Movies: Star Wars: Episode VIII THE LAST JEDI (NO SPOILERS - Use the other thread for spoilers)

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

I really liked the trailer. My only complaint is giving away a major plot point, unless that was cut to mislead on purpose. Other than that, everything looked pretty cool.

 

[Cloned]

I'm still going with Mexican standoff cliffhanger to end the movie between Rey, Luke and Kylo.

 

[Power Man]

Again. Look at the shot that immediately followed Luke saying this. I'd bet money he was talking about Kylo/Ben Solo

Could be a misdirection

Gotta get our race baiting quota filled up in our articles.

If Rey went dark side and made Luke the main hero again that would be so sweeeeet.

But no way Rey is going dark side

Agreed, probably tempted or something but in the end will do the right thing.

You should've seen some of the reviews for Blade Runner 2049.

Explain to me why he would be talking about himself though. He never feared his own "raw power." He wanted to be stronger in Empire.

 

[SeidoN]

good trailer. Kylo has been the best thing about PT in my opinion

I dont think Luke's lines were a fakeout. It does seem like he was referring to Kylo. about not being afraid of it last time when he should have been

I like this one way more:



Immaculate force baby would be the worst possible option IMO.

Wow, I usually avoid fan theories because they are really lame...but this, this makes some real sense in the context of the story

 

[SpoolCat]

If Rey went evil and Kylo went back to being good, that would be awesome. It almost certainly won't happen, Rey is a goldmine for Disney.
Kylo and Rey fighting both Luke and Snoke as two extremes for some sort of balance, could be cool too

 

[Pilky01]

This trailer got me a lot more hyped than the previous one. Movie is looking pretty good.

I hope Finn ends up being the main hero in the end.

Also I can't stand that anything pop-culture related these days also comes with a requisite serving of "woke" internet racist takes.

Or sexism. Blade Runner 2049 drew heat for showing sex workers and Ana De Armas' character starting the movie off in a kind of "homewife" role. Like...sex workers exist. Some women prefer that role. Not everything ever shown in art celebrates or enables problematic societal issues. If anything showing sex workers in a not too distant future is a statement on our present society more than it has anything to do with empowering patriarchy. I'm all for equality in all respects but people who reach for any reason to be outraged about something trivialize real causes and movements.

 

[GKJ]

I'm not even a Star Wars superfan and I'm hype for it. Adam Driver is so awesome.

 

[MadDevil]

I think the Rey/Kylo thing at the end is a bit of a fakeout. Rey is the Luke of this trilogy and I just don't see her going dark. She may be tempted, just as Luke was, but ultimately she's still the "good guy" here.

I could see her being as headstrong as Luke was and thinking she can play Kylo into getting her to Snoke, but Luke, having been through some shit knows better ("This won't go how you think it will"). I think he changes his mind about Rey in the end though and agrees to train/help her.

It would be kind of cool if the movie ends with Luke igniting his lightsaber and taking up the mantle of the last of the Jedi again.

 

[Tawnos]

It's fun, but I'd like to point out that you guys are wasting your time with trying to figure out the story. We all did it before TFA and we were pretty much all wrong about everything.

 

[Tawnos]

Yes, it seems a little strange. It does not seem to be a very practical design or very inspired. I personally think WETA should be given all the money in the world for the production aspect of these movies but I'm not Disney.

The ATAT is an impractical design to begin with.

 

[Tawnos]

The last lines are clearly not related. Rey is in a cave and is almost a certainty talking to Luke in a cave on the island while Kylo holding his hand out looks like it could be from when he destroyed Lukes academy, which is also shown in the trailer

He has the scar on his face. It's current time.

 

[MadDevil]

At least these won't get tripped up on tow cables.

Yeah, I was gonna say the gorilla walkers are probably much more practical than "normal" AT-ATs. At least with the gorilla walkers they can move more than one leg at a time and the redesigned forward legs should enable a much wider range of terrain options. The design is definitely "better" from a functionality standpoint. But aesthetically it definitely misses the mark for Star Wars/The Empire. It just looks so out of place.

Considering Rey wasn't supposed to be a major part of the original script for episode 8, I'm thinking a storyline about Palpatine's grand-daughter eventually becoming the big bad for episode 9 ended up getting neutered when they reworked the script. Now I believe they'll just tease us with it, but keep her on the good side until the end.

 

[MadDevil]

Palpatine's granddaughter? I really hope not. In fact I hope she's not related to anybody we know.

Chewbacca has a penguin!

It's his therapy porg.

Everybody seems to be related to somebody in these movies...
