I'm wondering if this Lucas trying to recapture his American Graffiti days.

The trailer looks amazing.

Right. Lucas wrote the screenplay with John Ridle, and hired a Black director, Anthony Hemingway.

There have been a slew of racist comments on YouTube about the trailer that really gave me pause. To quote a lyric from Prince: " 21st century, oh what a shame, what a shame race, race still matters".

First, its already been done, and done better than this.

Second, it looks like Lucas' typically awful melodramatic dialogue.

Third, unrealistic battle scenes that look and sound like Star Wars.

To sum up; no.
