Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 As the guy said when he fell out of a building, so far so good. Aside from Leia's Theme the next best part was seeing Lando.

Popular Post karelm 2,915 Posted April 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2019 1 hour ago, Alexcremers said: I liked the desert segment in the beginning of the teaser. We need more Jedi action, less everything else. Disagree. That stuff gets boring because they're too evenly matched. Like 40 minutes of Anakin/Obi-wan in ROTS was just boring after a while. ESB judged the confrontation perfectly in terms of interspersing story with action. More of that. Another thing that was great about ESB is Luke wasn't a jedi, he was a just a student facing off against Vader, a sith lord. All stakes were on Luke and that made for excellent drama. Aren't both Kylo and Rey still students though both powerful in the force? crumbs, Joni Wiljami, Taikomochi and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jay 37,373 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2019 The Rise of Skywalker’s Underwater Death Star Was Originally in Force Awakens Quote While trying to think of a suitable McGuffin for Episode VII, the writers played around with the idea of Rey flying the Millennium Falcon into the oceans of Endor where wreckage of Death Star II (including the Emperor’s Tower) held valuable secrets about sacred Jedi sites throughout the galaxy, presumably including Ahch-To island where Luke presides. Abrams abandoned the idea because it raised too many questions and slowed down the plot too early, but now that the Sequel Trilogy is coming to a close it seems only fitting that Abrams goes back to this seed of an idea that compelled him so much initially. While it is difficult to tell in the Rise of Skywalker trailer whether this underwater Death Star is the one from A New Hope or Return of the Jedi, we bet it’s the latter given the presence of the Emperor and that it was the last place he was alive before Darth Vader killed him… or at least thought he killed him. As for what planet that wreckage landed on, why our heroes are going there and what role the Emperor still has to play in closing out this saga remains to be seen.

leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The title is awful. The teaser was visually interesting though. Rey doing a Matrix jump was terrible. Do we need to make her more into an untouchable mary sue superhero? No Rose in the teaser = brilliant. What looks like a crashed part of the death star is an interesting concept. That is perhaps the Emperor's 'fortress of solitude,' where they must go to face him. J.J. is clearly retconing everything Rian did in TLJ. This looks like a sequel to TFA, not TLJ. He remade Kylo's mask, will inevitably reveal Rey's true parents as someone important. The Emperor will be the big 'overseer' not Snoke. Luke returns. Etc.

mstrox 6,651 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'm typically not one to theorize, and I like to go into movies just experiencing them. Still, here's my two sentence interpretation (theory?) of the title/trailer. Palpatine will have figured out the whole force ghost thing, and that is how he will be "back." "The Rise of Skywalker" will be from his dialogue - as hinted at in Episode III (and again in recent Vader comics, fyi), he began the force sensitive Skywalker bloodline. Hopefully the make-up will be better/less mask-like than ROTS - or they'll at least just use some lady's face with monkey features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 With Palpatine being back, that makes Vaders sacrifice and redemption in ROTJ seem pointless. He killed Palpatine to save his son, but his son became a miserable old man who died because he ran out of force battery, and then Palpatine just came back... So Disney are now trying to destroy the meaning and power of the original trilogy. Thanks Kathleen. Thanks Rian. Thanks J.J.

Chen G. 3,950 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The more I think about this teaser, the stupider it is in my mind. The title, the Leia hugging Rey shot from The Force Awakens with a CG backdrop, the Palpatine cackling over black as a stinger, the helmet. Lando flying the Falcon again seems nicer than I thought, though. The music (no one dare claim this is Williams) butchers, of all things, Leia's theme. I guess that's what happens when you rush to churn a teaser out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnnyD 1,223 Posted April 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2019 Awesome first look at the conclusion of Star Wars. I have been a fan of Star Wars since I saw Episode IV: A New Hope on VHS when I was six or seven years old. Star Wars is my favorite franchise. The story, the characters, the Maestro’s music. I own the first eight chapters of the Skywalker Saga, the entire set of The Clone Wars (until season 7 premieres with the launch of Disney+, in which I will subscribe to catch that), Solo, Rebels and Rogue One. I also own many of the novels, including Queen's Shadow, Dark Disciple, Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel, the novelization of Solo, The Rise of the Empire, Thrawn, Thrawn: Alliances, Ashoka, Leia: Princess of Alderaan, Lost Stars, Heir to the Jedi, The Aftermath trilogy, Last Shot, Bloodline, Phasma, The Legends of Luke Skywalker, the novelizations of Episode VII and VIII, and I look forward to the novels coming out. I am really looking forward to catching The Mandalorian on Disney+. Seeing the entire saga thus far, it will be really exciting to see the final chapter play out in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. I was genuinely shocked at hearing the unmistakable laugh of Palpatine at the end of the teaser, so I am really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. The title is appropriately cryptic. I can’t wait to experience this on the big screen in IMAX. Will, Taikomochi and The Illustrious Jerry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
