Star wars FEELS like trying too hard these days. This looks exactly like that 🤔

Find me an example or two of SW teasers/trailers using a borderline trap beat and off-the-wall character/situation/combat design.

If anything I wish SW did more stuff like this. Outside of certain shows/media it's mostly "look at this epic landscape and music" and "remember this thing". It's still very space opera outside of stuff like Mando.

Ehh just check the teaser/first trailer of Rise of the Skywalker ? The 'off-the-wall' design here is reminding me off Exogel/Mustafar shots. That's why it's such a convincing fake.

Obviously fake to me lol. Why is it an Imperial Stardestroyer and not a First Order Stardestroyer?

I mean that's majority of the Star Wars fandom before JJ was ever involved. Falling in love with random shit just cause it looks cool.

I would say the difference is that Abrams led people on purposefully with no intention of a payoff while something like Boba Fett was never held up to greater significance by the film itself.

Nope. It's the random slow mo and lightning and jumping from ship to ship in high speed and thumping music. This is not the normal vibe for Star Wars m8

It's fake but... why? Nobody cares about the Knight of Ren. Even the main characters of the sequel trilogy only encountered saw them once, in the distance.

Yes, let's give a show/movie to a group of characters who's biggest claim to fame is a LEGO Halloween special. Oh, and let's get a trailer ready before an Obi Wan or Andor one is out there.

It's definitely fake but I want it to be real just because I feel so burned by what the knights ended up being. Just give me anything that retroactively makes them cool somehow, LucasFilm!

I mean would a show about them really make them worse? Look at Bobba fett before the mandolorian not many people wanted a show about him but now look people are watching it lol

No way they're doing anything with these guys. They had every opportunity in RoS to make them look cool, and they jobbed them out like a bunch of absolute chumps.

This is the second painfully obvious fake "leak" cam video posted on Era. Why do people keep falling for this. I've seen enough "leaked" Spider-Man 3 trailers back in 2006.

It's probably fake, but I would watch it if real. I really want some lightsaber action. Jedi, Sith, The Force. All of that interests me the most in the Star Wars universe.

It's not the Knights of Ren's fault that the sequel trilogy wasted everything cool to come out of Episode 7.

If this was real, I would be disappointed if that narrator didn't narrate the whole series

Can't even Boba Fett it because they're unambiguously dead. What do I care who these idiots were.

Be like if Better Call Daul was a prequel to the lawyer who died on the toilet in Jurassic Park

My memories of the new trilogy are hazy at best, but can someone remind me where these idiots even showed up in the movies? I remember a single shot of them in a flashback at one point (Last Jedi I think) and then nothing.

A flashback where they stood around

The Rise of Skywalker where they were constantly posing on landscape shots until the last 30 minutes where Kylo Renn kills all of them.

They should've been the dudes he and Rey fought in Snokes throne room. At least losing to two force users would've been more dignified

Damn, I remember the posing but legit could not remember which movie it was from. And I don't think it actually occurred to me at the time while watching RoS that that was who Kylo was fighting.

But yeah, that could have made the throne room fight way more interesting.

I don't blame you for forgetting. They have almost 0 fanfare. They're just...there

Ignoring someone putting a Lord of the Rings character into star wars, super fake. That X-Wing alone is enough to give it away.

They should've been the main antagonists for the third movie.
