I didn't get into CW. I wasn't interested. I did like Rebels. The Mandalorian is very different.

I don't know man, I get some definite Dave Filoni vibes from this show.

I liked Clone Wars. I was in and out of Rebels but never finished the show...but I purchased all the (available) Black Series figures of the crew(and Thrawn), so I liked it that much. I like The Mandalorian and it keeps my interest so far, but I maintain my hesitance with it because I keep waiting for the ball to get dropped, with DSW woke BS.
I admit, this probably keeps me from REALLY enjoying it, but F you Disney, it's deserved.
For what it's worth.

Remember flying through the inside of the Death Star in the Falcon?!?!

Yup, I “member” alright and it was done better too. I don’t need to see this excrement of a “reimagining”, so called sequel.

To be fair the Millennium Falcon was flying through the inside of something in every movie it was ever in except for ANH...One of the things I noticed though is that I've watched most of the trailers and spots but every time someone brings something like this or Rey jumping on the Falcon I'm like "huh? I don't even remember that". My Alzheimer might be flaring up...

This is true, and I don’t deliberately watch the tv spots so I am amazed at the things people can pick out.
Again. haven't read a single spoiler... that looks BAD A$$ to me.

JJ is good at that. He knows how to make genuinely exciting scenes and considering that I'm totally numb to visual effects unless it's truly stylish or artistic (like Under the Skin or BR2049 or even stuff like Martian) I think that's a sign of a decent director in this genre. I just hope the script is up to scratch. I'm happy to forgive a movie a certain amount of silly **** if it has a decent story and it manages to work on an emotional level as well. TFA bleeds from a lot of wounds but I still like it cuz overall it works to me. TLJ is bombarded for a lot of small silly **** that is undoubtedly there but had the rest work most people would overlook them. So I'm cautious about TROS cuz it just looks like it tries to do a lot of things considering that nigh nothing was set up in TLJ, it does have some cool imagery and Star Wars feel to it, but it will all depend on how the story will go for me. And tone.
I wish it was just a JJ trilogy so TROS wouldn't feel like it's two flicks crammed into one... cuz it DOES feel like that.
It's gonna feel like Jedi, I think... first part is going to be dealing with the end of TLJ - clean up... and then second part is just a tribe of baby yodas taking down the Empire while Kylo and Rey sort themselves out with the Emperor's spider legged clone.
I may have guess 100% correctly, but even if someone here know's all spoilers, don't let me know I'm right.

Drawing on Duel of the Fates, flying through the corridors of Echo base (or some equivalent) in the Falcon and Palpatine spouting Prequel Era yet meta dialog.
I swear with every bit of new footage I'm just baffled. It's clear that this trilogy has very little to do with the Skywalker family, so much as it does (apparently) with Palpatine who is coming from out of nowhere to close the story out.
Sure it will make a ton of money, but man. What a mess.

This may have been discussed already, but the demands of life keep me from reading all 254 pages of this thread. If it has been discussed, sorry, if not, bear with me.......
I saw images again of C-3PO with his red eyes and him carrying Chewie's bowcaster and bandoleer. I also recently watched an interview of Alan Tudyk (K-2SO) and he briefly mentioned a moment when he met Anthony Daniels and before he could even introduce himself, he claims Anthony looked at him and said something along the lines of "Oh **** you", referring to the love that was being thrown his way after K-2SO did so much to help Jyn and Cassian in Rogue One, essentially whooping some a$$ and dying a hero.
So then I got to wondering, is red eyed 3PO being re-programmed to be a warrior, and that's also why he's carrying Chewie's bowcaster? Is this an attempt to bring K-2SO hero level to 3PO; to have him do something outside of talking Luke, Han, and Chewie off rotisserie spits? (Which, by the way, was more Luke's doing). It seems like C-3PO doesn't have a lot of stand out moments.
I don't know how I'll feel if I see 3PO laying down the scunion on a bunch of First Order stormie's a la Terminator style. I don't know why I made that connection, but I'm thinking there will be a moment where be goes from protocol droid to warrior droid. And I also can't help to think that based on Daniels' comments, he maybe said something and wants a K-2SO style send off? I don't think he'll be destroyed, but maybe have a bad a$$ moment?
Wondering if anyone else feels that way?

After his moment in ATOC, I wouldn't mind if 3PO got some serious upgrades. But I don't think that's the case. As he seems to have the red photoreceptors on Pasaana, but no weapons.
