First trailer dropped during the Olympics:

How epic is this?

Looks great!   I think it's going to be a success.   Lucasfilm and Disney take a lot of care to get these movies right.

Beam me up, Scotty!  I am ready for this movie.

Oops, wrong sci-fi movie.

Yeah, it looks great.  Looks a littler bit darker than typical star wars movies.  More in line with the Empire Strikes Back (which is my favorite of the trilogy).

I could have sworn I saw a trailer in front of the latest Star Trek movie.

December, eh?  Are they planning to release a new Star Wars every year around the holidays, like some sort of Star Wars special holiday? ;-)

They plan to release a movie every year.   I think EP 7 was done last Christmas so that there would be nothing to stop it for a long time at the box office.  Ep 8 was supposed to be May of 2017, but they pushed it back to Christmas 2017, and Rogue One is coming this Dec.  I think that they are trying not to have movies release too quickly on top of each other.  Every December is a year, but originally it was going to be 6 months.

Personally I don't want to see the Episode movies too close together.   I like the three year wait, makes it more of an event.

Be very, very careful about mentioning the Star Wars holiday special.  If he notices, George Lucas will personally hunt you down with the only real world lightsaber in existence.

I wasn't either, but then I learned the director of Monsters and Godzilla, which I really loved, though not popular, is directing this.

The director has a great penchant for conveying scale, doesn't he? New trailer.

I said that once, but then I got force choked. Darth Vader does not appreciate sarcasm.

I can't get excited about the spin offs/side story Star Wars movies. Neither this nor the Han Solo movies really have caught my interest strangely enough.

Obviously the big hurdle they have is that we already know what's going to happen but done right is does give the opportunity to tell interesting stories and expand the universe.

I like the darker overtones, but it's Disney, so you know it's going to get lightened up significantly for BO purposes but still looks to be quite the visual feast, love the swamp forest verdant backdrops and the  cast.

This looks a lot better than the Force Awakens.  It has more of a firm noir feel to it.  Sort of like Empire Strikes Back, which by the way is my favorite of the trilogy.

I can't wait to see it.

New international trailer. This is a gorgeously shot movie. Some scenes look like a super duper UHD vacation commercial, except with like people getting shot and killed.:unsure:

Getting good reviews mostly, but some very mixed ones from reviewers I follow. Something about bad CGI. At this time last year, movie fans were going batsh** over The Force Awakens.
