New star wars trailer

[ImpulsE69]

His Star Trek movies are OK for what they are, just action and spectacle, but I'm not at all interested in that for a Star Wars movie. For that matter, why aren't there more Star Trek fans pissed about those movies? The little I know about Star Trek, they seem to piss all over.

I have some faith simply because JJ actually knows how to do a western in space. Now whether or not that is what we get is another story...

I for one loved the Star Trek reboots and didn't expect to.

The new interlocking wings are badass too!

Since there have been hundreds of books written after ROTJ and they all had to fit into the normal Star Wars cannon, do you think this will be new material? The Hand of Thrawn trilogy would have been awesome.

The whole extended universe has been tossed now that new movies are coming out.

yeah that's to bad. I would love to have seen a X-wing: rogue squadron spin off series.

While I have to admit that did look very awesome.. it kind of fits with the way I already feel about JJ Abrams: Great at the visuals, not so great with the story.

Hopefully he'll get the story part right.

I may be smoking crack but isnt Darth Revan waaaay before ROTJ? KOTOR took place a long time before the movies right?

EU got thrown under the bus because most of the EU material (dozens and dozens of books) took place after RotJ and pretty much covers the entirety of the remaining lives of the original characters. If they wanted to reuse those characters for the sequel trilogy (and they clearly did, even if its going to be for lesser roles) that meant either going with one of the pretty terrible EU series, or clearing the slate to do something unique (and something that has the potential to actually be good)

so not only is there retcon for the possibility of Revan in this sequel trilogy, in a universe of sci-fi *and* magic pretty much anything would be possible, they could easily keep the KOTOR/TOR storylines intact and just make Revan thousands of years old from some sort of stasis/Force-ghost re-manifesting somehow/maybe he's just straight up immortal/reincarnation/who knows.

At any rate, even if Revan isn't in the trilogy, I do hope they do something about the nonsesne of the black and white treatment of the Force in the vast majority of Star Wars material. Revan is far and away one of the most compelling Star Wars characters because he is an anti-hero who blurred the lines of light and dark, mastering all aspects of the Force.

So this is set in what year then?

Any main characters from Return of the Jedi have died already?
