Star Wars 8 shit talk

looking forward to the Kessel Run song cycle

we're moving into a post-jedi society where anyone can recognize and feel the force, some are just better at it than others. stop giving people jedi awards just because they're good at it!

Muggles need to feel special too.

Well, possible SPOILER, but...

The French title will be Les Derniers Jedi. It's meant to be plural... That's so stupid.

I think it's a bit of a lame title. Too similar to Return of the Jedi.

lol when my 8-year-old saw the title he INSTANTLY said "luke's dead????"

still prefer "The Lost Jedises"

Read that as "Les Derrieres Jedi."

Separately, this sounds about right:

I actually would be happier if Jar Jar embraced the Empire and was using his antic to indoctrinate children into it.

these books are immediately post-empire, so maybe he had a period of that on the upswing before his downfall

after the fall, I mean, not post-ESB

I'm a bit sad that G-Lu chickened out of his Jar Jar is a Sith lord twist.

@RadioTimes
We now know the three words Luke Skywalker first says to Rey in #StarWars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

"See Corvette Summer?"

I got like 60 retweets yesterday by responding to that with "Bernie would've won."

"How's my wife"

thrilled that pod racing is coming back

could've done with more dialogue and newness after such a long wait but that's teasers huh

Supposedly 90 minutes of the movie is a court procedural about the how to replace the Republic govt that was just massacred

Star Wars: Bleak House

Anyway, liked the glimpses. Guess we're getting nothing else until September or so.

So far this movie seems to be about training and galactic crop dusting

is "galactic crop dusting" farting on an entire planet as you fly past it

what else could it be?

wait, "such a long wait," seriously?

The teaser for TFA was over a year before its release and based on what I read I hoped they were dispensing with a teaser in favour of a full trailer for this one due to that Rogue One related delay. I'm absolutely an impossible to satisfy ingrate anyway tho.

yeah I can't wait to find out the explanation for those thingamadrones making a mess of the surface of whatever that planet with the red dusty filling is

also I thought for a second they brought back the B-Wing, but no

Nashwan is already demanding an Episode IX teaser trailer. Oh I know.

Haha my mentality is just kinda like, given that these things are coming out annually, and theere's no way to quench the dulling sense of banal ubiquity brought on by omnipresent merchandising and shit, then their only hope of making the movie feel remotely fresh and exciting would be to limit the output of trailers and commercials for the thing itself. Like, they've lost all chance of making a new Star Wars movie coming out feel like a special event, but it's still maybe possible that sitting down in the theater as the lights go down could feel like an exciting step into the unknown.

The red dust is cobalt sulfate from the salt plain surface. Those craft probably use it for fuel or powering their AT-AT-tumbling tripwires. And because the film has an insane quota of redness to hit.

Most interesting bits to me: more of the 'Luke's new Jedi school/students get trashed' flashback and why Vader's mask relic is trashed too (and who did it).

that's kylo's mask if i'm seeing it right

Kylo's going to get angry and smash his mask, or maybe someone else does it

gah that poster is cool as hell

Re: mask -- you know, I think you're right. Had to squint a bit.

Makes me think in combination with everything else that a key theme appears to be NOT repeating the past...which given the history of the franchise, well, that would be something.

He's gonna smash his mask on top of Darth Vader's mask and what they show in the trailer is the resultant double mask debris

and re teaser: I AM EXCITE

He chews up a couple of masks and spreads the resultant paste between two intact masks.

That first shot of Rey in the trailer is a nice callback to the Episode VII trailer and that jumpy shot of Finn that kicked it off.

Yeah, was thinking that. Nice touch!

https://arstechnica.com/the-multiverse/2017/04/star-wars-the-last-jedi-trailer-is-basically-an-explosion-of-awesome/ <- is it just me or did AL actually write better at io9?

One of the things that has me extra excited about this flick is that it's directed by Rian Johnson, whose previous films Looper and Brick were superlative.

The Brothers Bloom, jerks

Are they going to blow up the Death Star in this one?

also I thought for a second they brought back the B-Wing, but no
