Matt D Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (because, you know, TLJ tore apart all of the aspects of TFA that were outdated or purely nostalgia for the sake of it, or contrived and navel-gazing and limited, represented in the mask which was shown to be patently ridiculous and unnecessary and stifling growth and this movie aims to bring it all back. So the fucking mask is haphazardly glued together. it's not rocket science here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The end reveal is 100% vintage JJ though. The one untapped nostalgia well that wasn't touched yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) The Rise of Skywalker seems like such obvious nod towards Rey's parentage that I have to hope it's something else. Maybe a reference to Luke's legacy being used to create something new, or... god, they're going to call the new not-Jedi Skywalkers, aren't they? Anyway, it looks pretty, sounds amazing, and everyone looks like they had a good time. I probably will, too. (But hell, I don't need a Palpatine Sith force-ghost.)

Anyway, it looks pretty, sounds amazing, and everyone looks like they had a good time. I probably will, too. I guessed right on her parents being nobodies. I'm guessing here that either Leia adopts her or tells Rey to take on the Skywalker name. Something like, "The Skywalker name means so much to so many. You have all of his teachings, you are a Skywalker. Take the name, use it." Edited April 12, 2019 by Craig H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Also, given the tease in Episode 3 that Palpatine also learned how to master death from Darth Plagueis...Yeah... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The trailer has me excited though I'm hoping Abrams doesn't backpedal much, if any of TLJ. TFA was way to reliant on nostalgia so I'm hoping this one is more focused on the story of the new generation in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) I think it looks great, and I'm super excited that there is a concerted effort to let everyone know that it's not going to be anything like The Last Jedi. Retcon and backpedal that entire piece of shit, because I'll never watch it again anyway. Edited April 12, 2019 by RandomAct 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Do Rey's parents even require a retcon? I mean our witness to who they were is a duplicitous asshole who was playing mindgames with her at the time, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech27 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 15 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: So Kylo did a running STO.. Space Tornado Organa is a pretty solid finish for him. Anyway, TLJ wasn’t consistent in execution, but was right that the Jedi were crypto theocratic secret police and the force needed to be democratized. And “the Emperor was behind it all along!” would be powerfully stupid, especially if Kylo has to, I don’t know, kill his Sith ghost as a means of reenacting Grandpa’s redemption, thus securing his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I feel like it’s a hot take that I actually liked TFA and TLJ. TFA was a good way to bring back the movies by using the nostalgia and beats of A New Hope to set up the new players, while TLJ moved those players in their own direction. That said, this teaser actually makes me worry Abrams will take a hard left back into the same nostalgia beats as the original trilogy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
