The music and seeing Luke on the Falcon were great.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Pre-release)
- Thread starter rodneyfaile
- Start date
I thought that was a terrifc trailer, seeing Luke on the Falcon like that, along with the music, which made it really feel more relevant to the OT.
But they really do get minus points for showing the Falcon burst out of the ground because it makes it very obvious what kind of a set piece they are setting up on the mining planet.
So far there has really been very little spoiled about the film ,unlike TFA, and they have done a great job keeping the main mysteries secret.
I hope the don't keep repeating the mistakes of the TFA and Rogue One by releasing too many trailers with addtional footage as we get closer to the date. It isn't far off now. Perhaps the ticket bookings sales have not kept up with the volumes for TFA, which isn't surprising.

Looks like they're keeping with JJ's having the Falcon keep running into stuff. Actually, as already said, the trailer looks very JJ Abrams.

Ah, yes I think I see what you mean there.

Yes! I was watching the game and dreading the commercial breaks because they'd run a trailer the other night too. If I hadn't seen the LucasFilm logo at the last second as my head was turning away from my T.V. I would have been on a dead sprint to the bathroom!
Did anyone else wonder if he turned on the Falcon via the Force? I recount his hand being on the wall, but I don't know if that's where the Falcon's main powerswitch is.
I was thinking the same thing! I'm good with it being this or if he's talking to Kylo and crew.

Just watching the new spot again at 1/4 speed.

Looks like the Falcon is going to need another new antenna!

It's a better trailer. I don't know about you, but that goofy, pretentious "Breathe...just breathe" narration over trailer 1 was a serious turnoff for me.
I'm also in the camp of "trying to care, but finding it difficult".

Something felt wrong when I saw that. I can't put my finger on it.

New clips have me STOKED! Hope the MF can keep the new style dish though...I prefer it over the round one.

I just meant the tv spot was better, not that I didn't care about the movie before lol. And I gotta say, I have no idea how the teaser narration could have possobly gotten you so mad. It's Jedi training, seems exactly the kind if thing a Master might say.
I'm going to predict Rey leaves the island with Kylo (after fighting Luke, a la the scene in the rain) and Luke takes the Falcon and the rest of the gang to find the resistance and he's the one flying the Falcon at the Krayt battle. And if this is so, it will make me forgive any anything else I don't like about the movie cuz that would be an amazing storyline.

The main power switch is right above the cockpit hatch. You hit it with your fist and it powers right up. At least that's how Han did it.

Thats what I was thinking. If they make Luke turn to the dark side, Im going to be so freaking pissed.

I dunno, I really don't think we'll see Luke turn to the dark side. I get the feeling he's simply seen enough bloodshed and destruction to realize it's a self-perpetuating cycle, with or without his involvement. You blow up one Death Star and they just build another. You get rid of one, deformed, old evil geezer and another one takes his place whispering in the ears of the naive and susceptible, "join me and rule the galaxy." It never ends and he's had enough.
I suspect Luke is simply looking for much bigger answers now and doesn't want to get dragged into the same, old mess.
Still, it would be pretty cool to see him take the Falcon for a spin.

I'm more inclined to think Rey will turn. In ESB, Luke was tempted and resisted...perhaps she won't resist. Would allow them to follow the "pattern" but subvert it, do something new (of course EU fans know ALL jedi become dark at one point or another haha). Would be super gutsy of Disney to take their beloved protagonist and make her a bad guy, but I think the mouse has more nerve than a lot of people give them credit for. See: Jyn Erso.

I like it. Those who resist the notion of Rey turning are too precious about the character. Disney says the story won't go the way we expect, and turning the new hero is about as unexpected as it gets. I hope they're not just blowing smoke and actually do make some bold choices like that.

The problem i have with that is if he knew of her back then, why stash her on jakku? Just take her and mold her from a young age and you get the warrior you want. Waiting until their old enough and strong enough to say know and possibly take you down is quite, you know, stupid.
