You know I love me some Star Wars, and with the launch of the FINAL trailer for Episode 9 you know I have some things to say about it.
If you some how missed seeing this trailer. Here it is:
I'm kind of excited for this movie. Not because it's the "end" of the Skywalker story in the Star Wars universe, but because I'm more curious from a storytelling standpoint how they plan on wrapping up a trilogy of trilogies. JJ Abrams is a masterful entertainer, but he's only ever finished one series, and that was Felicity. Alias, Lost, Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek, and Star Wars were all shows and film series that he's started, but he hasn't really proven that he can wrap a series up. Even if the story falls short there's plenty of cool stuff to see and enjoy. I'm a fan of the Star Wars universe, not just the stories. I'm also a HUGE fan of JJ Abrams' work so I know this is going to be rip-roaring good time.
Here's 5 things I love about this new trailer:
- A practical puppet working on Threepio's brain
- The Tantive IV (or a ship that looks like it) flying through the jungle
- Riding horses on Star Destroyers
- Space Iceberg
- Palpatine's spikey throne pulled straight from old Ralph McQuarrie concept drawings: LINK
Bonus Like: That shot of all the ships flying together. OH MAN. And the best part was spying the Ghost, which if you don't know is the ship in the series Star Wars Rebels. Rebels, IMO, is one of the greatest things to ever to come out from Lucasfilm. You owe it to yourself to watch it.
