no way rey comes out of this looking to be in danger or flawed

I read posts like this and just think that some people are really transparent about not being able to handle a competent lead also being a woman. Literally a shot in the trailer of her being tortured.

 

[Pineapple]

I'll be impressed if they have the balls to make Rey evil and stay evil

It needs to happen. I want to see Rey overthrow Snoke and take control of the First Order by the end of Episode IX.

But it won't happen.

 

[Anung]

So if he dies before the movie ends do you lose?

Depends on how good looking his corpse is.

What if Luke is talking about himself with the raw power? 🤔

 

[Electric Eye]

Perhaps the Sith weren't the ultimate masters of the dark side.

The new canon books allude to this. Palpatine suspected that his power came from an area of the unknown regions outside the known galaxy. The same place the Imperial remnant sets a course to after the battle Jakku. Accompanied by a young naval officer named Armitage Hux...

So this guys stumbled onto the sith power, learns/masters is without a master to teach him and loves to wear golf pijamas? They better have a good explanation on how a non sith is out powering the force.

It's even funnier when you flip it lol.

 

[Surfinn]

Lol this thread beat out the JL trailer thread in what an hour

 

[Ctlead]

This looks damn good.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I'll bet 20,000 midiclorians that the last shot of the trailer is the last shot of the movie.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Whew. That was amazing!

 

[Betty]

Her quads must be ripped

Everyone should watch her training video if you haven't, she puts in the work.

[Michael F. Assbender]

If Kylo turns, I’ll be so fucking pissed...

 

[Surfinn]

Is that Hux?

If Kylo turns, I’ll be so fucking pissed...

Spoiler

Not happening

 

[NYR]

I'll bet 20,000 midiclorians that the last shot of the trailer is the last shot of the movie.

I’ll take that bet, I’ll put up my pod racer.

Straight SHOOK!

This works really well with the Mortal Kombat music.

It's even funnier when you flip it lol.

she looks like elastigirl when she turns into a boat lmao

 

[blackflag]

Next to R2, is that...Yoda?

You are hallucinating

 

[Lifejumper]

Yup this shit is misdirection: the trailer. We have not seen anything yet. https://mobile.twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/917582846558011393

 

[Boudica]

Ok so judging from the reactions on the first page, I'd be wise to have just seen the first trailer and go blind the rest of the way in eh?

 

[GhaleonEB]

I didn't notice before how that giant gate/door is closing slowly. They're running to hide inside.

 

[IronicSonic]

Oh yeah, I see it now

Misdirection indeed!

This is a master piece

 

[Not]

I read posts like this and just think that some people are really transparent about not being able to handle a competent lead also being a woman. Literally a shot in the trailer of her being tortured.

I'm telling you dude, she has to be helpless and rescued by a dude or they'll never buy that she's not "too powerful."

That's literally what they're waiting for.

 

[The Chosen One]

Is that a CG Carrie Fisher or did she finish filming the movie before she passed away?

 

[Lizzy]

It needs to happen. I want to see Rey overthrow Snoke and take control of the First Order by the end of Episode IX.

But it won't happen.

Why do so many men want this? I don't understand it. Can you not handle a female hero or something?

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Yup this shit is misdirection: the trailer. We have not seen anything yet. https://mobile.twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/917582846558011393

It's like he just saw it for the first time or something?

 

[ginger ninja]

I’m definitely on the side that she and kylo are siblings now. She may have even had something to do with the Jedi Temple getting destroyed.

She's star wars phenoix 'force' and snoke is the enabler, she couldn't control his powers as a kid and destroys the temple. Thus luke is forced to exile his own daughter/niece/family friend's kid.

I am going full tinfoil here.

 

[molnizzle]

So this guys stumbled onto the sith power, learns/master is without a master to teach him and loves to wear golf pijamas? They better have a good explanation on how a non sith is out powering the force.

The implication is that Snoke was on a higher level than Palpatine all along, perhaps even the one shaping his abilities and directing him. He was always more powerful than the Sith. He (or his order, or whatever we will find out) was the source of the Sith's power. He didn't stumble onto the dark side. He allowed Palpatine to wield it.

That's the theory, at least. Supported by bread crumbs left in the new canon books.

 

[TheXbox]

I can't help but feel that this is going to be the ending shot. That window shot is waaaaay too familiar

Nope. This is the same hangar that gets trashed during Finn v Phasma.

Maybe early in the film. Kylo recovering from Starkiller Base, stressing, meditating, and finally dispatched by Snoke to kill his mother and finalize his commitment to the dark side (which he can't do).

 

[itwasTuesday]

It's even funnier when you flip it lol.

Looks like shes practicing to be a wing suit diver.

 

[III-V]

Now we see Yoda and R2D2 together and Evil Rey and Luke. This obviously the new direction as indicated by will not go how you think it will.

Spoiler

nope wtf some of you gone crazy

 

[NimbusD]

They should have had him staring at the beam between window panes like dark knight:

 

[TraBuch]

Guarantee Kylo is holding his hand out to Finn.

 

[Rumblebones]

Leia wasn't the hero like Luke is the hero. Rey is.

Rey is the first female central protagonist.

Leia is still the first female hero in SW.

 

[Surfinn]

It's even funnier when you flip it lol.

Oh my god

What have you done

 

[Albino_Yeti]

pretty much

no way rey comes out of this looking to be in danger or flawed

You're probably right, and that's precisely why I don't really like Rey. Ridley does a great job playing her, but she is too perfect. Even Wonder Woman had flaws.

 

[LowParry]

Jesus H that was amazing.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

So many questions here, can't wait to see the answers.

WTF is a Porg

No pod is worth that, not by a long shot!

Some of her TLJ workout videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olhNJlQMKFk

She's ripped.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Straight trash from clearly the middle of the movie
100% make sure someone else pays for this for me

 

[vatstep]

Yup this shit is misdirection: the trailer. We have not seen anything yet. https://mobile.twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/917582846558011393

Hmm, what changed? Did they release a different cut?

 

[MMarston]

Oh my god

What have you done

I need a Kaz-ified version.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

Guys, stop with the conspiracy theories that Rey's talking to Snoke at the end of the trailer.

Take a look at the bottom of the frame and look at what outfit Rey is wearing in that shot. It's her outfit from the end of TFA and the one she seems to be wearing in various forms during her stay at Ahch-To. The outfit she's wearing when she meets Snoke seems to be something she only dons in the third act of the film.

Rey is almost definitely talking to Luke in that scene. Not Snoke, not Kylo. Luke.

 

[Not]

God, I love snowy effects through a window. The color grading choice is 👌

Best. Mood.

 

[Albino_Yeti]

WTF is a Porg

A space puppy.

Why do so many men want this? I don't understand it. Can you not handle a female hero or something?

It literally has nothing to do with her being a woman.

Having the main hero turn dark would be a great twist to separate this from the other trilogies.

 

[J_Viper]

Great trailer. Those visuals are something else.

I won't get too excited yet for now. The trailers for TFA made it look way more serious than the actual film was.

Fuck that furby shit though

 

[Fj0823]

I'm telling you dude, she has to be helpless and rescued by a dude or they'll never buy that she's not "too powerful."

That's literally what they're waiting for.

Actually All I needed to forgive her stupid free powers in TFA is Luke/Anyone telling us she's some sort of force monster, a one in a million thing, which this trailer seems to imply.
