This is Star Wars we're talking about. It will shatter December box office records. Quote me on that.

Yep I definitely think some people are underestimating it. It has huge name value and will be the big film to see over the holidays.

Shannon Nutt

That's a no-brainer, seeing how the biggest December opening is only $84 million. It will probably do somewhere in the $150 million ballpark the first weekend, but it's not going to touch Jurassic World's $208 million opening. Although I suspect it will challenge JW's overall box office take, and most likely surpass it.

Yep, it's Ben Burtt. Matthew Wood (who was also the voice of Grievous) is the supervising sound editor.

Yeah, I'm not sure Kylo Ren will last three movies. I've heard that VIII would have a

I'd really like to get away from the small universe syndrome of the prequels.

Preterite

Yup. Like I said, it'll probably crack the top ten opening weekends. But there's no way it's going to do $100 million more than the current overall record holder.

Ranger

Strong agreement. Like I said before, they probably are just misleading us in not revealing Finn and Rey's last names and that they aren't related to anyone we have seen before.

joe_b

I'd still bet on Rey being a legacy character. I don't think they put the line "The Force runs strong in my family." in the second teaser for no good reason. As for Finn, could it be possible he doesn't have a last name? Maybe he was brought up in the First Order and only went by an ID number until now.

I keep seeing people comparing the prequels to the new trilogy, moneywise. The prequels were horrible. They were utter dogsh*t. The prequels made boatloads of money. Can anyone get their heads around what these films will do if they're actually good? We haven't had a good Star Wars film since 1983.

Josh-da-man

Wasn't the Star Wars saga originally, or at least at one point, a multigenerational epic that would cover three generations of the Skywalker family, with only the two droids appearing in all nine films?

joe_b

Yeah, but that was BEFORE they threw out Lucas' shitty outline.

Hazel Motes

I wonder why the quote in that clip and the same quote in the first teaser are 2 different line readings.

JTH182

That happens all the time.

Daisy Ridely is clearly cut from the same genetic cloth as Natalie Portman and a young Carrie Fisher. To think Rey is not somehow an offspring of Leia, you're out of your fucking minds.

It has recently been confirmed that Snoke and Kylo Ren are not Sith. They are something else called "The Knights of Ren." Well at least Kylo is. It hasn't been said yet exactly what Snoke is. Very little has been said about Snoke.

Kylo Ren isn't actually his name. Ren is a title like Darth. So Kylo Ren is a codename like Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, etc. So like with holding back Finn's and Rey's last names, there is a possibility they are holding back Kylo's real name too. Maybe he is a Solo or Skywalker... I doubt they would reuse the storyline of a Skywalker falling to the dark side again, but who knows. The whole full mask thing does give me a Darth Vader like vibe that they may be purposefully hiding Kylo's real identity though.


I doubt they abandoned it completely though. They are probably using bits and pieces of it here and there. I always viewed the "Episodes" as being the story of the Skywalker family as well. The prequel trilogy was the story of Anakin, and the original trilogy was the story of Luke, and the sequel trilogy will be the story of Luke's and/or Leia's children. Like a previous poster mentioned, the casting and resemblance of Daisy Ridley to Natalie Portman and Carrie Fisher is too uncanny to not be intentional. The "Episodes" in my opinion should be all about the Skywalkers/Solos. The "anthology" titles like Rogue One are the other stories outside the Skywalker storyline.

We need a female Jedi. Not a background character but one of our main characters.

Shazam

Kylo = Skywalker + Solo.

Kal-El

Preterite

Shazam = Shaquille + Zamboni.




But you're probably right.

Fixed.

You say shit like that, Wilford Brimley will fucking kill you in your sleep.
