This is good. I'm looking forward to them ramping up the promotional and hype machine as we get closer to December. I hope they don't go cheap on marketing because I think they'll need to gin up a bit more excitement for this one than what was needed for TFA, for obvious reasons.

kind of don't understand the bladed weapons... most thugs\rebels have blasters and I doubt these red guys can block blaster bolts with those things since they're not Jedi.

Look at the red glare off the bottom of the blade... could be a mini light saber, or something similar to the dark sabers from the clone wars.

ok. How many Jedi do they need to defend against? before the force woke up, it was 0. Now it's 2 at best.

Look kinda like those droids that General Grievous had trained in the use of the Force and wielded rods similar to these with Force energy (?) spewing from the ends. Obi-Wan went through them like a hot knife through butter.

Reading the bit on Rey and Luke gets me pretty damn excited for this movie. There is a lot of potential with this one.

The walking fish alien creatures might actually be worse.

Dude. Droids can't be taught to use the force. Grievous couldn't use the force.

So, the Praetorean Guard... human? Or alien?

I'm sure he was just trained to use a lightsaber, but Grievous does say:

You Fool. I have been trained in your Jedi Arts... by Count Dooku.

Probably just fighting styles, etc. I am 99.99% sure he was not force sensitive.

I agree. If there is some canon material stating that he is, I'm even more pissed at Lucas.

The Legends material was specific that he was not Force sensitive and aside from a reference here or there, he hasn't been expanded in the new canon.

Trained in the Jedi arts, then. That better?

What is everyone's thoughts on the Porgs? Ewoks 2.0 or do you trust Rian Johnson?

In my opinion, the Ewoks themselves weren't the problem in RotJ. It was using them as a central part of the move to defeat Stormtroopers with rocks and sticks that was so bad. I'm not against introducing "cute" side characters (i.e. R2D2 or BB8) as comedic relief and to lighten up the movies.

Grievous wasn't a droid.

Porgs, I hope, are going to be domesticated animals that are trainable as pets. Smart enough to learn where not to poop, to go fetch things, push a button if needed (like dogs).

Caretakers seems like they will be intelligent (they are wearing clothing, so they can craft and use tools) but probably have not achieved extra-planetary travel on their own?

Grievous was a cyborg, not a droid.

And cyborgs can use the force, like that one guy from the original trilogy.

I never said Grievous was a droid. The first poster I replied to mentioned the droids he had with him. My reply was about those droids, and about him.

I also never said anything about cyborgs not being able to use the force. I said Grievous couldn't.

Sorry for the confusion, carry on.

Just happened to see this come across twitter - typically I don't see these until TCTTS posts them here. Thought I'd share. I guess we will get two more today.
