Disney premiered the official trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi during the halftime show on tonight's Monday Night Football. Warning, there are spoilers ahead and lots of stuff to soak in, but you already knew that. The movie hits theaters December 15.

See the last Jedi.
 
looks amazing...I have total faith that Rian Johnson is going to nail it...trailer leads you to believe that Kylo is going to kill Leia in this...that would be pretty epic if he kills both his father (Han Solo) and mother (Princess Leia)...definitely no redeeming him after that...I guess that's the best way to deal with Carrie Fisher's real life death

Megalith is probably pissed off that you posted a movie trailer and not him...you should scoop him and post all trailers before him lol :D

I wouldn't mind a reboot of the prequel trilogy while top men quietly stash the Lucas prequels in a locked box next to the Ark of the Covenant. That'll tie them up for a few years.

If the Hulk can get a do-over I think Anakin Skywalker can.

Right. Let's get this started. Who's organising the petition, and who's doing the burning bags of dog shit outside the homes of key people to ensure this happens?
 
I decided to avoid trailers for this one. The trailer for the last one had a ton of spoilers in it that there was nothing left to be surprised by.
 
It's like trying to elicit emotional response from a cardboard brick wall. Just like the previous Disney sw movies, I feel nothing for this.
 
I enjoyed Rogue One. I hated Force Awakens. I have no desire to see this in a movie theater. I'll wait until it is on Amazon Video and rent it. I feel nothing for the characters. The only good thing I saw out of Kylo was the SNL skit of Undercover Boss about him.

I enjoyed Rogue One but for some reason it doesn't hold up as well in repeated viewings...I think the problem is that you don't really connect with the main characters like you do in the main SW movies...I can't even remember most of their names outside of Jyn Erso
 
As long as they didn't use Ep V as a template for this movie, it should be fun. Ep 7 had taken waaaaaay too much from Ep 4

I have only watched Rogue once. I agree, I did not retain their names, but that does not bother me so much since that story was concluded at the end of the movie.
I do not remember most of the names of the new characters in Force Awakens. Non of them were interesting enough for me to care enough and that is part of my problem with this. I am not going to want to invest time in an ongoing series if I am not engaged with the characters. I hope the next movie will change my mind about the characters. While I am going into it with an open mind, I still have no desire to spend time or money to go see it in the theater. I'm just not excited about the franchise anymore. Maybe I am just getting old.

Really? Overall I thought it was about as good as Episode IV. TFA was exactly the character-driven film a lot of people wanted along with some nods to KOTOR and the old novels. Now everyone is wondering why Rey is so gifted and from the trailer it looks like we may find out.

Where I think it fell short was not the characters but the setting. This surprised me when I first saw it given the use of practical effects and familiar ships/actors. It's hard to explain. The state of the struggle between the Rebels and the Empire was clear from the opening shots of Episode IV. The state of things in Episode VII is not clear at all, though I'm assuming the First Order is a bit like the various Sith scavenger factions attacking the weak post-Civil War Republic in the KOTOR II timeframe. The setting is an empty canvas, Finn's character is a blank slate, and Rey is a mystery, but ultimately we care about where these characters are going.

Rogue One was fun but in the opposite way. You remember the places like Eadu and Scarif more than the characters.
 
Man... That just looked so generic. It's frustrating that I don't much care about a new Star Wars movie. Guess I'll go watch the Harmy edits again.

Then hopefully you haven't watched TESB, because this is basically TESB getting the ANH->TFA treatment.

Lol, go back and watch Return of the Jedi. Remember Jabba's little monkey sidekick?

It's nice to see that we went from tattooine and death star proxies to hoth and degobah proxies.

Ya got a whole galaxy of imagination to work with guys, can we stop retreading bits of the original trilogy?
 
Least it is not midgets in teddy bear suits again. Or is it? :confused:

Apparently puffins made it to space and call themselves Porgs now.

Except TFA wasn't character-driven. It was just a bunch of wouldn't-it-be-cool-if Saturday night live skits that formed a piece of shit movie. Rey is so gifted that she could accomplish nothing more than scavenge for junk to trade for food as an adult? lol.
 
Kylo tries psycho force tactics to enslave new jedi chick, instead bows down to her power. This pretty much Ends this portion of saga. Emperor morphs once again into another physical entity. Ender mythology saturates fans to dumbfoundness continuously one more time.
 
I mean, I'll watch it. But it looks generic as fuck, and I can see why Hamill has such severe reservations to the direction Rian Johnson took with the Skywalker character.

I just can't get over the "noob padawan has immense immediate power that scares mentor" plot line. I enjoyed the subtly the original trilogy took in regards to this.

Yeah I suspected it was the new happy meal toy that every little bedwetter and crumb cruncher is going to bleed their parents ears dry to get their paws on.

I'm not sure how it was character driven. Rey is pretty much a god in the movie; she is an expert pilot, expert marksman, expert engineer, expert duelist, etc... They should just end the series now and have her defeat whiny Ren and the new "Emperor" because that is what will happen. No need to extend the inevitable. But of course in between that, Im sure they are going to try put some very difficult obstacles in her way and make her conflicted but in the when all hope is lost, she will overcome them. Pretty much nothing new. It would be a heck of lot more interesting if they killed her off in this coming movie. The other characters weren't that great either and the movie was also full of overused plot devices and cliches. That being said, for all its faults and plot holes, I thought the movie was entertaining but overall was nothing special.

Reservations? Hamill looks like he's just happy to be working again. I think he was homeless when they finally tracked him down.

Loved TFA and R1, and can hardly wait to see this in the theater! I'm LOL'ing so hard at all the emo levels of butthurt popping up all over the internet from this one trailer.

Not about working in general, about the character.

And he's a very successful voice actor (y)

There were so many plot holes and "lets be cute with" and unbelievable character moments in TFA that I wanted to puke. It was almost a big of a steaming pile of poopoo and kaka as episode 1.

I'm not sure it wasn't worse than episode 1 if you take Jar Jar out. (I went back and watched episode one with my son a couple months ago. After watching TFA, I was like "comparatively, it wasn't that bad to TFA")

I swear I can write better scripts then what these Hollywood @#$@# are coming up with.

Luke is clearly gifted and goes from farm boy to elite fighter squadron member with nothing more than the recommendation of a friend. I think they hand-waved it away in the novelization by saying he aced a simulation beforehand.

Rey and her abilities are clearly supposed to be a mystery, and judging from the trailer at least some of this is going to be explained. She doesn't have god-like powers, she just learns fast. I've noted before and in other threads that they nodded repeatedly to KOTOR in TFA, it wouldn't surprise me if they take that further and there's some kind of literal force connection between Rey and Kylo Ren like Revan and Bastilla or Kreia and the Exile and that's where she's getting her abilities. It explains all the weirdness that happened when Ren was interrogating Rey and again later on when they had that short trance during the sword fight.

The other characters weren't that great either and the movie was also full of overused plot devices and cliches. That being said, for all its faults and plot holes...

Like what? What plot holes?

I don't get the internet hate. I saw it with a bunch of people a while after it came out and everyone agreed together and later that it was good. Not ESB good but ANH good.

Lol right? I already pre-paid for an early showing at the Atmos theater here.

Me and my boy will be enjoying this.
