I have no idea how you are drawing that conclusion from my comment.

I'm guessing with Celebration coming up here in Orlando, we should finally get a trailer right? At least a quick teaser.
Laura Dern is clearly a Rian Johnson fan...

Almost certainly.

you expect corporations to try?
When so many people are willing to defend mediocre to crap, just so they don't appear 'wicked' or 'evil'?

I really only want to see the trailers and read nothing else much, even though its so hard not to read it.

I'm with you on that. How long till I have to bail on this thread?

Yeah. I try to ovoid it, but sometimes I come and check, since theres not too much spoilers yet. I know sometimes people will come and say way too much.

Yea I normally try to avoid major spoilers if possible. So are they keeping a tighter lid on this one than they were for TFA?
Rogue One was a much better movie than TFA, IMO. So if he says Episode 8 is really good, then says RO was just interesting, I'm thinking his opinion doesn't say much.

I think when it comes to Star Wars movies, just just have to know what you like, and only you. Because to many people have too many opinions on on what is good or bad.
While its great to see a movie get tons of good reviews, I still want to see it myself, because I might think differently.
Like most of the movies that make it to the Academy Awards, I probably won't like them. Like the winner this year, Moonlight, I read what it was about and have no intention to see it.

I liked rogue one, but I liked the force awakens more. The characters of TFA are just so much better.

I think it's a bit early to assume that.
The only thing the article says is that they may be used in a large ground assault sequence, like in ESB.
Well..... we saw that in Rogue One too... and I didn't see anyone screaming "ESB Rehash".
I suggest we all just wait and see before we start calling it a rehash.

R1 was a dif story. TFA was basically an ANH reboot, now we have a Jedi being trained by a reclusive master and a large ground battle featuring walkers...sure feels like it's set up to tick off all the ESB boxes. I bet there'll be a big reveal about Rey's parentage too...
I hope I'm wrong and this movie plays it a little less safe. I get why TFA had to do what it did, but TLJ now has elbow room. They should use it.

No it wasn't.
It didn't reboot anything. Using the term "reboot" is completely incorrect, as that implies that it is somehow resetting the story universe. TFA had OT characters in it...reprising their roles. There isn't any way that it can be a reboot, since it's a sequel.
Perhaps that seems pedantic. It isn't. We should be more careful about the words that we use, and in turn the thoughts that go along with them. Tagging TFA as a reboot puts people in mind of it being a replacement, when in fact it is a direct sequel. The fact that it had similar elements to ANH (which you acknowleded, and even said that you understood why that was done) doesn't make it a reboot.
There has been talk that TLJ will follow the ANH/ESB pattern--which is all speculation, mixed with some stringing together of one or two stroy elements to try to make the connection that "See.... they're going to do it just like ANH/ESB".
The truth is, we don't know that. And we won't know that until December. So until then we should probably refrain from using phrases like "ESB rehash confirmed" because it just belies a cynical state of mind that rightfully shouldn't exist at this stage.
