So how is this movie going to handle the opening crawl considering it takes place right after TFA anyway? It can't just summarize TFA, can it.
isnt that literally the job of the opening crawl

i'm pretty sure you're confusing RLM with someone else cuz I don't remember RLM really pushing that much at all (in fact they liked TFA)
They like the characters, didn't like the story / ANH retreading.
Swing and a miss on that one.

It is a dark time for the
Rebellion. Although the Death
Star has been destroyed,
Imperial troops have driven the
Rebel forces from their hidden
base and pursued them across
the galaxy.
Evading the dreaded Imperial
Starfleet, a group of freedom
fighters led by Luke Skywalker
has established a new secret
base on the remote ice world
of Hoth.
The evil lord Darth Vader,
obsessed with finding young
Skywalker, has dispatched
thousands of remote probes into
the far reaches of space....
I predict this movie will begin with the incident at the Jedi school, not sure how the crawl will go
Didn't they like ST: Beyond? That movie was absolute trash.

Sucks for you. I liked it, closest in spirit to the OG Trek.
i wish RLM just gave out of five review scores so we could have an objective barometer of their bigotry.
but this is ESB's crawl
I guess I forgot about ANH ending in a downer note, and all those scenes in Hoth too

Star Wars isn't really the place to go seeking/expecting mind bending twists though. Outside of the one time Lucas pulled that big one straight out his ass, they don't really work too well.
Star Wars is mostly straight ahead fairy tale shit. Nothing too twisty.
One of the more frustrating points of TFA. It's unclear just what kind of redundancies the Republic has in place or if this means the First Order will steamroll the galaxy to set themselves up in the dominant position for the rest of the trilogy.
(sorry for the ugly format, just did a quick search)

I also figured it could start with a flashback to that. Maybe the crawl would describe events prior to that. That would be a bit of a twist, I guess.
I'd imagine the First Order will be pushing hard to fill the void. Their plan must have originally been to destroy the Republic with Starkiller Base and then take back control. Sure the Resistance managed to destroy Starkiller Base but not before the Republic (or most of it at least) were completely wiped out.
I wouldn't be surprised if TLJ opened with a big battle sequence to show how dire the situation now is and how close they are to securing the dominant position. I think opening the film with a First Order victory would be pretty cool.
This post went off on a weird tangent I guess.
Hey, better a weird tangent (or an extended riff {or a prolonged back and forth}) that shows clear thought and reasoning than, say, an empty "witty" driveby where the gun jams up and the car stalls out.
I don't know if that last part was a dig at some of my other posts, but be warned, I'm not giving those up either.

ANH pretty much already gives you that every time the Death Star is on screen.all we are lacking is a DUN DUN DUUUUN sting after Obi says "That's no moon, it's a space station"
main villain is the main hero's father
Has GAF ever had a topic for a movie's teaser/trailer go over 5,000 posts in under 1 a week? This thread is crazy.

I think so too. It's got more profound implications. You can tell it's all about mystery, mythology, characters and story. Basically the things that made ESB so incredible.Looking back at the TFA teaser, if you remove the "holy shit, SW is back" factor I think this teaser is actually better.
I'd just like to note that it's been a while since I saw a nested parenthetical done properly and it made me smile.

Word.VII teaser made me collapse into a puddle of joy.
VIII teaser makes me think.
They both have their merits.
Wait.. Thinking? In my SW? I thought these films were just about space wizards and made for 12 year oldsVII teaser made me collapse into a puddle of joy.

Rian Johnson to make Oscar bait confirmed.Wait.. Thinking? In my SW? I thought these films were just about space wizards and made for 12 year olds
Or is Kylo landing with a small shuttle and it is more mano a mano?
Speaking of ESB, what are the chances of seeing an amphibious assault on Ach-To?
Gotta sell those ATW-ATs that are water proof.

I would kill for an awesome water chase scene that advances the plot in an interesting waySpeaking of ESB, what are the chances of seeing an amphibious assault on Ach-To?
