    Not to me. It looks better than episode 7. This one looks like it's somewhat its own movie.

    I liked it -- I knew Vader's breath was coming at the end, but it was still awesome.

    That was kind of lame IMO. Why cut off the breath? Just really, really poorly edited.

    I must be getting immune to Star Wars trailers. That didn't do much for me.

    Female lead for all Star Wars movies?

    Seems like they are forcing the Female/Diversity train a bit much...

    What's it with women? They seem to be everywhere!

    Liked the Trailer.

    But I am curious if that robot is Sonny from I, robot. And the revolution is now complete.

    Seems we always get "meh" for trailers, and then the movie turns out pretty darned good.

    I remember all the "Dark Knight" trailers: "Meh!" said the audience.

    Maybe they don't want to give away everything? Maybe they have four months to finish the movie so have only so much to reveal?

    I liked it.

    I think reading this thread earlier about the reshoots left me not expecting much but the trailer was really good. Pretty excited for the release.

    2 of 8

    I don't claim to be good at math but I don't believe that's 100%. I think it's about 25%.

    And even then... who cares if there's a female lead? Why is this even a thing that bothers people, 25% of the films in a series having a female lead. I don't get why that would bother people.

    Seriously. Men have gotten to be protagonists for the mast majority of film. It's ok to have women take the lead for a change.

    Not bad.

    I really do think I'm going to like this more than TFA. Empire >>> First Order.

    I agree! BOYCOTT THIS FILM! ;)

    Well, the one about Han Solo...I don't think they will use a female lead. Maybe transgender?

    I actually like the 1st trailer better. Had more dread and urgency. Really well done.

    BUT, some great imagery in the 2nd trailer. I think my favorite scene was the troops on the ground shooting the rocket launcher at the AT-AT.

    Agreed. Make Star Wars GREAT AGAIN!

    What happened to our original Star Wars where the universe was a WHITE MAN'S UNIVERSE! A world that made us believe all non white people evolved into the aliens and creatures you see in the films.

    Star Wars.

    Where Arabs evolved into savage sand creatures:
    [​IMG]

    Where Chinamen evolved into gibberish speaking catatafish creatures:
    [​IMG]

    Where Japanese evolved into sissy evil Aliens with the same goofy accent:
    "My rord, is that regal?"
    [​IMG]

    Where Jews evolved into big hooked nose, greedy and selfish creatures:
    "I'm a Toydarian Jew. Mind tricks don't work on me. Only money. No money, no parts, no deal!"
    [​IMG]

    Where Black people evolved into loud mouthed, Pidgin English speaking, bumbling creatures:
    "WEE-SA GON DIE BY DA WHITE STORM-A TROOPAS!"
    [​IMG]


    There was maybe 1 or 2 non white people for a split second in A New Hope and now were to believe the Death Star plans were stolen by a bunch of Mexican, Asian and Black guys following a white woman leader? There's even a Pakistani terrorist. That doesn't sound like a happy story. That sounds like GANG RAPE.

    The only thing that makes sense is that there weren't any non whites in A New Hope because they all died in Rogue One. Sent to their doom in Operation Human Shield.
