way OT this time of year: new The Last Jedi trailer
To briefly get our minds off the debacle that occurred two days ago.
To my fellow Star Wars geeks. It was recently announced that the new trailer drops tonight during the NFL game; however, Rian Johnson (its director) has stated that fans might want to stay away from this one, as it apparently contains a spoiler. To anyone who doesn't know, rarely do directors get involved with trailers. I think it's silly, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.

Neither link contains spoilers. The second one shows a tweet from Rian talking about the trailer.

Johnson directed the best episode of television ever produced. That would seem to be a pretty good choice to direct this movie.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:04 PM ^
Sorry, but no.
Don Barnhart, not Rian Johnson, directed the Miss Bayside episode of Saved by the Bell.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:09 PM ^
Sorry, but no.
Eric Radomski, not Don Barnhart or Rian Johnson, directed the "Almost Got 'im" episode of Batman the Animated Series.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:09 PM ^
wasn't even the best episode of Saved by the Bell. That would be the one where Jessie gets addicted to speed.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:37 PM ^
Jessie Spano on Speed > Jessie Spano as a showgirl.
October 9th, 2017 at 5:33 PM ^
You must have watched the "edited for network TV" version.
October 9th, 2017 at 5:11 PM ^
Well, lucky for you, that was also a Barnhart flick.
October 9th, 2017 at 8:58 PM ^
Pretty sure it was caffeine pills!!!
October 9th, 2017 at 9:36 PM ^
She's so excited! And she just can't hide it!!

Not to mention Looper. I liked Brick too.
October 9th, 2017 at 7:59 PM ^
What episode?
October 10th, 2017 at 12:08 AM ^
Breaking Bad: 5.14 Ozymandias (the second to last episode)
October 9th, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
Does the Last Jedi play Right Tackle?
October 9th, 2017 at 4:31 PM ^
Sparty sideline
October 9th, 2017 at 6:59 PM ^
think left for UCLA to build his coaching resume.
October 9th, 2017 at 9:36 PM ^
That ain't bad!

A new Star Wars movie?
If I wanted to get my hopes up only to be inevitably disappointed, I’d watch Michigan football.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:08 PM ^
You're afraid their mission is going to be to blow up a Death Star again?
October 9th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
I'm more afraid they'll need to escape a planet in the early going. Rey will then go train with a reclusive former Jedi master nobody really knows about, Rey will then find out she's related to somebody, and may end up with a robotic limb by the end of the movie
October 9th, 2017 at 10:19 PM ^
That seems familiar for some reason.
October 9th, 2017 at 9:37 PM ^
*A second Death Star...again.

Too many Death Stars. Somebody is going to have to be held accountable over at the Empire Defense Department.
October 9th, 2017 at 11:36 PM ^
There's got to be an actuary losing his job somewhere.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:05 PM ^
I knew it. The last Jedi is Jar Jar Binks.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:07 PM ^
But isn't it already confirmed that Binks is a sith lord?
October 9th, 2017 at 4:11 PM ^
Oh. That explains why I had pop and popcorn thrown at me when I dressed up as Jar Jar for the opening night of the Force Awakens.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
See I don’t understand why you bother including the spoiler. Even if you tell people to stay away, it’s Star Wars. People are going to watch it. Why ruin the surprise and take away some of the mystique of the movie?
It’s like putting a triple bacon cheeseburger in front of a fat kid, walking away and telling him not to eat it.
October 9th, 2017 at 6:38 PM ^
Blame Disney
October 9th, 2017 at 4:12 PM ^
I heard that Drevno and/or Pep Hamilton was responsible for the spoiler.
October 9th, 2017 at 4:19 PM ^
But can the last Jedi throw a good fade route?...asking for a friend!
October 9th, 2017 at 4:28 PM ^
I don't really understand why you'd include a big spoiler in the trailer and then tell people to stay away from the trailer. It's Star Wars. People are going to watch it no matter what you say. Why ruin the surprise and remove some of the mystique and mystery from the movie?
This is like putting a syringe in front of a heroin addict, walking away, and telling him not to inject himself with it. What do you honestly think he's going to do?
October 9th, 2017 at 4:29 PM ^
That's not 100% true. Johnson said that if you want to have completely virgin eyes to the movie not to watch it. He didn't say there was a massive spoiler in it. Of course there will be potential for spoilers, there's footage from the movie in the trailer.
October 9th, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
there's a LOT of virgin eyes amongst Star Wars fans.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:25 AM ^
It's really not that spoilery. There are a couple of shots of characters in a situation that could imply they were betraying their expected allegiances. They were not at all definitive and could just as easily be misdirection.
October 9th, 2017 at 5:26 PM ^
As a true Star Wars fan going back to seeing it in the theater in 1977, FORCE AWAKENS SUCKED! I don't have much hope for this one either.
October 9th, 2017 at 5:40 PM ^
Yea, I'll be interested to see if there is any variance in this trilogy or if we are going to get carbon copies of the story but with new characters. Doesn't look promising so far.
I personally liked Rogue One much more than TFA.
October 9th, 2017 at 9:19 PM ^
I thought The Force Awakens was okay. One thing I will say is that it at least felt like Star Wars, unlike the abominations that were the prequels.
I was disappointed in the derivative storyline that directly mirrored Episode IV. I really hope Episode VIII isn't some mirror image of Empire Strikes Back. If it is, then I'll lose any hope I had left that Disney will do anything interesting with Star Wars again.
October 9th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
+1. The Force Awakens was basically lifted from Star Wars. This series jumped the Ewok in Return of the Jedi and fell into should have been direct to DVD status thereafter.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:32 AM ^
The problem with all you "true" fans is you hold up the originals on a pedestal that no subsequent movies could ever live up to. The fact is the originals were every bit as flawed, with the same derivative plots and campy dialog. People enjoyed the shit out of them because they didn't have any expectations beyond being entertained by a feel good story and cutting edge special effects. It's only the decades of nostalgia that's built them up into the revered classics they're considered now.
October 10th, 2017 at 8:54 AM ^
Thank you. This is a brilliant response.
October 9th, 2017 at 5:36 PM ^
It's going to be another unoriginal Mary Sue Chronicle with a brooding, spoiled, only-child-gone-evil-but-maybe-not-really, and otherwise chock full of Disney feminism and uninteresting characters that the audience can never quite come to genuinely care about.
I don't know how many more of these I can take. KickAss 3 with lightsabers.
October 9th, 2017 at 6:18 PM ^
Well said, Mary Sue Chronicles should be the title.
Rogue One was pretty decent though.
October 9th, 2017 at 9:00 PM ^
The only character I actually cared about dying in that movie was K-2SO. The human characters invoked nothing. That's... not good storytelling.
Disney should do better. But they won't. They bought a cash cow and they're gonna milk it dry with the minimum effort required.
October 10th, 2017 at 2:09 AM ^
Um, Idk about you but this trailer even with the "spoilers" was pretty dope to me.
It seems like Disney is taking a chance by making Rey into the villain while redeeming Kylo.
That would be an interesting story arc for sure.
It also seems to be destroying the conventional movie wisdom of Sith being evil and Jedi good.
I'm liking the direction.
October 10th, 2017 at 8:56 AM ^
Making Rey a villain is not going to happen. Clearly she might be tempted by the dark side and Kylo will want to teach her, but there is no chance she will actually turn.
October 9th, 2017 at 6:20 PM ^
The spoiler is another Death Star!
October 9th, 2017 at 6:35 PM ^
They make movies, label then Star Wars. Idiots keep showing up.
