I loved the Last Jedi but the Force Awakens was ruined for me by copying the plot structure of A New Hope essentially making it a remake.
If this next one can avoid being Return Of The Jedi - it should be a winner!

Couldn't disagree more, all terrible imho, but in terms of Lando - black don't crack, how youthful does Billy Dee Williams look in that trailer!

We're at the point now that I need a 'Star Wars - Family Tree'.
I have no idea what's going on with the story and who's who.
In Stat Universe Marvel has handed out an absolutely beating to Star Wars.

Shmi Skywalker + The Force - > Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader)
Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) + Padme Amidala -> Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa
Leia + Han Solo -> Ben Solo (Kylo Ren)
Rey's parents unknown, Luke Skywalker, Ben Kenobi, Yoda, Qui Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Boba Fett, Palpatine, Lando all not thought to have children.

Final trailer - looks good to me. The theme music has never sounded better.

Excellent. Not spoilery, giving away no real plot beats. Looks and Sounds amazing. Let's hope JJ can close out the 9 film arc in a satisfying way.

I much prefer Malcolm Tucker's take on it:
"What’s that film you like? About the space hairdresser. The space hairdresser and the cowboy? You know, he’s got a tin foil pal and a pedal bin. His dad’s a robot and he fvcked his sister. Lego! They’re all made of Lego!"

Still can't get over how shite that was

Lando was in love with a Fleabag Robot. So, possible BB8 is one of their offspring?
Thanks for heads up. Imax tickets booked for opening night.
(Was supposed to get an email in advance of tickets going on sale. Grrrr!)

Apparently Boris Johnson has a cameo in the film playing the evil emperor who f**ks everything up.

Indeed, George Lucas has been quoted as saying the original idea for Vader was loosely based on Margaret Thatcher.

That 3P0 line. Pass the sick bucket.
I'll watch it but The last Jedi was utter bobbins. This has to be seriously good to get back on track.

Can Abrams possibly save the saga some dignity with this final outing?
Have any of the subsequent films or spin offs given us any of those jaw dropping moments, Leia clinging to Luke and swinging across a chasm, Han's yeeeeeehaaaa to give Luke the all clear to blow the death star, Vader telling Luke he's his father, Yoda raising the X-wing from the swamp, Han and Leia's stolen kisses. You think back to those moments, and you are struggling.
We're left with Luke seemingly a grumpy island redneck who dies from 'force projection exhaustion', a shiny 'chrome dome' storm trooper, a space chase that revolved around waiting for the chased to run out of fuel, and a big gun in a planet that seemed more complicated than building another Death Star and just as vulnerable.
What could possibly go wrong!?

Yup, the first two in this saga have created so many questions, that this one could have been titled star wars episode 9 the jedi and the dozens of loose ends. If it pulls it off it will rank as one of the greatest feats of film-making of all time

The Vader scene at the end of Rogue One is as good as any Star Wars scene I’ve ever seen.
