Now there's a good question.


Can dark side former Jedi do the force ghost thing?

Do they have like their own network?



Shimmering red ghosts would be cool

This would be something interesting to bring up and expand. I'm guessing they haven't figured it out yet. I mean, if Liam Neeson is the first guy to ever have figured it out, I'm guessing the baddies haven't yet.

Yeah. It's mentioned in the film that those past have figured out a way to communicate.
Something like that.

My son is watching a Battlefront 3 livestream. I'm so glad games didn't look like that when I was young. I wouldn't have amounted to anything.

I watched ROTS last weekend and it was the first time I connected the dots on the "training" that Yoda was asking Obi-Wan to do while in exile. I only realized now that he was learning how to communicate with Luke after he was gone. I imagine it's not a simple thing or else there would be many more ghost Jedis floating around. How Anakin/Vader can do it, and make himself look like a younger version of himself... don't get me started!!

In fact, that trailer had a good amount of clunky dialog compared to the last trailer. The "there has been an awakening" dialog is so exactly the dumb "see. how. dark. I. am." stuff they did with Khan. It's the kind of JJ stuff I would like him to be self aware enough not to include.

I'm on a phone so I can't really engage anyone but the give it everything you've got line has an innocence to it that is charming and feels appropriate in that brief moment - especially juxtaposed against that darker stuff which, while slightly heavy handed, does sound intimidating (good voice acting) and in synch with the mystical dimensions of the force

The whole trailer felt dark and heavy and impactful and forbidding and intimidating and thanks to the music and the acting (these characters all move well) and the visuals (what we've seen is incredible) it feels earned. They are telling (it's a trailer) but they are also showing
