Yay no more robot duck mask!

He'll have another one just like it.

 

[Unit 33]

 

[CortexVortex]

Oh my god.

 

[Glass Shark]

Looks like those ships with the red gas could be a new type of -Wing

 

[Bronx-Man]

Why they got my boy Finn taking a nap the whole movie smh

Karma for all the brothers that got themselves hyped for him in the build-up for TFA

We worked ourselves into a shoot and now we're paying the price.

 

[bill0527]

The art direction is so boring. Do we really need another desert planet.

Spoiler

Its not a desert planet. Its a salt planet. Which kind of looks like a desert planet, but it isn't.

.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

It's the Journal of the Whills.

Hoping it's something along those lines. That would be so cool.

 

[The Pope]

Timing was off and the shot of Kylo was the only standout. As another poster says it is a pitty the film seems to be going down the same light vs dark thing. Still in hype mode. I am sure Johnson and Disney wont disappoint.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Quoting myself from the Celebration thread:

On the one hand, that trailer was pretty damned cool, though I do have two major concerns:
1) The fleet battle we see feels very much like it's going to have the New Republic/Resistance getting curbstomped (hence the hangar scene), especially since this is likely going to be an ESB parallel.
2) Luke's last line. Yes, it's pretty damned epic and invites a lot of questions, but it also lends further credence to concerns that his entire character arc through the original trilogy is about to get tossed out the window. Whether he's right - because he's Luke fucking Skywalker - or wrong - because ultimately this is going to be Rey's arc, and I don't quite expect Star Wars to abandon the idea of a moral good - if the premise of this film requires that the culmination of Luke's story be either for nothing or to have extended an ages old problem feels... Uncomfortable.

 

[Secret Fawful]

This is going to be a thing, isn't it?

It's a good thing, though.

Psssh.

video games.

Whatever.

lol

I only know one truth. It's time for the de-canonization of grey Jedi...to end.

 

[Solo]

To be honest that was a pretty lame teaser. I'm sure the movie will be good but that's one of the least hype worthy teasers for a major film in a while.

I love the poster though. It's baller.

 

[- J - D -]

He'll have another one just like it.

Shhhhh.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What's a shoot

 

[Calm waterfall]

MEH.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

That was a much more hype teaser for me than The Force Awaken's initial teaser.

I'm excited

Me too actually. It doesn't even really show much, but the music, and the cinematography, and that last line. I'm an old nerd and I will never be as hype for Star Wars as I was when I was a kid but I got a few chills by the end. It's neat to be excited for a movie! Ha ha.

 

[RS4-]

Dare I say that I feel like Finn will wake up and suddenly be able to wield the force at some point in this series?

The Force is an implant.

He wakes up in the end credits scene.

 

[MadLaughter]

Timing was off and the shot of Kylo was the only standout. As another poster says it is a pitty the film seems to be going down the same light vs dark thing. Still in hype mode. I am sure Johnson and Disney wont disappoint.

I think the message of this teaser and the poster are more about ending the 'light vs dark' distinction, at least regarding the Force

 

[SpaceWolf]

The music is so damn good in this trailer.

In conjunction with Luke's haunted voiceover....wow.

 

[Ridisc]

Timing was off and the shot of Kylo was the only standout. As another poster says it is a pitty the film seems to be going down the same light vs dark thing. Still in hype mode. I am sure Johnson and Disney wont disappoint.

Doesnt Lukes words indicate its not going down this road, that light and dark are not the whole spectrum of possibilities?

 

[Bernbaum]

Regular old A-wings in this:

Really wanted to see new designs for fighters and ships.

Some hires stills from the trailer released:

 

[Snkfanatic]

Cannot wait. Looks incredible.

 

[Blunoise]

I think we're definitely on that path, yeah.

Is that sarcasm lol?

 

[Skab]

I'm guessing you didn't watch Thor Ragnarok and IT teaser trailer.

Just because it has the word "teaser" in the trailer title, doesn't mean it's actually a teaser. Those werent teasers. This was.

Just like the modern day "beta" in video games.

But keep being dismissive.

 

[Rockk]

Can't wait for the Nerd Crew episode on this.

 

[wildfire]

That was a teaser alright. 2 minutes have never felt this short in any other trailer.

Lots of LOTR panning shots.

 

[sphinx]

Leia. If you listen carefully you can hear "help me Obi Wan Kenobi" being whispered.

thanks!

one last question... who is it with R2 at 1:30?

