In fact that's the thing that is keeping Snoke's pieces alive (troll theory)
I thought about that too, and I can totally see that happening.

I thought Monsters was decent and really enjoyed Godzilla, even though the human element is flawed.
That does really worry me: not a single memorable character in Godzilla, really. TFA is build on a strong foundation of likable, relateable characters that you want to hang out with and cheer for. Godzilla had none of that, and Monsters was eh.
I'm not worried about the action/spectacle at all. He'll knock that shit out of the park.
Hayden really is great with the right direction. Not best of his generation or anything like that, but he is better than the script and director he got in the prequels.

Yes, he didn't have much to work with for sure, but watch some of his other movies. For example Shattered Glass. The guy is just a bad actor.
They are not similar, have faith.

Thank God Lucas sold off to Disney.
I mean, holy shit.

I'm sure that over the next 6 months, people will understand the pitch and look forward to getting SW spinoffs to pass the time between episodes. This is all fairly new territory, for a film mega-franchise to produce spinoffs alongside the main series.
I don't think he even acts anymore, SW pretty much killed his career. Why would he even want to reprise the role?

Hyyyyyped as FUCK.
That trailer gave me goosebumps, something OG Force Awakens trailer failed to do (tho it was great in its own right).

Yeah, the "I rebel" line was pretty cheesy, and awkwardly placed against such a dark trailer.

The first TFA teaser was cool but it was hard to go on. The second one was definitely full of life and emotion. I think this looks like it could be good, I'm just saying the teaser itself didn't do anything for me like every single previous trailer for every previous Star Wars movie. I've never felt downright indifferent before; and it's probably just because the teaser was very straightforward, had not one element that had me really that interested in the new protagonist, and a story that I am not yet feeling that much excitement for.
I'm still on board, but the teaser just didn't get me excited at all. I saw some cool stuff there, but we'll see.
as long as they hire someone to do his makeup that has actually seen the original movies
Disney to change the title to "A Star Wars Story that is not a sequel to Force Awakens don't worry Episode VIII will be out next year: Rogue One" confirmed.

That's not the backside of a Super Battle Droid.
Please, please tell me you typed "Super Battle Droid Ass" into Google Images.
I'm too afraid to check for myself.

So, WHEN does this movie take place again?
I see Mon Motha and a Death Star, with a retractable laser-dish.

I think McDiarmid himself has criticised the awful makeup in ROTS, George was the only one who didn't seem to care that he looked like a plastic walrus.
Disney really seems to get it. Looks awesome.
Episode VII was a great start and the best start of all the SW film trilogies (best SW film after Episode V and VI for me personally), but I do hope the next films will have more of an own identity. I agree it was a bit too much ANH 1:1 at times. But at the same time, they did all of the classic characters justice and introduced a lot of cool new ones and a new droid worthy of becoming iconic. That is an impressive feat already.

Not retractable, they were installing the dish. This takes place weeks/months before the original film, A New Hope.

Plus, Snoke is still a teenager around this time.
Why is the cg better and more realistic in the first image.

They really should.
If you have to explain it, just say it's another prequel movie. Potentially with Hayden Christensen as Vader.

Oh he does...and he is still pretty bad. Check out this Nicolas Cage gem if you ever see it on Netflix or something.

This really is the best time line.
I think it's also cuz we sorta know what the story is about. Unless they do some grand reveal, it might be a pretty straightforward plot.

Ben Mendelsohn is one menacing looking villain.
Not to say he won't be great, but this looked menacing too and turned out to be laughable
daenerys targaryen levels of cheese.
Those examples prove that "Mary sue" is definitely a thing, regardless of gender.
The term being used by people with a sexist agenda, doesn't invalidate the existence of the concept.
Hell, Ethan Hunt is a very shallow character, and Jack Reacher is outright embarrassing, in how hollow of a power fantasy it is.
I say this as someone who has enjoyed both, mind you.
I also don't think Rey qualify as much of a Mary sue, since she's clearly goofy and flawed in character, similarly to Luke she's more naive than anything, and shows some vulnerability.
and her "abilities" are mostly to move the story forward, and give her something to do.
She's not a very deep character, but it's Star Wars, there are no amazingly deep characters in Star Wars.
EDIT: I should say that i personally always used Mary Sue as the unrealistic "perfection" of someone's character, more than someone's physical abilities, but i guess it's an interchangeable thing.
Nope. We have gotten confirmation Snoke was around in the prequel era and saw the fall of the Republic.Plus, Snoke is still a teenager around this time.
We know for a fact Snoke is NOT Ezra.

Snoke was meant to have been around for a thousand years before Force Awakens, at least i thought so.

I'm fine with that. Star Wars always has straightforward storytelling. It just doesn't leave me asking questions. The TFA stuff did. I was interested in everything, the new characters, villain, BB8, what it's about, etc. Maybe I just care more for the main dish than the appetizer in this case, but like I said I'm still on board, at worst it'll be a fun little detour while waiting on Episode VIII.

Ah, that makes more sense.
It would have to be BEFORE Alderaan was destroyed then - since it was operational by then.
So this movie may have been around the time Leia was traveling around on Captain Antilles' embassador ship, with the two droids?
I wonder if they'll mention her traveling around trying to gain support for the rebellion during this time?
Luke is still on Tatooine working Moisture Vaporators? lol
This is so fucking awesome.
We know for a fact Ezra is not Snoke. Snoke at the very least was around for the prequel era and clone wars.

I liked the 'I, Rebel' line. Can already see it on the posters.
The TFA novelization.
Wasn't that the point, though? Kylo and Hux were little kids playing at being Vader and Tarkin, they were cosplayers that Snoke had wrapped around his little finger and who got bitchslapped by Rey and the resistance.

But I want them to be excited.
It's just a bummer. Me and all my friends went to TFA last year, and we all loved it. I put this trailer in the group chat though:
"This doesn't look like a sequel"
"It's not, they do a spinoff movie in between main releases. This one is about stealing the Death Star plans right before the original movie."
"That's fucking stupid."
Even though they are all going to see it day one. For some reason the first time people hear that, they say it's stupid. Every time!
Gonna be one of those lines kids will end up saying.
are novelizations canon though?
