I can't help but think Harrison Ford didn't want to do 20 more movies, so he probably insisted on the death scene. Still, it works out for them. They got Han to pass the torch to the new kids, and us old fogeys still have Luke, who will make more sense in an action adventure since he has magic powers.

We'll probably have already gotten one before Rogue One opens.
Attaching trailers to films as a means to debut said trailers is no longer a practice that's really done anymore. Trailers debut either on television, at a convention, or (most commonly) online.

I'm still hoping Snoke is like 3ft tall IRL which would make him an interesting foil to Yoda.
Disney and JAbrams wants us to feel good about Ford dying to the dude from Girls?!?

Exactly this, Han is a staple but this is a passing of the torch and his death had meaning to the evolution of this series that we all love and respect. This is no longer about the original three, but about the new characters in this amazing series.

Well, yeah. The internet has changed that, but typically you can still more or less figure out when a trailer for a particular movie will generally release just simply going by when similar movies (particularly of the same studio) are set to release in theaters. Like, look at all the trailers that premiered in the weeks preceding Star Wars. I'd imagine the Episode VIII trailer will release in the weeks leading up to Rogue One's release. Speaking of which, I'd imagine in the weeks leading up to Captain America: Civil War, we should probably get the first teaser for Rogue One. Captain America Civil War comes out in May. Perhaps, the teaser will be attached to it, but first be released on "Star Wars Day" (May 4th).
As if they could have convinced Ford to come back for any more of these. He's been trying to off Han since Jedi.

I mean if you know the dude from his role in Girls, are you really the market though? I'm not trying to be an asshole but I guess I'm being a bit assholish? Though to be fair, you're reducing an actor to one role he's portrayed to argue... I'm not even sure exactly.
So... I guess all there is to say is... Ford is old and surly and hard to work with for most people so you're going to have to accept the fact that he's not going to be a super stud in a ton of stuff going forward? I mean if Shia Lebeouf wasn't a walking dumpster fire then Indy would probably be out of the question for him too at this point.

Exactly how far along is Episode VIII? May 2017 seems awfully aggressive.
I do wonder if Disney might ask itself if owning Christmas might be better. Kids out of school, parents taking time off, Star Wars selling out even weekday matinee showings.... The Force Awakens became almost a cultural event unto itself.
Though I'm sure a May opening followed by a holiday Blu-Ray release will make all kinds of bank, as well.

They already filmed a bit at Skellig Michael last year for weather reasons, but full on filming starts this month.
My 'knee jerk' reaction was to dislike Adam Driver as the villain. Because his Girls character is so weird.
But after taking some time I think it's going to work. Driver can portray a Sith that is conflicted in his views of the Force, like he is conflicted in his relationship in Girls.

I didnt like it,
and I dont have nostalgia.
I saw the movies as a kid but never really cared for them, and saw the prequels a couple weeks ago, the only thing star wars Ive loved is KOTOR.
also Kylo Ren doesnt look like Han Solo or Leia.. why?

Cus Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher never had a kid together.

Cards on the table, I haven't seen a single episode of Girls. I felt like Driver absolutely knocked this role out of the park. I'm a guy that really pays attention to the media I'm watching but what really sealed me on Drivers portrayal was when I took my wife to see the movie (My second viewing, her first) and without any influence from me I asked her what she thought of the movie and she really liked his portrayal and dialed in on the fact that he was being a petulant child throughout (we have two kids so there's a bit of experience there). I don't know about his previous work but Kylo really, really works in this film.
btw best tfa moment = 'we're not done yet', followed by an enraged pound to the bowcasted guts
it legit jimmied my forced rustles
you're welcome for that gif bro
even if its made with a lazy YT tool
Are we sure this wasn't just the closing scenes of VII?

No it's new stuff.
They had to since apparently the location gets really tough in the months afterwards.

So it's YOUR fault it cuts off before the slap
This is also one of the only things that would really justify him being all CG, IMO. Though I'd rather than use an actor and just GC the face if for some reason they want to keep his face as it was in TFA.
just in case: im not the dude in it if that's what you're wondering lol

The Robot Chicken was suspicious of Jar Jar for the people that like that theory, just watch the end of this video

Harrison Ford asked Lucas if Han could die at the end of RotJ. He wanted out.
It just took him another 30 years to get what he wanted.
well if you really want dead accurate heritage
Where the shit is that from hahahahah
Keep up the whining instead of discussing^^
Yes, I dislike that too.

I read the original synopsis of the movie from mid 2015. In that one BB8 was carrying Luke's lightsaber instead of a map piece. Anyone know if they actually shot that first and then went back and put in a different macguffin?
Story wise it does make more sense and I could see the editing to switch it out being somewhat straight forward.

I haven't seen anything that remotely resembles serious discussion coming from you.
Sure I tried more than you did. I guess it is better to just ignore you in the future.
5. So they knew the location from the interrogation which went so super bad for Kylo Ren?
6. The most important battle and they only take a small fleet to it (which came from their main base of operations)?

Novelization sound just like the Star Trek comic that led up to the 2009 film. A bunch of important stuff that should have been in the film. Cut down the salvage ship section, and some other stuff and include that stuff in the film.
You've never seen the Holiday Special?
You need to watch it now!

Even in the movie, I felt this whole exchange and exposition was really clumsily done and it's difficult to point out why.

Also is it me, or did they not have any species from the original 6 movies? becides returning characters like chui
It didn't feel like this was a conversation that Leia and Han would actually have, IMO. They had to work in some backstory on Snoke luring Ren over, but the whole conversation is really clumsy. I thought the acting was pretty good given the material, Ford in particular, but It never rises above being an exposition dump.

I said Besides Returning characters, there was no new characters using existing species/races

I hope Maz isn't in the next movies to be honest, or at the very least, gets minimal screen time.
Every scene she was in was either forgettable or annoying.

I want them to make the best out of Lupita as possible though.
I didn't find the character or any of her scenes annoying. She was a good mix of funny/odd/wise. Definitely not the best Star Wars alien character but better than any of the cg characters we got in the PT.

How many times has everyone seen the movie?
I want to go for a 2nd viewing later when I wake up.
