Let me just say TFA will be massive let down to any purist. The darkside of the force=SITH even the shitty prequels kept to that!
It was the prequels that introduced having darkside users being Sith. The OT had ONE Dark Lord of the Sith; Vader. Palpatine wasn’t a Sith until the prequels and then everybody became a Darth . Sith weren’t even mentioned in the OT. So this whole thing with the Sith is a prequel thing.
There are already big warning signs for me
- Space ships battling above land (as seen in trailer) Q. Star Wars? A. Yes, indicates battles in SPACE.
We’ve already seen there is a battle in space in one of the trailers.
But why do there have to be battles in space? Empire didn’t have a single battle in space. Just chases. The battle was on the ground. Just because the film has the title Star wars, does not mean that every battle has to take place in Space.
