they're all standing the wrong way, finn yells too much and rey hasn't even had any training, and they're all not really friends!
Ah so someone else who doesn't even like Star Wars who just wants to scream into the void. Sigh.
That announcement about more SW shows in the works is cool because I finally get my Enfys Nest show. HINT HINT, IGER.
I hope the Cassian show is used to incorporate what could have been Solo 2 ideas, with Enfys Nest, Maul/Crimson Dawn, etc. A show just about a pre-Rogue One Cassian Andor doesn't sound especially interesting (though I could be wrong!) but think it would make for a good umbrella for 'Age of Empire' stories in general.
I also hope that these other shows in the works for D+ are set in the ROTJ/TFA gap or, god forbid, the TLJ/TROS gap. I don't need any more content about the 'Dark Times' just like I don't need any more Clone Wars stuff. Break open these three decades between the OT and ST. Fill in some gaps about the rebuilding of the Republic, the Empire on the run, the emergence of the First Order, et al. The Mandalorian might fill in some of that, but given that he's meant to exist on the edges then I don't think it'll really tackle these bigger developments much if at all.

Haha, I read that as a Sheev/Lando show. I'm imagining a sitcom.
Sheev: How to do like my cape?
Lando: You changed it :(
Vader: Pray he doesn't change it further.
It's crazy that it was announced so early.
Do they even have scripts done yet?
I've no clue what you are talking about. RO trailer is heavy on exposition, tells you very clear outline of the story:
Empire reigns. Made a secret weapon. Good guys have a chance to destroy it. Gather a team. Very clear. What's TROS about again, aside destiny whatever that means?
They use 2 types of marketing, some less some more revealing. I just think that TROS would be more effective with more revealing. The rumored opening for the trailer that didn't open the trailer (even though the scene is in the movie) would have blown minds and actually establish a hook.
What does revealing anything in the TROS trailer give you? Fucking everybody is going to see it regardless.
I dunno. There is a Showrunner. I'm sure we get Mando s2 before Cassian.
They did but Lucasfilm apparently didn't like them, so Tony Gilroy was brought in to retool the show.
Gilroy is apparently the only man in Hollywood who can crack Cassian Andor lol
Cassian series wasn't meant to drop until 2021 anyway. But it's likely we'll get Obi-Wan (which has scripts done and shooting dates in place) before it now too.
Dude is 100% pushing for a Cassian and Jabba sex scene. His agent is saying if Luna isn't in the bikini for at least 3 full episodes that he's out.
What is up with the weird obsessive criticism of Finn screaming REY? Does it really bother people that much lol.
Loved it in the trailer, was a nice callback to TFA too.
Like, yeah, the trailers for the last Skywalker episode are going to be purposefully vague. What were you expecting?

One of my favorite moments out of the ST.
These moments were kind of absent in TLJ, comparatively.
Some people say Luke's shoulder brush in TLJ is silly, but Rey's hand-to-face gesture here is just as silly IMO. But both are great.This one for me. So much character in this one scene:
The characters just felt so much more lively and natural in their interactions. TLJ felt a little too.. disconnected and sometimes forced in this regard.This one for me. So much character in this one scene:
JJ/Kasdan really, really nailed that special charm and chemistry, reminiscent of the OT.
Does The Mandalorian debut with two new episodes next week or one? Google is not helping me with this. Thanks.
Shit, I may wait until Saturday then and watch both, since D+ isn't available in the UK, unless episode 2 is "available" Friday.
As someone who has also read the spoilers, I can tell you are indeed inferring and analyzing the trailer from that point of view. You are projecting what you think should be the focus of the trailer and not actually analyzing it from the point of view of someone who knows nothing of the movie.
Indeed, the trailer doesn't give much plot away. None, beside Palpatine returning and Rey having to go up against him, while also the main characters are coming together (a theme emphasized by Palpatine's voiceover) after being separated in TLJ. It also aludes to a final confrontation between the good guys and the bad.
That's all it really needs to be. And that little obsession with Finn's "Reey" scream is starting to be hilarious. In this trailer, we don't really know why Finn is screaming that, at all. You just think it's useless because you've bought into the idea of the Rey Mary Sue.
Honestly, your entire "analysis" is dripping with contempt and biases.
