EDIT: The images were removed,but I found another copy of the new scout walker (all the other weren’t too different from the OT.).

It’ll definitely be interesting to see this thing actually move in the film.

I’m digging the design of the Praetorian Guards but why do they gotta be red? That’s just inviting half baked comparisons. Admittedly Snoke having guards was going to invite them anyway but there’s no need to give the naysayers something genuine to bitch about.

I am absolutely loving the look of the Heavy Scout Walker. Hopefully they’re used better than AT-STs were in the OT

Looks like they got pulled down already?

Kind of an odd place to find potential spoilers, but Kylo’s Tie-fighter might be called a “TIE-Silencer”, we get another look at Snoke’s guards, and it even suggests that Luke might be stranded on Ach-To after having crashed his X-Wing there.

Took a while to actually see the crashed X-Wing there, it’s like an inkblot test. 😉

Mildly worried about the cutesy bird creatures pecking at Artoo.

And there needs to be a real sequel trilogy pinball machine.

Laughing at Chewie in hair curlers, then crying when I saw Carrie.

And I thought I saw Moroff in the background of one shot!

This looks weird and interesting.

(I’m getting a bit of a weird 70’s sci-fi film vibe from it all as well. Or is that just me? Obviously SW is from the 70’s, but I’m thinking pre-SW sci-fi films. The sets and locations seem more odd and colourful than what we’ve seen before in SW.)

I’m loving these new creatures. Also, “the first film didn’t even have a number.” You’re all right, Anthony.

its so surreal to be a actor from the old movies only to be on the set of the last jedi 40 years later

I’m loving how they’re still pushing that TLJ will be a bold film that will usher in new concepts and that it will delve deeper into the characters both old and new. Kind of pissed we didn’t get to see The Knights of Ren though.

I suspect that training clip with Daisy defending herself against several enemies at once is KoR-related. It is indeed a bummer we didn’t see them in costume, though.

It’s a Dr. Ball convention! 😉

Seriously though, they do resemble the interrogation droid Vader used on Leia.

Considering there are multiple assailants in the part where Adam is training he could be fighting the KoR as well.

What do you suppose Luke has been eating all this time?

The trailer was great, but just like The ForcecAwakens, the behind the scenes video got me more excited than anything. I can’t stop watching it. What a great time to be a Star Wars fan!

That mushroom looks intelligent. I’d still eat the cute birds.
