Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS)

[Diddly]

Can't say any of this excites me. It seems really fake and fan-made. Sith-3PO? Get out of here.

I did like that shot of the hundreds of Star Destroyers lined up.

[Nicklab]

The Rebel / Resistance fighters coming out of hyperspace looked really cool.  The silhouette of that one larger ship was puzzling.  I've seen people suggest a number of different ships.  The one that stuck out was the Ghost, but I think this ship is much larger.

But those Star Destroyers?!?!  Did anyone else notice that they're not the First Order variant, but Imperial Star Destroyers?

[Jesse James]

The larger ship could perhaps be he one from resistance?  I don’t recall it now from the trailer but it’s a big one in the toon.

I heard a rumor that they might be abandoned ISDs from when the Empire broke up after the battle of Jakku.  If you notice, there aren't very many lights in a majority of them.

I’d dig it if JJ Abrams pulled a plot twist in this film with Rey getting seduced by the dark side and Kylo turning to the light...  It would certainly PO a bunch of fans

Dark Force Rising, anyone?

[Jesse James]

That was the lost fleet of dreadnoughts right? 

[Phrubruh]

Does that mean Thrawn is commanding them?

[P-Siddy]

Just realized I won't get to see this until 3 weeks after it comes out as I'll be out of country with no theaters in the town I'm visiting.  I guess my 36 year streak of seeing the movies opening night ends.

Well, the latest trailer certainly confirms a lot of the JediPaxis spoilers from Reddit...

I was thinking the same thing 

[Jeff]

Disney adding TROS locations to Star Tours ride on 12/20.

Story reveals the name of the ocean moon we see in the trailers - Kef Bir.

[Mister Skeezler]

I wonder why? Endor had large bodies of water if you look at the matte painting of the planet.

[Jesse James]

I’m, personally, thinking it may be a way for them to avoid questions of the “Endor mass destruction” theories and avoid shoving ewoks into the spotlight at all.  Just my personal feelings here.

[Nicklab]

This planet, Kef Bir, is being called an ocean moon.  While the world we saw in ROTJ was the forest moon, which was a satellite of the giant planet Endor.  In the time since ROTJ everyone had taken to just calling the forest moon Endor.  I have to guess that wreckage from DS2 landed in a number of places.  The explosion was impressive, but with any explosion there is going to be debris.  In this case VERY large debris which can be seen streaming away in that shot from the surface of the forest moon at the end of ROTJ.

I think Jesse might be on to something from a story standpoint.  And there's another consideration:  production security!  The forest where those Endor scenes in ROTJ were shot is pretty well known among fans.  Imagine TROS production going on location in California and the hordes of fans who might turn up trying to take it all in.
