i mean, how many of the books have hinted about the unknown regions and amassing resources as part of the contingency. dead empty ships waiting for their moment of need by the emperor.
Reapers in dark space, I'm tellin' ya.
... I'm confused. Is there anything to suggest that they're love interests beyond sharing some scenes?
Yeah that's probably a good guess. This could be a scary reveal for the characters who discover them, and then put pressure on them going forward as a sort of ticking clock plot.
A fleet of Star Destroyers that actually aren't manned but are sitting there waiting to be used would be a good way of both selling the danger of a potentially overwhelming threat without also conceding the ridiculousness of the tiny ass Resistance wiping out 100 imperial ships.
Getting rough out there trying to avoid spoilers. Even the fucking YouTube thumbnails in my recommended feed are potentially alluding to what I think are some of the leaks
D23 footage was great btw. I like my Rey all 'Darkside', even if it is just a false (force?) vision. Regardless, I want that as an action figure!
Watched the HQ version a few times and, man, oh man, I need to see this thing in a movie theater.
Quite a few good surround sound-y moments, for one.

I didn't bother reading the thread because I knew that was gonna happen.
A mod needs to sacrifice himself so he ban everyone in that thread doing "predictions".
Or make a shitlist and ban them after the movie is out.

A fleet of dead imperial ships sounds familiar. Wasn't that a plot device in the original thrawn trilogy novels?
The Katana Fleet. Basically a lost fleet from the end days of the Old Republic, sent out on some grandiose expedition that saw it never return. It's not quite the same, but the basic concept of a large fleet hidden somewhere in the farthest reaches of space is a familiar plot device because, well, it's convenient when you want to make an otherwise small faction a suddenly legitimate threat.
There were always leaks, though less for TLJ. TFA had a ton, but Internet folks weren't as spiteful towards Star Wars back then.
These days, I'm seeing a lot more "Hey check out this leak I found somewhere *posts screed that is 75% legit MSW leaks, 25% trolling bullshit*" It's insidious.
Blu-ray quality version of the footage with 5.1 audio: https://thedigitaltheater.com/2019/...d23-special-look-1080p-dts-hd-ma-and-ac3-5-1/
Now, this general idea - of a fleet specifically sent out to be hidden - wouldn't gel so well in this specific instance because... well... it's the origin of the First Order. 'The Emperor sent them to hide out in a remote part of the galaxy to then be called on later' has been done by our main villains. I mean, redundancy is possible, but still...
also, while I wasn't seeking out spoilers in the pre-TFA days, I imagine a lot of the TFA leaks were storyboards, concept art, etc. for stuff that never ended up happening or got misinterpreted (e.g. evil Luke). TROS has a shorter production schedule and, being the third in a trilogy, has a lot less room for brainstorming all-over-the-place shit that goes nowhere.
Nice trailer, but yeah, the swiss army lightsaber lol. Looks stupid with it being ignited already as she is flipping it open. XD But hey, can't wait for this movie.
I don't want to know the details but has the whole movie leaked again, like what happened with the TFA shooting script? TLJ never had many major leaks.
No, it's not nearly that extensive. More than TLJ, and some pretty crucial details are out there, but nothing on the level of that TFA leak.
It's still a really interesting read, and fun to compare with the final film.
That's a relief. I hope nothing major leaks. I would for sure be spoiled. I just know it.
Lando is thier dad and it turns out Lando's real father was Mace Windu
I'm wondering if the selection of OT/PT clips in this trailer is meant to allude to specific people/things that will be revisited in IX? There's a shot of Lando, a shot of the second Death Star, a shot of Palpatine - All returning. A shot of Darth Maul, and we know there's a double-bladed red lightsaber here.
But Qui-Gon, Anakin, Obi-Wan? Could that be alluding to potential Neeson, Hayden, and Ewan cameos? Mace Windu? Shmi and Padme seem less likely but maybe?

Liam Neeson has already reprised his role as Force ghost Qui-Gon in Clone Wars and Ewan just signed on for a show as Obi-Wan so both of them are clearly willing to return to the fold if needed.
I'm hoping Qui-Gon shows up again. Really want to see him teaching Obi-Wan to become one with the force.
Nah I don't think so, seems like they contracted out for that part of the reel, anyway:
Won't deny there are some real choice shot pairings in the editing, though. Sheev's raising his arms, then a cut to a closeup of Kylo? :chefskiss:
This little bit, too, was striking as hell:

If not already mentioned that's a new shot of Rey with Leia's hand which is from the same scene as the TFA teaser
I just posted this in the Off-Topic thread, but I know many of you are avoiding that thread so I thought I'd post it here too:
I have followed up my monstrous teaser breakdown with a fittingly huge breakdown of this footage. Here's a preview:
Bonus: I mention in the article that I think the two shots of our heroes on the desert planet Pasaana are flopped and will appear the opposite way in the final film. Well, here's what that would look like:
There's a very rough speculated timeline of the film in there. I promise you I know nothing spoiler-y and only used officially released, widely available information to construct it.
