I'm fine with every other change, but my God "Jedi Rocks" is horrid.
These were mine, although my first-first was a dub of ESB before ROTJ came out in the theater.
Yep, same here, back in 1996 too.I grew up with these bad boys. ;)
Yeah it was weird growing up in the 90's being addicted to the OT on VHS and then all of these prequels came out right during your adolescence. Like, there was a part of me that knew they weren't great but they also had tons of fighting and a metric ton of side merchandise like toys and games.
In a way, going to see the prequels felt more like going to see a cartoon on the big screen. It wasn't the prestige nerd event it is now (I'd argue The Lord of the Rings was that back then), but it was hard to escape at least enjoying Star Wars in general during the prequel era.

I grew up loving the prequels too up until my late teens. By then, I was somewhat mixed towards I and III. Meanwhile, I just outright hated II the more watched that one.
(I also blame Christopher Nolan for advancing my snobby film tastes)

I even remember the Leonard Maltin interviews with Lucas. Classic times for me. I think I still have these somewhere.I grew up with these bad boys. ;)
Ha! I remember it cut off right at the shot of the second Death Star exploding in the sky on Endor. So I missed the scene with Han and Leia (he's my brother), Vader funeral pyre, and yes, nub nub. :p
I almost want it to be just for the rage but
It wouldn't make any sense and the connotation of revenge is pretty poor taste to end the trilogy, especially considering it directly contradicts Luke's character
At this point I'm super interested in how they approach the title announce and if they do any kind of teaser before Celebration. I think it's an automatic to assume a trailer at Celebration in April. But we have now 3 weeks until the next major release that could benefit from some kind of cross marketing. Captain Marvel on March 8. Avengers comes out after Celebration.
I'm thinking either A) we get the title within these next 3 weeks before Captain Marvel, and then a teaser attached to it. Trailer at Celebration.
or B) we get a title announcement and that's it until Celebration, when boom trailer, which then gets attached to Avengers.

April would be way too early for a full trailer. we haven't got anything but teasers till late summer so far. Usually around September.
The longer things go the more convinced I am they won't show the first teaser till Celebration.
oh shit oh shit how about umm "SHAZAM" What.. no? aw dang. k how about .. Homecoming. No ? huh you gotta be shitting me. Um hmm
ehh Im not really accurate on my word usage for trailer vs teaser. Whatever I mean like the first little something that mostly black transition screens and voice-over and only a minute long or whatever, like the first thing we got for Force Awakens that November way back when
I had that set. Only regret was that it was pan and scan. I didn't get letterbox until the Special Editions.These were mine, although my first-first was a dub of ESB before ROTJ came out in the theater.
Grew up with Star Wars and Return of the Jedi on VHS taped from tv which was the best, all the old school toy commercials and weird 80's quality commercials. Just fantastic. That and the Ewok movies, both of those were taped from tv too I think, I'll have to ask my folks if they have any of that still, maybe I could convert it all to digital, it would be such a trip to watch those versions again. I don't think I saw Empire for real until the THX VHS set came out.
Good tie back to Episode 1.
Leaves the door open for the future.
Episode IX: the bridge from I to X
I got my letterboxes after dubbing the laserdiscs. That blew my mind.
Oooh, all the Hasbro toy reveals:

The more I sit on it the more I think it's seriously the perfect title, whether it's anything like my idea or not.
The argument against it is that Johnson's subtext with The Last Jedi is that the Force belonged to everyone and the one to defeat Snoke/Kylo was a nobody. So thus deeming her the anointed one would revert back to the Monomyth when we seemed like we were (thankfully) escaping the issues of Lucas' prophecy.
It could use that though, turns out there is no chosen one, it was always gonna just end up being some random person who corrected the course. But Kylo is so intent on making himself the one, finishing what Vader started, he's obsessed with fulfilling prophecy and it blinds him, while Rey simply is Rey and that's all that matters.
I hope there is no prophecy. That everything good was built on the effort of imperfect people.. over the course of time. That there is no one person who is perfect and is going to save the day. Rey is just the one to piece it all together, and aside from making mistakes of her own, has the knowledge and wisdom to reflect on the legacy of the Skywalkers and pick/choose what to use to redefine and rebuild the Jedi order. She's just a good person in the right moment.. the one to finish what Anakin and Luke started. Without her, the galaxy cannot progress, but without Anakin and Luke, Rey is unable to have that opportunity.
Star Wars: A new order is the best title I have seen so far.
Its ambiguous and sets up the new status quo after IX.
