[TRAILER] Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

[Salthorae]

I have mixed feelings about it. Back when I watched the Clone Wars episode in which it was revealed that Darth Maul didn’t die, I realized that Palpatine probably hadn’t either and that the only reason to do a sequel to the original trilogy was if he came back. Otherwise, how is it a continuation of the same story? Probably why the first two movies (Episodes 7 and 8) have seemed to be pointlessly flailing around.

I haven't felt that about the first two movies personally, but I see the point. I knew it was a possibility given a) he came back in the EU when that was a thing and b) ALL of the call-backs and returning OT characters who have populated this film. It makes sense that ultimately the BBEG from the OT would show his wrinkly face as well.

It's just a bit of a disappointment.

It could still work.

I was just very much looking forward to the culmination and clash between Rey and Kylo against the backdrop of the Resistance/First Order battle a la Return of the Jedi. They look like they're still doing that, but it doesn't seem to be the main FOCUS. Which will be Palpatine.

We'll see!

Looks good to me so far. Pretty excited. Hoping to get to see this in a free early viewing through work as I had with the rest of the new Trilogy.

Also, I think the cavalry charge is on the newly rising Star Destroyers, so likely still in atmosphere. Regardless, this looks visually stunning.

The one shot with just so many ships has me really excited to see those on screen for probably like twenty seconds.

@1:50 What did Rey and Kylo destroy together? Could it be Palpatine?

It isn't necessarily "amphibious" in design. It may just have been sunken. Rising from the water is strong imagery for resurgence.

They literally have resurgence class Star Destroyers and they have 10 or 20 time the weapons of the ISDs.

They're the first order Star Destroyer.

It was a great visuals just thought it was a bit silly. The ice ocean planet looked amazing and the iceberg on pause with it's reflection looked a bit like Cloud City.

There's a lot of throwbacks to the OT.

The they can bust out old Y and B wings it would be interesting if they have some old clone wars ships as well like Palps has a Venator or something.

It's outsold one of the Avenger movies in presales already. Endgame or that other big one.

Just another teaser trailer masquerading as a real preview. There's not enough here of plot or characters to get excited about, in my opinion. Kylo and Rey will fight … again. Poe and Finn will team up to shoot lasers from a vehicle while screaming "woo!" … again. Skimming vehicles like snowspeeders. Chewie in the Millennium Falcon. Sinister old man in a robe. It hits all the familiar beats but really gives me nothing to look forward to yet.
What the heck is the plot? Drop something in there: "The First Order has found something in the Far Reaches, an old evil we thought had been destroyed...." There's absolutely nothing in this trailer but set pieces, which frankly leaves me concerned about the film.

Just another teaser trailer masquerading as a real preview.

What does that even mean?

 

[Zardnaar]

Probably it doesn't give enough information.

I suspect the Knights of Ten will underwhelm they'll get chopped to bits by Rey or Palpatine.

They're pushing the Emperor hard so how that relates to the first order will be key.

They might handwave that like the first order joins him but it's gonna feel rushed since the didn't foreshadow Palpatines survival in the previous two movies.

If they rush things to much due to pacing it kind if undermined the previous two find and they've already undermined the RotJ ending.

How they handle it will be key otherwise you're going to have 3 disjointed films using Star Wars as a back drop.

Probably it doesn't give enough information.

Thank goodness. I'm tired of trailers which spoil the film.
