Ha. I've been avoiding this thread so year assuming full of spoilers...fortunately just thought I'd check the last pages before my leaving my thoughts having just watched it...i best find the spoiler thread!
Non-spoiler thoughts but still in spoiler in case somebody doesn't want none of nuthin.
Spoiler:
I liked it on the whole but I feel like the good stuff in it is just masking the bad that it's in it. Of which there is quite a bit when you go back over it in your mind, well in my mind anyway. Visually, of course, it's stunning with quite a few shots that really stick with you after. Some lovely design of new creatures and spaces too and the right amount of practical effects. Just go along for the ride and I think you'll find yourself coming out enjoying it. I mean, it's more proper Star Wars and that's great on its own!
Yeah, it's not doing it for me either. Though it did make me realise that I actually would have quite liked to see a Lando movie.
(Han Solo was cool because we got to know him without knowing anything about him. A movie about his backstory can only detract. Whereas Lando's a character that we never quite got to know well enough the first time round, but looked like he might have been fun to spend more time with...)
If not for a Han Solo film, the trailer looks fine. No "Chewie we're home" levels of emotion...in fact no emotion at all from me.
It does look very Rogue Oney.....And that young Han is a complete no.
My super obvious prediction :
Spoiler:
"Bend the knee" Dany will die....in Solo's arms no less! And it will be all very Twilight.
