      There was a trailer for a trailer for Rogue One too, don’t you remember the Deathtrooper’s turning their heads mini teaser?

      This isn’t something new.

        I hope so too, but I’m playing down my expectations. There has been just too much controversy surrounding RJ’s secretive script to make me confident it will be good.

        Being as good as Attack of the Clones is a looooow bar. Hopefully Rey won’t be complaining about sand or spouting bargain bin romance novel dialogue.

          It’s funny Clones is my least favorite film in the saga, but rewatching it again i have to admit the whole sand line never really bothered me its just small talk between two people. what does bother me is the whole begging for sex scene they have later on in the film.

            Anakin comes across as very creepy/desperate in those scenes.

            Even my sister mentioned something about that dark fireplace scene by saying “Anakin is being a creeper right now.” lol

    “Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in UK cinemas on 14 December 2017.”

    Always amazes me that we in the UK get the movie one day before the US (yes I know Scandinavia and parts of Europe get it even earlier). TPM was released on the 19th of May in the States, by chance I was working in Ann Arbor, MI at the time, but for the rest of the UK, it didn’t debut until the 15th of July (almost 2 months later).

    How times have changed.

      And trying to avoid spoilers for two months when everyone else had seen the readily available pirate …
      I think we actually have piracy to thank for the fact that we get the film at the same time these days.

        Thank Christ we do. I really don’t fancy having to fly out to NYC to see the latest SW movie. Well, not at that time of year with the bone chilling damp cold.

    Was a bit turned off by the whole female lead thing leading up to TFA as I felt it was being forced down our throat for political correctness. However I really liked Ray in TFA and seeing her in the teaser for the trailer swinging that lightsaber again, she is pretty cool. Cant wait for tomorrow!

      That’s nice. So, hey, you know? We’ve been with Rey since 2015. Let it go!

      I never understood the argument that a female lead constituted forced “political correctness.” As if it were the sacred entitlement of men to star in every film ever made and any deviation from that norm was an unacceptable agenda being shoved down throats. It’s an argument made by a bunch of insecure manboys permanently stuck in a “no girls allowed” clubhouse.

      Actually, “leading up to TFA,” Finn was sold as the lead, not Rey. Remember all those promotional posters featuring Finn wielding a lightsaber?

      As to not liking a film with female leads… I guess that’s your opinion.

      There is an obvious push for more female leads in general in Hollywood. With SW, its seems more obvious, as you have Rey, Jyn, Iden Versio , this new A-Wing leader Tallie Lintra, Forces of Destiny, etc….. Disney wants this demographic and they are doing just that. As long as the characters are appealing, I don’t care what sex they are.

      while i think there are cases in entertainment where this is the case(doctor who comes to mind), ive always thought disney was just trying to course correct from the sausage fest of the previous six films and bring a little more balance. and thus far i think they are succeeding.

        Well, the idea for a woman lead came from Lucas.

          technically i think luke was the lead character. but beyond leia there wasn’t many female characters in the OT, or the PT for that matter. disney has made a concerted effect to fix that omission which i have no problem with.

            The idea for Episode 7 was that it focused on a young girl becoming a Jedi. That came from Lucas.

        And I do like that in concept. My issue is that I just find Rey really bland. The acting from Ridley is fantastic and I will say this: TFA is the best acted SWs movie next to ESB. But I have warmed up to her a lot more.

        A lot of it is seeing her in the Forces of Destiny to which the storytelling and the performances from her are a lot better in my view. The latter being that Ridley is more comfortable in the role. And the latter isn’t working off that awful screenplay from Ardnt and Kasdan.

        Plus, Rian Johnson is on TLJ and he managed to make Bruce Willis a good actor again in my view. So I get goosebumps as to what he has in store for her and the cast.

        • October 9, 2017 at 7:36 pm

          i think for the most part the “blandness” comes from the naivety the hero generally shows at the beginning of their journey. luke had it, anakin had it. its not until we put that character through hell that we really get to know them and hopefully that is what will happen in this film.

          • October 10, 2017 at 3:47 am

            Perhaps, but really I just felt like the movie didn’t do enough with her character. Luke was whiny and you could argue one note, but the film spent sufficent time with him. To be fair, he was the focus and TFA had more moving parts. But really, Rey to me just felt incomplete. It seemed like a lot of her development was packaged away in a mystery box and saved for TLJ. So really, I expect her to be a lot better.

            But as a standalone movie, I was let down. Kylo really, in my view, would have made for a better main character. Though, to be fair; he shouldn’t have been the main antagonist. Hux should have. Much like Tarkin.

      That’s a silly thing to say, though glad you came around.

      A female lead isn’t a political thing; they are over half the population.

      Yeah. I cannot blame you. Honestly, why not just make a twitter announcement or something. Though, to be honest; I have more gripes with movie trailers nowadays revealing way too much. Even for films I genuinely like.

    I cannot say that I am shocked, because correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t TFA’s trailer come out at this time? Still, I am genuinely excited. I have been liking the marketing for TLJ so far. That said, Rian Johnson saying to avoid the trailer has me nervous.

    In general, marketing movies are out of directors hands. And if there is ONE thing I can praise TFA is that Abrams clearly respects the lack of press coverage allowed on set. Now, I am not sure what the stance is, but I do remember two years ago, that this secrecy might not be the case with Rian.

    Being that Rian Johnson doesn’t have enough pull. If that is the case, then I am a bit disappointed. Much as I like to see the trailer, I want to go into this blind. With my expectations tempered, despite me loving Rian Johnson.

    So LF, please; do NOT reveal too much.

        LOL. That is a good point. But yeah, allow me to clarify, I will watch the trailer, but really after that I am going to avoid most, if not all, the subsequent clips or material so I can go in blind. I did so, for TFA and usually for any movie that I want to really see.

        And really, I am just happy that Rian Johnson is getting his chance to shine. Because, I truly believe he can provide something amazing, much like how Dennis Villanueve is doing so with Blade Runner. Though to be fair, Villanueve had prior experience with Arrival and Scario which were big non-tentpole Blockbusters respectively.

        But yeah, The Last Jedi; I cannot wait to see how this turns out. Call me stupid, but I am super optimistic.

    Wow, Fandango’s site is already sluggish and timing out as of Monday morning, presumably from TLJ related traffic…

    • October 9, 2017 at 6:37 pm
      Permalink

      Yeah. I remember how much of a nightmare it was securing TFA tickets. A good thing that I know the manager for my local theater, so securing tickets for me shouldn’t be a big issue. But yeah, basically my recommendation would be to wait after the traffic rush.

      Usually, most theaters, depending on the demand, will automatically sell more tickets and create more theater space to fit the demand. it is a business after all and thus, I doubt that LF and even the chains would want to loose out on potential people who want to see their movie.
