****Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker - Official Thread****

[Moothead2]

Props to JJ, I'm actually intrigued with the direction of this film after the *********** that was TLJ.

 

[Malevolence]

"Nobody is ever really gone." Palpatine laughs.

Oooohhhhh!

 

[Spit]

The emperors laugh has me interested again!!

 

[Steampunk]

JJ shows that hack Johnson how it's done.

 

[Mark1989]

Teaser trailer was enough I'm sold cinema I shall go!

 

[Spit]

Interesting his laugh is on the first teaser, they know they needed something to hook us back in.

 

[Nitefly]

I thought I was out. But... they drew me back in.

Says everyone who poo pooed the last film

Looks fun!

Just wished they had let JJ direct all 3. In heinsight it would have made more sense. Not saying I am a JJ fan but for creative control

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

I certainly feel teased.

 

[doodah]

Damn you Star Wars, I was trying to be all cold and nonchalant. That definitely got me interested....

There was a Kasdan script for Ep 7, but Johnson threw it away. Another director could have done Ep 7 if he had used the over all story arc instead of binning it because of ego like Johnson did.

God how have they made Star Wars look so naff, when Disney have anything Marvel looking so good?!

 

[Meddling-Monk]

Here's the thing... I've been turned off Star Wars since episode VIII. And this teaser wasn't enough to lure me back in. Hearing the Emperors Laugh was just... REALLY? You're gonna bring that old hack back?

Now, make no mistake, unlike Episode VIII, there is enough intrigue, possibly about Rey being "linked" to the Skywalkers lineage via the Force, and not by Blood, that I'm prepared to hit the Cinema if I hear good news from sources I trust (family and friends). Otherwise, it's a Blu-Ray/DVD option only for me right now.

Yeah I am hoping the guys from game of thrones do a better job having a full thilogy to play with.

 

[Glanza]

Excited looks like it should hopefully redeem the last one.

 

[Begbie]

Emperor and Lando. Great.

Not sure I care.

 

[Gerard]

The Rise of Skywalker. Sponsored by Viagra, ideal to stiffen your blade when the force just won't do it.

Agree wholeheartedly.
Hasn't got me convinced yet, however.

 

[XPE]

Rise of Skywalker, feels like there is a word missing from that title.

What looks so naff ? It's a teaser trailer?
