I vastly prefer no 3D. That is just me though.

With the end of Return of the Jedi, the movie ends on a high that the Empire is defeated and the galaxy will move forward. The trailer needs to undo that and show that time has passed, things are still hard and the galaxy isn’t policed by Jedi who help everyone. That the empire still has power and is rising again. But that doesn’t mean that the entire movie will be dark and scary. Look at the trailers for Age of Ultron for reference. They were a lot darker than the movie we watched, but convinced us all that there was an opponent that would challenge the Avengers. Also, every excited for whatever lore they create for the evil force user guy. I hope they get away from the Sith and just him be a bad dude to learned to use the force for bad things on his own. It makes him both terrifying, but not unstoppable for a hero that picks up a lights saber to challenge him. Maybe I didn't phrase it well. I'm not judging what will come off of the trailer, I'm just stating the fear I have how it might go that way. ^^ | ||

The cannon now is only the 6 movies + everything that they produced since Disney bought SW (SW: Rebels TV show, there were some comics too, obviously the upcoming movies, etc). So yeah, you can now forget all of what you knew about the universe. Dark Revan and the KOTOR Era ? Gone. The Yuuzhan Vong ? Never existed. Thrawn ? Just a dream. Jaina and Jacen ? Pffft. The adventures of Rogue and Wraith squadron ? Nope. And the list goes on. They've been hinting at some of the old stuff with the new canon, possibly borrowing old EU ideas. The Sith Empire logo shows up once in one of the new Lando comics. The end of Star Wars Aftermath mentions an unnamed genius Imperial admiral mysteriously pulling the strings behind everything. The Yuuzhan Vong was gonna show up in the cancelled season of Clone Wars, so maybe they're still on the table with whatever comic or book adaptations they'll make from that cancelled material. And we'll see if Rey and Kylo are the new canon's Jaina and Jacen. | ||

I guess the prequels did look gorgeous...some of the time. The poster gives me super KoToR vibes though, so there's hope. Also, that poor African American actor really does seem to be out of breath or scared in every single trailer. Can't catch a break. Hate to break it to you, but John Boyega's not an American. | ||

If I am not wrong, the trailer is playing princess leia's theme at the middle, and then the force theme at the end. The force theme is expected, but the princess leia one was an interesting choice. The fan in me wants to say that there's some foreshadowing going on here, but maybe it's just good music. That said, in the original trilogy, the princess leia theme was used quite specifically as a thematic tool. | ||

IMO we'll get some funny references from the old guys to deliver something for the older fans and a fairly average movie around those references. Granted this will already be better than the last 3 outings, but I will be quite surprised if we get anything which is more than slightly better than average. Yeah logically I think the same as you. You are not doing the movie any service by having high expectations. BUT LIGHTSABERS ARE SO COOL D: | ||

There are stormtroopers light sabers and for some reason an elderly man that ressembles Han Solo delivering bad omens. And that's it. | ||

I like how they did the trailers without revealing much about the plot. I can go in and enjoy the movie without any expectations and enjoy whatever spontaneous events pop up. Any synopsis they make will be bullshit anyways since we all are expecting big twists in the movie even if we're not exactly sure about what those big twists are. Honestly, the mystery builds my hype. | ||

Honestly, the mystery builds my hype. Yes it's shitty but the entire movie is spoiled in the trailer but there is a balance, I would still like to know something about the plot. I don't even know why the Empire is still standing. And even if we didn't get spoiled about the plot, we still got spoiled of a lot of the action that happens in a movie. I feel the same way about the spectre trailer. | ||

It's all fantasy anyway so you can believe what you want about what happened or what didn't happen. maybe for disney it's not canon anymore for me it is. who cares what is "officially" called canon and what not? | ||
