Higher bitrate made it easier to pull out details.
(Is that something peeking out under the clouds in the bottom right? Water?)
The black and red are First Order trademark colors at this point, so that fleet isn't entirely imperial. But its also extremely Sith, so I'm still going with some sort of Star Forge reintroduction.
Rey is looking gooooooooood. have we seen that ring before?
I have a funny feeling that ring is the ring Rose gave to the Force sensitive kid at the emd of TLJ. What I mean is this is definitely a Force Vision showing Rey going full Anakin and killing off any potential Jedis, and the kid was likely one of her first victims.
it will be interesting to see how TLJ's reputation evolves over time
feels like it could age really well or age like milk
if this movie is shit, I think people might end up appreciating TLJ more
I feel TLJ is fine, but at the same time I also feel it could have worked better as an episode IX affair, with a Time skip into a second trilogy or at least a final pair of movies. Like there should have been a second film before the events took place and then have the conclusion, as it is the plot jumped forward with no real build up and now we have even more plot that assumingly somehow ends up making it work as an act 2 film despite doing stuff like killing off Snoke. If RoS does manage to do that and in a respectable manner, fuck it I'll give the movie the credit it deserves. That Krait Siege will always remain one of my favorite sequences of the last decade.
they dont need to spend much time,
remember that in the beginning of TLJ, the opening crawl says that the First Order started their conquest of the Galaxy, the Knights of Ren could have been the ones in charge of that.
and it can be implemented into episode 9 without much issue
I dunno what the new EU has said about the Knights, but I personally hold the belief that they are MUCH older than the new Republic and are not just a bunch of Force Sensitive assholes who follow Kylo around all day. If Snoke was just a puppetmaster working an Agenda for the Supreme Puppetmaster that is Darth Sidious, I do feel the Knights of Ren and Ben adopting the surname Ren have an ulterior purpose and meaning we do not know about yet.
I just hope that if they introduce the emperor on some level, they do it with tact. The entire original trilogy was about the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker, with that redemption culminating in him turning back to the light and killing his master to save his son. If they just go with, "ha, emperor - never died" it will retroactively damage that arc (for me).
However, I think they can do it in a way that acknowledges the Vader/Anakin sacrifice, I'm just not sure what it would be . . .
I think they won't back out on Sidious dying, cause Force Ghosts exist. I still don't buy force ghost possession, however I do think the idea of palpatine having some major fallback plans in case be died being a possibility. That is, while the Rule of Two does exist I am willing to believe that Snoke had a second apprentice that is strongly influenced by Palpatine's Force Ghost and has been working behind the scenes to clean things up if Snoke bit the dust.
The planet Rey is training on is Yavin 4 I think, where Leia also gets the medals in the other trailer.
Going back to the old Resistance Base would be amazing, not going to lie.
Thinking the fleet of destroyers is also part of a vision. I mean, look at how many there are. It doesn't even make sense.
Nah, unless the majority of the trailers darker scenes are visions as well. Those new destroyets have massive cannons on them and we see one of them firing off and destroying the ground, so its likely to be one of the major battles in the movie.
I feel like the cave scene in The Last Jedi needs to have some meaning. "She fell into a cave and saw some trippy shit but it never really tied into the overall plot" isn't good storytelling, Rey being a clone would give that scene foreshadowing.
She saw her parents and understood that she has her own path to forge, as we understand in the conversation with Kylo as he tells her she ks a nobody. That cave was being fed by the Dark Side and we know that Ren and Snoke had a constant connection to her psyche thanks to that, which is how he knew that his parents were nobodies.
In this movie we will learn that Sheev Palpatine was a clone and the one true Shev to rule them all will return and claim his rightful place as ruler of the galaxy with a new clone army of dark reys at his disposal.
Snoke is actually the original Shev who was fed up with the fact that Sheev failed and sakd fuck it I'll do it myself.
