Teaser trailer was released yesterday. Looks darker and grittier than The Force Awakens. Any thoughts or opinions leading up to December 16th?

    When do you think Disney is going to cross over the Marvel Universe with the Star Wars universe??? You know they have people considering it.

    My guess is the year 2021

    Agreed, let's get James Earl Jones back in the action one last time.
    Perhaps we will meet Snoke in this movie. Maybe he tried to take Vader out or Vader took an apprentice to overtake the Emperor, and that was Snoke.
    Would be really cool if we meet Snoke and don't know it until later, though those of us who think out every plausible scenario will guess it.

    i just finished watching episodes 4-6 and darth vader is not really that bad ass ... his fight scenes were all pretty lame ... sure, force choking a general from another room is cool but that's about it ...

    definitely no yoda ...

    I agree, menacing persona and presence, but lumbering, clumsy action acting.
    I am sure they will speed it up a bit and get a little more martial artsy with him, if they are smart.
    The one thing the prequels excelled at was increasing the intensity and enjoyability of the lightsaber duels. It made watching the original saber battles almost painful.

    The new series needs to track the same way the prequels did, the fighting needs to get faster, more acrobatic, and with more force powers.
    A nice battle of wills somewhere between Galdalf and the Balrog on the bridge of Khazad Dum and Harry with Voldemort struggling with connected wands would be a nice touch.

    we are of the same minds! ... haha

    what they did with yoda in the prequels was make him the singular most bad ass character of all time!

    I disagree about Yoda, I thought it was a tad corny, CG at today's capability would probably have prevented that though. Palpatine's fighting was bad, just awful.

    Anakin and obi were harass though

    If they're trying to capture the look and feel of the original trilogy, that might be one of the most idiotic things they could possibly do.

    I think that would be a mistake, recapturing is never a good plan. A new movie in the look and feel of A New Hope would be boring and disappointing now.

    First of all, Vader looks bad ass in every scene. He was particularly awesome against Luke Skywalker in the best Star wars movie that has still ever been made. It's called The Empire Strikes Back.

    I like what they did with FA, with the look and feel more like the prequels and the storytelling and plot devices from the originals.

    For Rogue One, go closer to the originals but keep the action standards current.

    For the rest of the series, let's get a real look at Rey and Kylo as they train hard and improve in the Force, that will make their next showdown more anticipated and appreciated. I would like to see them take the next movie up immediately where the Force Awakens stopped, but that isn't something that one should expect from a Star Wars movie. It will probably start after they have trained for a few years.

    A scene where Vader looks badass? Oh, I dunno. How about the first time he appears onscreen?
