Wow, that was shitty... went back to read this thread from the beginning to see reactions and ended up having the film spoiled thanks to someone apparently quoting spoilers that someone posted and then took down. Also, spoilers are apparently abound in all manner of trailers or reaction videos thanks to assholes on the YouTube comments.
Fuck..
Fuck..
Watching it now. Surprising how Obi-Wan's voice actor sounds just like Ewan Mcgregor. I assume it's the same guy in the CGI series?

There needs to be some anti-spoiler browser extension leveraging some combination of big data techniques (think Google) + user reporting + a heuristical approach of some kind...
It's too ambitious for an independent developer to take on, but I don't envisage this being undoable or even very challenging if you have the right resources at your disposal.

Good point. I guess it's telling that I skipped past that idea and went straight to anti-spoiler AI.
Just googled him. Impressive resume.

So when does TCW animated series get really good? Sort of want to go through it and rebels because of the praise, but I watched the first 8 episodes or so and it just felt like I was forcing myself through it hoping for it to get good. Mind you, I don't even hate the prequel era. I was born in '92 and sort of have a guilty pleasure with the era.
Season 3 is where it gets legendary. But look at the guide I posted above. It highlights the most important episodes of each season. There's sone real gems buried in the "meh ok"Ness of seasons 1 and 2

It's funny how similar TCW's quality curve is to Star Trek: TNG's, mainly in that the former's Season 1 is uniformly bad-to-mediocre with a few standouts like Ambush and Lair of Grievous, Season 2 is a general improvement yet has some complete non-starters like Senate Murders, and Season 3 is pretty much gold end-to-end. From there, both series fall into a consistent quality, with some weirdness going on in the final season before closing out with a well-made, thematically-appropriate finale.
Actually comparing the series from a quality perspective is another ballgame entirely, but it's nevertheless a funny thing I noticed.

Re-watching the trailer (yeah, again...) I noticed that before the very first shot, as Rey is pulling something aside, it looks like... stars. Like, space. Just very briefly. But then it cuts to just... Rey, alone, a sense of loneliness and isolation. However just before that, that brief glimpse of what looks like space, could that be symbolic of... she's like Luke, she's small and lonely for now, but there are greater things to come for her?

Yeah, that shot where she's watching the starship leave is basically her "no where, I guess" moment.

People have been contemplating this could be the very first shot of the film. The usual star field comes up after studio logos, the opening crawl goes past over that star field, then instead of tilting down like it usually does to some space scene the whole thing opens up revealing Rey, and you realize it wasn't stars at all but specs of light bleeding through holes in some panel that she takes off.
And I think her opening line of dialog in the trailer actually gets at exactly what you are saying. Who is she? She believes she's no one. Just some small, insignificant nobody in the vast galaxy.

That would be extremely cool, but we also get a shot in the second trailer where her speeder is cruising along Jakku and we see the Star Destroyer in the distance, and I'm thinking that we see that first, she's traveling to it. So I dunno. That would be an incredible transition though.
Yeah, that's possible, but it seems like there are multiple star destroyers all around Jakku (that Falcon/Tie chase in the various trailers seem to show a bunch, and the promo media for the Jakku level in Battlefront seems to support that as well). So I think it's just as likely that shot is after, she is leaving the downed ship she was in and driving past another one in the background.
there are some good episodes in Season 1 and 2, but I'd say Season 3 it's where it "grows the beard".

I blew through it, and my recommendation is to just watch it all. The episodes are pretty short and you'll be to the good stuff in no time. There's some whatever episodes, but nothing really that you'll feel like you wasted time of your life on. It's either extremely good or just... funny/amusing. Some if arguably throwaway, but if you like Star Wars enough I don't think you'll feel like you've wasted your time if you watch it all.
Weren't there some spoiler rumors that the opening shot was gonna be
A pulldown from a star field onto some kind of spaceship looking thing, camera travels along that thing, slowly revealing Luke's lightsaber floating in space towards the desert planet? I remember people were quite upset when that got leaked in a "the coincidence is ST: NEMESIS Data's arm levels of stupid" way. Maybe JJ decided to cut that as that leak was pretty early in production and go for something else and reveals the saber only when Rey finds it?
I've watched every episode. I don't like skipping things. Season 1 is rough, but it picks up towards the end. The show gets better from the start of Season 2, but really doesn't come into its own until Season 3 onwards. There's still filler episodes and story arcs, but it's all kind of entertaining. My favorite episodes are the ones that deal with the Clone Troopers over the Jedi. I'm 5 seasons in and still don't get the Ahsoka love. I don't hate her, but I don't love her either. I'm kind of indifferent to her. She does cool stuff from time to time, though, and I like her character design.

I'm open to whatever as long as it's good. That would be a SUPER cool transition though, like easily the most clever in the series. But I think the one that Guy pointed out above is the real one, we heard about that one a long time ago (before I stopped reading spoilers lol)

Someone on GAF posted a site or infographic that listed episodes that were "can't miss" or highly recommended vs the skippable ones. Can't find it
I'm not gonna click the spoiler, but I'm guessing it's the one I read about way back when too and that seems plausible as well, but who knows. If that one is legit, it's always possible things have changed. Certainly wouldn't be the first time opening scenes are shuffled around in an Abrams movie (I believe the opening scenes of Into Darkness were swapped around?). The star field fakeout thing sure seems like a gag Abrams would do though.

LTTP watching the trailer....
Did any body experience a slight tingling in the balls near the end when the lady said "Just let it in" ?

If the stars=dust shot is the new opening shot after the leak early in production got some criticism JJ dodged a bullet.
It is similar to that prologue shot in Pacific Rim though where you think you are seeing a space scene and then the rift is lighting the "stars" up to reveal them as dust flakes in deep dark water.

I've been going through CW and am on season three. The series as a whole has been getting better and better, but holy shit did it REALLY level up for me after the three Mortis episodes.
So good. Could have been a stand alone movie.
44 episodes until I get to the good stuff?
After watching 44 of anything you are in Stockholm territory so of course it gets better!

Well, yeah. I'd think any Star Wars fan would shiver in delight over it. I mean, in the second teaser we had Luke saying "you have that power, too" and now with this trailer we have an unnamed voice that was talking over the intro shots of Rey saying to "let it in." If you connect the dots it's obvious to what's going on, and proves that Luke is not a fuckin' bad guy lol.
Expect lots of Clone Wars series references in Rebels.
You can still enjoy it without watching The Clone Wars (I watched Rebels before Clone Wars), but you're going to get a bit of that era whether you like it or not.
