    This whole thing is playing in front of the joker and some other films in the US. Anyone seen it in cinemas here? Be cool to see it on a big screen.
    Went to see downton abbbey the other day. Naturally enough it wasn’t played before that

    The original teaser played before my Joker viewing. Typical Ireland.

    Oh really? Well at least you got that. No desire at all to see joker. I’ll pass so.
    Thank you

    They should have put trilogy 2 in the start of that. Cronologically it's incorrect. //nerdmode

    Breakdown of that empire article on the rise of skywalker.

    No spoilers but Warning. You thought Rey was super powered ‘Mary sue’ before, you’re in for whole new treat :)

    https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2019/10/rise-skywalker-abrams-terrio-empire.html


    The heart of it. we can solve this riddle ... it’s JJ in empire. So obviously no spoilers.

    ‘“Some people feel like we shouldn’t revisit the idea of Palpatine, and I completely understand that. But if you’re looking at these nine films as one story, I don’t know many books where the last few chapters have nothing to do with those that came before. If you look at the first eight films, all of the set-ups of what we’re doing in IX are there in plain view.”


    “For Abrams, bringing the saga to a close has been a unique challenge. “I’ve always loved the start of something,” he told Empire, “because of what it promises. Endings are hard. A great ending not only needs to honor everything that’s come before but, whether it’s a novel, a series or a film, you want to have it feel like it could end no other way.”

    For me, Return of the Jedi had such an ending, a feeling that only increased with the release of the prequel trilogy, so I truly hope that The Rise of Skywalker can match the same intense emotion and feeling of satisfaction when the credits roll.

    “This story is alive, and you just have to listen to it,” is the only was Abrams could describe it to Empire

    So according to the official Twitter, there's a new / final trailer due to drop during US football on Monday, with the internet quick to follow presumably.

    From past experience this tends to be at all hours of the morning .. the football that is.. with the trailer being at half time.. and half time in American Football can sometimes take ages to get to.

    There's no testing with these films. Early screenings would be limited to very small groups of people known to the studio/filmmakers. I'm sure there was lots of little reshoots, just as there was with TLJ and that Abrams is probably dithering about stuff, but I would assume that regardless of rumours. If there was major reshoots it would all over the trades.

    when did they stop test screenings or are you referring to Star Wars films in particular?

    Star Wars due to secrecy.

    It's only a little thing, but nice to see Carrie Fisher get top billing on the poster. A classy little touch.

    Watched 59 seconds and no more. I#m already seeing the movie so no need to see anymore.

    Warning for anyone that hasn't seen it... it shows off some nice location shots and certain elements. No need to watch if you're already sold.

    Ah, wouldn't quite go that far. I think everything Disney has pumped out so far, with the exception of The Last Jedi, has been pretty solid. Although, I have read a leak of the movie's story, and nothing in the trailer contradicts or refutes anything that was in it, but I felt a little underwhelmed by the outcome. In saying that, the visuals I had in my head while reading it, of what we hadn't seen in previous trailers, were nothing like what was in this trailer. It looks great. I have a bit more optimism after seeing it.

    The C3PO line was pure cringe , when was he friends with these people? Im sure he was thinking of Han and Luke. I cant see them hitting it out of the park with this one, they would need 2 movies, one to undo the damage of the last one and then a final movie. As it is it will probably be compared to the finale of Game of Thrones :pac:

    Looks about as grandiose as I thought Abrams would make it; I see he's also reusing some visual set-pieces from his Trek films too, truly the snake is eating itself.

    I'm being honest here, I'll probably check it out; last part of the original story, and myself & the wife get 2 for €10 on weekdays so I won't pretend I won't go.

    What I'm seeing isn't that great; just noisy clutter. But it's Disney Star Wars so ... 🤷

    hmmm just realised, if Anakin was forseseen to have destroyed Palpatine, won't he have to come back as some force ghost and finish the job ?

    Was the prophecy wrong or what ? I can't believe I'm asking this ...

    As someone largely hostile towards the blockbuster scene these days and unmoved by the prospect of more SW in the future (unless RJ’s new trilogy goes ahead), I still have an inescapable, childlike excitement for this film despite being fairly uninterested in where the story goes (mostly because I think TLJ goes for broke and is a wonderful, satisfying story on its own terms). There’s something about the prospect of the lights going down, the fanfare starting up and one more film with these characters - forgetting for a moment that Disney will absolutely make a sequel in the future :p - that’s got me excited despite my rational side being correctly cautious.

    The Force Awakens doesn’t hold up to the same scrutiny as its sequel, but Abrams and co have a knack for traditional, big screen spectacle - and the trailer shows that in abundance. Here’s hoping that, if nothing else, it’ll be a fun, stirring late night trip to the cinema on 18th/19th December. In spite of myself, I’m looking forward to it :)
