Something felt really off about the IX’s trailer. They were trying to spin it as the end of an epic saga, but if you think about it, nothing has really happened in the last two movies. I feel like Luke had more character development in the first half hour of IV than Rey has had over two films. I just don’t get how anyone could care about these characters or what happens to them.

turns out, when you don't plan out your trilogy and just hand out movies to whoever's hanging out around the office that day, you get a bunch of movies about people flying around and doing random stuff

I completely agree. The trailer doesn't convey what should feel like the end of a trilogy, let alone the entire Star Wars saga. It is wholly unearned. It actually feels unrelated from TFA and TLJ even, like starting over yet again. I truly do not know where they are going with this or what they are thinking, but the epic feel is missing.

Yea it was horrible. Doesn't feel like there are any stakes at all and you have no investment in the characters. So of course they fucking pull Palpatine out of no where as a desperate attempt to make the movie seem to have some weight, but it's too gimmicky to matter at this point.

They're trying to smoke and mirror the other two parts away. Alas the only thing JJ is capable of is meek copies of the OT and a lot of pretend.

It will be more flavorless popcorn.

I thought the same, after TLJ it felt like we're two episodes in into a 10-episode season of a big budget TV show, not that we're past the 2/3 mark of a trilogy.

>I feel like Luke had more character development in the first half hour of IV than Rey has had over two films.

Because they did. Luke was a fish out of water. He could fly and shoot and that was pretty much it. He could barely even sense a laser coming towards him when first wielding a lightsaber.

Rey on the other hand started off as a savant in nearly every activity she was involved in and literally, the only difference in her character is that she now has a lightsaber instead of a normal stick. That is her character development.

SW is a fucking joke.

It looks like a straight up sequel to ROTJ, not like something that had two more movies before it.

>it felt like we're two episodes in into a 10-episode season of a big budget TV show
That's how It felt for me too, a ntflix tier production.

There were no two movies before it.There is only one sequel movie and it's coming this Christmas. Aren't you exited? Finally the saga comes to a deserving finale.

That was my thought too. Looks like the REAL VII trailer. I don't get the sense of conclusion or finality.

you cared enough to post this thread

Because the 7-8 was just fucking bullshit with no fucking ties together. Just milking the fucking nerds more

No, no. Rey is finally becoming and overcoming her fears as we saw at the start of the trailer. She's no longer going to be so... well she's never done a backflip before so that's new

it looked like a fanmade trailer, just making references to different shit while not having any actual significance. the palp laugh was the cherry on top.

You have Rey looking at the horizon, a tie fighter over water/desert, the death star again, kylo ren with his lightsaber in a forest. it's the same trailer with the same music almost shot for shot.

ANH had better character development than TFA. Hell, it's arguable that TPM had better character development than TFA.

based retarded 'if you didnt care why did you post' poster

this next movie is gonna come out and I still won't know who the fuck Rey even is.

Of course it doesn't feel related to the othe rtwo movies. There are no lose ends left. Snoke is dead, Rey beat Kylo twice now. Han is gone, Luke is gone, Apparently the entire Republic is gone. They will have to just start an entirely new story now about the 30 remaining rebels from TLJ starting to win back the galaxy with nothing left except the Millenium Falcon.

She's the everywoman protagonist, duh

Do you even care at this point?

kek DISNEY doesnt even know the fuck rey is and all this pointless side characters i dont even remember their names.
Spic, nigger, R2-D2 clone and mary sue rey

The story pretty much ended in the last one, except it didn't. That's why this trailer is so awkward.

the opposite affect happened. it felt more like an into film.

This could have been an Episode 8 trailer, hell even a fucking Episode 7 one if you tease Luke and Han.

Lucas had no idea what he was doing at the time either. The difference between him and Disney is that he surrounded himself with creative, professional people and let himself be corrected by them. Disney makes its ''creative'' decisions by looking at trending Twitter hashtags while frigid cunts write the stories.

You're entirely correct, because it's a film that wasn't written by narcissistic corporate psychopaths who understand personal growth and emotional resonance.

Compare how the original ensemble interacts over the course of the first film, bickering, arguing, snarking at each other, and slowly coalescing into friends/family, with how Poe and Finn spend 15 minutes together and are fast friends, Rey and Finn spend 15 minutes together and are fast friends, and never once do they ever disagree about anything ever again. It's inauthentic, terrible character development.

JJ is literally a fan service whore who doesn't like any of these properties. He just makes shit that is marketable. Why do you think he looked so fucking miserable during the conference.

I can't wait for Rian johnson fan's to get so pissed off that this movie doesn't do anything but try and fix the mistakes of his movie. They are not really fans of Star Wars, just SJWs who thought they finally had something or value.

>fix the mistakes of his movie.
I mean by basically ignoring it, as Rian ignored TFA. It's going to the most disjointed fucking mess ever this trilogy.

>let alone the entire Star Wars saga.
lmao
they arent gonna stop now

If you want proof, who at all cares about the new Star Trek movie now?

True, people put their souls into those films not like these paint-by-numbers movies Disney puts out

>The trailer doesn't convey what should feel like the end of a trilogy
What do you want them to show? It has a literal shot of the gang staring off at the DS2 ruins before Palpatine starts cackling.

Certainly not me, and that is entirely Abrams's fault. He fucked it up past point of salvage. And the damned shame of it was he did it with a literally perfect reboot cast.

