You better seize it...

You bet I will. You know i like this musical when I say "Seize the Day" is my ringtone and Jeremy Jordan singing the climactic "Santa Fe" line is my text tone lol.

News

Good Morning America says they will have a Star Wars announcement tomorrow.

My guess is it will be the announcement for the last Jedi trailer.

Rumor is that both Mark Hamill and Daisy Ridley will be on the show to make the announcement. I have to leave for work around 7:50 am, I hope they're on before I have to leave.

I sense a tremor in the force which may indicate that I'll have a head cold
until the announcement is made - maybe I'll be late to work!

Any news or rumors of Disney After Hours starting again in May??? I've seen the question asked on a few threads but they were all from a month ago or more so thought I'd ask again!! Thanks!

I'm not really sure what else the announcement could be other than that the teaser trailer is debuting at Celebration.

Woah...my socks literally disintegrated after that major announcement...

Disney just keeps on bringing the thunder.

(Hint: charity is great...it's not that. We old school fans just REALLY need to know if this movie is gonna suck or not...gonna have to calm the waters...chances aren't great right now)

I am in awe at your negativity. I can understand it when it comes to the theme parks ( although the work and plans of the last five years show a new commitment to improvement and renewal) but I can't imagine what Disney has done with the star wars IP since acquiring it that would leave you to believe the upcoming film would "suck".
I suppose optimism and benefit of the doubt are just outside of your capabilities, even in situations such as the making of star wars films where most people would say the benefit of the doubt was earned with their last two efforts.

You give me too much credit...

I'm pretty happy with Disney's handling of Star Wars overall.

But the force awakens is a reboot that has no legs...have you tried rewatching it?

That's why I'm worried about this movie and really this movie alone.
It can't be that telegraphed/dull.

Yes, I watched it 3 times, and I understand your concern, but I think that what Disney excels at, is complex story building and long range, thoughtful, story development. I think even a cursory glance at the ancillary material coming from the star wars story group (novels, comics, TV) would show they have a direction above and beyond rebooting an old story. Those elements that follow a familiar arc, I feel do so more as homage than crutch.
The Force Awaken's wa's a bridge and introduction, just as A New Hope was. We didn't come close to fully understanding the story being told until well into Empire. I think this next movie will reveal much more about what and whose story is being told.

If you would have told people after the orginal release of star wars, that the story being told was actually the tragedy of Darth Vader, or the fall and reredemption of Anakin Skywallkern they would have laughed at you.

We dont yet know if this is Luke's story or Rey's story or Kylo Ren's or Snokes.

This movie introduced us to a moment in time and a group of characters. The next will be the movie we start to understand the story.
I assume it will be both new and compelling. If you do not, then I find your lack of faith disturbing
