[The Gabe Blade]

A good read about foreshadowing that was probably missed in the prequels

Some of those seem really forced

Those are like Breaking Bad levels of reaching.

Well, it certainly looks amazing.

 

[Tawnos]

I wonder if all the talk about how "surprising" the story is explains why we haven't gotten another trailer.

I think this new poster is pretty blatant about the "surprise."

Rey gets eaten by a wolf.

Looks a lot better and more original than TFA, we dont get much sure but there was no shots of an ice planet for starters

So Phasma is going to be in it, but I still dont see how

You mean other than the speeder like craft flying over a white surface towards walkers from the first trailer?

Phasma is getting a comic to explain what happened.

Lots of very saturated red in both the behinds the scene video and poster.

I laughed.

With the disappointment from TFA and RO, a boring TLJ teaser, and the Han Solo fiasco, the hype is dead. Pressure is on Disney. The new footage looks good (except for cringy Carrie Fisher), but I'm not falling for it again.

Anything can happen, but I'm actually hyped about this one despite my disappointment in TFA. Huge part of it might be the lack of Abrams directing. I also hope they dial down Finn's wacky nature, but otherwise there's at least enough to build on the first film's story and make a memorable film.

As expected.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

I have no idea what to expect from this. It is Star Wars and has Mark Hamill in it so being a huge nerd I'm going to see it as soon as I can.

Yup. If there's one thing that turned me off about VII, it was Boyega's performance.

I actually don't blame Boyega all that much. He's a charismatic performer in my eyes, and I'd bet he played the character exactly how Abrams envisioned.

Did I mention I'm happy Abrams ain't directing anymore?

TFA and RO were definitely disappointments and the news coming out of the Han Solo movies isn't promising.

Audiences are giving Disney's version of Star Wars the benefit of the doubt, but if TLJ is another let down then these films will run out of gas quickly.

Disappointments according to what metric? Critical response? Fan response? Box office?

 

[kingsholygrail]

I doubt Disney thinks:
TFA Worldwide: $2,068,223,624
RO Worldwide: $1,056,057,273

...is disappointing.

 

[AlanHUK]

I think Disney are handling the franchise really well to be honest, I've enjoyed both films released so far. Rebels is an awesome TV show and the books and Comics have been great.

There's some stuff I'd like to see bought back into canon, and I think most of it will be eventually. Dave Filoni has been excellent with this kind of thing.

The company can't get enough. The concern is from the segments of audience that actually care about the films. Disney is trucking along with yet another calculated, corporatized, political, business model, cash cow franchise. Turning profound and beloved source material into another Marvel universe. That's disappointing.

TFA and RO, no matter your personal opinion of them, were massive successes by any and all standards. Financially, critically, and fan reception wise they have been wildly successful. Of course, there will be a subset of fans disappointed with the direction they take the franchise, but that was going to happen no matter what they did. The Star Wars fan base is notoriously fickle and whiny.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I have been more then fine with TFA and RO

I would say these films have restored some of the joy that I once found in Star Wars films as a kid, that joy was sucked out of me watching the mostly unwatchable prequels (ROTS only one that is watchable IMO)

Really don't understand the hate by some small (Very small) segment of Star Wars fans. I honestly doubt that anything can be done to make them happy and they will look for things to complain about no matter what

Frankly I would argue Disney acquiring franchise has saved it
