    Okay.
    What a day what a day.

    We should have two "trailers" today.
    One is really a "behind the scenes" and the other is a real trailer.



    The real trailer has not been released in America yet. We do have some floating still images from it, Disney is doing their best to take them down as quick as they can, but needless to say Vader is in them.
    I might be more excited for Rouge One than episode 8..... no, thats a lie, but R1 definitely continues to jerk my dick the right ways.

    The trailer was screened last night to an audience in a theater. There's a guy that recorded it on a hidden cellphone and posted it on twitter. It was blurry and shakey but is pretty bad ass!

    BTW - Rebels Season 3 trailer is off the hook! Can't wait for the new and final season to start!

    Yah, id like to post the trailer video but Disney is really on point with taking them down minutes after they are posted, so its rather pointless.

    Rebels is looking good. Reintroducing Thrawn is a big deal and IMO, he will be in ep. 8 played by Del Toro.


    Im sure it will be down in an hour.

    Here is the rebels trailer for anyone interested.
    Now, theres TONS of very interesting things that they are taking from the old EU here. The biggest being Thrawn, the second being the physical embodiment of the force that is the monster toward the end. I gotta say, i was originally pissed off that Disney erased the old EU, but after all of these novels and the movies and show, im impressed.

    Yah, WB and Fox need to take a field trip to Disney so they can watch how Marvel and LucasFilm are successfully making universes for the big screen.

    There is a lot of SW fanboy jerk material in the trailer.
    For non-fanboys it does a fantastic job of laying out the characters and situations. Hopefully, and i dont think we will see anything other than this, it will be a fantastic movie.
    Ive said it before and ill say it again, Disney bringing in the storygroup that consists of star wars fanboys and people super knowledgeable on SW (all people who dislike the PT and understood what made the original trilogy epic) with no concerns over attempting to market these movies to as many people as possible, is fucking genius and amazing. This is better than what GL set up for LucasFilm.

    I already have my tickets ready... now im just waiting for next week.

    George Lucas was shown a private screening of the movie and he actually said it was the best Star Wars he has seen, including the OT.
    So.. that sounds like nonsense to me and it sounds like he is simply trying to help sell a product. BUT, everyone who has seen it says that its on par with Empire and even better than TFA. Theyve also said that we will love what Vader does in it.

    My brother and I are gonna see it next weekend. I think it looks really good from the trailers, but I'm going in with low expectations. I didn't like TFA very much.

    So i just got home from the theaters and i have to say LF/Disney once again nailed it. In fact i will give them an ass ton of credit for throwing in a lot of old expanded universe stuff in this movie while twisting it into their own vision, Some how managing to keep it so it feels like the old SW movies, in hindsight its incredible how well it fits into the old trilogy.

    8.75/10 - There are only two or three bad things i have to say about this movie. The introduction of each characters was a bit quick paced and could have been done better, but given how long the movie is i can see why they were (most likely) cut down for time. The first third of the movie does not flow as well as it could, luckily because the characters are so good and different from what we've seen in SW movies and none of its done poorly so its not distracting nor does it take much away from the movie.

    I will say this though.
    If these things were solved and i actually think the second issue is due to time restraints that they mostly seemed to do in my first issue, this would be on par with Empire.... and while i think 8 will probably be the best of the new bunch, id actually put this above 7.


    Spoiler...
    P.S. the actor who played Leia.... wow. Looks just like Fisher in 77. Tarkin looks just like Tarkin did in 77. And that Vader scene... holy shit.

    One question...how was the story telling? Not the FX and not the performances...BUT the story telling. Curious...

    I edited a bit more in above.

    The story itself flowed really well. There was never any confusing parts or unanswered parts. It all streamed together very nicely and for 80-85% of the movie the pacing was perfect. They established a tone and stuck with it and all of this combined made it so everything came at a seemingly perfect time.

    Oh.. the soundtrack as well.... WOW.

    Like i said, the only thing involving storytelling, story, flow, pace, etc. that was off was the first little bit when they had to introduce all the characters. Luckily its in the beginning of the movie though, so by minute 25-30 youre immersed and losing track of time.

    I went in thinking it would be a 7 of 10 movie, I would give it a 7.5 becasue as a non-prequel SW its gets that extra .5.
    Turns out i was wrong, if that character intro was fixed, this legitimately be a 9.5 of 10 movie.

    I'm hoping that this installment has the captivating appeal of the first 3. *fingers are crossed*
