Just saw it. AT-AT’s! Mon Mothma! Old school Star Destroyers! So many chills-inducing visuals in 90 seconds or whatever it was. I’m in.

You mean: so many things you have already seen more than 30 years ago ? Ok… cinema nostalgia has killed for good creativity. This is truly terrible.

this is like complaining about U-boats and P-51 Mustangs in a WWII movie. It’s set the same year as ANH, should they have completely redesigned everything and avoided tying it in with any recognizable characters whatsoever? Or do you think they should be setting these new movies so far away in the timeline that they would bear no connection with the original stories beyond the words “Star Wars” in the title? Honestly, these hypothetical “original” and “creative” films everyone claims to want sound completely joyless to me.
