‘Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker Celebration Chicago Trailer Reaction | Crowd Reaction!’:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRUI5236s8

(Very cool seeing the audience reaction - especially as what happened at the end of the showing of the trailer on the first time around…)
 

Loved Palpatine’s laugh at the end of the trailer - echoes of Max von Sydow’s Ming laugh - at the end of Flash Gordon.
 

The Episode IX teaser poster…

I liked this from the teaser trailer…

That’s a pretty decent discart mate 😃

There are a few Holiday Special covers here - many can be found in the Index thread for this section as well as a few posts down on this page - and the next one too.

Hope you find something you like…

Great to see Kelly Marie Tran get a such a great reception on stage from the fans there.

On another note, can we add an explicit no spoiler designation to the title for safety?

^ It’s going to be difficult to do that mate - the Episode IX title (and also the poster for IX) isn’t really a spoiler.

The name of it will be all over the mainstream news, tv, radio, internet - as of whenever it’s announced during the Celebration Panel for Episode IX (today at 11am CDT?).

Tomorrow there’ll be posters for it in public places and on adverting hoardings etc - there’ll likely be no escape from it - The Spark Of Hope.

I think that later today this thread’s name should be updated, since the official title for Episode IX will be revealed later today.

Way ahead of you mate 😃
 

Plus…

Your thoughts on the Episode IX title…
 

We had a separate title discussion thread thread for…
 

The Force Awakens - Who like The Force Awakens as a title?

and

The Last Jedi - Name EPISODE VIII Thread
 

so may as well have one for Episode IX too… 😃
 

What are your thoughts on the title for the final segment of the Sequel Trilogy; and the last film of the Main Saga?

For more info on some of the non Star Wars content that will be appearing on Disney+…

Tobar’s superb The Marvel Cinematic Universe thread in the Media Section of the site is well worth a visit.

as well as Tobar’s annual ‘The Scifi Films and Television of’… threads in the Media Section too, which may be of interest:-

2019 : 2018 : 2017 : 2016 : 2015 : 2014 : 2013

and there are numerous threads related to Disney and Pixar content in the Media Section too.

Not too sure if there are any National Geographic threads in there… 😉

Honestly, no amount of cuts will turn this into a good movie, and any young one is better off seeing the original classics. Tell him that TFA is a boring ripoff and TLJ is a nihilistic middle finger (“naughty word”) to the fans. They were made by greedy people who didn’t care about making Star Wars good anymore.

The young lad will likely see the classics regardless - though the OP, as stated… ‘I have a 7 year old son who desperately wants to watch The Force Awakens’…

Mate, this thread is for coming up with ideas and suggestions to help achieve a PG Edit of the The Force Awakens film. It is not for people to put a downer on the ideas and contributions here - or give their opinion it is not worth the effort - in the way you have.
 

The young lad doesn’t likely need to be told to enjoy TFA & TLJ or not. Maybe he can even watch them with an open mind…
 

Though feel free to take your views to the TFA and TLJ review threads.
 

If not already confirmed before…
