Corvinus85 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 So back from vacation where I had little access to internet, and this news hits. FFS. Personally I was expecting a new trailer to hit in the mean time. On the JJ appointment, I have mixed feelings. On the positive side, we know JJ is a big fan, and he's shown this with TFA. I'm certain he'll try to do his best. On the negative side, I don't know that his best is good enough. The flaws that TFA had are mainly due to his directing style. He doesn't really want to let the story to breathe, and he just wants to get to the big points as fast as possible. And as Ser Scot already pointed out, space is big, and even if Star Wars is not a hardcore SF story, but more of a fantasy story, there are still limitations that need to be respected. But JJ clearly doesn't care about this, as seen in his take on Star Trek. Furthermore, with Ep IX likely being JJ's last involvement with SW, he might say fuck it, and let loose the lens flare. (He abstained as much as he could on TFA) I hope the movie will have good writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen'ari Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Oooo can’t wait for the new trailer, not long to go now . Also, still calling it that Rey turns to the dark side, the light can have Kylo back, we don’t want him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Given Hamill and Johnson's comments about spoilers. I'm going to gauge how spoilery it is from you guys, and decide whether to watch it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've avoided the last Thor trailer and the new JL as well. With my luck, I'll avoid it only to see the SW trailer before Thor or JL.... Very likely now that I think about it. Damn.

The BlackBear Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 As a proud owner of an Empire Poster, they're definitely leaning into that vibe. We're getting a big speeder/walker fight (very Ep VI) ? Evil BB8 is on the poster! Phasma has a spear (will she get a chance to use it, or be unceremoniously thrown in the bin) ? Snoke's weird samurai guys make an appearance. Why is Renn's face healed, but Rey's arm is all fucked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two spoilers, though are Spoiler Luke, at least at first, will be afraid to teach Rey because of her strength in the Force, and there will be a fight between Finn and Phasma.

Rhom Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Oh and btw... the scene with Chewie giving the wookie roar and then you see the little penguin looking thing... that little fuzzball was everywhere at Disney last week. Every store that had anything Star Wars, Porg was front and center with the BB-9 droid. Its obvious they will be the two big merchandise pushes.

I do wonder about the tension build up with Spoiler Ben "Kylo Ren" Solo and Leia. Is that really a scene where he's about to take a shot to kill her? Or tricky trailer construction?

Astromech Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Excellent trailer. Teases just enough without revealing anything too important. 51 minutes ago, The BlackBear said: Why is Renn's face healed, but Rey's arm is all fucked up. Looks like her lightsaber is resting on her upper arm in that poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
