“Final” Trailer For “Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker” Is A Lot To Take In

The title says it all. This trailer has a lot going on in it. Obviously it's gonna take more than the three watches I've had to soak it all in. However, off the top I notice this is going for big. Real big. Whether that comes off as epic or a bunch of screen noise, will really depend on the content around all of it. That's the first thing that comes to my head mainly due to J.J. Abrams track record with me. I’ve always thought he was great starting off stories. Just not at finishing them up. I’ve never been too impressed with his endings. Hence my favorite of his being the first Star Trek remake. Which was basically left wide open, followed by the step back in my opinion that was Into the Darkness. Star Wars wise, there's few things off top that stood out for me. It's looking like the Emperor may have merged with the Death Star. I could be wrong on that, but that's where my head went when I saw the robotic, cloaked figure in front of Rey. Loved the whole their coming together will be there undoing. I’m hoping that's a Rey team-up with Kylo thing, but that just seems too likely to actually be it. Then there was the C3P0 “look at my friends scene. Could be touching, could be corny. Either way glad they showed it so it dosen’t get the Leia Poppins treatment when people see it. A scene I loved, but I think a lot of people wasn’t ready for it. A glimpse might have changed that. Anyway, this trailer displays pretty much all the action that was missing out of the others. I’ll probably notice a hundred more things as I rewatch it. Very busy, but I dug it for what it was. Visually stunning, action eye candy. I love it's called the Final Trailer. As if there's not going to be a million TV spots, clips, & “special looks” bombarding us over the months. What do y'all think of this look though when added to what we’ve already seen? Add whether you were pro- Last Jedi or anti- Last Jedi. As always, put it in the comments, like, & share.

Major Rey Development In D23 Trailer For Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

This is why I'm holding off a bit on my D23 wrap-up video. The big news is obviously Disney+, but there are some looks at things that were given that I'm hoping we'll get a look at. This is one if them. Even though it's more of a montage than a trailer, this Star Wars footage drove everyone nuts with an end that will keep us speculating until Rise of Skywalker's release. Rey wielding a double bladed, RED lightsaber. I’m not even going to begin speculating on this one. Mainly because my head went in so many different directions. From she’s turned, to it's a trick, no a vision, to it's clone, all the way to no shes's a clone. They can literally go anywhere with this. Crazy thing is, I didn't think there was much else they could do to get me excited for this movie. Totally wrong. I can’t wait to see where all this winds up. Awesome look. What’d y'all think? Did I miss any possibilities? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Star Wars/Disney+ Makes Obi-wan Announcement, The Mandalorian Trailer, And More At D23

Lots of big stuff hit D23 yesterday when it comes to the upcoming Disney+ streaming service. One of the things that I've been most excited for when it comes to this service has been its Star Wars content, & they did not disappoint at D23and for Star Wars fans everywhere - it did not disappoint. Along with confirming a prequel series for Cassian Andor starring Diego Luna and Alan Tudyk (as K2SO), announcing that The Clone Wars will return in February 2020, & debuting the first amazing trailer for The Mandalorian, they revealed Ewan McGregor hitting the stage to confirm that he will return as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Disney+ series; with the scripts written and filming to begin next year in 2020! This has been rumored for awhile now, but the confirmation with Ewan McGregor is great. Plus if there's any doubts whatsoever in the quality of what's to come, that's what the trailer's for. I loved this first trailer for The Mandalorian! It oozes Star Wars from the very beginning, & all throughout has that original feel. On top of that it also has that old epic gunfighter western feel to it as well as promised. I wouldn't doubt it if I run through this series on day 1. Anyway more Disney+ to come from D23 as well as a full wrap up show Monday morning. Stay up, & let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Star Wars Episode IX Panel At Celebration Unleashes The Trailer, Name, And A Little More

