Definitely looking forward to even more evidence that J.J. doesn't know how space works!

Honestly can't get too upset about it. I really enjoyed TFA and Nu Trek #1, despite their copious and obvious flaws.

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

I've had enough of Jar Jar Abrams.

[Slow Ben]

Yep. I guess i'm in the minority that this news does not excite me.

But I also thought TFA was completely underwhelming.


Of course, i'll still watch it.

Hamill let slip in a now-deleted tweet that a new trailer will premiere during Monday Night Football on October 9th.

Makes sense. They did the exact same for TFA. I sense it wasn't much of a slip though lol

Indeed. Apparently the marketing push for TLJ has been identical to TFA for release dates of things.

Hey guys! I found some very early footage of the next next film. It's really rough, but gods, it looks promising as hell! Damn, I'm so excited for what is in the pipeline for this movie franchise. I can't wait! Give this a watch and let me know if you agree.

I've really been feeling the curiosity of just wtf they are gonna do with Leia the past few weeks... I don't think there is gonna be many dry eyes when that In Memory tag pops up. Ep 8 is going to be a harder watch then many people expect at least for us older crowd.

I kinda don't even want to really she/hear her in the trailers so we can then just get her full performance in one go come game day.

Really? I'm a big fan of star wars and her death is sad but I am hardly able to form an emotional connection to an actress who I know only through her movies

I'm with BK. Hell, my wife and I both welled up when we were re-watching TFA the other day. It's gonna be sad as hell. I kind of want the on-screen dedication to her (which we know they'll do) to come before the movie, but it will likely come after.

For BK. The A-Wing from THE LAST JEDI (spoilered for size)

Saweeeeeet!

Right on! Looks a little longer then Jedi's. Nice evolution. Makes me want to play X Wing and do the A Wing missions. Transfer your shield power into your engines to zip across the void a lot quicker. Those things are so fast if you where good enough you didn't need the shields.

You get to pilot A-wings in the new Battlefront I think.

Set your DVRs. The Last Jedi trailer is going to air during Monday Night Football tomorrow night.

Oh yeah. I forgot I posted the last one: https://forum.malaza...ost__p__1304381

But seriously though, advice still stands, tomorrow night during Monday Night Football, the newest of the new trailers is going to debut. Seriously.

[worry]

I'm into it. Last scene wasn't necessary for a trailer though.

Porgs are officially the bomb.

[QuickTidal]

Goddamn that was hype!

Its no surprise i was incredibly disappointed with TFA, but that still gave me a huge nerdboner.

I DIDNT SQUEEL LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AT LEAST TWICE YOU DID.

Some of that dialogue made me go “umm what?” Though. It’s a trailer so we have zero clue how the final cut is but I’m talking about, Luke saying “I’ve seen this raw power only once before AND IT DIDN’T scare me but this time it does.” Like wtf is he talking about? It appears as if he is referring to Ben’s attack on temple which umm made him go into hiding/dropping off the galactic map. If that didn’t scare him what did? Interesting

Ah okay it was”it didn’t enough” more or less not it didn’t

I think the implication is that when Luke first encountered that level of force power it was in his nephew, who was his prize student, that he was training to be a Jedi, a defender of Light...someone who he didn't fear that power showing up in such extremes... all he saw was the good that Ben might do with it.

It DOES scare him seeing it in Rey, because of what happened with Ben/Kylo and how such unmeasurable force strength can so easily corrupt someone (even ones own nephew who is being trained in the Light side) to the dark side. He's worried Rey is too strong for her own good, and will inevitably go bad like Kylo.

----------------------------------------

My own fuller thoughts after multiple viewings.

- The only thing I didn't exactly like in the trailer was I think it's SUPER cheap on the part of whomever cut the trailer to try to show that last two shots were ACTUALLY Rey interacting with Kylo while she says she needs guidance. It's clear they are lit differently (though close enough to try to pull off the bluff) and as such I wonder who they think they are fooling? That's not to say that Kylo doesn't interact with Rey in such a fashion...but the dialogue from her is more likely aimed at Luke.

- I LURVE Hamill's lines and delivery in this. His acting is so amazing in everything he's done...but man it looks like he threw everything he had at this role again! Love it.

- Glad that IF Luke uses a lightsaber in TLJ, they are not showing it in the trailers...that is (if it happens) going to be an absolutely thunderous moment in the actual film that will bring down every single theatre with raucus applause. Best to save moments like that.

- Not enough Finn.

- Poe's line was glorious, and we got to see his N0S-infused X-Wing in action, which was sweet.

- Kylo's little fighter ship whizzing around the Resistance fleet was cool as hell.

- Porgs are the bomb-diggity.

- The score is...SO. Phenomenal. I feel like everyone who complained in TFA that the score was not as memorable as the OT score pieces...and didn't understand that those pieces had 30+ years to fuse into our subconscious....that this second film featuring those pieces, like Rey's theme...are only going to get better. Love me some John Williams.

See, that's the thing about being an adorable child actor. There's always another adorable little booger eater coming up to take your place.

[Traveller]

I don't know.. there are worse ways to do it but it seems a bit unlikely since they put it in the trailer.

Do all the original heroes have to be killed? I think I'd prefer an off screen 'natural' death - a moving scene where it's revealed that Leia has died. I don't really want to see all the original cast shot or blown up.
