Quote from: Omega;1111514Trailer looks interesting at least and some of the ship buffs pointed out all the different ships in one of the shots, including the ship from Rebels apparently.

Not too keen on the Emperor returning. But. Could be hes a force ghost, clone, or even just a failsafe recording. Sadly odds are it wont be so interesting as any of those.

Bet its something as mundane as "he used his force powers to save himself from the fall. Then escaped in a shuttle during all the chaos." I mean if Luke and Maul can do it. Why not Palpatine? Hell. Maul survived being cut in half!

Yeah, I also loved the space horses running on top of a space ship, that scene's gonna be a classic.

(I'm being sarcastic, this trailer looks like shit and those are the best cuts from the movie)

Now on to predict the future:

Rey is either the sister or cousin of Kylo, she's the greatest Jedi ever, they are jamming some training in this movie to stop everybody from complaining that she got none, the story still makes o sense, lots of explosions, probably more space bombers, space cavalry saves the day, light sabers still don't work as they should (Kylo & Finn should be dead), dumb people probably will make it a box office hit, the toys will not sell, the parks will tank and I don't fucking care what Disney does with it.

There are only 6 movies in the Star Wars Franchise.

While all the new-new Star Wars bar Rogue One have been total shit, The Mandalorian looks promising.

At this point it feels like Disney is trying to build a second story on a house by burning it down to it's foundation.

... maybe. I like Boba Fett better when there wasn't this whole Star Trek-ish race of bounty hunters built up around the character.
The helmets on pikes made me think of WH40K. Dunno if that's a good or bad thing.
And is it only going to be available on some Disney streaming service? Hard pass for me if that's the case.

Yep, only on the Disney streaming service, and it's not about Boba Fett.

Oh yeah. I knew it was a new character, but the whole "Mandalorians all wear this armor and are honorable but pragmatic warriors..." yadda yadda thing.

Give em time. Disney seems to live now on "if it aint broke. "fix" it..."

Mandalorians are the SW answer to ST:TNG Klingons. Their idea of "honorable" is gunning down civilians or bombing them from orbit.

It's still Disney starwars and after soylo it's pretty much confirmed starwars is dead and the fandomenice is right.

To be fair, the final trailer doesn't look terrible...if I hadn't seen the other two movies.

Are there glimpses of something potentially interesting? Definitely.

Do I trust them? Definitely not.

The comment section on the trailer video was a hoot. Here's my fav:
Oh man it is gonna be sad saying goodbye to all these memorable characters like.  . . that one guy and what's her face.

Disney: Oh...I'm afraid the next saga will be quite operational when your wallets arrive

Interesting bit in light of the apparent return of Lando in the upcoming film

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/star-wars-billy-dee-williams-gender-fluid-pronouns-interview-lando-a9228056.html

Soo.. he's 82 years old. He said he dosen't take himself too seriously. And he said he's ''gender fluid''.

Tbh this look to me like gentle trolling. His statements reflect a free spirit who just does not care how he looks while his in movie character is not relly defined in that regard. So hes doing this to promote his character to be relevant. And at this point why should anybody care thou? Why should this concern anybody but himself? Does he believe himself to be a rolemodel for those people who are gender fluid, and if so what has he accomplished to be their rolemodel?

*snickers*

The Last Jedi Appreciation Thread from TBP (where else?)

On it's own, Last Jedi is an incoherent mess.
As a Star Wars film, it's like getting tea bagged by someone with crotch rot.

At the risk of psychoanalyzing, my suspicion is that Last Jedi fans are people who really hate Star Wars and like seeing it run into the ground.
