The Last Jedi trailer

[CapeCodRPGer]

I only know one truth can't wait

[Delightful]

I know this is just a teaser but was anyone else disappointed by it? I was sort of hoping they'd something new in it.

[CapeCodRPGer]

There were new ships, I think a new planet.

[JoelF847]

I was hoping for at least a snippet of a new villain. Kylo Whine was beaten last time around before any additional Jedi training, I expect a better bad guy this time around, but unfortunately, not a hint of them.

Rey aint the only one receiving training.

[Marc Radle]

I thought it was pretty great!

Lots of interesting bits to ponder, Rey continues to develop into a more and more intersting character, Kylo Ren continues to evolve, even in that one brief flash, into a more and more multi-layered character, and I think it's pretty clear Luke is going to have one heck of a cool and unexpected arc

All in all a pretty fantastic teaser type of trailer!

Even more excited for the movie now!

[Thomas Seitz]

The truth is...We need a reboot. :p ;)

[Bjørn Røyrvik]

It looks about as good as what we saw of TFA early on.
IOW, I'm probably gonna be disappointed again.

[Marc Radle]

We must be watching different movies. I loved The Force Awakens and It looks and sounds like The Last Jedi will be an amazing blockbuster as well.

[Thomas Seitz]

TFA was fine. I didn't appreciate the fact we had ANOTHER Death Star, but we got some damn fine character/emotional plot points out of it.

[Faelyn]

I think it looks fantastic! I'm interested to see what's up with Finn in the thing that looked suspiciously like a cryochamber?

Also, while I liked TFA, I felt it needed more original plot ideas beyond "Oh look, it's another giant WMD that gets destroyed by a handful of small fighter-craft." After TFA, I was hesitant on whether Disney would be able to make good with Star Wars, but after the awesomeness of Rogue One, those doubts have been squashed. R1 has become my 2nd favorite Stars Wars film after ESB.

Looks like high production values (no surprise there) and basically nothing else yet. Typical hollywood booming noises, ultra-quick shots of CGI cool stuff, and vague but generic "important words". More Kylo "Toddler Tantrum" Ren, more Finn "Lightsabers are relatively easy to use without training" Nolastname, more Rey "Mary Sue" Alsonolastname, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they can make Luke some kind of broken, brooding, tormented soul that Rey will "rescue".

Silliness aside, I'm trusting that it'll be a fun movie, but very safe and very derivative. Disney has pretty much guaranteed that with their approach to rebooting things. This new teaser doesn't inspire, but it doesn't disappoint either.

Also, personal fan theory is that a broken, contemplative Luke will want the Jedi to end under the thought that without the Jedi there will be no Sith (the "Force maintains its own balance" theory) but decides to train Rey to become an enforcer of that balance.

[JoelF847]

I realized that one of the set piece battles shown is a speeder vs. AT-AT fight, but on a red dust world instead of an ice world. This doesn't bode well for the originality of this movie, similar to TWA. I really hope it's not a re-hash of ESB, as much as TWA was a re-hash of ANH.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

[Tacticslion]

ARG!

I had a comprehensive post, and then it was closed by accidental key-stroke, and I lost the whole daggum thing.

Short version: I'm hype for this film, and I've never seen a convincing argument that TFA was, at all, a "clone" of ANH. All the evidence is circumstantial, at best, and generally relates equally well to the series as a whole.

[Lord Helmet]

Yes, circumstantial.
