The first line of Episode 9 is probably, "This will begin to set things right."

And I would be equally shocked if this actually happens. I'd be willing to bet just about anything that we're not getting an Episode IX trailer this year. If fact, I'd put quite a bit down on a parlay of this exact sequence of events...

- Title announcement in January.

- Teaser trailer debut at Star Wars Celebration (and simultaneously online) the morning of Thursday, April 11, 2019.

- Like Infinity War, A4 moves up a week to Friday, April 26, and we get the theatrical debut of the teaser trailer the night of Thursday, April 25.

Just to add a little bit to what you're saying. We should be getting info soon on the opening dates for Galaxy's Edge (Star Wars Land) for Disneyland and DWorld. Those dates have to come out soon because of the lead time needed to plan a Disney vacation to Florida or California. Best info I've seen says late summer for DL, and late fall for DW.

It would not surprise me that once those dates hit the public, there will be a constant drip of SW announcements happening soon thereafter (TV streaming series, books, movie clips, Celebration PR, etc.) to gen up interest for the parks.

We're planning a Disney trip to California for the summer and we have been waiting to book the trip based on the park opening date. I'm really hoping a formal opening date comes out at the beginning of the year because I need to schedule the trip as early as possible.

Good point, and all the more reason to hold off on any Star Wars marketing for the rest of the year. After the poorly received Last Jedi, and Solo bombing theatrically, it makes sense to take a nice, 7-8 month break, let everyone recharge their Star Wars batteries, and them, boom, from January 2019 on, it sounds like there will be a steady drip of Star Wars news/content/teases for the first half of the year... an Episode IX title announcement, Galaxy's Edge dates, Celebration, the Episode IX teaser trailer, The Mandalorian teaser trailer, etc. And the second half of the year will of course then bring the opening of Galaxy's Edge itself, Disney+ and Episode IX, along with whatever books and everything else you touched on. 2019 is going to be jam packed, and there's just no need to start any kind of a marketing push on any of it in 2018.

Wait he was in that

That's the guy that was in the usual suspects that questioned the Hungarian dude at the hospital, right?

Ya he was Gus the chicken guy.

You sure about that? I don't remember him in a wheelchair

Never said he was in a wheel chair. He was killed by a guy in the wheelchair bomb though

Ah gotcha

All a good theory. Add to it the other variable that the entry point to the appropriate hyperlane was already calculated and entered into the navicomputer by Poe during his mutiny. As the ships continued to move through space, the Raddus's angle of approach changed such that the FO fleet was between it and the hyperspace lane.

That's from the novelization.

Ok, whatever. Comics have never played by the rules.

I've probably mentioned this before, but a year out from Ep IX it's worth mentioning again. Phil Szostak is a great follow on Twitter. He posts all kinds of great concept art and stuff dug up from the archives.
