Episode 1 had a ton of people hyped, still like the movie tbh , darth maul was an awesome character who should have stayed alive for all 3 movies and the pod race was cool B^)

Episode II was pretty shitty and episode III was just ok

But if you compare them to the original trilogy I can see how people hate them but to each their own.



Is lando gonna be in this movie? Billy Dee is the best.
 
I don't know why, but I get the feeling that the 'First Order' is going to be somewhat more doctrinal and dogmatic than the OT's Empire. I found the line very fascinating from Ep IV when an officer mocks Vader's "religion"

I'm sort of seeing this new Empire as the East Roman Empire or the Holy Roman Empire to the original Roman Empire. In the OT the empire seems very Ideological and concerned with politics. Even though a Sith Lord sat at the top. The impetus is clearly dogmatic on ushering the clarity of the dark side. But to do so the Empire heavily relied on bringing down the democratic system from the core and bootstrapping itself to existing infrastructure.

In the collapse of the Empire, I see a much stronger Sith presence in this "First Order"

I think there were rumours that the chrome trooper wields a lightsaber, so maybe the First Order is willing to have Force users among the troops.

Really interesting comparison to the East Roman Empire, etc. I like that.

I too think the core of this First Order will acknowledge the role that a Sith leader played in the greatness of the Empire, and they will attempt to restore themselves to greatness by cultivating Sith leadership.
 
The sequence where the Falcon goes into the Super Star Destroyer is pretty cool, but how can the pilot be sure that there's a way out?

never a truer word said.

I really don't want to see a load of lightsaber wankery

Yeah, same.
People keep saying the prequals had better lightsaber battles but I strongly disagree.
The original trilogy made them look like space samurai's fighting each other to the death while the prequels made it look like a couple of dudes with glow sticks doing a dance recital.
It looks bad. I hope they don't go back to the over the top shit.
 
Rey is the new Jedi. Quite possibly a Solo. Why would Leia and Han orphan their daughter is up to speculation.

Poe is what Wedge would've been if he hung out with the classic characters.

Finn is not a Jedi. He carries the lightsaber cause he wants to find its owner.

Kylo Ren possibly has some relation to Rey. Maybe he is her brother? Or Luke's son? The family drama is integral to Star Wars conflict so this is a likely possibility. It would also explain why Kylo is collecting Skywalker swag.

The Empire fell like Germany did in WW1, but it led to a fanatical Order like the Nazis in WW2. It has hints of modern global politics as they seem to resort to terror attacks on civilians which leads Finn to turn away.

Yeah, you are making some good points. I wonder just how crazy the Order will be and if they will set up a new Vader like figure.

Just file the the prequels in the same draw as "Star Wars:Caravan of Courage" and "Star Wars: The Holiday Special" He's gone now, they don't need to exist anymore

Exactly, just remember the basic plot points/key characters and erase the rest of the prequels from memory.
 
Was that scene that long in the movie? I don't remember.

They gave time to it certainly. Notice how they cut away though in this impression version. They are trying to stretch it over the whole trailer. Over a nearly 3 hour move, 2 minutes is not that long.

I thought it was even longer in the movie, as in maybe as long as the trailer or longer but they cut bits in that video so it fit the Star Wars trailer better.
 
Something intangible felt really "off" in the first teaser, so I wasn't very excited for this movie. But this trailer totally nails the feel of Star Wars.

Here's hoping the movie isn't some overpolished fanservicey thing like Star Trek was.
