I can see the inspiration or at least where the pic is coming from, even if it's not intentional.

Idk if this has been talked about anywhere else, but I think it's pretty obvious her armor isn't meant for stealth. It's a means of intimidation.
What, are you kidding? They wear masks! MASKS!

Thanks.
How is it spoilers when it's all guess-work from looking at a trailer?
Not in canon. Sidious first made an alliance with Mother Talzin but decided to kidnap her son (Maul) instead and raised him as his apprentice. Then he started swaying Dooku to his side, who used the alias Tyranus to help create the clone army until Maul "died" and was then properly raised to the level of Sithhood as Darth Tyranus (at least, this is the implication - it's never said anywhere that he actually became a Sith prior to Maul's death). Palpatine then started working on Anakin and after Tyranus died he anointed him as Darth Vader.
The Sith can have multiple acolytes, like how Dooku used Asajj Ventress and Savage Opress, or how Vader and Sheev use the Inquisitors during Rebels, but there are only two Sith (officially at least) at one time under the Banite rules. The only time where we know this was broken was when Maul turned out to still be alive and came back with the Shadow Collective in opposition to Sidious, claiming that he and his brother were the true Sith.

And blindness. I'm surprised we didn't see more of her actually and no new Hux scenes at all as far as I can see. I have a feeling he'll be the Tarkin of the film.

correct about everything
piece of advice the filmmakers should have taken.

The irony here is that you're the one that sounds somber as hell.
It's on the front page of the Off Topic Community board right now but I PM'd it to you so nobody here accidentally clicks it.
Just ignore everything at the beginning of the thread though, it's all wrong and based on half-informed speculation from a year ago.
I'm in two minds. I like the way it looks, but the bits you see of the story look like massive pandering, that absolutely killed my joy for the Star Trek reboot films. If this is going to follow the same footprint of basically copying the original series but with new actors and a few old actors for nostalgia sake, I'm going to be really disappointed.

The trailer was a masterpice. So hyped for this.
I really want a new Rogue Squadron game by the way.

I think Han dies and Chewie has carried him to Rey. I also think the Carrie Fisher scene with Han is them embracing before he leaves to help and Leia has a bad feeling about it.... either that or Chewie has died. I think Luke will have a small part mainly towards the end and will be in episode 8 for helping to train the new jedi.

Yeah that's how I feel.
I bought some tickets for the first weeke any way. Hopefully if all else fails I can take in the nice production design, which star wars is always good for.

It's great. Just great. I can't understand anyone not looking forward to it after the trailers. The movie might be shit, but the trailers have been awesome.

I think the same can be said about Stormtroopers in general though, unless they're on Hoth then they have the best armor ever.

Yeah, C3PO is still gonna be there with R2, i fully expect them to keep up their teasing ways
Well it is not like Star Wars has ever been the bastion of great writing.

Anyone think Jar Jar is still alive in this new timeline?
Wait... what's great writing? I'm pretty sure Star Wars is quoted left and right ; isn't that good writing, somehow?

I think the trailer is great it gives it a more subtle field then a more action oriented vibe. I will say it didn't have that intense factor as the prequel trailers did but to me it's something different and I just hope the movie is good.
Empire Strikes Back has some great writing

I keep watching this trailer and I keep tearing up. After the bitter disappointments of the prequels it looks like we are finally getting new Star Wars.
It's not like I'm some old fuck either. I was in second grade when Episode 1 came out and when I was a kid I just enjoyed the spectacle. It's only been in the past ~10 years rewatching them that I grew to hate them.

Count me in the camp that was trying hard not to be to hype about this movie. I thought the first two trailers were so so, but this one knocked it out of the park. The music, the homages to the previous trilogy, the introduction of the new generation to carry the series forward, it all struck the right chord with me. Count me in as a believer now. I'll be one of the clowns lining up in Jedi gear to see this one.

It has some bad writing but there's also some fucking great stuff as well.

Given the rapidity with which it broke the internet last night, I'd say the movie-going public ain't hopping on this train with you. You ride it alone. Trailblazer.

Leia and Han are going to steal the show. That love theme. The foreshadowing.

The terrible lines are the ones Lucas wrote.

I know.
Wasn't written.
Yeah, it's amazing the feelings it's conjuring up. I'm older and grew up with Star Wars but after the disappointment that was the prequel trilogy these trailers are just tugging all the right heart strings. Abrams seems to know what he's dealing with and I don't think we'll be disappointed.
FWIW my brother and I went to a midnight opening night showing of Ep 1 and it was dead silent when the lights came up. No clapping. Someone finally yelled out "That sucked!". We wanted to like it but we were so let down. It kinda looked like star wars but it didn't feel like star wars. I generally don't acknowledge the prequels and have no interest in rewatching them.
Some make this black and white and you might just have Seven Samurai.

Just noticed all the dead bodies around them
Maybe it's just my nostalgia goggles talking but any bad writing in the OT is saved by the fantastic delivery by the cast, your example not excluded.
That line was said by Ford on the spot. Not part of the original script.
that's a fair amount of bodies lying around them :/

No Star Wars at all without George though.
