I love this photo! I have to ask, though...how did it stay so intact upon re-entry? You'd think at least the command tower would have buckled! Yeah, that's what I took away from this photo!!! LOL!
SO! Since the second trailer for the most anticipated movie was released, there have been a whole slew of stories accompanying it, whether it's about what people think about it, or what it might possibly mean as far as the story goes. So let's take a look at a few of the thoughts from the people over at www.wegotthiscovered.com!
They start out by marveling (and with good reason!) the picture above. There's a downed X-Wing fighter and a Star Destroyer. This plays a tribute to the original trilogy, while letting us know that the war between the Rebels and the Empire continued to rage. They both crash-landed on a planet called Jakku...not Tatooine, as many of us suspected. This new planet is where the new story begins, and looks to be where Rey and Finn first meet.
The next thing they talk about is the voice over given by Luke Skywalker. They fail to mention that Luke refers to his father in the present tense, though, and don't seem to think that he's playing apart in the new story, except as a reminder of the old guard, since we see that someone has taken his melted and deformed helmet from his grave. They seem convinced that the figure from the trailer who lays his hand on R2D2's dome is Luke, however JJ Abrams likes to misdirect people with his trailers. My suggestion is that it might not be Luke at all (why remove the synthetic skin from your hand?) but may be, in fact, Anakin. How he still is alive, I have no idea, but it seems to me that he'll be playing a part in this continued universe. Here's the picture I'm referring to below:
They also talk about how it appears that it's Leia that is taking possession of the lightsaber that's being handed to her, and they wonder if she has in fact become a Jedi herself. I don't believe this to be true. Early indications of the film lead me to believe that it's being presented to her by Rey, who discovered it on the planet Jakku, and is trying to return it to it's rightful owner. Since Luke has been in a self-imposed exile, the leader of the Rebel Alliance seems to be a pretty good choice as far as who to turn it over to.
The next scene that they talk about is the one featuring the X-Wings. They're flying over a lake and the pilots really seem to be enjoying themselves. I think this aspect of the movie is to get us excited for the upcoming stand-alone film, Star Wars: Rogue One. That's not to say that they won't play a large part in the upcoming film, but my guess is that they will be involved with a subplot of some sort. There's a new Imperial weapon that can cause utter destruction. Are they going to be tasked with capturing it's plans like their brethren before them were tasked with stealing the plans for the Death Star? Just a suggestion...
Next, they talk about Rey and Finn. It appears that they are being hunted by the Empire. Why? Is it because of what they are in possession of (i.e. lightsaber) or because Finn is a deserter? On this point, we'll have to wait until the movie comes out.
There's a scene in the trailer that shows a bunch of new Stormtroopers on a snow covered planet. Is it Hoth? I doubt it, because the new desert planet in the film is Jakku and not Tatooine, why return to an already familiar planet? That's just my opinion, though.
The last thing that I want to discuss they they bring up is the scene where Han Solo and Chewbacca are on the Falcon, and Han says," Chewie...we're home." They wonder why Han and Chewie have been away from the Falcon. Rumors on the web suggest that Han and Chewie (who really looks good for his age! No gray hairs or anything!) have been in command of a captured Super Star Destroyer and are commanding parts of the Rebel Alliance. They suggest that the Falcon is in Rey's possession, because it's rumored that she is Han and Leia's daughter, she just doesn't know this fact yet. If this is true, then how did she become in possession of the Falcon?
I love talking about all of this stuff! I'm even more excited for the film to be released this December. What are your thoughts on the trailer? Did you see anything that I failed to mention, and what are your thoughts on it? Let me know in the comments section below!
