As an old Star Wars nerd, cannot wait.

I need to get caught up on these. I grew up with these films (and toys). They were a huge part of my childhood and a bonding point for my father and I. I'm not sure where I am with what has been released but I do remember being so disappointed with the last one I lost interest. I think it was the one with the soccer ball droid, I believe Han died and I just couldn't keep going.

It looks like you stopped watching after Episode VII - The Force Awakens. You just need to watch Episode VIII - The Last Jedi and Rogue 1 to get caught up. Fortunately both are better than Episode VII. You can skip Solo.

So, was that cackling at the very end the Emperor? Would be an interesting plot twist.

I was 13 when the original, and best, came out and I have been a massive fan ever since. Like you and your Father, my Son (who is 18) and I have had many bonding moments over the movies. It’s 4 o’clock in the morning here, I’m up watching the Moto GP from COTA and my Son came in and told me the trailer had dropped.

There’s no bad Star Wars movies, yes even Phantom Menace, they are just part of the experience

Excellent and good to know. Appreciate that, saves me the google. I may watch them this weekend considering the girlfriend has her kids and it's supposed to rain. The only reason I would watch Solo is to see Childish Gambino as Lando.

I thought they scrapped the last movie.... I like Daisy Ridley and her portrayal of Rey. I hope the third installment redeems this generation’s trilogy of Star Wars.

Also curious about how that bit where she jumps on the ship works out lol

Anyone else think Kylo Ren lied to Rey about her parents? I still think there is lineage to Skywalker.

Well, yeah. It was to manipulate her. Not sure if the intention was good or bad, though.

The major difference between Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones in comparison with Emilia is what? She has boobs and all new women since Disney had taken over the Lucas films are more masculine and flat.
Carrie Fisher was a stunner when she walked away in front of Solo, Luke and Chewie from the trashcompactor on the death star and ... "schwing"
Sounds typical sexual men stuff? Oh c'mon, Im old and easy to please^^
