I really don't feel like there has been a cohesive arc in the first two, but maybe everything will make sense when this comes out.

The story is secondary to cool visuals and fan service. OMG REY IS PALPATINES GRANDDAUGHTER!

The dialectic thought explicit in the text of Lucas Wars is instead implicit in the structure of Disney Wars. TFA’s thesis and TLJ’s antithesis lead to TROS’s synthesis

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.

I can’t wait for billions of dollars and countless man-hours worth of painstakingly made forgettable cgi trash to tell me to buy more Disney products.

I also can’t wait until idiots on social media start telling me that seeing this movie and giving Disney money are very important political actions for the betterment of society.

After all is said and done, it is clear that on the whole SW is garbage. The OT movies were fun, but everything else is terrible.

It's less that I think they suck and more that I think it was silly that a moon-sized object got blown up right above them and then we see them partying with the main characters like giant metal shards aren't falling from the sky

It's possible that's not the moon of Endor (the ewok planet) but Endor itself.

yeah the "death star explosion killed all the ewoks!!!!!!!!" heterodoxy is simply not supported by the text.

it's hours later and the rebels are celebrating on the forest moon with the ewoks. everyone's happy, there are no planetary wildfires.

for whatever reason - tractor beams, deflector shields, mass shifting into hypserpsace, whatever - the explosion didn't kill the ewoks.

This is no different to the TLJ trailer really, it’s just the same old OT fan service quick-cuts thing again. People are only excited because it’s new Star Wars content.

We’re still not seeing the “Wars” part that was prominent in the prequel trilogy; there’s been very little military focus so far in the new story so I can’t muster up much interest in this. Compare the world-building and variety of the PT with the new films, they are so far apart.

The timeline of TFA > TLJ is only a week or so though, so I suppose the wider galaxy hasn’t had time to react to current events, or for it to be shown to us as an audience. I still think Disney are really wasting the potential of the sequel trilogy in terms of story and worlds and the military elements.

Palpatine's not back, some yoyo's been using deep machine learning to make holograms of Palpatine and broadcast them through the galaxy selling erectile dysfunction pills. The reistsnace has tracked down the origin of the spam holograms to the wreckage of the 3rd Death Star that Jabba the Hutt's family built (this part actually happened in the old books lol)

Not sure what Luke's talking about in the trailer, she trained with him for like two days and obviously had more to tell him about the ways of the world than the other way around. Then she beat him up. It would be like if Luke threw Yoda into a tree halfway in and then he said "you have learned everything there is to know about the force"
