Ok, I know this is the SPOILER thread for this, but here’s some advice from the director himself for those of you who may be uncertain about whether to watch this imminent trailer for THE LAST JEDI - www.darkhorizons.com/last-jedi-director-says-avoid-the-new-trailer/

As much as I like a good trailer myself, I’ve gotten to the stage where just seeing the initial teaser is enough for me these days, as that’s all the preview footage/plot points i need beforehand. So I’ll certainly be abstaining from this one too. Just a heads up for everyone else to consider however, as perhaps this one may be giving away a major plot point or two.

Were I a moviegoer, I’d eagrely accept the challenge just to see how long I could hold my bladder.

The Last Jedi poster…

‘The Star Wars Show’ did a short unveiling/description video on the poster, here:-

A little strange Snoke is not in the poster…

Still a 'shop job instead of a painting, but it’s so much better than the TFA poster.

Indifference would’ve infused me yet again, but Luke’s presence prevented that.

I sense some misdirection in that trailer

Whether it’s misdirection or not, I can definitely see where they’re trying to make it different.

I see Rey and Snoke in the same shot.

i bet the last jedi was actually ben solo and luke still being alive and in hiding was a recent reveal to both the first order and the resistance.

So, thoughts and speculation on the trailer:

I wonder how much of the movie is really being shown here. It feels like even the Rey/Snoke scene could be as early as halfway through the film, if Luke declines to train her and Kylo arrives on the island.

We see nothing of Canto Bight.

Chewie looks, if possible, even stranger than in TFA. This is the one thing that really bugs me about the whole trailer. I’m all about them Porgs however.

There appears to be a big attack on a Republic stronghold, perhaps quite early on. If this is where Kylo decides that he can’t destroy Leia, he would fall out of favor with Snoke and Rey would replace him. I doubt very much that she would, of course, so my guess is she accepts him as her teacher. Side note, it’s irritating that they have an ‘upgraded’ medical frigate. It was annoying that it was a standard ship of the line in ROTJ, and it’s stupid that it’s remained so 30 years later.

This has the sort of action I expect of a climactic final installment of a trilogy, so it may not be too much to expect that the Republic destroys much of the First Order, or vice versa (though I doubt that). It would be refreshing to have the war somewhat settled going into the final chapter, to focus on the characters, but perhaps that’s too much to hope for.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Agreed, though he looks better in TFA and TLJ than he did in ROTS. (ESB>ANH>ROTJ>>TFA>TLJ>>>ROTS as far as Chewie’s appearance goes IMHO.)

It almost looks like they went with some CGI “enhancement” on his face here for some reason, but that might just be my eyes playing tricks on me.
