The new trailer will debut tonight during Monday Night Football, and no doubt be online after.

Well I take back anything I said about liking the Porgs. I thought they'd be puppets, not Jar Jar Binks CGI things.

*CyberCubed* · 10-09-2017, 09:23 PM

Looks great. Although some of it does seem similar to Episode 5 (Rey training with a Jedi Master, more focus on the villain who had turned to the dark side, etc), it looks more like it's own thing and not just a remake of an old movie.

*ProactiveMan* · 10-09-2017, 09:30 PM

I saw a character named DJ in the next Black Series wave. He looks like a Disney Channel version of Deckard from Blade Runner.

*CyberCubed* · 10-09-2017, 09:37 PM

I hope Leia doesn't die in this movie.

*Shark_Blade* · 10-09-2017, 09:41 PM

I'm skipping the trailer I want to be surprised. It's not long anyway.

It's not like she's gonna appear in the next one...

*NinjaPug* · 10-09-2017, 09:46 PM

I think there was some intentional editing misdirection with that final scene.

The Kylo/Leia scene was my favorite part.

*Autbot_Benz* · 10-09-2017, 10:46 PM

The Porgs look like Mitch Mconnell when he frowns

*sdp* · 10-09-2017, 10:50 PM

It does feel like they're trying hard to mimic ESB in having a "dark" movie.

The trailer was ok, I didn't hate it but I also didn't love it.

The trailer shows potential, it'll finally give us all the answers Ep.VII trailers made us question which the movie did not answer and instead remade Episode IV.

So yeah I see potential to where they are trying to head the story might be new places though it could very well be a copy of ESB which I hope not. So I'm cautiously optimistic, contrary to what my comments on Star Wars are, I really want to love the franchise again, Disney has just made it hard.

Man, did that CG scene with Chewbacca look awful, I hope they clean it up by the time the movie comes out or just use the damn mask instead.

*Roseangelo* · 10-09-2017, 10:57 PM

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

*CyberCubed* · 10-09-2017, 11:40 PM

Would be interesting if all that early Episode 7 speculation of Finn being the true hero and Rey either going to the dark side or being misguided in some way leading to her downfall come true.

Kylo Ren and Rey teaming up would be good and interesting.

*Spike Spiegel* · 10-09-2017, 11:44 PM

That looks...more interesting than TFA.

For those of you who don't like the trailer, what is it that you don't like? This movie looks like it's going in all the right direction after episode 7 and looks to have far more drama, character development, action, and set pieces.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this is the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy ended.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 10-10-2017, 06:50 AM

checking out trailer reaction elsewhere..

nerds seem slightly more positive this time around. but, we all saw how that went with TFA over time, didn't we?

For me, disney has had three times to deliver. Rebels, TFA, R1. for me, three times they have failed to give me something I'd feel the need to rewatch more than once. three times they focused on nothing but episode 4 call backs.

This is turning into Star Wars the Last Chance.

*sdp* · 10-10-2017, 10:00 AM

Ive been checking reactions online as well and theyre blindly positive that it made me rewatch the trailer and now I have more problems with it...

The trailer seems like a straight rip off of the ESB, I hope the movie isnt like the trailer at all..You have Luke not wanting to train Rei because of the potential for evil, you have Rei being tempted by the dark side, you have training, I mean all of that is the ESB...

Many of the new characters introduced in Ep7 have potential, but putting them in the same tired OT situation without any real new twists is whats killing them.

I hope the movie does go a different direction..Also the people commenting are retarded they wonder "omg is rei turning to the dark side?" of course she wont jeeze "are they going to kill Leia OMG" of course not, Disney even said they wouldnt kill her off in Ep8 already, its only a trailer building suspense.

Nerds have always been positive for all the SW trailers made by Disney so far.

The general opinion of TFA has slowly shifted but its still seen as positive by most, we who hated it went from being the 1% to say the 30% which is a huge change but we¨re still the minority.

Rebels isnt bad and most problems that it has are problems Clone Wars already had, I wont say I love Rebels but its not worse than Clone Wars, theyre both a little too wacky but I can live with that.

I agree with TFA and R1 as you know though and the problem is those movies have set up almost everything else that we are getting from Disney whether its comics, books, games etc.

Johnson certainly wanted to make darker story than The Force Awakens. A beloved character may have been killed off two years ago in that film, but the tone wasn't quite as serious as what they are advertising here.

So, on a scale of Anakin slaughtering toddlers to Luke finding out that Vader is his father, how excited for Star Wars 8 are you?

Spoiler*: My gut tells me that Kylo Ren won't kill Leia. He might've killed his father, but I think he was always much closer to his mother. Even though anything could happen I also don't believe that Rey will turn to the Dark Side. She's probably just making Kylo Ren think that she is joining him.
