So it's likely we'll be getting the Episode IX teaser trailer today (and hopefully the title). The Star Wars panel is on at 5pm UK time so reckon it'll be all over the internet by this evening
Whats peoples thoughts/expectations/hopes/fears? I reckon JJ Abrams will bail it out again, and make a cracking film. I loved Force Awakens and enjoyed some of Last Jedi, although both films felt somewhat disconnected on retrospect.

Killing Han Solo in Episode VII was a mistake. Yeah his death was a proper surprise, in a good way, but I reckon it should have occured later in the sequel trilogy

I know it massively influential and privately owns pop-culture and all that, but hardly anyone in those films can act and the dialogue is shocking and I want to punch that gold robot in the fucking face. And the new films are boring as fuck, too.

Plus I'd have a million more Star Wars films than any more stupid Marvel films, which is all the world seems to be punished with lately

Well, the MCU ones, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse was class. Obviously just my opinion, I know loads of people adore Star Wars.

As ruler of the world my first decision would be to make it illegal for adults to be overly exited about films made for children.

And the new films are boring as fuck, too. you arent entirely wrong. the prequels are awful and i agree that the acting in the old ones isnt very good(which i only noticed when i saw the english version for the first time instead of the brilliant german dub) anyway. you should get banned. now.

Fuuuuck. Palpatine returns. Quite frankly, the whole theory about Snoke being Palpatine was much better and I wished that had panned out.
I guess this is JJ making up for it? Or do you think it was the plan all along?
Shit, maybe I'm leaping to too many conclusions. I guess we don't technically know if Palpatine is actually back or just going to be some dark side equivalent force ghost cameo or something. A fan can hope.
Don't fuck this up again though Disney. Third times a charm?

Killing Han Solo in Episode VII was a mistake. Harrison Ford asked to be killed off.

I was curious about what they'd do tactically, to move from a Rian'd story to a JJ'd story. I wasn't sure how subtle they'd be about it, or if they'd have to abandon what they wanted entirely but this is like JJ went "strap in boys, we got some 180s to do!"
JJ: "This lightsaber is really important!" Rian: "Lightsabers are stupid and unimportant!" JJ: "Check out her lightsaber! Isn't it cool! Could be important!"
JJ: "Rey's past...?! Maybe important?! Mystery?!" Rian: "The jedi are stupid, you're stupid" JJ: "All of jedi ancient history is your advantage"
Rian: "Luke is dead." JJ: "No one's reeeaaaally dead"
JJ: "Helmet on!" Rian: "Helmet off!" JJ: "Helmet on!"
Rian: "The Last Jedi!" JJ: "...The Rise of Skywalker"
And in classic JJ fashion - "also, that thing you liked from ages ago? He's back."
I stole this from reddit. Sums it up pretty accurately

I hope Luke shows up not dead. Maybe the previous episode was a dream?

I hope Luke shows up not dead. Maybe the previous episode was a dream? At this point im totally fine with that. I cant believe they didnt outline the plot beforehand and just let JJ and RJ do whatever they wanted on a billion dollar franchise. RJ basically erased everything JJ has established and now JJ is doing the same thing. Two movies in and we dont even have a major plotline to follow so they just bring back palpatine to at least have a villan in the last one. Its a shitshow really. And i know people say it doesnt affect the OT but it does. Now Darth vaders sacrifies is worthless because palpatine seems to be still alive because why not? Fuck Disney. They ruined dumbo, they will ruin the lion Kong and star wars is dead. Good job

I disliked The Last Jedi and had kind of lost hope for IX, but this trailer has got me hyped! I just hope Palpatine doesn't really come back and the trailer is just misleading, because otherwise it kind of undermines Vader's story. Nah of course they bring him back otherwise it wouldnt male sense to include him in the trailer. He was at the star wars convention aswell so i highly doubt it

Yeah and han solo and leia broke up and they apparently raised a mass murderer which gives the whole love story from the OT a bad look. An i do like the trailer though, and i hope JJ brings this trilogy to an end where TLJ wasnt a complete waste of time.