The Episode IX panel was probably one of the most fun panels I've ever sat through. Worth watching just for Billy Dee Willams alone. A couple really big things I took out of this though besides the name & trailer was J.J. mentioning this takes place some time after TLJ, the whole group will embark on this mission, & the characters fighting the light & dark to face the bigger evil. Which left me like Colbert, who hosted the whole thing, wondering what the bigger evil could possibly be. Oh yeah, then there's the name Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker, & a perfect teaser trailer. This thing has me so pumped, & if you're not convinced that's the emperor laughing in the background, Celebration cut to Ian McDiarmid himself to roll it yet again. I know we're gonna see more, but they could have my money based just on this. Luke's lightsaber's back, apparently so is some form of Luke, & Emperor Palpatine himself. This looks epic! The backflip over the tie fighter, Kylo's run-through Braveheart style, Lando back in driver's seat of the Falcon? A perfect send off for the Skywalker saga. The trailer's at the bottom if you haven't seen it. Check it out, & don't forget to let me know what you think in the comments, like, & share.

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer" = Just Take My Money!

I expected this trailer to be awesome, but it was even better than I expected. From the time it started it commanded my attention, even more so than the teaser. Star Wars: The Last Jedi looks like it's going to take the foundation laid from The Force Awakens & dial it up to light speed. It seems as if The Force Awakens was the forward, & this is going to be the unfolding of the actual story. I wonder if this means that Episode IX will come off as an epilogue of sorts? What I gather from this Kylo has an extreme amount of Force power & so does Rey, Kylo has to now take out his mom,  & Finn & Phasma are going to go at it for real finally. The ending though is where it was really at. Are we going to have a Kylo/Rey team up? Oh man, only time will tell, but I now can't wait for the December 14th to be here!! What do y'all think? Did this trailer blow you away like it did me? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

New Trailer For Final Season Of "Star Wars: Rebels" Looks Epic

After seeing this if you can't tell this series is coming to an end, you watched the wrong trailer. I've loved almost every episode of this series, & that's saying a lot for an animated as there's always some "throw-away" episodes. That said, I can only think of less than a handful of these I didn't find some significance in. This new trailer looks like the last season won't disappoint either. Everything's coming to a close, & it hints to the fact that our heroes' fate might not lie with the rebellion. At least not with Mon Mothma's rebellion. There's three main things I took out of this trailer that I really want to see besides the fate of the Ghost's crew. First, there's the overall fate of Mandalore. I went from not really caring about this much, to this being the thing I want to see the most. They've really done this Mandalore build-up right. Second, there was the heavy influence of Saw Gerrera. He trained with Anakin Skywalker & Ashoka Tano in the Clone Wars, & somehow become a robotic shell of himself. Only to be very oddly acted by one of my favorite actors, Forest Whitaker in Rogue One. I'm hoping we get some signs into the overall mind frame &  the robotics that make up the character between Star Wars Clone Wars & the events of Rogue One. Third, there's one of my favorite villains they've been re-inventing, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn got thrown away when the pre-Disney novels got labeled non-canon & re-dubbed Legends. He was by far the best thing about all of the Legend novels combined. It was great to see him re-invented last season, I just wanted more. Anyway, this trailer has me totally pumped. I can't wait for October 16. What did y'all think? What stood out? Put it in the comments, like, & share. 

If You Haven't Watched The Behind-The-Scenes Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer, Why Not?

This is even better than the teaser trailer, & that stops me in my tracks still whenever I see it playing. I'm usually one who likes to see behind-the-scenes things, just not as promotional material. This did it right though. They managed to make a behind-the-scenes feel like a trailer. With looks at all kinds of new species throughout the galaxy, some of the new characters with some of the old, & real sets that actually blow up. That's what it was that did it for me now that I really think about it. The use of practical sets & actual explosions. Digital Effects are awesome, but I feel they're even better when used as a "seasoning", just sprinkled over already created actual, physical effects to blend the illusion. I can't wait to see this movie. Check out this trailer,let me know what you think in the comments below, like & share.
