Greedo could make an appearance. (Not that I need him to, but I just want you to feel better cad)

I'm hoping for Greedo Boba Fett and Jabba, small cameos.

I really like this trooper. He’s very different and has cool hooded cape.

"It really has tarnished my ability to enjoy it to its fullest," Hamill shared with ABC News of Fisher's passing. "You were asking earlier, 'Are you gonna come back?' I don't care anymore, on that level. Because Han Solo is gone, Luke is gone. You just can't get the band back together the way you wanted it to be, and it shouldn't be that way. It is what it is. Rather than being sorry that we can't have more of her, I'm just grateful that we had the time with her that we did."

Looks very cold war . Compare it to these soldiers in Zodiak suits ( I think they are called Zodiak suits).

The fact that we won’t get a reunion of han, luke and leia is so sad. It’s honestly ridiculous, and such a big missed opportunity. I may always be baffled as to why that didn’t let this happen....

It was a stupid move on their part. There is a way to respectfully treat and send off the classic characters while also giving plenty of spotlight to the new characters. Colin (the original director for ep 9) wanted to do this. According to recent information, Colin demanded Luke be left alive for his movie because in his original plan, he wanted to send off luke the right way by allowing Luke to pass of the torch to the next generation while also respecting his character.
It seems like Colin understood that there needed to be a happy medium between respecting the fandom while also giving plenty of room for new characters. He’s even mentioned something similar in a tweet about Jurassic world.

Also where are the familiar alien species? It looks like yet again it’s going to be all new species of aliens with the same bland earth tones.

There were some twi'leks in the first trailer

But yeah, I'd say there's only 1or 2 new species from the film that look interesting

This is just hideous

Something about individuals using weapons they aren't trained on bothers me. Not just in this picture but alot of new stuff like Rey, fin and even Aphra weilding one at one point.

Like whats the point in the 7 light saber forms if anyone can use it no problem. It makes the weapon less um I cant think of a word for what i mean but like comparing a German Messer or a rapier to a bat or club.

It makes it feel like the light saber is going from a professionals weapon to a peasants.

New tv spot with more Lando.

Still another week to wait for my 3D Blu Ray of TLJ. Had to order from Zavvi (UK site). Shipment was delayed.
I might be in the minority here, but I can't wait to watch this again at home with headphones on!

UNSANE_fan75 · April 17, 2018 9:45PM

I'm going against my usual routine of poring over trailers and tv spots. I've only seen the major trailers for Solo and Avengers Infinity War, I think the newer TV spots will probably give too much away. (I think it helps that I haven't seen Hail Caesar with Alden, so I have no idea if I like the actor or not....but I'll soon find out.) I think he (and Solo) will be great. (But in no way am I not appreciating all the trailers posted here, that is always cool)

Nice. It can be annoying when people post youtube videos that say stuff like, "OFFICIAL Solo MOVIE TRAILER" and it ends up being fan-made. That gets old real quick. Even though some mashups can be quite funny, like this Avengers Retro Pardoy Trailer:

Yeah, if he can manage to nail that voice for even a portion of his scenes, he's nailed the role. Donald only continues to impress in the trailers.

I did. I love new modes, everyone is still figuring out what to do. Level playing field. I was a Trooper first, stumbling around in the dark and got killed early on, then had a blast as an Ewok, even topping the leaderboard with 5 kills. Watching the shuttle land is pretty cool. The graphics are superb, new music, too, I think I heard the Imperial March.
Got 10 kills for the 1000 credits (60k total now, personal level 40). I want those Weequay skins, they're 20k each.
Last Jedi in 3D was great. Not very strong 3D conversion, but still my fave way to watch. I found myself laughing at the funny scenes, and not cringing, so that's good. How about you, are you liking Ewok Hunt?

Yeah Ewok hunt is a refreshing new game mode. It feels a little repetitive after playing multiple matches but it’s a fun mode.

UNSANE_fan75 · April 19, 2018 10:22PM

I agree. Still fun. I got a kick out of killing 3 troopers with one Ewok (probably won't do that again) and Emoting. The ewok emotes are great. Tonight I want to try a kill by jumping from the trees and attacking from above, I want to get that elusive OHK. Hey, am I crazy or did I notice the new patch notes included "fixes to jumpack cargo" which seems odd since that mode is no longer available. Methinks it may return at some point.

I like how DICE has finally taken the hint and added a mode that isn't grounded by competitive play. It's nice to just have a mode about mindless fun.

Yeah they really screwed this part up. IMO it's the heart of all the criticism of the ST. It makes the return of the original cast seem like just a big tease. And now with the unfortunate passing of Carrie Fisher, they are left with maybe Luke showing up as a force ghost in Episode 9.

This was such an easy thing for them to get right too. Give us a reunion of the cast in Episode 7, and then send them off with respect while passing the torch to the new cast. It's not just about the OT. Fans have been reading books and other material about these character since the Thrawn trilogy in the early 90's. This is something you have to try to screw up really lol, and Disney did it.

Wouldn't be surprised if its some kind of insurgency or uprising. My knowledge on the EU (both current and Legends) is limited, but Lords of the Sith featured a relatively small cell that managed to drag in both Palpatine and Vader.
