You can’t possibly believe they think the movie is so bad that it necessitates a trailer with old footage. It almost seems willfully ignorant to believe something so ridiculous. I’ve seen Michael Bay movies with good trailers and his movies are pure unadulterated garbage.
Or it could be the obvious and it’s the culmination of a film franchise that’s been around for almost half a century finally capping off an epic 9 part story.
I'm sure EP9 will be as ground breaking as the JJ Star Trek films, with all new concepts and stories.
Not sure if it's been discussed in this thread before.
Do the Star Wars movies ever get remade? If so when? Within 10 years? 25 years?
Wasn't that already done? The Force Awakens was pretty much a new hope.
I would hope that they don't actually go out and remake the OT. All they can do is make a worse version of it because it won't have the "The is new" impact of the originals.

Why?
They are much better off just doing a new story than remaking the original. No one is going to prefer a remake to the original. Look at the ongoing outrage from when Lucas tried to update the effects or the new actor they used to play young Han Solo.
Lots of movies get remade over time, many get remade over and over. Just interesting to wonder if something like Star Wars will ever get remade.
I think there's some franchises that are too entrenched in pop culture to ever get the full remake treatment. Back to the Future, E.T., Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, etc. Sure the later two have had recent sequels, but I don't see the core movies ever getting remade. Ghostbusters should have been in that zone too, and with how badly that reboot bombed I don't think studios will want to risk more fan outrage

I wouldn't want to see any of the Skywalker movies remade.
As it stands I think Disney is making a good decision in saying that they're ending the Skywalker story thread.
This is a galaxy with almost unlimited possibilities in terms of stories and characters and they showed that with Rogue One for example. It would be better served if Disney expanded so to speak the galaxy that they play in.
There are so many other stories that are screaming to be told on screen
The founding of the republic. The first split of the jedi that lead to the 100 years of darkness.
there was a great story in the old republic of the Republic being ruled by religious anti-alien zealots. Their version of the inquisition. The founding of the Sith Empire and the war between the Republic and Sith Empire.
You could do other stories that don't involve the Jedi and Sith. You could fast forward 100 years and a galaxy without force users.
I don't know that Star Wars fans would accept a recycling of the original movies or any of the original 9 movies. you'd get huge criticisms like "Nick Jonas sucks as Luke". Or Scarlett Johansson is a terrible Leia. Or Jonathon Pryce is ok as Palpatine but Ian was better.

Am I the only one who though that Arlen Ehrenreich was a good young Solo?
He was about as good as you can get. I was just pointing it out as an example of the severe types of criticism you get from messing with the OG material.
Pure speculation on my part, but I'll use the spoiler tags anyway.
Spoiler!
My guess is that the title, Rise of Skywalker, refers to a new force religion based around balance named Skywalker. So it is not about an individual, i.e. Rey or even Ben being a Skywalker. Luke was the Last Jedi and there are no more now. Ben and Rey will team up to defeat the Palpatine, with Ben dying, because like Vader, he can't come back fully and everyone pretend nothing happened. A lot of the plot will mirror Return of the Jedi in that aspect.
Also, what is all this clone talk? I mean, isn't the very definition of a clone an animal that is genetically identical? Rey is not exactly genetically identical to Palpatine now is she? You know, being a bit shorter, a girl, and all...
Now it's impossible to take Hux's character seriously. So hopefully he's phased out in this one for palpatine and TKOR rather than continuing to be a walking, painfully unfunny joke. He could've been like Tarkin but instead became Jar-Jarkin.
Hux was already a caricature of a leader in The Force Awakens. He was over the top and nothing like Tarkin, so I don't think anything really changed in The Last Jedi for him. I didn't take him seriously from the start. His job has always seemed to be the villain that cursed scooby-doo and the darned kids for ruining his great plans.
He was about as good as you can get. I was just pointing it out as an example of the severe types of criticism you get from messing with the OG material.
In no way do I mean it as a criticism because I thought he did a great job, but...
If you ever watch 'Age of Adeline' they had to cast a young Harrison Ford.

Ok, imagining a Back to the Future remake convinced me, you're probably right.
Maybe after a huge technology jump (fully immersive VR) in 50 years.
Or maybe at that point rather than a remake it'll be a remaster.. AI that can make the movies look good at super high resolution or 3D or VR or whatever while still being the original content.

But certainty is an absurd one.
I've been wracking my brain on the Palpatine question, on how he could appear living in the future long after his death. I mean we could go with the whole Palpatine essence transfer into clones, that they did in the Legends EU which was actually really silly. I keep going back to him in a recorded message or holocron causing the deeper fall or Ren or the fall of Rey.
But what if they incorporate the story line of the World between Worlds from Rebels. We saw that Ezra traveled into the past and save Ashoka in the Jedi Temple on Lothal. We also saw that Palpatine had accessed the World between World and even managed to bring part of the temple to tempt Ezra with the ability to save his parents and change the future.
So lets say that's the theory, how does Palpatine get there when he's falling at terminal velocity into the Death Star 2's reactor?
Well we know in Star Wars dead is not always death. We saw Maul survive a fall into a bottomless pit while cut in half. There's always the theory that Bobba Fett survived his fall into the Sarlac pit, even though that's legend. Even in Legends, Palpatine found a way to treat death.
So . . . lets say that somehow Palpatine on the way down managed to release his spirit and he had taken a chunk of the Lothal temple back to his castle of doom in Coruscant. Could he access the World between Worlds and actually pull himself out during his fall down the reactor shaft? We've seen that it can be done. He could then literally pop into existence anywhere minutes after his death and go into hiding and bide his time while the First Order rises to destroy the Resistance, then with all of the stuff that he seeded through the unknown region, he could spring forth with his massive fleet of Star Destroyers and soldiers, wipe out the First Order and take over a shattered galaxy.
To Palpatine the First Order would be as much of an enemy as the Resistance, especially considering that they had failed to finish off the Resistance.