(I feel like a terrible SW fan...-_- )

 

[Glass Shark]

Yo that's literally the exact opposite of what the trailer is saying my dude

 

[Hupsel]

It was an okay trailer. Nothing could have surpassed TFA trailer after so many years waiting for a new Star Wars.

Also John Williams <3 dude is a beast

 

[zelas]

Meh teaser but I'm still excited nontheless.

 

[t1gerjaw]

Meh, this teaser did nothing for me. Kinda boring actually.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Today is a very good day to hear bad and unoriginal takes on how Star Wars Is Bad, Actually

God, just let people enjoy a thing

"Boring! Red dust and crazy ships and more starfighters than anyone's ever seen? The Ozymandias shot but with a Jedi? FUCKIN SNORE LOL."

Sad!

 

[SpaceWolf]

Dare I say that I feel like Finn will wake up and suddenly be able to wield the force at some point in this series?

Oh god, no.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Looks like those ships with the red gas could be a new type of -Wing

Nah. Looks like some local planets' defense force.

 

[Inferno313]

Just because it has the word "teaser" in the trailer title, doesn't mean it's actually a teaser. Those werent teasers. This was.

Just like the modern day "beta" in video games.

But keep being dismissive.

Yes they were.

That Thor teaser is actually probably only footage from the first 1/3rd of the movie.

 

[Dirca]

Was that Palpatine's voice during the shot of Vader's helmet?

Think it was kylo's helmet

 

[Galactic Specter]

That was a very boring tease, nothing really hooked me on to this movie.

Looks like a Rian Johnson movie though!

 

[SilentRacoon]

I wonder if there is a reason for them to be drifting in the dirt like that, other than to just look cool.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Quoting myself from the Celebration thread:

Damn, I never even thought about how this changes Luke's journey in the OT.

 

[Ecotic]

That fool took a laser hot enough to melt through a thick metal space door to the face and came away with a thin ass cat scratch?

FOH

Exactly what I was thinking. It looked like a major disfigurement in VII. It's barely noticeable now.

 

[broony]

double post

 

[Cat Party]

Looks like those ships with the red gas could be a new type of -Wing

That's not gas. They're scraping the dirt to make dust for some reason.

 

[Metroidvania]

TBH I'm concerned at the 'dismantling' of the force as we traditionally understand it.

On one hand, I can appreciate the attempt to bring the 'more nuanced' examination of the force brought up by the EU into the main series.

On the other, it seems that it'd be really, really easy to fuck things up.

Some of that is gonna depend on what exactly Luke's referring to, obviously (i.e. losing whatever dogma he held onto from Obi-wan/Yoda versus 'there shouldn't be force users'), but I'm not overly enthused atm.

2) Luke's last line. Yes, it's pretty damned epic and invites a lot of questions, but it also lends further credence to concerns that his entire character arc through the original trilogy is about to get tossed out the window. Whether he's right - because he's Luke fucking Skywalker - or wrong - because ultimately this is going to be Rey's arc, and I don't quite expect Star Wars to abandon the idea of a moral good - if the premise of this film requires that the culmination of Luke's story be either for nothing or to have extended an ages old problem feels... Uncomfortable.

Yeah, this kind of sums up my thoughts as well. This conversation/premise has already come up in TFA, but I'm kind of hoping they're really careful in handling Luke's character. Obviously shit went south, but they're gonna have to run a fine line between 'depressed old man' and 'not Luke anymore'.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

It's still weird just seeing Ireland there.

 

[dankir]

Disney are going to make another several billion dollars from their MCU and billions from The Last Jedi alone.

 

[nubbe]

the fundamentalist dogma of the Jedi and Sith is dead

 

[chaislip3]

Some hires stills from the trailer released:

Rian Johnson's gonna pull through

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Man, the soundtrack sends a jolt to my balls. The way they do these trailers is just a different league the ones recently. I love how similar it is to the trailer for the previous movie. The first few frames makes you think it's a movie from decades ago.

 

[Reagan's BR]

To be honest that was a pretty lame teaser. I'm sure the movie will be good but that's one of the least hype worthy teasers for a major film in a while.

I love the poster though. It's baller.

Hoping it's so they don't give away any plot details. Most of the shots were of Rey training.

 

[Darth Pinche]

I bet this is Finn flying the new whatever-wing.
