No mustache-twirling bad guys pls the Star Wars are known for their subtle and nuanced villains. /s

The second trailer has my hopes up but Abrams is generally such a hack and while pretty good at setup, he's so terrible at finishing stories.

Kylo Ren's facemask looks like an aluminum can to me, but otherwise the released shots look pretty cool.

I like it, resembles a 30's pulp villain or something.
I'm genuinely impressed with the look of what we've seen in trailers so far.

Are you ready for Star Wars to be completely drained of all color?

For a photo shoot, perhaps, but all the trailer footage we've seen indicates the opposite.

ok I won't ruin it for anyone but died laughing just now reading about wolfy's romance w/ dice ibegon as fugitives from the empire, w/ ibegon dying at the battle of hoth and wolfy fighting on to honor her memory and then wondering 'wait, which one was dice ibegon?' and finding out that 'o, that was dice ibegon.'

The survivors of the Battle of Endor held a victory party along with the local species, the Ewoks. During it, a ghost-like, semi-transparent, bright Force spirit of Lak Sivrak met Dice Ibegon's. They joined, paw in tail, and walked to meet three other friends [Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda] that were waiting for them.[3] Ibegon and Sivrak were together again, their spirits shining in the Force.[1]
The spaces just off-camera in the original trilogy must be crammed with expanded universe plots.

i feel like creators of expanded universe stories were using star wars as an outlet for their intensely weird fantasies
― bizarro gazzara, Thursday, 27 August 2015 14:02 (nine years ago) link
I had Tales from the Cantina or w/e and the bounty hunter short story collection when they came out. There were... some interesting ones.
There is some weird species that looks humanoid but has tendrils that allow them to drink brains. The inner dialogue of that dude was mostly talking about the "soup" of others, meaning... brain juices.
ugh ugh

The tendrils are supposed to grow out of their cheeks. Later, the comics writers and EU writers used them a lot: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anzat_(species)

She eventually met Lak Sivrak—known to most as only Sivrak—a secretive Shistavanen Wolfman fugitive who had slain a group of Imperial troops. Although he and Ibegon had markedly different body structures, Sivrak found the Lamproid extremely attractive, and Ibegon made efforts to seduce him, buying the Shistavanen a drink and inviting him to sit with her.
