Yeah, it would be great, makes me wish the prequels were better.Oh wow, that's cool! I've been seeing them in theaters since The Phantom Menace. I wish I'd started on a higher note...
You're a true Star Wars fan, nice!A New Hope re-release in 97 was my first. Have seen every single one opening night since.
I wanted it for the 14th, but it seems the 21st is probably going to happen!Loool, and we thought the trailer was gonna drop on October 7.
Hello old man.
That has to be a magical feeling back then!
Now i feel old.I think The Phantom Menace was the first movie I ever saw at the theater - or at least the first I remember.
I remember falling asleep during the podracing sequence.
How were the bass mines ?
LOL. True true. But the series made up for it.First Star Wars movie I saw in the cinema?
Not a great choice, but we have to start somewhere.
Same here
I don't remember the first season being much less juvenile than the movie. Ahsoka stayed annoying, and there was a lot of stuff that was worse than the movie, like Dooku Captured, Bombad Jedi, and Gungan General. Rookies was OK.Clone Wars "Movie" was such a boneheaded idea. There was much better material in the first season they could have worked with for a Theater movie. The movie also did a ton of damage to The Clone Wars in general as people never gave the show a chance because of how stupidly kid focused the movie was.
I feel like something along the lines of the 3 Part Ryloth arc would have been a better movie. Introduce you to some big war action, have the little twilek girl Numa. Just overall would have offered a lot more then running around with Stinky etc. but yeah Season 1 had a lot of rough spotsI don't remember the first season being much less juvenile than the movie. Ahsoka stayed annoying, and there was a lot of stuff that was worse than the movie, like Dooku Captured, Bombad Jedi, and Gungan General. Rookies was OK.
Why am I getting emotional at a bunch of fans losing their minds at a title reveal
Oh, and btw, y'all saw this epic Freddie Prinze Jr. rant from today? It's incredible:
Lol yup

Seriously doubting this one. My friend, who has never failed me in the past, works as a projectionist and received the trailer (locked) just today. They also got an e-mail from Disney like 3 weeks ago telling them to put it in front of Maleficent 2, which opens next week.
I can maybe kind of confirm this.
I work in a cinema and my best mate is one of the managers, so he'll often keep me updated with things that are sent through to us, we received embargoed content earlier today - we get given no name, length, or even production company but if you look at what films it unlocks alongside you can usually figure out what the trailer is - and this trailer happens to unlock on the 18th, the same day as Maleficent 2, so it's likely either gonna be the Frozen 2 trailer or Star Wars.
However, we have Zombieland Too out on the same day so it could be possible that it's a teaser trailer for Morbius or Bond instead.
Ugh, the attitude here is kind of off putting to me. I really don't like when people say the prequels were for kids in the same way the OT were and imply that the issue was that people were just too grown up to enjoy them.
And for his point that there's no "levelling up" in the Star Wars universe and it's just a video game thing...Anakin literally says "my powers have doubled since the last time we met."
A new hope!Take it with however many grains of salt you want, but here's some Redditor comments regarding the trailer being October 21.
Edit: warning that the Reddit link is StarWarsLeaks, so beware of spoilers clicking although they're unlikely.
I definitely agree that the message of the Jedi's downfall was fumbled. But he's just wrong when he says power level or skill doesn't matter to winning a fight. He says that Obi-Wan teaches Luke how to be the best Jedi in the world in no time flat, no he obviously does not. There's a three year gap before Luke receives any proper training, and even after Vader absolutely schools him. Because he rushes into a fight with Vader, rather than listening to Yoda who tells him "you must complete the training." It's pretty clear that Luke has "leveled up" and become more powerful and skilled by ROTJ.Yeah, and Anakin was still defeated by Obi Wan in the end. And Anakin says that whilst falling deeper into the dark side. The whole point of Anakin being so sure of his training is to show that it lead him to the dark side. The problem with the prequels is precisely that Lucas fumbled an effective way to show his true message "these Jedi obsessed with forms and politics made a big mistake". It's a lot clearer in The Clone Wars. And it doesn't mean training doesn't matter in any way, but it's unimportant to the will of the Force in the end.
And Freddie isn't talking about the saga being for kids per se, he's talking about how the franchise has to keep evolving with current kids and adult fans can't expect the franchise to just stagnate along with them.
The marketing campaign always starts after the final trailer drops and tickets go on sale. (which reminds me... it's going to be so annoying when TROS doesn't beat Endgame's records for presales or something like that. The clickbait titles we'll have to endure. Ugh).
And when it starts, it doesn't stop. Last time we got like 5 international versions of the trailer after the final one, and then tv spots, and then it's relentless. And with the Knights of Ren finally, on screen, new ships and the Emperor coming back, the marketing for merchandise is going to be even crazier.

I literally watch that video sometimes to cheer me up from time to time...

Freddie says, "Luke's skill doesn't dictate whether he wins or loses. The Emperor doesn't dictate whether he wins or loses. The Force dictates who wins or loses based on balance." He's not right. For George Lucas, as video gamey as it may sound, it is very much about power levels. As he wrote it,Power comes from the midichlorian count. There's a quote somewhere where Lucas compares power levels, saying if Anakin is a 10 then the Emperor is an 8 or something. He said "one would have to be either Windu or Yoda to compete with Palpatine", that Anakin is "maybe 20% less powerful than the Emperor" after his injuries. If Luke should be as powerful Anakin at his full potential then it's pretty obvious that his lack of skill definitely factored into his defeat in Empire.
He's talking about balance of the Force being something literal - Luke and Leia balancing out the Emperor and Anakin - when that's not how Lucas has explained it himself. GL has said "Which brings us up to the films 4, 5, and 6, in which Anakin's offspring redeem him and allow him to fulfill the prophecy where he brings balance to the Force by doing away with the Sith and getting rid of evil in the universe..." The dark side is a corruption of the Force, like a cancer, that unbalances it. He didn't mean for the Force to keep rebalancing itself by having an equal number of light and dark side users or whatever. That may not be the way it is in the sequel trilogy, but that was Lucas's intention.
It just annoys me seeing this guy act like a total know it all angrily shouting his views as gospel when they're really off base.
I remember KK and RJ being so excited about this new trilogy. It must suck for Rian seeing the Feige and D&D movies getting prioritized before his own trilogy.So we went from an official announcement from Lucasfilm about Rian working on a trilogy... to comments from him saying "I'm still working on it" and now to "well, it would be nice if it happened"
What a journey.

Oh well...LF loss.
edit: also relevant.
Their director/ producer line up for the future screams "lets play it safe".I found it crazy that they officially announced that that Feige rumor was true.
It ain't looking good when the thing announced 2 years ago is in the "if it happens" lane when they're also announcing a new Feige produced project.