>they arent gonna stop now
I think they are. They have literally crashed it into the ground. KK will leave after this one while they take their "hiatus" and make plans for the remakes of the originals by 2027. They own the rights. They are going to remake them...but they have to wait some time while people forget about how bad this trilogy was while they shit out some other smaller stuff every couple of years.

It's movie 3 and it's coasting off the villain from the two other trilogies instead of having it's own story built up in the past 2 movies.

Ghost Luke and Rey + Kylo should be shown in the full trailer because that's at least some shit TLJ set up for the next one

He should literally make commercials. That's it.

Doesn't help that Episodes 7 and 8 covered a span of a couple days and the new main trio hasn't been on screen together yet.

> feel like Luke had more character development in the first half hour of IV than Rey has had over two films.

That's because he did. Rey has no character at all. She can't even be arsed to build a new lightsaber after losing her old one like Luke and Anakin did. That's pretty emblematic of the whole sequel trilogy.

yeah it feels like this should be the 1st of a trilogy
end the skywalker line and transition to whatever with the 2nd and 3rd

I remember when I thought he really was going to become the next Spielberg, but as I saw more and more of his output, I started realizing that all he really is is a parrot. The first one it really hit me on was "Super 8." I remember how hyped I was for it, only to come out of it completely nonplussed by how someone so capable of mimicking the style of another director could be so clueless on how and when to apply their trademark techniques. It was like watching a two-hour mashup of homages with literally zero emotional impact.

disney just bought the franchise
they wont
theres gonna be next trilogy in 3 years or so
meanwhile there will be even more star wars movies, they are gonna build similar cinematic universe as with marvel

>Palpatine walks into scene from the shadows
>"How can you be here?! It's been so long since your evil claws got hands on the dying throat of democracy! You should be dead!"
>he cackles and clears his throat
>"I stole the midochlorians from the dying Snoke to extend my own life, granting me new power!"
>turns to the camera and dabs

So what you're saying is that JJ is a sexist who implies that women can't build their own lightsabers? I agree

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone dabbed

fpbp

Also he didnt rewrite the plot just because someone just guessed it right on the internet for the sake of keep the surprise, like Disney did when someone guessed Snoke as Plagueis

>turns out, when you don't plan out your trilogy and just hand out movies to whoever's hanging out around the office that day, you get a bunch of movies about people flying around and doing random stuff
lol

>corrected by them
Nig do your research he did almost all the plotting for better or worse.

yeah, like Luke and Leia kissing and no one knowing who the Jedi or Force are despite them existing on HoloTube videos a mere 20 years later

>rewrite the plot just because someone just guessed it right on the internet
Big if true.

Mid credits scene is Finn dabbing while Poe singing I'm Han Solo.
End credits scene is Rey giving birth to an alien baby

have sex

I feel the same. There's no epic saga.

What?! Don't you remember the epic way they had a slow chase in space where the outcome hinged on the factor of space fuel? That shit had me on the edge of my seat

Post credits is Fox Mulder hard banging Scully up her rosy red ass.
>Dana: "I TOLD YOU THAT BABY WASN"T MINE< HE ALWAYS DOES ME IN THE ASS"
>Fox: Wait... but... scull that doesn't mak...

Daily reminder a few months ago an user from special effects department in Bongland (where Hollywood shoots all their films since it's super high tech shit they don't wanna invest in) said that what happens in the film is this:

>The Star Killer Base was so powerful it broke space and time, creating a minute tear in reality (this is confirmed in the novelisation of the TFA)
>Luke didn't actually die at the end of TLJ but travelled through this tear into another dimension (explaining why his hand doesn't flop to the ground, the metal one)
>Luke travels to another dimension where the rebellion has won and there is no First Order (he didn't say no First Order, only that the rebellion had won, I assume they're either pre-FO or post defeating them)
>Luke recruits them to come back with him through the tear in space to boost the numbers of the basically dead rebellion in 'his' reality
>This then sets up the next trilogy which is essentially them fighting the First Order
This allows Disney to have genderswapped Han Solo (Hanna Solo) and all that jazz. Screencap this post.

This isn't even good fanfiction

Like How Han only had a turn of character cause Luke made him feel like shit and he realized there’s more to fight for than just money and himself. Finn decides not to flee cause the planet gets attacked and he says some hot White ass that he can chase after.

No, but that's what he said.

The worst part is i could sorta believe this, with JJ being the hack that he is, and parallell dimensions and time travel being his favorite things. it would ruin star wars canon forever, so someone might have told him no, but those things unironically sounds like a jj movie.

I think this is what they are unironically going for

But it's still dumb enough to be true.

Rian Johnson killed the entire franchise for me. I don't give a shit about 9 at all.

Aww come on user. TLJ shitposting was the comfiest this board has been in years. Why would you give up a potential second chance at that?
Just don't watch it in cinemas and instead be amazed at how stupid the spoilers sound

The Palpatine was not even a big reveal, it's said in the art of the last Jedi book that Luke had to pass because the final battle is going to happen in the spirit realm where Luke will face the ultimate evil pulling the strings from beyond the grave. Literally. It was right under our nose.

Rian is a dumbo with dumb bad ideas, but ALSO
1. He was rushed because lol lets make a movie every year
2. He didn't have much to work with after TFA
3. He really wanted to surprise everyone, thus he disregarded good ideas because some fan somewhere amongst billions would statistically correctly predict it
