This will be the first Star Wars film to come out in my lifetime that I won't be seeing at the cinema.

Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were just so bad, I simply don't have any faith in the series any more, at least in the hands of Disney, who have become more or less the contemporary Hollywood equivalent of EA or Konami.

It all just seems so cynical, tacky, focus-tested and soullessly commercial.



Dude, that thumbnail reminds me that Daisy Ridley tends to look as if she was having trouble breathing.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

If Rey were to go the dark side, it would help explain her being so overpowered early on. The dark side is easy after all if lore memory serves me right. Otherwise, still a Mary Sue.



It's been a bumpy road, but hearing both Mark and Carrie say that most iconic of lines made me choke up a little.

The episode 7 trailers constantly showed Finn as out of breathe or breathing really hard too for some reason. Maybe Star Wars is actually just one big health advertisement for reminding everyone to breathe more. :P 



I don't know what to think yet. Am I going to see it in the theater? Yes of course, but I am going in with a bit of a doubt. Nothing actually happened this whole trilogy, it has felt disjointed from the other six movies and the overarching story is not really interesting. Recently I rewatched Episode 8 (through Disney+, which we're able to already have here as a test since last month, works quite well and already has a large collection, if you want to know), after not having seen it since I saw it in the theater, and I have to say it's story doesn't make sense. I feel you can just as well skip it. I still say Rogue One has been the only Disney film that actually felt like it belonged in the saga as a whole.

Hopefully, Lando and Palpatine make this movie worth it, like how Han made The Force Awakens better. This trailer doesn't really make me much more excited though, there's not much mystery;

Spoiler!
Rey and Kylo fight for the third time after she's already beaten him twice, Rey confronts Palpatine, Lando flies the Falcon, the Resistance has respawned, Finn is running somewhere,

and the trailer apparently spoils

Spoiler!
C3P0 dies.

Anyway, we'll see in about two months time.

You just described the prequels. Hell, even George Lucas admitted that Jar Jar Binks was inspired by Goofy. It makes sense that Star Wars is owned by Disney now too. The majority of the prequels was just an excuse to sell toys.

I still need to see the last one.

Do ya'll think this will fix everything or people will still be mad at where star wars has gone?

Based off that trailer I don't doubt that this could be a far more interesting film than TLJ, but it would take quite a bit to reignite my interest in Star Wars. That movie just killed about 80% of my love and hype of the franchise and where things are going. I just have little reason to care.

TLJ left me with a very bland, empty feeling. I didn't care about the hollow characters, I didn't care where this was going to end up. There was very little in the way of a cliff hanger, stakes, personal conflicts, world-building, just little of substance in general.. It was just boiled down to yet another basic empire vs rebellion. Just felt like a Saturday morning cartoon or something. Tune in next time as are heroes try to defeat the eeevil empire once again! Bleh..

The general mystique of the trailer worked for me, but what really got my attention was that brief scene where we see Rey and Kylo working together again! That moment when they did so in The Last Jedi was the most gripping part of the movie for my taste, so when the two ultimately retreated back to their opposing sides thereafter, I couldn't help but be curious as to whether that would go on being the case in the final chapter. I don't believe there's a true analogy to such a development from earlier in Star Wars filmography. Even when Luke and Anakin join forces (lame pun unintentional, but fun anyway) at the conclusion of Return of the Jedi, it's not really a tag-teamy thing like this, but rather a brief, redemptive conclusion to Anakin's journey through life. So I'm even more interested in Rise of the Jedi now, in the view of this new revelation that Rey and Kylo wind up working together again for the conclusion of the trilogy! I'm sorry but I've defs gotta see how that comes about!
