This teaser thing reminded me of the "To the End" trailer Marvel did a week (?) before Endgame. It got me super-hyped. I also thought that Endgame was almost the perfect end to Phases 1-3. I liked Force Awakens a lot, and I love Abrams's visual style. I'm really hoping that he gives us a great payoff. To be honest, I wasn't that hyped until this new trailer. Probably too caught up emotionally with MCU. That trailer gave me chills at times. Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This here, and the fact that Abrams made everyone seem "human" again in TFA (unlike the wooden CGI mess that was I-III) is what gives me hope for #9. But as I alluded to before, his tendency for derivation is something to remain very cautious of. I give TFA a pass because the Star Wars franchise was desperately in need of a movie that would make Star Wars enjoyable again. It was the safe route, and it proved very effective. At this point though, the franchise should be moving past safe. Unfortunately, since The Last Jedi was so horrid, I worry it will cause Abrams to go that route once more.

How many elements can he borrow from ROTJ tho? There's no one to save from a Jabba type character and place. Are they going to reconstruct a new Starkiller Base? I really hope not lol. Freaking 3 of those things have been destroyed by rebels in the last 50 years. Even if they do, I think there's no way they keep a shield on a planet full of furball creatures. They already disposed of the Emperor like character (Snoke). Obviously the Emperor himself is back tho. I'm not sure that there's much to worry about. I would definitely like something that ACTUALLY subverts my expectations, rather than they constant grasp at that idea in TLJ that failed miserably. I can't believe its only 4 months away.

Sadly i think there is another starkiller like base! Did you see that big red laser beam strike? It will be so trite if they have yet another death star type thing! Anyway, I like that they finally have them all together instead of always separated! I love seeing Carrie Fisher too! I hope they have a good ending for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there does seem to be another fleet battle coming, so there are minor things he can grasp at. There's no one to save from a Jabba type character and place. True. Now if it was Rian Johnson, we'd quite possibly see Flying Space Leia save carbon frozen Lando from Java the Hutt who originally thought he was buying a Lando replica off ebay.gffa but was pleasantly surprised to find he received the real Lando instead. Backstory would be that Lando had reacquired Bespin some years after the events of ROTJ, and in a plot cleverly disguised as a work related mishap, he got pushed into the carbon freezer by the security guy with the gadget attached to the back of his head after he was paid off by Benicio del Toro. Are they going to reconstruct a new Starkiller Base? I really hope not lol. You and me both. Freaking 3 of those things have been destroyed by rebels in the last 50 years. Even if they do, I think there's no way they keep a shield on a planet full of furball creatures. I posited this in another thread - who keeps backing the loans for these giant planet blower upper mechanisms? They already disposed of the Emperor like character (Snoke). Obviously the Emperor himself is back tho. Emperor Palpitation coming back worries me the most. Seems awfully unimaginative to trot him back out at this point, he should've been making cameos right off the bat in TFA if he's going to play some sizeable role. It's not like he's some great secret, he's been around since Episode I. How he survived his Death Star reactor tour should've been the central mystery to why he's still kicking around. I'm not sure that there's much to worry about. I would definitely like something that ACTUALLY subverts my expectations, rather than they constant grasp at that idea in TLJ that failed miserably. I can't believe its only 4 months away. Yes, they need to flush TLJ completely and do it to it with this movie. Not sure if they can though.

Didn't you see RJ's great vision from that side quest? The rich pay for the endless Star War! Palpatine would have to be the greatest expectation being subverted. No idea how they're gonna do it, but feeling optimistic right now. Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it completely ruins ROTJ, but I guess they already did they with TFA & TLJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever, they'll have to have convincing reasons for his life away, and return. I don't think TFA hurts ROTJ at all. TLJ basically ruined everything tho.

TFA does ruin ROTJ a bit because it sets back Han,Luke, & makes the Rebel alliance rebels again when they should have been the standing order TLJ is just a cluster !

TFA further develops Han and Luke after their family expands. Doesn't set them back. Luke screwed up with Ben and went into hiding a la Yoda (his reasoning in TLJ is nonsense tho). Han's marriage falls apart and they both fall back to what they're good at. Han being a scoundrel lol. Kylo Ren puts the First Order together with Snoke. It is "Star WARS" after all. The good guys have always fought tyranny. I personally think TFA makes a LOT of sense and expands on the greatness of the original trilogy.

Antpark Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Interesting that they showed the Skywalker history in the order in which the previous movies had been released and not in the chronological way they would have occurred in universe. I'm guessing that Red-Sabre Rey is her "Cave of Dagobah" moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should go with the twin brother angle -- Steve Palpatine, a retired union carpenter, suddenly finds himself thrust into the role of Sith overlord at the behest of his dead but still occasionally showing up as an apparition twin brother, Emperor Palpatine (what was his first name anyway?).
