It was just kind of jarring for a Star Wars trailer. After watching it a couple more times I already tuned it out.Game of Thrones did some promos with contemporary music like Florence and The Machine and Candy Bar Creep Show.
I love this idea. My only minor complaint is that it's on a Tuesday and not a weekend day/Friday where I have more time to watch all 3 episodes.The release schedule is interesting. We'll get three episodes every Tuesday, and each weekly set will take place in a different year. It'll be like getting a TV movie every week for 4 weeks.
Especially with the success of Season 1 and this season's budget, I would've expected Disney to stretch it out over 2-3 months to maximize subscriptions, not cram it all into a single month. I remember that Tony Gilroy also arranged Season 1 into sets of three episodes (though they were stretched out over 2 months), so maybe he lobbied for this release schedule and Disney acquiesced. Perhaps that's a sign that Disney hasn't imposed itself on the show any more this season than last. We'll see.
Hopefully the plotlines at least find their way into novels/comics.Probably the most excited I've been for a season of television in quite a while. Kind of concerned they're really rushing things by trying to cram 4 years into one season, originally I think they wanted to do four or five seasons to end at the beginning of Rogue 1.
Hopefully it's because they wanted to put Tony Gilroy on another SW project.
New teaser without the dumb music:
