Cheers JJ. That trailer was exactly what I needed to help me keep my expectations low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You bastard.

It could just be 120 minutes of an aged Han and Leia eating soup and I would lap that shit up like it was sweat from Katy Perry's arsecrack.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I was never really into Star Wars but that looks good. Hope that jar jar blinks fella is in it he's the best... So funny.

[Cardie]

Real  time I think, 30 years. 

 

Would be an odd story mechanic to make out that a significant portion of Star Wars canon (a galactic war, the rise and fall of a galactic empire, the extermination of the Jedi, the rise of the sith and Jar Jar Binks) could be forgotten in what amounts to half a decade.

[Cardie]

Episode 8 is out in May 2017 and Episode 9 in 2019, so not really.

 

That Daisy lass is obviously the main character - she's front and centre in the poster and first up in the trailer.

 

I'm hoping that all the clips of Boyega with a lightsaber and facing up to Kylo Ren is just a curve ball and Daisy Ridley turns out to be the Jedi. Given the new poster I would very much enjoy seeing her flinging a double ended dil........light sabre around.

I believe (IMO) looking back, the Jedi were totally unknown in the original trilogy. Whilst we (fans/real people) know the story of Luke, no one in that Far Far away Galaxy knows the story, they just know the Empire was destroyed. Let us not forget that Luke was totally unaware of The Force, despite growing up on a planet that had seen the excess of a Hateful Anakin. 

 

Hence, Han saying "It's true. All of it. The Dark side. The Jedi. They're real."  No one is denying the destruction of the Death Star just the myth of the Jedi, that ended during Episode III. 

[Cardie]

That only works if the prequels hadn't established the jedi as a peace keeping force/trump card/front and centre throughout the galaxy. I'm down with certain individuals being myths but not all of it being forgotten within 50 years, if that turns out to be the case.

The swelling music as the Millenium falcon emerges is incredible. Have watched it nearly 20 times and Wililams' score still gives me goosebumps.

That alone turns me back into a wide eyed mesmerised 7 year old kid again. I can't wait to so see this with my 7 year old son and hope he gets the same from it as me all those years back.

[Hades]

Yep, it's the love theme from Empire Strikes Back given the full orchestral treatment. Can't wait to see if Williams pulls out a variation of the Imperial March like he did with Duel of Fates from The Phantom Menace.

Nah I think that's more than conceivable if the Empire had total control over the media and the education system, look how quickly Hitler changed German society. Han Solo says to Obi Wan that he's never seen anything which makes him think there's some all encompassing force controlling his destiny. That Moff dude cites Vader's 'sad devotion to an ancient religion'. 

 

It seems that by that time it's become a bit of a myth/figure of fun. 

[Section_31]

Have always wanted to grab a tannoy in a supermarket and shout 'imperial troops have entered the base, imperial troops...' Bet the sad cunts wouldn't get it though and would just carry on shopping.

I think it's best to ignore that the prequels ever existed.

[Tony Moanero]

Correct.

[Anubis]

Yup. The whole tone of that trailer evokes Episode IV.

[Section_31]

Yep, they mention the dark side and not the sith. We're deffo back to wild west rather than shit about VAT.

[Hades]

Daisy Ridley looks a lot like Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman. This may or may not be a spoiler.

You can't have a bird for the hero!! She'll be taking episode 8 off to have a baby and then who's gonna save the galaxy?

[Charles Penrose]

I've never really been a fan of Star Wars and it was only recently that I understood the appeal.

 

I watched an episode of Button Moon and when Tina Teaspoon watched the paper circus I was taken right back to my childhood. It's the same thing really.

[General Dryness]

One of the main villains is a bird too. Equal opportunities.

[Creator Supreme]

It'll be shit, just like the other six!!

 

Up yours star wars fuckers!!

Yer ma.

Luke, I am yer ma.

Do I need to put my theories in spoilers even  though they're just theories? Can't do tags on this Mac for some reason. 

 

 

Anyway. I'll put it below. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suspect Kylo and Dassy are Solo and Leia's kids and Han dies at Kylo's hands. That's why they've both got the force as they're Anakin's grandkids. I also wonder if Fin is Lando's kid, as none of the merchandise features a second name.
