When Disney released their next few years of film release dates this past summer, they had a 2021 release date for a Star Wars film. Reportedly that is going to be the first film in a new trilogy but we'll see.

I'm still not convinced that this will be a successful Star Wars movie. The Last Jedi made 50% less than Force Awakens, and then Solo made 50% less than that. People are burned out on Star Wars.

So in those leaks it said that Palpatine willed Rey into existence somehow, the same way that it was done with Anakin I think that's worse than Luke being her dad or whatever

I think they're flirting with turning it into a transformers-esque 'brain off look at explosions and toys you recognize' deal with the 10 trillion ships shooting 10 trillion ships poo poo. That can still make money I'm sure but it's not necessarily something with the same broad appeal as star wars up to now. I'll give it to rian, he wrote them into such a corner that they felt this was the only recourse

Like there should be an expected increase in profits with a sequel for such a massive movie. Chuka Umana posted:What the gently caress is with the horses? There are horses in Star Wars? Man, the horses didn't even register with me as a problem, I mean the entire trailer was a boring mess, but this is what a lot of the internet seems to be focusing on.

The space horses ran out of canto blight, secured passage off world, and singlehoofedly procured a fleet of 10 trillion ships for the rebellion. Bet you feel pretty stupid making fun of rose for saving them

Like there should be an expected increase in profits with a sequel for such a massive movie. Because it's not. For something as big as Star Wars and with the amount of build-up and years of people waiting, those are panic button numbers. There can be any number of reasons for those numbers, but no, they aren't very good. As an aside, is it ok to link to the leaks?

Its Coke posted:what were the leaks Rey in Palpatine's granddaughter/manifestation. The leaks say that she had parents but they got sniped by an assassin who subsequently lost track of her or let her go. Rey and Kylo are "force dyads" who can get stronger if they combine their powers, Palpatine wants them to do that and then steal their powers. The Mcguffin is some Sith lore poo poo that requires both the Resistance and the First Order to retrace Vader's steps from in between the movies/comic book stuff, C-3P0 gets his mind wiped in order to do the Sith translations (this is the red eye thing). Kylo and Rey fight, then make up, then Kylo turns to the light after Han's ghost talks to him and then sacrifices himself to save Rey/give her his power/redeem himself. Rey fights Palpatine, wins with the help of Luke & Leia's ghosts and then takes up the name "Skywalker" to honor them. Oh and they use the horse things to board a Starship and take it down. Not kidding. Some of this is obviously subject to change.

The space horses being secret space horse royalty and paying back the rebellion with 10 trillion ships is so so old EU I wouldn't be surprised if it was literally a plot point from glove of darth vader or a kevin j anderson book

Given that people expected/projected far above that into the 750 million dollars domestically and 1.5 to 1.7 billion dollars worldwide, yeah the numbers were not good. It was still successful, but not close to what everyone expected or wanted.

In the brief glimpse, I just assumed the horses were tantans. Cause they have to bring back everything from the OT.

The space horse royalty theory would also explain broom kid's bizarre reaction to the whole fiasco- he took care of them, so he knew the truth about the sporses and that they were more important to the future of the galaxy than he was, and genuinely got some hope from knowing they were free. Bravo JJ for condescending to try to save rian's insane plot points

RLM are dumb shits running out of steam - who gives a gently caress what they say. This looks alright thought - visually way more interesting than TLJ.

The back half of the trailer music was this guy, not Williams. https://twitter.com/getblake/status/1186473797739614208 Dude is talented. He did this a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POxH_gHnBEA

Nah, Rey will give it back it's arm so Luke will have accomplished nothing at all during his entire life. Barudak posted:Just watched the trailer and boy, it seems like it could be a satisfying trilogy conclusion if the previous 2 films had set it up at all. I think the trailer looks great, there seems to be a lot of spectacle but I have 0 expectations for the story because of the lack of setup.

The overseas market reliably turns out in similar or greater numbers for blockbuster movies. Every single MCU direct sequel has earned more overseas then previous entries. It's easy money and Star Wars has not been able to capture it. To drop $400 million overseas, that is a panic number.

ironically enough the ST would probably have turned out better if they kept the chinese audience in mind from day 1 because then it wouldn't have been so wrapped up in the previous films that it's as vacuous as it is as a standalone series
