Yet Another Death Star?

Any idea who is the little big-eyed guy next to R2-D2?

pacovf has a neopets account.  It has 999 hours logged.  All his neopets are named "Jessica".  I guess that must be his ex.

Well, that trailer made me neither more excited nor less excited for the film. It projects pure "epic", but what I want is "fun".

So you want Guardians of the Long Time Ago Galaxy That Is Far Far Away?

Yes, that exactly.

I guess another thing is that, I don't want the movie to be shackled to the previous ones. I don't want the film to constantly wink at me, asking, "Hey, remember this character/location/situation?" The less we see of characters from the previous films, the better. Naturally the trailers are doing as much of this goddamn winking as possible. I just hope the film itself does less of it.

I do want it to be shackled to them - I want it to acknowledge and be aware of episodes I-VI - but not in a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" nostalgia-driven way.  I want it to build on, expand upon, move naturally forward from what came before; to be aware of its history, but not be stuck in the past.

See Jurassic World for the wrong way to do this.

I just now learned what most people probably knew a while ago... this isn't produced by 20th Century Fox, thus no standard fanfare music before the Star Wars music. I'm quite disappointed. It's a small thing, but that music has always been part of Star Wars in my mind. Whenever I heard it, I mentally expect it to be followed by the Star Wars theme. It just won't be the same without it.

I'll just bring a boombox into the speaker and play the fanfare at just the right moment.

It's going to be a short John Williams fanfare over the Lucasfilm logo.  No Disney logo, no Bad Robot logo.

Ties things together even more nicely than 3 did, but wouldn't be nearly as fun.  Fun little read though, thanks!

Eh.  Anakin's fall really needs to be a temptation - that's what the Dark Side is about.  It's not supposed to seem reasonable or anything, and it's mainly going on inside your head.  And personally I think the entire Order 66 sequence is the best in the entire Prequel trilogy.  It's something the Jedi simply were not expecting, and their overconfidence in their abilities, even blinded as they were, led to their downfall.  I know a lot of fans think they're supposed to be rooting for the Jedi, and get confused by this, but the Jedi were just as bloated, corrupted and self-absorbed as the Senate was at this point.  All those seemingly arbitrary restrictions and rules, all the condescension - all of this may have been in place to prevent a Jedi from turning, but in the end was what actually ended up causing Anakin to fall to the Dark Side.  The reason why Obi-Wan and Yoda are much more introspective and spiritual in the OT is because they've realized the ways of the Jedi had to change.  They failed not just because of the outside force of Palpatine, but because of inside hubris as well.

So much of this.  The Jedi as portrayed in the prequels were utterly useless, stifled by indecision, and morally bankrupt because they were unable to take any meaningful actions at all.

Oh, and they were separating children from their parents after giving them a blood test, because, despite being these supposed paragons of virtue, and magically powerful, no one was *volunteering* to become a Jedi.
