I guess you would call me a casual Star Wars fan, as what I know of star wars is only what has been in the movies (which i've watched a million times). As a fan of GOT, I find that I'd like to take a deeper dive into star wars, but the animated stuff just doesn't grab me and I find that I have to force myself to watch them. Is there another avenue for me to take a deeper dive here and if so, can you recommend how to do it (i.e. book series, or something)?

It’s called reading comprehension. They were talking about hidden fortress in the interview, not Rey. The author totally clickbaited a quote out of context. [Reply]

I have no idea where you're getting your information, as it wasn't in the link that I provided. [Reply]

I'm really not sure I can handle an on-screen death for Luke.
However, IF he goes out guns blazing and showing what a monumental badass he eventually became, I can handle it. I need it to be even more awe-inspiring than Vader kicking ass and taking names in Rogue One.
Do not let Luke turn into a pussy husk and then die for shits and giggles. If he goes home on his shield, I'll be okay with that (since we're pretty sure at this point that he's just living a miserable existence and kinda waiting for death). [Reply]

That seems like a super simple, kinda stupid take on it and presumes the trailer is 100% honest and literal.
I'm sure the burning home is a flashback kind of sequence of the destroyed Jedi Temple and not 'Rey destroying his home'. And as has been noted, she's putting the light saber down in that shot, they've just reversed it for the trailer.
Not much worth taking away from that one, to be honest. [Reply]
