i just saw this for the first time today and must have watched it with my kids 5 times. And then disected and discussed it. I feel like you bisous- did NOT like the Rian Johnson directed film. Let me rephrase that- the action and photography was excellent and I was entertained. But it did not feel like a Star Wars movie. Leia floating in space? Luke cowardly “ghost” fighting with Kylo Ren instead of fighting him face to face? The super-powerful Snoke not sensing that Kylo was about to kill him with a Jedi mind trick? Luke giving up on the Jedi? I could go on and on.
Dont get me wrong, JJ Abrams’ Star Wars episode wasn’t perfect. But the Force Awakens felt like a Star Wars movie. Maybe because it was so much like A New Hope. But it felt familiar, had the original gang, some new characters that fit with the gang well, was fun, sad, and exciting. This new teaser has that same feeling. So I have hope for it.
Oh, and of course they had to bring Lando back. They really needed one of the original trilogy characters to reel us original fans back in (after pushing us away with The Last Jedi). I hope he gets to reconnect with his robot girlfriend (whose consciousness is in his ship).
