permian-tropos:
all of the other things that are hype about the trailer, I acknowledge to be hype, I think it’s very sparse and doesn’t give away much
- Kylo fighting Rey on Jakku with a TIE fighter, if we assume he is fighting her and it’s not some really elaborate shenanigan but let’s assume, is fascinating because we don’t know what’s going on there, if Rey is getting a surprise drop on him or if he really is trying to run her over in his ship. it comes off like a showdown at high noon kind of thing, or like a joust. it’s almost like they’ve agreed to fight and the terms were you get to pick one weapon and Kylo picks a whole ass ship. I don’t know what kind of shenanigan it could be if they’re working together because what would a maneuver like that achieve? so yeah my assumption is either Rey is doing a surprise attack or they’re dueling
- I think they’re going to maybe find the Observatory on Jakku and learn that Palp had a secret plan, and then head to Endor to dig around in the old man’s grave. maybe the Sentinel droids will make an appearance — they have his face and voice and can deliver the trailer cackle but they’re not literally resurrections of Palp. in that way, it’s not actually “surprise Palp is here” but using something that’s been in the EU for a while
- Jannah looks like Lando’s daughter from the outfit alone
- if Kylo Ren is fighting the KoR in that scene he’s advancing alongside a group of regular looking troopers marching like troopers do so no I don’t think that’s him defecting it looks like he’s leading an invasion force
- I think the scene of Finn and Poe on the speeder is them racing towards the Observatory on Jakku because I think they’re setting off old land mines we know were set up there. they’re being chased by what seem to be FO speeders so it seems less likely the explosions are coming from the FO since dropping bombs on their own troops isn’t very effective
- it will be amazing to see Rey scavenging the Death Star like finally her skills are plot relevant also JJ knows that I am bought and sold with those vistas with Empire ruins he’s just milking it and I’m not complaining
- the arc of idk some kind of artifact hunt to uncover an ancient mystery, even with all the fan service, is legitimately a formula departure. if this movie ends up with a lot of familiar imagery but a completely unique plot structure that would be amazing. someone said this has Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes and if it’s like that I’m all in for it
- that would make my recent archaeology SW game pitch remarkably prescient
- iirc Lando was actually the one who had the Imperialis data that had the clue about Palp picking Galli up from Jakku? and it was sliced by Swift and given to Sloane? I’d have to check but if Lando has those deets that would rule
