This poster has been 'leaked' online, could it be real? I'm not convinced personally.

Spoiler: Possible Poster

When do you think we will see a trailer and what do you think the title could be?

Cp30 going full rambo..

Yes! Not sure about that, though when the promo stuff for TFA was leaked and he had his red arm everyone claimed it was fake/photoshopped, so you never know!

deffo looks like a bowcaster with chewies ammo belt

I'd say that's exactly what it is.

There's a high res version of that poster that's been leaked now, see below.

People are saying its real, for product marketing, not the actual movie poster. Done by Brian Rood apparently.

Do we think we'll see a trailer and/or a title reveal on Friday then? The times are central by the way, so its 17:00 - 18:00 our time.

I did wonder that too, if they did wait until then I would totally understand. Let the Endgame hype die down a little first. Everyone seems to be 'predicting' a trailer at celebration though. Based on nothing by the looks of it!

Surprised to see no one's posted the live stream...

The Rise Of Skywalker!

Death Star wreckage!

That laugh at the end! PALPATINE!

If only JJ had done all three, I honestly think it would have been an awesome trilogy.

 

[V_R]

It would appear so....

 

[V_R]

Just for those that haven't/didn't see it. Here's the moment Ian McDiarmid comes on stage after the trailer played at celebration and said 'Roll it again' in his best Palpatine voice.

(skip to 1:25:00 if it just plays from the start.

Actually agree with this, it was a good film despite the backlash, it 'felt' like Starwars even if it didnt have a lightsaber in sight. Also Rogue One to me is still the best of the new bunch, leagues ahead of ANH 2.0 and TLJ.

+1.

I agree.

New trailer will be shown tomorrow during Monday Night Football in the states.

That looks like it should be good. 3PO is about to sacrifice himself?

Or just use a local noop.
