Where are all the aliens? Every single character in that trailer is just another bland diverse human.
Humans are cheaper to show, no special effects required
What the fuck is with Disney and their portrayal of the Empire as space colonists? The original analogy of the Republic becoming the Empire was very clearly Rome inspired, with the Empire's territory pretty much being what they already had as the Republic. I guess going off of that would mean too much politics instead of something simple and easy like Empire = colonizers, Rebels = natives.
To know about Rome's history would require a high level of interest in history and ancient politics (and how they reflect current world politics).
Things like that require reflection and widening one's POV to world at large. You must want to get challenged.
We both know people, especially nowadays, dont like getting challenged so its much easier to give narrative and theme that are easy to digest.

"This is the worst day ever"
"Because I killed younglings?"
"No, because its a little humid- OF COURSE IT WAS BECAUSE YOU KILLED YOUNGLINGS!!"
Who would be this show's Megan?
Sideous
He did want to be a pretty little girl, afterall.
Star Wars fans get collective short term memory loss every time a new trailer for ANYTHING SW related comes out like they didn't just get shit on by Lucasfilm consistently for 10 years. Bonus points if it's got Darth Vader in it.
I had an old post of mine, not sure if I should post it again, it was the life cycle of a SW fan.
They start upset at Disney's fuck up
Then Disney does something slightly decent, they get all soy boy consumer happy again
Disney fucks up again and the cycle repeats itself.
The chad version is of Disney fucking up, saying for the rat to go fuck itself and never give them a dime again.
The former are hopeless
lso lmao all the costumes, aliens and references featured in the first episode are from TFA, TLJ and Plan IX, and in Mos Eisley of all places.
Im very fucking sure all of those are to cut on costs, they have all that shit laying around gathering dust in the last few years so might as well find an excuse to use it.
Can't wait to see how Doomcuck tries to claim the sequels and all its elements are still getting retconned
Its peak coping that SW can still be saved. Its like saying that you have a bucket of water, that will stop the raging flames. Even if it somehow kills the flames, the damage is fucking done.
There is also the fact that the method of """erasing""" the sequel trilogy is making it an alternative reality through that time travel non sense that Feloni introduced. This feels such a contrived and convoluted "solution" that is bound to do more harm than good...
The fact of the matter is that the Sequel Trilogy is like an inoperable tumor on the brand. It cant ever be removed, I even dare say it cant be remedied neither like the worst of the prequels. You cant ignore it either because all roads lead to it.
The brand is in a state of heavy chemotherapy, thin, bald and pale. Its not the person you knew anymore, not even in behavior since the procedures are fucking with their brain.
At this point, is it better to just end it and remember them for who they were before or just let this go on until they are unrecognizable?
Dont be mistaken, Star Wars didnt die. It was murdered.
Captain Rex or not, the mere idea of clone troopers - mentally conditioned killing machines commissioned by Palpatine to execute his plans - being dismissed and let loose among the civilian population instead of, you know, being retooled into stormtroopers is as pants-shittingly retarded as the worst of the sequels' brilliant plot twists.
It makes even less sense when you consider that they are all brain chipped and after Order 66, the empire wouldnt be shy of using orders from the chip to keep them all under control.
If they wanted to keep this accurate, this clone trooper should have shouted "JEDI!! GOOD SOLDIERS FOLLOW ORDERS!!" while trying to kill Obi-wan. But nah...them homeless now yo.
So apparently Obi Wan meets kid Leia in this show? Doesn't that contradict ANH? Sure her entire planet blew up but she doesn't really care after he dies unlike Luke who actually knew him. I guess they want to justify Leia and Han naming their son Ben which was always stupid as shit.
Made sense when Luke did it in the Legends, Obi wan was the man that set him on the path of becoming a Jedi. It doesnt make sense in the new canon, hell, it gets worse when you see there is no reason why Luke didnt have at least a kid of his own (he probably died a virgin even, what a big fuck you to his character).
But you know, I could even forgive that if Kylo Ren was a mixture between Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker in a way. Luke sees him as the son he never had (for some reason) and Ben would no doubt grow probably more attached to him than his own parents. Something really powerful and touching could come from that but nah...sequel trilogy will sequel trilogy.

You underestimate the autistic power of Filoni cameowank. Rex or not, its going to be someone from Filoni Wars or Rex is going to show up later at some point much like many others.
Also this show has already shown that it doesn't care much about visual consistency.

I gave Rebels a chance back in the day and I did remember really enjoying The Grand Inquisitor...until he got bested and killed by a fucking padawan...despite the fact that its implied he was the strongest inquisitor and only bested by the sith in terms of skills with force and dark side. Without mentioning he had a pretty dope theme
Its like they had this amazing concept for a villain and they couldnt help but annihilate him at the earliest opportunity. Thats like killing off Thrawn at the first book of his trilogy.
Then it seems Disney/Feloni settled on TGI being almost a joke character at this point
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word. Also fuck chips."
You know, this makes me wonder
To those who are against and in favor of the brain chip plot point, why is that? Explain your argument.
"This lightsaber once belonged to Yoda. You should take it."
"..."
"You know. Because you're the same race."
When pointless fan service makes your beloved character kind of racist.
Maybe its me missing the point but at least Yoda's lightsaber was built specifically for someone his stature so it makes sense for Grogu to get it.
Not that Im defending them, Im just saying.
