Chronocidal Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Wouldn't that be "The Re-Return of the Jedi" then? Or, maybe Episode IX: "We Found One More!" Quote
Dobber Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Ep. 9 pushed back to Dec 2019. http://collider.com/star-wars-9-release-date-jj-abrams/ I'm really happy about that as I hated the move to May and much prefer SW at Christmas time. Just made the Holiday's all the more special for me. Chris Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 I think Memorial Day was the traditional release from the start of the franchise, but Christmas just makes more sense on multiple levels. With Marvel releases coming out roughly three a year, they can keep December free for Star Wars stuff, and not sabotage their own movies. Between that, the merchandising extravaganza that goes along with Christmas, and people having time to go as a family, there's really no downside. Quote
Dynaman Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Christmas is good with me, I like cooler weather to go out to a movie anyway. (might sound nuts but it's true) Quote

Kelsain Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 My biggest issue with it, is that the release date always seems to coincide with my company's holiday party. Last year, they said attendance was mandatory (well, would be VERY frowned upon by our VP.) Said VP & most of senior staff then didn't show up to party... Quote

I don't want to wait in line in winter to see this movie. I live in Northern, BC in Canada. It gets really cold here. Edited September 20, 2017 by Sandman Quote

505thAirborne Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 The Force is strong with this trailer! Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I'm... very iffy about this. TFA was a giant festering pile of disappointment for me, and this looks like it's going to continue all my gripes about that film. At the same time, it also looks so damn pretty! I'm so conflicted Quote
dizman Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 So what are the chances on Rey losing a hand this movie, or maybe they will switch it up and chop off a leg? Quote
Phobos Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Looks like ill be passing on this one. Especially since TFA was crap. It has a very updated "Empire Strikes Back" feel to it. It'd be awesome if Luke was the last Jedi, and has to take out both Kylo and Rey. I'd pay to see that. Quote

Dobber Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Very much looking forward to this movie, but this and the teaser trailer didn't do anything for me. TFA trailers all hit me in the "feels" this one didn't Chris Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I wish I could say I'm more hyped for this film but I'm not. Still going to see it if I can. Quote

If Luke doesn't by it in this one or early in IX then Leia will be a force ghost (possible voice actor replacement) to tell Rey that Kylo is her brother. Then again if the trailer is any indication we'll get that little bit this movie. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Even in a galaxy far, far away... History repeats itself. Quote
Dobber Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 After watching the trailer a few more times I'm really starting to like it (the trailer) quite a bit. SWNN posted this great fan made mega trailer, which uses scenes from the teaser and the new trailer spliced together. Only thing I don't like is the laughing at the end. Quote
peter Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) The trailer didn't excite me, but I'll still go see it. Edited October 10, 2017 by peter Quote
azrael Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 On the bright side ... At least they get rid of the stupid Kylo Ren mask for his puny scar. Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) I'm hoping after episode 9 we'll see something completely new in the Star Wars universe on the silver screen. KOTOR I wish. Edited October 10, 2017 by TangledThorns Quote

KOTOR I wish. Nope, not gonna happen. Disney has an established money-printing formula and why would they deviate from that? Some of us clamour for new material, but enough are satisfied with "more of the same". Quote
Thom Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Okay, liking this so dang much! A bit of misdirection going on though, I think. I think the part at the beginning, when she's talking about something inside her being awake, is the same conversation at the end, when she's asking for someone to show her where she belongs. I'm pretty sure she is also talking to Luke, and probably after his doubts first tell him not to train her. A lot of great things going on though. Plenty of space battles. Plenty FEELS, especially with Kylo's will he or won't he kill his mother. I would guess that killing his father wasn't as cathartic as he had hoped it would. And Snoke getting Rey there, more than likely follows after the scene with Kylo holding his hand out. Dang, can't wait until Dec! Quote
