This has to be the most underwhelming Star Wars trailer ever. Literally 2 minutes of "it's fucking nothing". Wonderful.
"The Rise of Skywalker" is a bullshit name. I don't even like The Last Jedi, but I loved the audacity of its ideas, it was the execution I took issue with. Now they are throwing, apparently, the only good thing about that movie out. Fantastic.
Palpatine laugh got me intrigued somewhat, for what it's worth. But overall, the issue is that that Star Wars has defined itself with respect to nostalgia ever sicne Disney bought them- either entirely for (TFA), or against (TLJ), and this trailer does the exact same thing. It has no effect on me anymore.

In his defence, Palpatine is deeply connected to the Skywalkers. I guess if this is the farewell tour for the Skywalker bloodline, having him involved somehow makes sense.
I doubt he's coming back to life or anything like that, but it's entirely possible Snoke was a failed clone of Palpatine and there are more out there hidden away in the Unknown Regions.
If they spend screen time explaining power levels and midiclorians and shit, I'm gonna laugh out loud in the theater.
They should have just used George's ideas in the first place...he was never a bad director or storyteller he just had waaay to much freedom and no one to call him out on legitimately dumn ideas with the prequels whereas he was constrained by technology in the OT and also mentors who could tell him NO.
Anyways it seems like TLJ was more or less in tune with his concepts and some of the stuff in this trailer is too apparently.
I really think people should be wary with that "retcon TLJ" stuff until you've seen the movie and it really IS a retcon.
Rey taking the Skywalker name, or using it as a title for a new balanced force user is IMO more likely than her being a blood-related Skywalker.

Just like the prequels killed Star Wars, right? Don`t mix up the whole fan base with some ever-salty manchildren that only watch their original VHS tapes of unaltered Original Trilogy and hate on everything that deviates from that.
.
They're about to retcon the fuck out of Rey, aren't they? Gotdammit.
It rules that it seems like the prevailing thought on TLJ was that it was like a mgs2 tier swerve and not just a slapshod hail Mary to spice something up without any real plan and with the follow up being made by the king of safe and comfortable
What a series
What a series
think all the people saying that Rey dissolves the Jedi and starts a new order called the Skywalkers to honor the legacy of Luke/Leia are right on the money. in which case, just going with "Rise of the Skywalkers" would've been a better sounding name but ah well
anyway I'm just here to see my favs Rey, Finn, and Poe do their thing. love that they're going on a big adventure together

Looks pretty but I'm going to leave the hype train in the station for now. After all ...

What I want to know is was this what TPM got back when the title was announced? I wasn't on the internet in 1998 or whenever they revealed that.

Sorry, but it's literally the one shelf surrounded by the tree.
Though I realise that's getting pedantic about the matter when yes, the core of that scene is about the need for Luke specifically to let go. Because this is not his story anymore, and he needs to stop clinging to the idea that the fate of the galaxy rests with him and him alone (among other things).
Though that does beg the question of who the Skywalker in the title is. Ren redemption arc? Honorary title for Rey? Secret clone? All of the above?
Kylo already regressed after killing Snoke and then tried to kill Luke.
You do not know anything about this movie. The Last Jedi teaser trailer didn't accurately represent the tone of the movie either. It's a teaser.
So I'm guessing Papa Palpatine figured out how to reincarnate himself, and that was Snoke. Which is actually pretty cool. Guessing he comes back again in a better reincarnation of himself. Kylo turns back and helps Rey defeat him permanently somehow.
So basically Palpatine created the Skywalker lineage that would ultimately end up defeating him, which really is the Sith way but the apprentice this time turns his back on the dark side instead of embracing it.

Kylo is the Skywalker. He will kill Palpatine (lol) for good
Or
Kylo and Rey make babies, and some kind of timeloop happens where Rey/Kylo get sent back in time with the babies and thus is the first "Skywalker". Then 1000 generations of inbred skywalkers happens which is why the jedi order is so fucked up.
It writes itself.

Ok, she got all the books. Still doesn't really negate my point about one of the themes of The Last Jedi. The Jedi themselves don't matter, just the Force. That's what Luke passed down to Rey.No it wasn't.
People really don't remember the events of the last jedi. :|
Oh god, I just had a little theory that popped up in my head.
What if 'Skywalker' is actually going to replace the moniker of 'Jedi', hence Rise of Skywalker?

Love that there are so many people panicking to find things to hate on, like trying to let go and be excited for something for even a moment is way too vulnerable of a feeling, "I CANNOT like a Star Wars thing! How dare the!".
Trailer made me hyped, not going to be able to handle the Carrie Fisher scenes.

What do you want it to retcon? Like Snoke was a body double, Rey is a daugter of a chosen one after all, Luke dying was just an illusion within an illusion? Wouldn't that just be as sad as Kylo Ren fixing his mask and it looking pathectic, even if you didn't like TLJ surely it'd be better to just move on, build on what they have and better spend the time resolving the current heroes' arcs, the retcons would just make the overall story look more hollow like Kylo's mask.
Luke is goku
sheev is freeza
Episodes VII and VIII were the "gohan goes to high school" arc

At first I was like, is he giving her a lift? But then it wouldn't make sense for her to take her lightsaber out.
Could be something like the Battlefront II campaign. Besides wasn't Pablo Hidalgo pretty adamant about him not coming back? I remember a thread on Twitter.
Either way can't wait to see what's gonna happen
