@warzan – same here; does that mean the next trilogy will be an adaption of Dark Empire? ?

Also “Rise of Skywalker”?  Conspiracy theory time, Luke will return via his Force Ghost possessing his clone – you heard it here first people!

Looks interesting. Then again I am not among those that hate new trilogy and I am positive about every new SW movie except for Solo that I felt wasn’t needed at all so I am sure to go to watch this one when it’s finally out as well no matter what people on internet say. I rather form my own opinion than follow opinions of vocal minority.

You know,  I usually have a quick gut level reaction to trailers.  This time the whole thing leaves me skeptical.  Instead of drawing me into the story I still feel like I’m standing on the outside looking in.

Also as to the laughter, one might say it’s “Palpable”.

I enjoy them. They are the Republic Serials of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers for modern times.

Struggling to find the joy for this, Last Jedi really put me off. Enjoyed the Lando movie, and Rebels knocked it out the park for me, but it’s going to have to be really good for me to get over Last Jedi.

As to Carrie Fisher and her appearance in film IX…..   It was said that the last director, (who shall remain nameless), to shoot a Star Wars ‘Skywalker’ film shot a large amount of Mz Fisher and some of that footage could be used by a clever editor.  Anything else that might be needed can be generated by ILM as was done in ‘Rogue ONE’.

I’m excited for the new Star Wars movie. I think the trailer looks great. Long time fan of the series and I didn’t care for the prequels, but the new movies don’t bother me.
