I still haven't watched an episode of that show, but that trailer looks alright.

I posted some of it earlier in the thread, its a really high quality fan film and pretty well done.
Normally Disney/Lucas don't mind fan films and allow people to make them as long as they're not profiting. But in this case I think they used John Williams music in it.

Lucasfilm has stepped in.

I suspect that lines up with some recent comments made by Anthony Daniels:

How strange. I am receiving images of something amazing coming towards us - travelling over decades through space and time - reaching out to all humans on this planet with its message. What could it be? Should I be afraid? Should you? Stay tuned.
Travelling decades.. something from the OT trilogy? But what? We already had Yoda..

I have this absolute fear that they're going to introduce a new big bad from the unknown regions that forces the Resistance and First Order to put aside their differences and fight together.
Of course it'll be Ezra Bridger who's fallen to the darkside, Grand Admiral Thrawn, his Sith Troopers oh and the ghost of Darth Plageius

LoL, well "The Great Beyond" has to be where Ezra and Thrawn went isn't it? Or something like it anyway.
What I would love in episode 9 is some closure on Rey's heritage, no matter what it is I don't care lets just get a good answer. Ren to die, and not turn to the light before he does. We've seen that, I want Ren to be to far gone to save and Rey has no choice but to kill him. Force Ghost Luke pushing Rey to heights he could never reach. And for Ewoks to show up and dance.

That being said, I really liked Solo, so what the hell do I know?
You know a lot. We went over this in this thread already, Solo was a good movie, it just had horrible timing following everyones disappointment with Episode 7.
Ep 7 does good, Solo has better numbers... or if they just pushed it to Christmas instead of 4ish months later.. and we might still have the rumoured Boba Fett and Obi-Wan movies in development. Apparently now the former is scrapped entirely and the latter has been dead air.
The synopsis for the Fett movie was so good to, basically taking the part in ESB with all the bounty hunters being told by Vader to hunt Solo and expanding on it, exploring the different paths they went on and their relationships with each other. Just a great movie of them screwing each other over and fleshing out some fan favourites on the big screen.
Screw you Rian Johnson.

I don't think that's all on Rian Johnson. Let's be honest while EP 8 wasn't great it also isn't as bad as the fan base made it out to seem and not bad enough to boycott all things Star Wars. One thing with the Star Wars fan base is that they are pretty toxic with anything that changes their view of the original trilogy and it's characters.
So think that the biggest problems that Solo had was that it was a "re-imagining" of a core OT character and where it fell in the Disney release calendar.
1) I think if they changed the movie from being Solo centric to Lando centric that it would have done better. The core fanbase don't want to see the core 4 (Hans, Luke, Leia, Vader) changed at all. Think if the movie was Lando focused with Hans as a sub character with a more secondary role it would have had more hype. Think that's a big reason Rogue One was successful, it focused on secondary characters, and gave you just enough Badass Vader to tie it back to the OT.
2) It made no sense for Solo to be released May 10th, a whole 13 days after Avengers Infinity War, and 4 months after Ep 8.
I'd almost guarantee that if Solo released on December 14th and only had to go head to head with Spider-Man Into The SpiderVerse, Aquaman, Bumblebee, and Mary Poppins as it's biggest holiday movie competition that it would have done much better.

There was nothing wrong with Ep 7. It was great.
Ep 8 though....

I liked episode 7, I did think it was too much of a reboot of ANH, and thought that the villain suite was a lot weaker then Vader/Emperor/Tarkin.
Oh and the scene where they showed the Death Star and then Star Killers gun made to look like it could shoot out deathstars was really cringy.
I also thought Phasma was a complete waste in the first movie and they really missed an opportunity.
I also thought Phasma had great potential. Seems very strange to me that they didn't make better use of her. Rian Johnson clearly wanted to make use of female characters, why not use the one that's already there and awesome. Instead he didn't use the character much at all, and then literally throws her into a giant hole.
While I found Phasma to be a relatively balanced and nuanced character, Johnson went with General Hux as the main side villain, who is basically a cartoon character.
Gwendoline Christie is also a great and well trained actor. I have no idea why she wasn't used more in TLJ.

You know its funny because Phasma was just so badly executed.
With Boba Fett they spent Empire establishing him as a legit bad a$$, then they killed him in a silly way in Jedi.
With TFA she just stood there looking shiny, when it came time to test her she was stupid and a coward. Then in TLJ, they started establishing her, and then she got her face kicked in by what was basically a lesser Storm Trooper. She looked awesome but she was never made to be awesome, or brave, or anything but a homer Simpson in nice Armor.
Now from the nerd point of view.
The whole shiny thing really goes against the whole concept of the Storm Trooper ideal.
When you saw Trooper officers you either saw them in their black uniforms like on the Tantive in ANH. or on the Death Star
Or you saw officers in the same armor as the regular troops except they had different colored rank shoulder tabs.
What makes the concept of Storm Troopers awesome were that they were faceless, relentless, and they all looked the same like cogs in a machine, they didn't differentiate because they were made this way by design.
