GOOD MORNING GAF!
I swear it feels like Christmas morning today!
Woooooo!

Yup same. TFA teaser 2 was one of the best videos ever released.
You seem to expect a lot from your teaser trailers.
Well, I hope it's like the first teaser. That was the only thing I watched before heading to watch the movie a couple of months later, trailer these days just spoil everything.
Btw I truly believe Ewan will be at TLJ panel and will be in episode 8
His absence yesterday for someone who loves the franchise, who is all in on star wars himself and wants to be a part of the future is notable, EVEN if he couldnt make it the fact you could get Neeson and Sam to record messages and not Ewan is suspect.

Agreed. Something is up there.
That would be incredible. Saw Ewan in a commercial on TV the other day, he looks better than he ever did.
Imagine the pop if they introduce Ewan
Then Frank Oz
Then Hayden
That room will go mental.
Then Yoda, on stage
As much as I desperately want Ewan to show up, this strikes me as strange thinking. The prequel cast was much larger than just Liam Neeson and Samuel L Jackson. Should we start suspecting a Padme cameo just because Natalie Portman didn't tape a video message?
Whats so interesting is that they have so much footage they "could" show, as well as behind the scenes stuff, since this was originally due for May and the shooting schedule stayed the same despite it being pushed back to Dec, the movie has been shot and is in editing. TFA and Rogue one never had this amount of "potential" stuff to show.

The first TFA teaser had that moment with the Millennium Falcon and the star wars theme which is a moment that can't be topped by anything really.

Luke the god ready
Trailer will probably focus on what Luke did after Kylo took over

Bit different I feel as she hasnt spent the last few years talking about wanting to do solo films, wanting to be part of the main films OR being in the main films (as Ewan was with ep7)
It sounds like they've got far more time than TFA. Which leads me to believe RJ is going to do big things.

Go to bed early, wake up, watch trailer, go back to sleep!
For the longest time I thought that thing was full of worms instead of intestines. Made it considerably more disturbing.

I will fucking rage.
Wow, kid-me thought the exact same thing at the time. Weird, haven't thought about that mental image for years.
(to be fair to me, English isn't my first language, so when I was younger a lot of those kinds of movies were more visual experiences for me - although movies like Star Wars and Indiana Jones were still very easy to follow. Possibly partly a reason for their international popularity)

TFA trailer was easily in the top 5 of best movie trailers of all time, eager to see how TLJ stacks up

Good morning!!!! New Star Wars footage, LUKE SKYWALKER doing more than starring at us!
Man the line stuff is nuts, as soon as I saw it yesterday I know if you weren't in the line yet it's over, no live show for you. That's the thing about having the major panel the second day. Everyone is there already so a ton of people will take that day just to wait in line. It sucks fhey didn't follow directions.
I didn't plan this well, couldn't get many friends to take off work or anything. I wish I could have tagged along with some gaffers, then maybe I would have done the sleep over thing. Ill just watch it online with everyone else though. I am happy, yesterday was magical. Definetly want to do this properly for the episode 9 celebration, where it would be an actual vacation travel event for me and not just oh drive to Orlando again.

Can't think of anything that bests it
The Episode 1 trailer was really special at the time. Watched the hell out of that. This was before I had seen the movie (before it came out in fact) and realized what it actually was. But man that trailer was amazing. It's easy to forget how insane the special effects were at the time. I had never seen anything like it.
Then the movie came out, and I didn't really care about Star Wars for years after that. Only saw Episode 2 and 3 because my friends wanted to see it, and I did it out of obligation. But I wasn't into it at all myself. Really only got into it a bit again when the Disney deal happened and especially when we got closer to TFA.
1.5 hours!

What would justify Ewan being in The Last Jedi? How could he possibly mentor Luke or Rey? Luke has been training for 30+ years and should be the most powerfull Force User out there at this time. I don't think he can learn anything apar.. ap... o god.
Obi-Wan is gonna teach Luke how he can become a Forge Ghost!
NO!
NO! GO AWAY.
Anyway, still got this gut feeling Ewan is going to be called on stage during the Closing Ceremony. There's too many rumors and "yes, I'd love to do it" by both LucasFilm and Ewan himself...

Episode 1 trailer will forever be the biggest trailer event in movie history. People went to the theaters, paid for some random movie (waterboy which was great) just to watch the trailer. Then left the theater after the trailer, then came back after the movie ended to see it again.
This was before the internet streamed a trailer to everyone. You had to put effort to go see it and everyone did. The first new footage of Star Wars in 15 years. Nothing can top that experience.
I'm expecting Leia voiceover, as a tribute, while showing off cool shots before the big money maker at the end (Knights of Ren vs Luke and Rey).
Things I'm interested in seeing in the trailer:
- Luke, obviously, especially hearing him talk. Also maybe seeing him in a different context/outfit.
- Getting an idea of what the hell Finn will be doing in this movie, since I have no idea. I'm guessing (at least at the start of it) more of a rebel solo mission with Poe.
- I'm guessing Kylo will look a little different. He got injured pretty bad, and now that he killed his dad I feel like he's going full dark side (or at least further into it).
- Whatever new planets we'll get.
- Definitely expecting a returning character surprise. Not exactly hoping - I don't think the movie needs it - but I wouldn't be opposed to it. Given that this movie will go more into the Jedi business, Yoda seems like a good guess. Maybe ghost Yoda. Maybe just his voice at the end.
Oh yeah, putting them side by side that first TFA trailer wins. Don't think the new trailer will be able to top that, since the context surrounding TFA added so much to it. People were (and I definitely was) so hungry for a high quality SW movie after all these years. Amazing work - you see so little but so much at the same time.

The 40 years of Star Wars should just be on the Star Wars youtube channel, no?

Will the Last Jedi trailer be shown at the livestream?
Nope, they have a huge video of all of yesterday...with the 40th panel cut out
I think I may have gone too far in a few places.
