somme Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I'm glad the trailer seems to give stuff away but really hasn't. Got my midnight screening tickets booked! 1

Expand Precisely this! Upon first viewing it felt like way too much had been shown: wait, that happens, and that happens, and that happens? Subsequent viewings calmed my initial caution, and there are so many ways in which any one of those potentially-spoilery-but-not-spoilery events could go. Kudos to whomever cut the trailer, I think it's an absolute masterpiece (especially with how they got Rey's lightsaber-swinging sound effects to match up to the melody playing at that time). Got my midnight tickets booked too I remember being extremely excited for TFA, yet somehow I'm even more excited for TLJ! 65 days to go now...
Jimbob Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Got a week off over Christmas, so my plan is to see this over that period.

Expand Within in the first couple of shots you've got AT-AT style walkers on what appears to be snow (with later snow related battle shots) Later on you have a wise Jedi who has gone into hiding teaching a young Force awakened youth. All Kylo Ren needed to say was in the hand outreached shot was "Join me, and together, we could rule the galaxy as father and son" (which he still even might) And you think this doesn't look like it's ripping off Empire? 1

Plus, even if it does (which I find highly unlikely) is there really that much wrong with "ripping off" what many would argue is one of the greatest sequels in film history? It's a trailer; if we're really going to go deep into TESB callbacks, we could talk about the not-so-obvious inclusion of part of the Imperial March, or perhaps the harp playing at the start being isolated from the beginning of The Rebel Fleet. Unlike TFA, which didn't mirror ANH stop much in its promotional footage, TLJ is very clearly leaning into it, which is a very smart move for marketing, and let's not forget that it is extremely rare for the studio producing the film to have much of a hand in the trailer; its more than likely that the trailer company (which did a fantastic job, imo) used footage which harked back to TESB intentionally, as it's an easy marketing tool to use, and couple that with unclear and vague musical callbacks that are originally from TESB being in the trailer? It's marketing genius at work, if you ask me.

Julius Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Quote A year ago, maybe even more than that, my producer Ram [Bergman] and I sat down with the folks at Lucasfilm and said, ‘OK, this is what we’re going to reveal here and there, and this stuff we’re never going to reveal until the movie comes out.’ We came up with a ‘no-fly list’ of, under no circumstances is this shown or that shown,” says Johnson. “It is a fascinating process. It’s something that for me, just having been a fan my whole life, suddenly being behind the curtain and seeing how it works and seeing how deliberate it is, has been really fascinating. Expand So, in the unlikely case that anyone thought that the most recent trailer for The Last Jedi revealed anything that shouldn't have been revealed...we've seen nothing yet. Rian certainly knows how to drive a hype train. ¡59 days to go! 1
somme Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I normally hate trailers but thought this one was great. I'm now going into a Star Wars film with more questions than ever before, and I love it.
bob Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I thought the trailer was pretty good, but not as good as TFA. Damn that was a great trailer. I went back and watched it after this one and it's a masterpiece of hype.

Expand I think that this trailer was much smarter, but have to agree that TFA's was clearly better in terms of hyping things up; ultimately, I feel that that boils down to the dependence on Original Trilogy motifs and music in the TFA trailer, whereas as TLJ's includes a lot of the new stuff we first heard in TFA. Gosh darn, this film really can't come soon enough!
