Looks like it could be good. I'm still not convinced. But I'm not pessimistic either.
I think that most people who are flipping their lids over it were already excited before seeing it.
It didn't change my neutral opinion.
I'll just wait for the theaters to not be a clusterfuck.
I was able to get tickets for opening day. :D

I don't do the midnight showings or any of that shit because I am just not that organized. People have to be off of work, the weather has to be nice, I have to be awake... so the stars will align before I see it. Still, it's fucking Star Wars, so I'm sure I'll get to it in the first week or two, assuming Christmas doesn't derail things.
This is going to be epic!
Btw... I have a crazy theory about the bad guy. It might be spoilery if it happens to be true so I'll put it in a hider, just in case."I will finish what he started" *Queue Vader's mask*
This got me thinking... Where's Luke? Like, we see him once in the trailer where he looks down, kinda depressed and only his mechanical arm showing. However, we see Han Solo a lot in the trailers. And when we look at the poster, guess who's missing?
Indeed, I dont see a Mark Hamill in there either, yet we still see Leia and Han.
So here's a crazy theory of mine. That masked guy, the bad guy with his broadsword lightsaber... I think that's Luke.
I ofcourse dont know if it's true or not. I just thought that both this scene from the new trailer, plus him lacking in the poster while Han and Leia are in there... That this theory might actually not be as far fetched as it might seem at first glance.
Please tell me what you think about this :)

Well, we see some dude with a robotic arm and a cloak patting a blue R2 unit. So yeah. I'm not convinced at all that Luke is the bad guy.
I AM, however, convinced that this movie will be totally awesome.
(Also, let's take a moment to recognize that the second black Jedi in the series is also the main character of a movie)

Yes, we do see Luke in that one shot. However, that could just be a flashback as to when he would turn to the Dark Side, as the scene does not really look that upbeat.
But as I said, it's just a theory.
What isnt a theory though is that the Mandalorians are definately going to play a role in this movie.
At ~1:38 you can see that fortress-like building with all the banners hanging up there. If you look straight above the door between the flags then you can see the symbol of the Mandalorians painted on the wall... And I dont think that's just a mere easter egg.

I heard something about a female villain, and considering how few women we see in the Imperial ranks, maybe she's Mandalorian?
