That posh Star Wars photo is wonderful. More of that please, feels so in place yet so fresh.

You know, you're absolutely right.  I think what's bothered me about it is how different it is to the usual SW imagery (even to the opera scene in RotS) - but that's actually good.  Heaven knows there wasn't anything visually unfamiliar in TFA, unless you count snow and trees together.

That picture reminds me of something...

A dandy little figurine sized alien croupier pushing chips up and down gambling tables with a little silver shovel may be the thing that sells me on TLJ

Wowsers! Is that a Zilkin, like the loveable Col Gascon from Clone Wars?

Double post: lots of fresh visuals to like there, some genuinely great practical creatures, and I like the expansion of the red-swatch motif from the first one to cover almost everything. And it looks like Maz is back, great news!

Looks like the sentient puffin guys and Falkor horses  are going to make or break this one, but I'm glad they at least took that chance.

I loved everything about that Sizzle reel 'cept one thing...

Ryan Johnson's knitted scorpion jumper was horrific! :p

That's a lobster cardigan, Mr Wells, and yes, it is horrific.

Lobster Johnson?

Twitter indicates he's a fan of the movie-of-the-same-name, FWIW.

So it is! In my defence, I recoiled in horror when I saw it first time.

A bit insensitive wearing that with Ackbar wandering about...

I don't see why - it'd be like having a picture of a gorilla on a jumper, while socialising with humans.

Some spoilery TLJ press photos.

Nice redesign for Uncle Travelling Luke, and that's the first time I've liked anything about [spoiler]Snoke[/spoiler] - pretty disturbing stuff in the flesh! Cropping out the banjaxed bits of his face, is there a wee touch of[spoiler] Kenobi[/spoiler]about yer man there? 

[spoiler]Praetorian Guard[/spoiler] is rather by-the-numbers, and it seems a pity that they didn't do more with [spoiler]Finn and Ren's [/spoiler]injuries. But yeah, some decent costuming there.

Love the Rey costume, fantastic. Less keen on Mr Grumpy Chops Teen Gaiman's look but hey lets see how it all looks in the actual film.

Now the question is do I exit from spoilers now I did that last time and I was all grumpy chuff when TFA came out so maybe I should just spoil myself silly!
