I love that their source is named after an obscure-as-f*ck 90s UK cartoon character

Nice to know Ain't It Cool's still around, browsing that was my jam fifteen years ago.

It's barely. Harry got #metooed into hiding after it allegedly turned out he was playing grab ass with ladies 19 years ago.

I have to admit I'm excited to see the trailer, in a way I want to be surprised or intrigued. Even if the movie underdelivers. TFA had amazing trailers, TLJ not so much. Rey, Finn, Kylo, Phasma are all such great character designs with tons of potential and the trailer sold you on them. As I've posted a dozen times I doubt 9 will fix the mess already made but at least the trailer can sell me on the fantasy.

With all the negativity TFA had that even their "if you don't like TFA you're _____" social media strategy worked I think Disney rethought on what to do .

Well... Episode IX does have the advantage of coming to the table with everyone's expectations at pretty much 0. If it even delivers a little tiny bit good, that'll be way more than most are expecting.

I also really hate how so many articles are calling this "The conclusion of George Lucas' Skywalker trilogy of trilogies." He obviously has nothing to do with these awful ones, barring whether or not the rumor he was brought on to help in some advisory capacity in this one is true.

I can't help but wonder how much of the stadium was filled with either plants, or lucasfilm loyals to help make it look good.

I can't imagine this many people still being happy, or caring for star wars these days.

That IS Palpatine laughing at the end, yes?

And wow, what a weird title. Putting characters' last names into the title? Bad form.

Ahh, the Duplicity of autbot never ceases to amaze me. whines about the same things, and then says i'm the whiner.

that stupid title alone is basically them saying 'we know we ******* up'.

They had ZERO plan on this from the begining. the whole sequel trilogy started with 'lets make the hero a girl, and go from there'. that was literally it.

now this is where we are. RIP star wars.

Fvcking weird.

So can we take this as confirmation that Rey is, in fact, somehow the child of Skywalker?

I dunno. Looks fine. Won't watch it.

What else could they possibly do to make her relevant at "the end of the Skywalker saga"? Of course she's going to be a Skywalker.

Yeah, Death Star wreckage. Death Star I or II, though? And... why? And... how?

Maybe they'll make it like Palpatine "inhabited" Snoke... and now he inhabits someone/something else. I wonder Ian McDiarmid's whereabouts the last year or so...

So they are using elements of the original story treatments of Force Awakens then, as those early drafts involved an underwater mission to explore the Death Star remains.

Also, this means all three trilogies have ended in movies beginning with "R"
