Star Wars Discussion Thread v. Rogue One

[Zook]

Did they design The Last Jedi trailer exactly like The Force Awakens?

[Kotowboy]

They're structurally similar.

[The Trooper]

Just enough as a teaser as it should be, Got me excited. The way teaser should be done, FRom here on out I will stay away from further trailers. rather be surprised once I see the movie. I will admit I have a boner

[Accelerando]

Luke : Maybe it's time for the Jedi to end... Red all over the poster... Luke goes bad ?

I got really excited about this because in both Clone Wars and Rebels, they have insinuated that in order to bring balance to the force, both the Jedi and Sith must not exist. I dont think Luke turns bad. I think he's reluctant to train Rey because he knows this.

100% agree

[Cool Chris]

Not sure if discussed here, but a great panel discussion, and Carrie Fisher tribute. There are probably more.

I wasn't too crazy about teaser. It wasn't bad it just didn't excite me in any way.

same here. It was all pretty 'bland' as far as revealing anything. The Rey/Luke scenes probably happen within the first few minutes of them being on screen....save maybe the scene of Rey running and training with the light saber....but, Luke's comment of what he believes was certainly purposeful to get people talking yet probably is far lest sinister or meaningful than what the internet has turned it into.

the battle scenes looked great...the production of the movie is absolutely going to be incredible....but personally, I didn't/don't need a trailer for the movie to get excited about it because I'm already there. I don't think there's anything they could show me to get me more excited.

[TheOutlawXanadu]

The trailer was good fun. It's always nice to see new Star Wars.

The poster, on the other hand, is freaking beautiful and epic.

[BlobVanDam]

Yeah, that poster is stylish.

[Kotowboy]

It's just TRON.

[Implode]

Or Star Wars....

HUGE SPOILER AHEAD


I REPEAT


HUGE SOPILER AHEAD

[Phoenix87x]

Holy shit. Oops disney, I can't believe you let that slip through.

[Adami]

Yea, not sure how that's physically possible unless it's more distant.

[BlobVanDam]

I think I'd call BS on that screenshot. Surely I'd have heard about that by now somewhere.

[bosk1]

Well, she doesn't have to be descended from Obi Wan.  Could be another branch of the Kenobi family tree that obviously was force sensitive, but did not train as jedi. 

But more likely (IMO):

I think I'd call BS on that screenshot.

[BlobVanDam]

Maybe force ghosts can get it on.

[Kotowboy]

Obi TWO Kenobi ?

[cramx3]

I did some googling and nothing comes up (besides fan theories), is there a link to go along with that screenshot?  Otherwise it seems fake.

I did a quick search myself, and only found references to Daisy Ridley being questioned about it and not answering. I think that kind of info would be tightly guarded enough to not accidentally end up on a stream like that.

[Phoenix87x]

I think I shall call shenanigans as well. I just rewatched the video and this is what it said. Unless they corrected the mistake (which I doubt), I will say fake on this one

The look on her face 

[MinistroRaven]

I should have done the homework, I got that image from a friend and he was too excited. I just dropped my jaw and thought it would be cool if she is a Kenobi, which it's possible. But thanks for clarifying

[Kotowboy]

If that caption was indeed genuine - it would be all over the net.

[Zantera]

The Kenobi theory is about Obi-Wan having hooked up with someone from Clone Wars (i forget the name since I haven't watched the show) who he apparently had very warm feelings for. There's another rumor that she is both a Kenobi and a Skywalker basically by Luke at some point hooking up with the daughter of Obi-Wan. You can speculate all you want really, but that would be quite some heritage.

[Adami]

Obviously she and Poe and gonna bang, then it gets revealed that her name is............Rey Dameron.


Yup, they're going to do the whole "Luke/Leia kiss thing" but to a whole new level.

If they do that and don't show the entire sex scene, the new controversy won't be who shot first, but who finished first.

Or who shot where.

I almost went there, but thought it might be too far. Thanks for covering that for me 

[King Postwhore]

You guys.  She used the force to guide......

[Kotowboy]

When the dust settles - all the combined channels that hosted The Last Jedi trailer will be well over 50 million views.

I wonder how much revenue that generates for Disney/Lucasfilm.

I'd bet that it pays for the marketing for Last Jedi at least.

Along with The Force Awakens trailers, merch, box office, Rogue One trailer, gross, merch etc...

They probably never have to worry about going over budget or under-performing...

They could just put out a teaser for Han Solo tomorrow and it would bring in several thousand dollars.




EDIT : I looked up the EPisode 8 announcement trailer from last year and that's got nearly 14m views on it's own.

I have a chrome extension for youtube that gives me some cool info.  Just looked up this video and it's earned an estimated $20k, but not sure how accurate this tool is though.
