my first thought at that kite festival shot in the trailer, when the little puff of smoke/firework/whatever goes off was that it reminded me of those cool colorful smoke flares in mad max fury road. followed immediately by the thought: "why in fuck have they not gotten george miller to do one of the stupid side movies"

Miller spent two years on someone else's IP (the Justice League movie including Toecutter / Immortan Joe actor Hugh Keays-Byrne as J'onn J'onnz) only to have it axed days before shooting began.
He has spent three of the four years since Fury Road fighting Warner Brothers to pay him for making Fury Road, with the intention of signing a deal to make another three Mad Maxes if they agree to abide by the contract for the last one.
Dude is 74, and I hope he has not given 13 seconds thought to taking a few years out & directing Alden Ehrenreich in Solo 2 for Disney.

I assume Miller was one of the 300 directors who passed on "Return of the Jedi." Well, three or four, but still.

I was talking to a friend recently about how before The Force Awakens, the character and plot material in trailers/interviews made it relatively clear what we were in for, what kind of things would happen, where we'd end up by the movie's end. While not without faults, The Last Jedi kind of blew that out of the water and I'm just wanting to be shown something new and completely unexpected. It's freeing!

xp And someone else pointed out that that appears to be the Colossus from Resistance behind it.
― I don't get wet because I am tall and thin and I am afraid of people (Eliza D.), Monday, 21 October 2019 18:28 (four years ago) link
Eliza, should I try checking out Resistance again? It seemed aimed at a younger audience than Rebels, which I enjoyed a lot, when I tried a few episodes.
― mh, Monday, 21 October 2019 18:31 (four years ago) link
IMO it took about 4 episodes to get good, and then it got really good. It's definitely pitched a bit younger but the storytelling is pretty solid and it's not afraid to explore more adult themes, too.

I thought TFA was pretty much fine, and TLJ was very good, and I am certain that JJ will make me angry with this one.

Also spotted in this epic shot are Nebulons, Brah’atoks, U-Wings, Lucrehulks, MC75s, Nebulon Bs, Sphyrna-Classes (aka the Hammerhead Cruiser from Knights of the Old Republic), what looks like a Baleen-class heavy freighter (the ship Han Solo and Chewie have in The Force Awakens), a Defender Class Corvette, maybe even a YT-2400 light freighter, Lancer-class pursuit craft, a MG-100 StarFortress SF-17, a Vakbeor-class cargo frigate, a Free Virgillia-class Bunkerbuster, and many, many more. All of which are real things on Wookieepedia if you want to check.
So hop to.
