Clearly, this is a dream sequence like the ones in prior movies. No way Rey is going to the dark side.

I'll be there.

I think so to. It'would be masively stupid of Disney to spoil this in a simple teaser.

I've always gotten into the lightsabers: colors, crystals, deigns, etc And I'm finding, and I get it but, I'm finding people are making sabers 'cool' looking but not really functional. So many Jedi(light & dark) and Sith have had two bladed sabers. It's nothing new to Star Wars. But if this is real, JJ needs to make it his, so he's made a bendable saber. I don't see the purpose, because I doubt anyone would be able to fight with it in that shape.

Speaking of functional, this lightsabre made me laugh...

LOL Swiss Army Lightsaber

It is so to the point where people are just making fun of this stuff.

I still don't really get the point of Kylo's sabers outside of trying to make a cool looking saber

Yeah, it seems like a case of "what can we do to make it cooler" sydrome.

I did like Darth Maul and having two attached like a bow staff as it seemed like a good idea.

Maybe because it's technology it needs to be updated like our phones, every day.

lol Yeah the double blades are functional and cool. You can use it as a single blade or double. There are other dark Jedi and light Jedi Knights that have used them. I don't like any other types. I don't care for Kylo's either.

Luke has used a 1/2 sized saber along with his green one.

Thanks I cannot wait

For those interested in backstory

Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Force Collector Hardcover – November 19, 2019by Kevin Shinick (Author), Tony Foti (Illustrator)

In this Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker young adult novel set just before The Force Awakens, a restless teenager sets out to discover what connection his mysterious Force powers have to the fabled Jedi and what the Force has in store for him.

^ what's this? a Female Boba Fett now?
God, something stinks of unoriginality. This is like POOCHIE level pandering. First we got the useless Orange Yoda (Ma's Cantina), then we realize we're dealing with the female Anakin (whose upbringing is held back for some cheap eventual 180 pull: dummies will be like OOOOOHHHH SHIEEEETT she' IS from the line! - I NEVER SAW THAT COMING!)
next up a female from Kashyyyk???


Maybe they'll make love onscreen and have cute little merchandise!

I'm so done with this crap, can't wait till it's over. Much like this never ending Presidency with these gutless hacks in office unopposing... ..ah... I've strayed off topic.
Where's the female Kenobi with beard? (LGBT)
The female Lando with sass?


they're just pulling the cheap studio megalith tropes, folks. Nothin to see here.

LOL

At this point it is damage control. I suspect in some way this should have been the follow up to TFA.
And George Lucas should have been talked to from day one.

I disagree regarding having George Lucas involved. This is the same man who was responsible for writing the prequels. I watched them all this past weekend and they are worse than I remember. I get that Star Wars movies have always been aimed at a younger demographic but Episode 1 and 2 come across like they were written for 5 year olds. Episode 3 fares a bit better but the dialogue is just as bad, sometimes worse, as in episodes 1 and 2. The entire movie is basically one giant meme. Awful. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy episode 3 for what it is but this is not high art we're talking about here. I see the new "Sequel Trilogy" as being an improved version of the prequels. The story is still simplistic as fuck but the special effects, dialogue and acting are much better.

I disagree that the prequels are bad. Episode 1, if they left out Jarr Jarr and had less of the boy(kids in movies like this I usually don't like) people would enjoy it. The movie was needed in setting up how Palpatine and Anakin came to be the Emperor and Darth Vader.

.

Episode 2, was a solid movie, I didn't care much for the love affair part, but overall the movie was good.

.
Episode 3 was really good, I don't know too many people that did not like The Revenge of the Sith.

.

Actually I don't think SW movies were always aimed at younger audiences. Like Disney movies were not really aimed at younger audiences initially.

.

Where 1-2 fell a little flat was he tried to write them like movies of the 70s and 80s which involved less verbal communication. That is one of the things that made most 70s and 80s movies good. Too much talking can really mess up the acting. Having to explain everything mean the movie isn't good.

.

I think the Disney sequels are pulling too much on the visual nastalgia of the previoius episodes. For example the star destroyer downed on the planet Rey lived on. They wrote a thick book called Lost Stars just to exlain how that ship got on the planet. The book was weak. It could have been a short story just for that. And TFA and TLJ are totally just re-writes of Episode IV V VI

.

Episode I II III succeed in telling the story of how IV V VI came to be, the visuals were wonderful.

VI and VII failed in that they did not take I-V and evolve it forward. They went backards and warped. VII failed to even evolve what was in VI. In many ways it actually contradicted it.

OR she picks up saber(from a royal guard) to defeat The Emperor.

I tend to agree.

But we saw a fallen Skywalker prodigy turn to the light in VI.

It's possible Rey's turn could prompt Ben's redemption in IX.

But like someone else said, no way they give away such a big twist in a trailer.

As weak as the prequels are (especially I & II), I still prefer them over the Disney sequels.

Yes, they still are connected, made sense in the continuum of Star Wars and made me ask questions
