The title for the next film was announced today. It's a pretty safe bet that we'll get the first trailer in April at Celebration.

Recent events have put a serious dent in my theory Leia is Snook & will slash Luke's head off in this next flick

As long as the plot includes more death stars/planet killers, count me in. [poop]:thumbsdown:

Supreme Leader Snoke is overseeing the construction of a new superweapon when the DirecTV installer drops a deuce in his crawlspace.

Yep, they played it ultra-safe and unoriginal as hell with TFA. "Let's blow up a big round planet killing thing!"

How freaking original guys!

I really hope they don't end up screwing this whole thing up, but they probably will. And make $billions$ in the process.

I think they are doing better than Lucas at this point.

George Lucas lost his creative mind sometime after Empire Strikes Back. We know this because...Ewoks. The decades between ROTJ and the prequels were further degenerative on his creative mind, culminating in...Jar Jar Binks.

I agree they are doing better than Lucas - I enjoyed TFA - but Lucas set that bar pretty low for them.

This franchise needs to stop dicking around and get to the point, and they have about 5 more hours of film to do it in. Disney has demonstrated that when the table is set for them, they can make a good, but by no means great (Rogue One) movie and make over a billion bucks with it. I hope safe and unoriginal is not the path they intend to continue on.

yeah, Ewoks . . . can we confirm extinct, please? Jar Jar progeny and all related species too? Burning questions. Must know.

Ewoks get hate because of 80's film. No CGI in rouge 1 they were actually pretty cool. That being said if you discount Star Wars you're saying a multi billion dollar movie series isn't good, which in itself is ignorant

Haven’t watched the trailer but I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess there’s gonna be another ginormous, planet-sized weapon with a minuscule area of vulnerability that will be exploited by a scrappy bunch of rag-tag renegades, amirite?

Meh. I have no idea what from that trailer has people going crazy aside from a lightsaber and the words "Star Wars" slapped on it. Emo bad guy, a fat and hairy Mark Hamill. Admittedly some cool new creatures. But what else?

Thoughts.

No way they let Leia die by Ben shooting her ship. She’ll sacrifice herself or something.

Intrigued to see who Ben is reaching out to. It’s not Rey, IMO.

Black dude vs. Shiny lady knight is dumb. Oh, and he has an Asian girlfriend. Why not.

I’ll go on and call it. Rey and Ben are brother/sister. I’ll stand by it until December and you all can ridicule me if I’m wrong.

Luke never did get his dick wet. He ain’t got no kids.

Snoke is ... who knows? My guess is he is some screw up creation by the Emperor/Sidious. Tried to ‘create life’ and made that thing. 99.99% sure I’m wrong.
