I still can’t get over jar jar binks in phantom menace.  Clone wars has grown on me but still not the best movie. Revenge of the sith is prob in the top three Star Wars movies I watch with the empire strikes back and return of the Jedi.  Looking back the prequels do feel more like a “Star Wars” movie though in comparison to the most recent 2 movies. 

That’s how I feel too for the most part. I do really like TFA, but loath TLJ. While I do see and acknowledge glaring issues with the prequels, I can still watch them and find enjoyment in them. I just can’t with TLJ. Easily the extreme bottom of my SW movie rankings. I don’t begrudge anyone’s personal tastes or preferences, though.

Anywho, I still love SW and hope for a good fun movie. I liked the teaser, something I did for TFA trailers and ironically didn’t for TLJ.

Are we talking trans-ANnie?

From a certain perspective.

In my universe there's only episodes IV and V.  They end with Luke hallucinating all the other episodes as he falls to his death from Cloud City.

As long as that's the last scene from TROS, I would be ok with it.  Preferably young Luke just as he splats....

The trailer ran during Avengers, and the acoustics certainly did wonders for the music. Not enough to turn my opinion, but... oh well. I guess now the only thing left to do is see the actual movie to get a full opinion.

I'm worried! I think the only way this could have been saved is if TLJ was Luke visiting an alternate dimension,to see if there was a way they could defeat the fist order. And him disappearing at the end was him returning to his reality. Now if the leaked script that surfaced recently is true. Than this will be the worst ending of any saga. It will be the opposite of avengers end game. But I'm hoping that they are pulling a (Blue harvest. horror beyond imagination) on us. If not, then I think I can rightfully say that "disney ruined my childhood."

No, your childhood still happened and it was grand.  Luke burned his father under a fireworks display for some rebel fighters and teddy bears and it was wonderful.  That still happened and it's got nothing to do with wasted potential forty years later.

I don't know about YOUR childhood but that did not happen in mine.  My childhood ended somewhere between the opening credits and that point...

[jammaker]

No that's true. Seeing the starwars trilogy as a pre teen in the 80's was literally out of this world, it was larger than life. And we were all the more enriched because of it. And nothing can take that away. Not even someone who tries to re- write the established universe or retroactively change things now. We had it good. It's just a pity in this SJ, pandering world, they took Luke's character and belittled and degraded it and disrespected it so much, that we all feel hurt. Luke the greatest Jedi of all kicked in the nuts and told to disappear. Don't worry we love and admire you Mark Hamill and know how much Luke Skywalker meant to you and all of us. We salute you.

I don't know which Luke you saw as a kid but the one I remember was a whiny little snot with daddy issues.

Yup, young Obi-Wan was a far better Jedi + he had the high ground.

That scene was edited and put out in the late 90's, that does not affect my memories from 1983.

He was kinda whiny in A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back but he'd started to grow out of it by Return of the Jedi.  

Him being a massive troll and f*cking off to the middle of nowhere just shows he was a better Jedi apprentice than Yoda thought, pulling classic Jedi Master "I f*cked up" moves like that.

I'd say he was at his worst in Jedi by trying to save his daddy.  Only plot protection saves his rear in that one.

And yeah, Luke really really really did learn quite well from both Yoda and Obi-Won.  With role models like that what would we expect him to do?

Nah, he wasn't really whiny... just really obnoxiously insistent.  The plot armor is something every force user gets, until they don't.  Y'know... destiny this, foreseen that, yadda yadda yadda.

He's really more Yoda's student than Obi-wan's... if he were following in Obi-wan's footsteps he'd have cut off three of Ben's limbs, set his ass on fire, and left him to live the rest of his life as a 7'2" asthmatic chunk of burnt, leathery bacon in a robotic gimp suit.

Anakin clone (look at the scene in TFA, when she first picks up Anakin's lightsaber).

I could live with that. And even like it! In a way, we would be getting back the original Luke-character as was intended in the first treatment of ANH.

In what regard?

For what it's worth, I don't consider the sequel trilogy to be significantly worse than the prequel trilogy.  They were both fully of sloppy writing, unnecessary plot devices, a romance sub-plot written by someone who's apparently incapable of relating to other human beings, and characters whose voices quickly became The Most Annoying Sound.

Whatever he intends to do, it can't be as heart-stoppingly inane as the alleged plot of The Rise of Skywalker that was leaked online a week or so back.

Apparently a retelling/alternate history of Darth Plagueis. Different from what we heard in the prequels..

JJ has to mess with the prequels too, i guess , in order for ole Palpatine’s return to make sense. 

I’m not hear to defend the prequels, and I seriously doubt anything done to alter them (post milenial) are going to make much of a difference. But geez man, the dead should stay where they lay..

If this true, then Star Wars is well and truly dead.  The only way to bring it back will be to *shudder* reboot it.  But hear me out on that.  With a good writing and directing team at the helm *cough* Dave Filoni *cough* it could be done right, erase the issues with prequels, fix some of the plot holes of the OT, and wipe out the mess that in the Sequel Trilogy.

... huh?  When, in the prequel trilogy, did we get history on that guy?  

IIRC the only time he's even mentioned is a "legend" related by the galaxy's most unreliable narrator, Darth Sideous, who had already spend the entire trilogy lying through his teeth to all and sundry.

This, for a franchise full of incredibly talkative dead guys... 

(Back before Disney sensibly chucked the entire Expanded Universe, Palpatine had made death into a bit of a revolving door hadn't he?  I seem to recall his dumb arse coming back to life several times to continue acting like a goddamn Disney villain.)

If that alleged leak is on the level, I'm going to get far more entertainment value out of watching Star Wars fans go to pieces than I am from the film.

Either way, I'm going to need popcorn.  Lots and lots of popcorn.

You've seen the kind of people Disney has let helm the franchise.

If we're going to wish, let's at least keep our wishes realistic.

That’s right. This would be Sidious telling a different version from what we heard in ROTS. And yes! Sidious was a consummate list and manipulator, so this gives JJ the wiggle room he needs to make ROTS even “better” cough,cough. While making franchise history with episode 9...(can you hear the sarcasm?)

I’m not holding my breadth on any of this stuff. The Lame beyond comparison utube you included is just as likely to be true as well..

While I take these rumors with a grain of salt, that sounds like typical Abrams-BS. Mystery box at the start with zero payoff at the end.
