It’s really hard to say why the DS has this weird position, but for sure this is something never seen in a SW flick. Edwards really knows how to raise expectations and how to play on different scales : remember his Godzilla, where gigantism and human perspective are mixed into the same shot ? This is something the man is very good at. I also love the DS-solar eclipse shot (very nice hommage to the Mustafar eclipse Anakin/Vader stares at in ROTS). There is a “Edwards” movie feel (i.e. “Godzilla” feel) as well as a “SW movie” feel, something that the previous trailer was missing. I’m still puzzled about a few things but now I’ll stick to the fact that I might really like this stand-alone movie.

[by the way did I mention that I don’t like TFA ? I’m not sure I did]
