Apparently so, and I’m nor one of them either. Actually, the only eu story I didn’t really care for was the killing off of Chewie. But the story lines of the Disney movies has no problem killing off characters right and left. Heck, they even killed off darn near everyone in R1.
It’s bad enough that they extended the mandibles and jaws to make the ship look goofy, with no apparent logical advantage other than an extremely obvious nod to Lando’s comment “Hey, what have you done to my ship?“, but when I saw the trailer showing pristine white corridor padding inside what I assumed was the Falcon, I became nauseated. Maybe there’s going to be a scene where Han puts a $#!+ load of UV lamps aimed at all the padding to give them that 100 year old, distressed look. And I’m sure that in true Disney fashion, they will never explain why Han would do such a thing.
The extra front landing gear boxes is another thing. Personally, I thought they should have been there all along, given what I have determined as a structurally unsound single front landing leg, but O.K., that is not the evolution we saw in the original trilogy. But to add these boxes to a prequel only to see them gone in ANH is ridiculous. Maybe they’ll provide an explanation…yeah, just like the explanation we got for the rotatable gun turret in TFA which would rupture something internally.
Sorry about the rant. This probably belongs in a different thread, but I saw others discussing the disturbing Falcon elements from the trailer, so I put it here.
