    Wonder if Luke turns dark.

    There were hints of that in Jedi, with him entering Jabba's Lair like a Sith and nearly murdering his dad in fury. You figure this movie's gonna be about him trying to find balance between the Dark and Light sides.

    That's the one thing that interests me about this franchise going forward, is how they approach the "light side" of the Force. I think Star Wars: The Four Jamaicans is the first time "light side" is ever explicitly called that in the main saga. Really dug the idea of Kylo getting tempted by the light side.

    Ah. Nice to see how they basically are carbon copies of each other. Obviously the first teaser for Awakens works better because it's brand spanking new, whereas Last Jedi is the third Star Wars movie in as many years.

    With that, I forget that the second trailer is the one that really got me excited for Force Awakens, so that's comforting.

    I really hope that they use Luke differently. But wouldn't it have been known to Leia/Han that he had turned dark? The idea that he can't train a Jedi properly without them going dark is a neat conflict.

    To be fair also, the first Force Awakens footage teaser was nothing like this teaser.

    Very true; the second teaser for TFA is the same style, but the first one (apart from the landscape-BOO! moment) is its own trailer boy.

    Oh God, Gleason's back? For some reason, I was happily believing that he had died at some point in the last one. He was terrible.

    Let's not forget that Force Awakens was an ill conceived movie.

    Gleason was awful. I thought he had died on the Starkiller too.

    Wow, the Sons of Jacob took over the SW universe too?

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I just saw this- and almost cried. Considering we just had this conversation, figured I'd share.

    The Empire has downgraded their weapon plans from Starkiller Base to...

    I suppose it's not technically confirmed, but... I just.... cant.

    I highly doubt that's anything but background toy art. I don't know much, but I have a lot of faith that if there was someone out there who wouldn't fuck up a Star Wars movie, his name would be Rian Johnson. Not that that would be a dealbreaker for me, I just think its less creative than he's capable.

    Some very suggestive stuff in this about what could happen. Exciting trailer, I thought.
