We live in a beautiful bloody world :') 

When I first heard about this, I was a bit worried that it would end up resembling a straight to video sequel. What a relief then, to see such a promising teaser that looks and feels like the real deal.

 

Whoever picked out the locations has done a superb job, they're completely nailing the aesthetic. I can't wait to find out how that subway platform-looking thing is going to come into play.

Probably bs, but very interesting though.

Trailer #2. The emotion building throughout and ending it with the force theme, just great.

A new TV spot appeared the other day, with a number of new scenes including one where a rocket launcher is fired at one of the AT-ATs.

 

 

 

Awesome.

 

I can't believe how quickly the release date for this has snuck up on me. It only seems like five minutes since @toodarnhot started the topic, and now here we are with just a month to go.

I like the old fashioned/retro poster (which looks like it's getting back in vogue):

 

 

The two chinese actors are famous in Asia.  

 

This film looks good in the stills but has the risk of being wooden. I like the set pieces.

 

I hope it will be better than the Force Awakened (which sucked)
