[StarLord]

I think Poe's lightsaber is on the blink.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Fake Jedi

Okay, goosebumps.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Okay, goosebumps.

Really? It did nothing for me.

Love that from the photos it looks like Rey/Fin and Poe are all going to be together more in this movie. I loved Rey and Fin being together in TFA and missed that big time in TLJ and of course have not really seen Rey with Poe at all in the last 2 movies.

The feels.....

 

[JOE]

This movie is going to be amazing, I can feel it. Disney knows the magnitude of this conclusion. They’re not going to pull any punches.

Very cool but it's interesting that they CGI'd out the cigarette that Harrison was originally holding in his right hand when he, Mark and Carrie are walking through the Death Star set in 1976.

JJ is gonna be showing a new clip on Good Morning America in a few minutes.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Yeah I got tears in my eyes

 

[JOE]

JJ is gonna be showing a new clip on Good Morning America in a few minutes.

Has this aired yet?

[Gothamsknight]

Fantastic clip! It's so star wars lol

 

[JOE]

JJ knows how to make an incredible movie. Wish he did the second one as well, but at least we have him to finish it off. Very "Star Wars" clip lol.

 

[BatLobster]

This is the way.

 

[terry78]

JJ is on good morning America now.

 

[StarLord]

 

[Mani-Man]

Man this all looks so incredible good, makes me sigh at Last Jedi even more.
I always defend the movie and like it, would do everything in there different but i like it enough...but imagine what build up we could have had with Abrams doing Last Jedi, what could have been.

 

[Gothamsknight]

I just finished my full rewatching of the star wars saga in celebration of the rise of skywalker. The Force Awakens is easily still my favorite of all the new films. I also still like The Last Jedi as well. The movie holds up well, tbh. but I too also wonder what JJs episode VIII would have been like. anyway, Im so pumped for TROS and we only have a few weeks left!!

J.J. Abrams reveals the real running time for 'The Rise of Skywalker'

The Rise of Skywalker is “two hours and 21 minutes,” Abrams says (and then added “I believe,” which could add a minute or so of end-credits wiggle room)

 

[antsman41]

...that’s it, ugh.

 

[Gothamsknight]

thats definitely shorter than I was expecting but im confident JJ made a "tight" movie that will flow at a good pace.

 

[terry78]

Not every epic has to be 4 hours long.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Not every epic has to be 4 hours long.

Yup. Sometimes a longer running time for the sake of making it "feel epic" isn't a good idea. I felt like Endgame being 3 hours was so unneeded.
