So Disney releases this teaser trailer over 6 months before the movie comes out, just before a competitor's biggest weekend of the year. Coincidence? Probably not.
That said, any thoughts on the trailer? The fanboy blog-o-sphere is blowing up over concern about the title. The Rise of Skywalker? What does that mean? Which Skywalker? Biggest fear - Abrams retcons Rey's backstory to make her someone's secret kid after all. Seemingly that would be enough to trigger a nerd Apocalypse.
What about Luke's voice-over and that line, no one is ever really gone....followed by a very familiar sounding maniacal cackle? Lando is back, Leia is obviously included, Luke with the Force Ghost narration - can anyone make a return?
Mostly I was ecstatic to have something else to think about this weekend other than the fat man's stupid TV series.
Much more interested in the return of GoT and even Endgame than Ep 9.
I might see it if the critics who panned tLJ will give it a pass. Not falling for the hype again.
As to the teaser itself, the opening somersault is stupid. Since you can do anything with CGI, the moment must be earned story-wise. And really Rey is a nothing character, she's got no personality.
