What it is is too dang small, though.

I mean, look at the size of Rey (not a very large person to begin with!) standing over to it. There is no way you could have a human sitting upright in that cockpit.

😕

Do you guys actually watch stuff? Or just assume things?

Is Star Wars Battlefront II canon? If so didn’t that 100% confirm the Emperor was still around in some sense with that holo-projector droid? He was still giving orders wasn’t he?

Posthumously. You need to read some comics.

And yes it's canon. It's all canon now, the memo is back in 2014, go find it.

I really don’t. I can just ask. And is it really posthumously if he’s still a force ghost who can exert his will on the physical world? Like Yoda?

You're... really reading into this in ways that are extreeemely easy to read up on, but let me just spell it out.

Palpatine had a directive ready when he died. A bunch of droids with his face holographically represented, would give out his orders for Operation Cinder to his most trusted Admirals. Then that order was carried out.

We do not know the manner in which he was ghosting around. But he definitely wasn't active immediately after death. If he was, he wasn't directing this.

Really, you can find "Shattered Empire" extremely easily. It's short and only four issues. Just look up Operation Cinder.

This part of the presentation kind of implied that Ian McDiarmid's  b  ack. I mean, how else do you interpret them pulling this  .  

Back, yes. I don’t think he was questioning back or not, so much as he was questioning alive.

unless Endor is more Earth-like, or Ewok Adventure like... DeathStar pieces could've landed all over the place, not just 'Redwood' region.

Apparently you don't understand Star Wars planetology. All planets are a single terrain/climate type.

And while it's been hilarious to read 8 pages of rampant speculation:

Everything you just said about this trailer is wrong.

Because that's what they want.

Dark Empire and it's million Palpatine Clones that were stopped by a fetus inside of Leia....

Sorry, I definitely wasn't clear. When I say "all of Star Wars," I meant "all of the movies and TV shows." I've read and know very little about the Extended Universe stuff.

Also, it's got a comm antenna in the same location as on the TIE/sf, and has red paint in corresponding places, so it does seem likely that this is a "Special Forces Interceptor".

Not everyone has the time or desire or the money to read comic books. And that's OK.

The opening scene where Rey jumps over the Silencer makes me very worried for the film, reminded me too much of nuns in space with Leia.

First of all, that's not a Silencer.

LOL, we got ourselves an Expert.

Palpatine is just going to end up appearing in a vision Rey has when she enters the Death Star ruins. Like the one she had when she found Anakin's lightsaber.

I-it's not.

It sure does look like one.

Silencer cockpits are hexagonal, not round.

It isn't a TIE/Vn Silencer...

I'm shocked that there are both people that don't find this trailer/Ep IX hype compelling and people who aren't willing to go see Ep IX in theaters. To each their own though! I'm pumped. Looks fun.

I'm totally meh. At this point, I still don't know who the Resistance and First Order are, or why they're fighting. I don't care about the new characters, and I stopped caring about the old characters. There's no tension, no stakes, and no drama. Just hype.

Grim fact: The Rise of Skywalker is statistically unlikely to be above average in quality.

Opinion: I think the trailer is fun to watch.

You are right, Rey jumping over what ever that ship is, is a much better idea. My apologies, the starship is what is the important point here. Bravo.

It's a made up story in a made up Universe. Anything can happen if Disney says it happened.

Nothing like a tiny bit of new SW footage to get people scrapping.

Place had been kinda calm and friendly for a bit there.

Prepare yourselves. It begins.
