Chewie allowed them to get around the Death Star with the prisoner routine. Show some respect.

Just FYI, it sounds like the new trailer will be Olympics/online only. It's apparently not playing in theaters.

Have to say, this is an unexpected direction they're going in, but something I'm definitely on board with. I figured this movie would be fully separate from the mythology of the Force, the Jedi, etc. But this sounds really interesting.
One small issue for me is that the Force and the Jedi/Sith are basically myth by the time of ANH, so it's interesting that there's an entire planet that is a mecca for believers in the Force.
That said, having a kyber crystal powering the Death Star sounds awesome. Never would have thought of that.
Interesting question to me is, if there's a whole planet of believers, I wonder if other religions/cults have formed around it apart from the Jedi and Sith. Could they be setting up new groups for Ep 8 and 9? Maybe this world will be the birthplace of the Knights of Ren?

This was one of my problems with the prequels.
The empire just wasn't around long enough. I would have preferred the old republic being 1000's years ago with a long slow decent under the rule of the emperor. I mean 100s of years of rule by the emperor.
The Jedi just weren't dead long enough to have been forgotten or relegated to "magic" or legends
quote:Interestingly, in one of the old EU novels (Heir to the Empire) Luke is recognized by some locals as a Jedi and is tasked to settle some dispute, the way the Jedi used to. So I would suggest it was less that the Jedi were forgotten, and more that the Jedi were thought to be gone for good.quote:

quote:2 things:
I get that the short time line was canon. I just think it would have made for a better villian and therefore a better story if the emperor had a much longer reign
quote:From the teaser, it looks like we'll get a much better look at the U-Wing. I bet we get a decent look at one of the Imp ships as well, either the new TIE Striker or the black Darktrooper Lambda-style ship.
Anyone think we get a different one than the one shown at celebration?
quote:Yes, the new Marvel comics are canon.
On another topic, I started reading the new comics to my 5 year old (thanks Marvel unlimited! )
These are cannon right? Lots of Vader, Luke, Han etc The next one even seems to be all about Old Ben....
It's cool so far, and I do love more details about the central characters, but some times this galaxy far far away seems very small (my same issue with the anthology films really)
