I love that they're giving all of these stars cameos.

Lego set's have gotten so expensive. I thought about getting the resistance transport pod but it's 30 dollars!

Give it a couple of months and Wal-Mart will have it for about 24.

 

[Tuskin38]

Most of the price is due to licencing costs.

Branded Lego is always more expensive then standard sets.

I have the Poe's X-Wing and it's great piece to look at. The Resistance pod would make a good companion

Finn and Rose and BB-8 go looking for Poe's legendary X-Wing. The stories you can make with the lego sets are endless.

There are rumors going around that the next trailer will come out on Monday, with it premiering during Monday Night Football. We are just over two months away from the release date so this seems like a good time for another trailer.

 

[Tuskin38]

The rumours are correct

Two short teases

Maybe it's just me (I hope it's just me), but this movie has felt curiously buzz-free up to now. Yeah, the Porgs are cute (while not - yet? - Ewok-level annoying), and Luke's last line in the first trailer sent chills down everyone's back, but other than that... nothing. I can't put my finger on it, but I haven't felt this blase about any main-saga SW film before (not even AOTC, which at least promised Jedi-vs-Fett battles). I hope the new trailer tonight turns that around, at least for me.

Rian Johnson has warned people to not watch the trailer if they don't want to know to much, but he also said it's good. So it sounds like spoilerphobes might want to avoid it.

Sounds like a form of hype that really isn't needed for a Star Wars trailer.....

Kinda useless advice, considering it'll probably be playing in front of every movie in theaters between now and December...

Also, the chances of not running into some spoilery clickbait title or accompanying image between now and then are virtually none.

 

[JD]

That is a good point. I hate when sites post open spoilers in their article titles or on social media. I've had a couple thing couple things ruined for me that way.

I don't think it's hype so much as warning people that there are some spoilery things in the trailer.

 

[Tuskin38]

I'm with JD on this. Its a warning, not a hype maker.

A new poster premiering tonight

Damn gorgeous!

I love that Leia is front and center.

 

[Tuskin38]

Poe is in the right side with all the bad guys

Also Rey has a wound on he right arm

 

[Nightowl1701]

Poe is in the right side with all the bad guys

I'm gonna go with 'brainwashed sleeper agent who doesn't even know he's been programmed.' Probably from back when Kylo Ren gave him his Force-enhanced mind probe. Any takers?
