i bet it's gonna be a hit

Love Han Solo going from "ancient weapons and hokey religions" to "the dark side, the Jedi, it's all true."

lotta ppl find religion right before they die

he did witness a lot of wonky shit

I always felt bad that the droids had to ride in the rumble seat in the X-Wing. The trend continues when BB-8 tags along with Llewyn Davis.

Han and Leia in sad hug as troops look on followed by a Falcon in flames about to crash into something = Bye Han (and Chewie)? Looks good. Still too much. damn. lensflare. Abrams haha

oh wait - I got those scenes reversed. Rewatch!

i am going to watch this in a movie theater

I'm gonna call it right now - the biggest problem with this movie will be the filler. A pronlem shared by certain Star Wars remakes and epic films like The Hobbit part 3.

How about issue number one being, I don't know, lack of a protagonist?

A hot mess

it cant help feel melancholy like now the other movies are just some other things that happened. all those times i dreamed about the future or past of the Star Wars universe as a kid are being overwritten by these official sequels and prequels. maybe han saying "It all happened" is a little too on the nose for me.

its not going to live up to the hype but will do a lot of things technically right and people will love it cos at least its not the godawful sequels. the main bad guy's voice in this trailer is pretty rough, i hope it sounds better in the movie.

def gon be a ton of filler and fan service

oh please

btw guys Star Wars Rebels is still pretty joyful

Rewatched Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars cartoons last week, joy is a pretty big component there too.

If there was going to be a ton of fan service, wouldn't they have, y'know, stuck some in a trailer?

The tone def. seems smart - one of the best aspects of the original series was finding out all this forgotten stuff along with Luke, seeing him working up his skills so that when in the third he can actually deflect laser blasts it's all kinds of awesome. Vs "So these two Jedi (out of hundreds) walk into a trade negotiation" - a definite case of "fans are convinced that they want to see something that they don't actually want to see".

How about issue number one being, I don't know, lack of a protagonist?

That's Greek for white dude, right?

based on his conspicuous absence i'm guessing luke is going to get killed or turn evil

i hope not tho, we need an old force sage

Enjoyed the 0.3 seconds of Carrie Fisher. Luke is presumably the gloved figure touching R2 in that one shot. This is going to run about 165 minutes.

Love Han Solo going from "ancient weapons and hokey religions" to "the dark side, the Jedi, it's all true."

Ya didn't figure out by the end of the first movie that his "arc" was Bogey in Casablanca, huh?

Luke won't turn evil unless Harper Lee did some script doctoring

also wtf is that unintelligible whisper that ends the v/o?

yeah the hand is such a tease tho. mb they're building up to luke's entrance, but the former main character not showing up properly is an Interesting Choice at least

Not to get all Zapruder Film here but are there clues that Luke is even going to be in this? Otherwise, he's in the next movie.

Clue is Mark Hamill's name on the credits?

we heard his voice. who scavenged vader's helmet from the funeral pyre? seems like a strange thing for luke to do

OK! (you can guess how much I've been paying attention to this)

No more revealing than the first trailer - doesn't seem to delve a little deeper into what the film's actually about. Maybe this is good? IDK

who scavenged vader's helmet from the funeral pyre?

assuming Kylo Ren does this and the first trailer shows him on Endor (about to chop up some Ewoks with his fancy sabre)

This is going to run about 165 minutes.

I read 135 mins somewhere. Which is still far too long obv.

i wonder if we'll actually see adam driver's face. would be one way to get around him being pretty goofy looking for an evil villain dude.

is Luke dead and that's just his disembodied voice in the other trailer? maybe he 'appears' as per Ben in Jedi/Empire.

remove your 3D glasses, Finn... use the force

not a chance Luke died offscreen

Luke will show up in the last 10 minutes, just when it seems all is lost. He'll play a larger role in the next film.

Ya didn't figure out by the end of the first movie that his "arc" was Bogey in Casablanca, huh

"I came to Tatooine for the waters."

"I came to Tatooine for the waters moisture vaporators."

The first few times I watched this, I had mistaken Poe Dameron for Luke at about 1:02. A very "noooooo" moment.

loved the trailer. not so keen on the alternative poster though

Maybe I need to see the trailer on a bigger screen, but I'm somehow less enthused after watching it? I'm sure (I hope) the movie isn't as po-faced as the new trailer makes it seem. It felt a lot less Star Wars-y than the first trailer.

looks like third weekend discount matinee for me, and i feel like shit about goin that far

Bigger! Louder! Faster! More emotion! More drama! More serious! Less fun!

I'm sure my kids (who I think have just seen the first Star Wars) will want to see this, but I'm concerned half this movie will be like the time traveling Spock scene in JJ's Trek reboot.

The mournful piano motif in the trailer - is that Williams? Because it does not sound like his thing.

looks like a hobbit movie

Accepting Han and Leia are old and have kids is inheritably less Star Wars-y. Just pray that 'we are family' isn't a main theme.

I was most excited by the music in the trailer because it didnt (as far as I can tell) repeat an old motif. Otherwise it's just a teaser and I dont know why anyone would expect anything more.

You are all bearing in mind that the original series started with space nazis blowing their way into a shuttle, killing most of the defenders and torturing the shit out of one of our heroes, right?
