Two reasons I don't want redemption.

1) it's been done before. It doesn't need to happen again
2) he killed Han Solo. You shouldn't get to come back from that

Agreed, some bad guys just don't get to be redeemed. e.g. Palps isn't up for redemption or a conversion to the light side...or is he???

It’s two hours thirty minutes. Confirmed.

Pretty sure it's 155 mins.

Oh right. Longer than tlj.

Not sure how they know this cos it’s still being edited but hope it’s that long.

because they couldn't come up with anything better

this is hollywood in 2019.. new idea are too hard, and more importantly, too risky. rehash, rehash, rehash.. and count the profits

The Last Jedi seemed kinda new and I enjoyed that one, but I hear it upset many.

Funny you mention that. Just stumbled on this.
People really fuckin hated Empire upon release. Check out some of the letters in this

Times given to cinemas this early, are often a few minutes longer than what it ends up being.

Fuck

Just a poor movie, but I have faith this one will be more like TFA. Everything’s been good so far.

There’s credence to the idea that Palpatines spirit is hiding inside the helmet though.
Look at the scene when Vader kills him and his helmet flashes all blue once the big spray of blue shoots up the shaft.
Then there’s the pic of the blue vapour coming from it.
The. There’s the whole Kylo talking to it thing


That’s a lot for it to be nothing. But who knows

This makes sense in Star Wars.

I just wish they took a different tack from the get go with this trilogy. We come back to the star wars world in TFA, and it's the same situation as ANH. The empire is back to running shit as if the end of Jedi didn't happen, albeit with a different name and a couple of whiny bitches at the helm.

I would've liked to know how that happened. The first movie should have started there - show us how the empire 2.0 came together and started to reassert power in the universe. Focus on Kylo.. show his ascent. Give us some more on Snoke. Make me care about who he is, who he first order is, and give me reason to fear them. Start it all off with a nice dark movie.. and then let's go to battle against this new iteration of evil that didn't just reappear magically and with no explanation.

Ah well

This guy has a thread IDing all the ships he could.

That would have been too much like the prequel trilogy then.

Look, this story is so near and dear to all of our hearts. There's no way any of these movies could have been done without ruffling some feathers or disappointing a large swath of humanoids.

Im glad they brought Star Wars back even though there are countless other things i would have liked to see happen. Again, would never feel totally complete.

However, there are books out there that help bridge that gap you are concerned about dprival. For whatever that is worth.

Holy fuck!!!

Do not open if you don’t want major major spoil. One pic. Gives the game away

Dime, i swear to god. You are unable to avoid this shit. its like crack to you. its like chipotle to me.

Only saw the trailer once this morning on my phone while at work. I did get the main stuff, but lacked some of the feeling I had anticipated. But now I watched it twice on a big screen at home with the sound way up, and it made a world of difference. So beautiful. Great trailer. Didn't give away too much, but got the feeling just right.
