Anyway, I hate the title and I’m more confused by the trailer than anything. JJ’s doing his old gleefully cryptic schtick again, and I feel like I still just don’t have enough to go on to make any kind of judgement beyond “nice to see Billy Dee flying the Falcon again” or “Finn’s new costume is cool”. Would it kill Abrams/Kennedy to have given a three-sentence summary at the panel so that I could have some vague idea of what the stakes are here?
I don’t mind the title, but I agree with the rest of this. JJ’s box of whatever he calls it can be exhausting and Schtick is a perfect description.
My first thought at the scene of Rey running and jumping over the ship as it approaches is that it’s probably some sort of training exercise that’s being edited in such a way as to make it look like an Epic battle.
