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 It is Luke's voice. I strongly suspect he sees the problem of the Jedi is that they reject passion and emotion. I strongly suspect he's see's the "Jedi code" as part of the problem. Hence we hear Rey talking about "balance". I'm willing to put money that what luke will be doing is saying that there is no "light side v. dark side" dichotomy. That what matters is how the Force is used and why not "which side is used".

That what matters is how the Force is used and why not "which side is used". And I'll be really happy if that's the direction the films are going in. I mean, it had been implied since RotJ that this is the message of Star Wars, if there is one - neither Luke nor Vader/Anakin are motivated by the rejection of personal ties and emotion at the end.So if this happens, it would be consolidating what the prequels + RotJ have already set up. I hope that the last film has a chance to sketch out how this new "balanced" idea of the Force would work in practice - that it doesn't just end with Ren/Rey/Finn/any surviving main characters having a cathartic and inspiring but extremely vague exchange about the failure of the Sith/Jedi dark/light system.

BigFatCoward Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 when i heard 'teaser' i wasn't expecting that much, well done disney, some teasers are just fucking pointless. beautifully shot, no huge plot give away, i liked it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yeah, it's definitely Luke's voice. The audio balance was off, so the music was drowning out the voices, but I sacrificed for the forum and watched it multiple times. Quote Luke: Breathe.... Just breathe... Now. Reach out. What do you see? Rey: Light. Darkness. It's a balance. It's so much bigger. Luke: I only know one truth. it's time for the Jedi to end. One truth?? ONE TRUTH? ONLY THE SITH DEAL IN ABSOLUTES! ahem ETA: It's worth watching the Last Jedi panel from Celebration. After being grilled (again) from Josh Gad, Daisy talks a bit about part of Rey's journey is around her expectations aroud her training and how meeting your her doesn't always turn out how you expect.

Relic Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Honestly this is about all they need to release before the movie comes out. Maybe a few more brief shots, but i don;t want to know the plot of this movie strictly from watching trailers. I know they will likely give us much more but I'm good with what we just saw. They basically have my money for as long as im alive, the franchise exists, the Drumpf doesn't end the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Next-gen A-wing in the space scenes? Although it looks more like a Jedi starfighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely a shot an A wing. I'm more exited about the new resistant ships which are not like anything that we have ever seen. They have a little bit of the hammerhead corvette look to them. As far as the trailer goes, I have only seen it a few dozen times so far, so my reaction is still early. I absolutely love it. The helmet is Kylo Ren's. I wonder if he breaks it himself in another fit. There is glass all around it, and it is smoking like it might have been on display and hit with a lightsaber. Could he still be conflicted? Also, the thing I am most intrigued by is the shot of what appears to be books surrounded by trees. Could this be a library of Yoda on Degobah? The voice of Yoda can very faintly be heard right there, but I can not for the life of me make out what is said. Finally, I think the speculation that we will lose the Jedi is a bit premature. This may just be Luke's defeated response at the beginning of the movie. All in all, I can not wait. What a great celebration weekend so far, and what an amazing trailer. I have watched almost all of it. Starwars.com is rocking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shot and Luke and Rey with a third small character on the Skellig Michael location. Phasma wouldn't be the first to escape a trash compactor Have we previously seen that image Rey is tracing with her finger when she mentions balance? It looks very familiar.
