I’m just sad that instead of doing something new they’re re-using stuff which they know will bring an audience. It’s pretty lazy.
I can understand this sentiment being applied to TFA (where recycling ship designs, characters, and imagery 30 years after the events of OT could be seen as straining credibility), but given that this film is set shortly/immediately before ANH, I wouldn’t expect to see anything “new” in terms of vehicles, technology, etc.
And BTW I am a minority here but I honestly hope there will be no Vader in this movie or any of the main OT characters
I’m on the fence about this. For safety’s sake, I’d be happy if Vader didn’t show up (they mucked up his character enough in the PT), but if it was handled well, it could be a cool inclusion.
