Palpatine changes his web shooters from shock webs (purple) to swinging webs (blue).

I mean, I'm still waiting for an explanation as to how Luke's old lightsabre was recovered from Bespin and ended up with Rey.

See you all there opening day.

1-3 have their hearts in the right place. Even if you think the movies suck it’s hard to be too mad about blockbusters that openly say “rich people hate everything good and love war and will use their riches to destroy democracy because they’re evil”. Like, compare that poo poo to the message that Avengers movies send.

Reminds me of the Bill Hicks bit about having the knowledge of the ages at our fingertips, but we still use our resources preserving Debbie Gibson songs. They could give us literally anything, but what we get is whatever this is.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Palpatine survived the Death Star cuz of Sith genes or something and he got picked up and turned in CYBER PALPATINE. He's gonna show up and try to blow up a planet and then Kylo's going to cut him in half with a light saber.

Meanwhile there's some rogue Empire scientist who's been cloning all the characters and made a big goop monster and then it's gonna kill C-3PO and Rey's gonna get pissed and turned SUPER JEDI LEVEL 2

And if you critique the movie for actual issues people will say "Oh you didn't get the metaphor, the goop monster represents your nostalgia for the franchise." And if you point out that they stole plot points from Dragonball Z they'll say that's part of the nostalgia goop monster.

Also a lot of people will hate the movie for the wrong reasons which will therefore shield the movie from any actual criticism.

Aziz... spark that shit nigga
they have a ridiculous amount of ground to cover. some of the fights in the trailer look cool but like who is fighting and why? who cares? the emperor is the final boss - ok but poo poo they gotta introduce him and defeat him and hopefully make it not feel rushed all within the span of like 2.5 hours?

like the trailer frames this as an epic conclusion to the whole star wars saga and like, ok objectively it is the conclusion but i bet they wish they actually had some interesting plot threads in progress and hadn't spent all of tlj dicking around not moving the plot forward

but i'm gonna get stoned and see it

Maybe make pal patine like a giant cyber transformer, who turns into a giant Jedi and just stabs planets with a giant sword. I can see it in my mind's eye, star destroyers forming slender but powerful limbs, death star becoming a head...

Palpatine turns his throne into a Penitent Engine, Rey does some cool flips and poo poo and Kylo Ren turns out to have split personality disorder and his other other OTHER identity comes out.

Also, in terms of continuity did disney even WATCH Episode 4&6? There were no pieces left of the death star(s) when they exploded.

The emperor had a secret hyperspace engine built into his robes, he flew away under cover from explosions.

Nothing. It’s a fine trailer, plenty better than what we’ve gotten before. Nothing in it really convinced me that I absolutely must see this movie but it didn’t need to either because

*Ep 9 begins with a flashback, like in the start of The Two Towers*

"Father, please!"

*Vader turns and grabs Palpatine, throws him down the shaft*

*As Luke goes towards Vader, the camera pans away and instead follows Palpatine as he hurtles down the Death Star shaft*

*As he falls, we hear a metallic singing sound, it's his magic force wand, hurtling down towards its master!*

*Palpatine grabs the wand, then looks directly towards the camera*

"You've activated my trap card!"

That was pretty good - I'd say the second-best moment is when Palpatine groans and says 'With you Skywalkers, every day is a Tums festival!'

What if Palpatine never existed as a person but was a projection of the republics deep set insecurity and racism?! You can't, like, blow up an idea man!

Much like the prequels, this movie looks like its where they should have started the story. Rather than 2 movies that ultimately contribute nothing.

We only get a sampling of Palpatines monologue, "Star War was always here. Before man was, Star War waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting it's ultimate practitioner." but I can already tell its gonna clean up at the awards

Luckily there's a Dune adaptation coming out and spearheaded by an actually good director, so when Episode IX: The Dark Jedi Rises inevitably shits into theatres we all have a real sci-fi epic to look forward to
