The dude and the two kids' reactions are too much, it is kinda scary! It has to be their plan to over-react this way, surely? They're lined up in front of a camera, knowingly filming a reaction video while watching a teaser trailer. But still. The emotes man.
You have to click the title in the video to watch it now...
It's fake as fuck. Sorry to say it. The only genuine person in that video is the grandpa (I presume he is their granpa). They look too often to the camera, the kids try to clap for the second time but no one else is clapping and they are confused as fuck. Cringe.
Also the older girl looks like Lexi Belle.
I don't get all that reaction videos, not a single one is genuine. You can't be genuine knowing you are being filmed and later you will show this on YT. I can get that a preson can get exicted by a trailer but not to this level of emotions like you were blind for your whole life and suddenly you started seeing for the first time in your life.

Of course he will. That's why he's emo. It's been already set up and if they change their plan it will suck because we already expect and anticipate it.
In order to stay just a bad guy he needs a different persona.

Old dudes like the Red Letter Media people bringing up the words 'nerd' and 'geek' to use it negatively is like going back in time.
Red Letter Media needs to tone it down a bit for me to find them funny. Their last video, the Nerd Coffin stuff etc, yeah it wasn't my kind of humor; though I admittedly chuckled at a few things in their past Nerd Crew episodes.
You do get it that they're actual nerds and geeks and are doing these to laugh at all the pretty fake hired people for ign/collider/mtv/etc who pretend to be geeks and nerds to draw in an audience... right?
people who have no idea what geek/nerd culture is about... right?
People who would advertise things like Nerd Coffin.
People who would advertise things like Geek insurance.
You do get that it's a whole joke making fun of all the pseudo-nerd things on the mainstream internet media.
Please tell me that you do.
@the creepy as fuck family. LOL WHAT?! Those better be his kids cause he looks like he has a basement full of 'em to replace these ones in case he doesn't get enough likes/subscribers/comments
It is cool that they use this imagery in the Last Jedi, but not as 'apparent' as the poster to the right, but a little more like the one to the left.
If they hadn't messed the Last Jedi teaser poster up with the faces of Luke and Kylo Ren, it'd channel some clean 70-80's sci-fi vibes. The red/black color works.
The one to the left of the ones you linked, the one that isn't completely destroyed by high contrast colors, looks really cool. Mark Hamill's face looks similar to him at that time, but the princess doesn't resemble Carrie Fisher. The one in the high-contrasted color poster fails to resemble any of the actors.
Indeed, the left one was used in the old VHS/Beta release back in the 80s, at least here in southern europe. The right one is an artist rendition afaik. I agree on your thoughts, the right one looks overdone by a large stretch, didn't see it before.
My point was that they "channeled" the old artwork as well as the Jedi Order logo. We live in a rehash era
Kid gets powers
kid trains to use powers
people try to corrupt kid
Yes, the Star Wars story. At least the universe is great, story wise it has never been (and probably never will be) that spectacular. Still very watchable and enjoyable though, this new trailer looks interesting enough and I'm looking forward to watching it

Like they say, "Me, personally, don't want this type of 'humor' to trend."
I've got plenty of friends who love cheap humor that often involves an ingredient of putting others down in the process. It has to be made obvious to people beyond Red Letter Media's online SomethingAwful'esque/rotten.com cliques. I don't say this type of humor is 'wrong', full stop, I don't, but ME, personally, don't want or need this shit.
On Red Letter Media's Nerd Crew-series of videos; I get the idea and I've seen the comparison videos that show some of the sources fueling their segment. They're totally right: "People do stuff for money."; that includes acting hyped or over-praising something.
I'd applaud Red Letter Media's "discovery" if it was presented in a more obvious way, either prior or as an outro to the segments themselves. "It was a joke to show how fake some of the these YT shows can get". Aaaah, we get it now, oh right, yeah, so... why do RLM care about these YouTube shows enough to make fun of them this way; is it to make these shows they're targeting change their approach? Is what they're doing wrong?; is Red Letter Media possibly generating views and clicks based on presenting an exaggerated, extreme view on something, on someone, on a group of people? Kinda like the YouTube shows hyper-magnifying their own interest in an IP for clicks and love from sponsors?
I've shown one of their Nerd Crew videos to a few friends, and without context, yes it triggered some laughs initially, but boy did it take a turn; it looks like some weird-ass shaming video of movie and fiction fandom in general; that means it makes fans, who devote a lot of time into these types of hobbies and activties related/revolving them, feel bad about themselves. One of the oldest most powerful tricks to bullying is to find a person, or a group of people, pick something about them, anything, like something they love, and shit all over it in a public way; and if called out by some third-person of reason; quickly retort that it was a prank or that it was all an act of harmless fun.
The way they act almost like they have mental issues is the absolute worst. Like mentally challenged people, in any possible tier of psychological difficulty, choose to act and be that way.
---------------------------- Digression, not ep8, but on-topic Star Wars
I dig some of the armor concepts for troopers in The Old Republic. After Disney, The Old Republic game was stripped of its canon status; but like Knights of the Old Republic we see more and more evidence of Disney stripping games/EU for what they consider to be good; not only story stuff, but clothes/item designs too.
With the 70s Star Wars original as the point of reference, Disney can go thousands of years prior to the events of the original trilogy, OR, thousands of years into the future - and anywhere between.
Disney can effectively 'reboot' Star Wars, simply by moving through time. Want different tech, characters, factions, political climates etc? Just skip time. Skipping around in time lets Disney make new characters and stories without shitting on stuff we already know and like/dislike about Star Wars.
If I could choose something they'd base either a new trilogy, tv-series, or video game on; I'd want it to be about The Unknown Regions.
As Rey will be trained to tap into both the light and the dark side, in order to understand the force and possibly wield more powers - I think there's a fair chance we'll see her struggle to not get consumed by anger. Perhaps she's almost about to turn and she comes back to her balanced state late in the movie or in EP9 to ensure a positive ending to the trilogy.
Again: In EP7 as she had Kylo on his knees after their duel, in the novel Snoke calls out to Rey through the force: "Kill him."; and she hears it. Maybe if the ground wasn't collapsing everywhere she'd done it.

Mary sue. Outside flashbacks, only unfair situations will make her struggle. If even those
the actress had a hard enough time managing to act a single set of emotions... asking her to act out opposing emotions.. jesus christ, they backed the wrong horse with this actress....

J J had a hard-on with her, that's the only possible explanation. My dirty mind says so after watching the making of.
makes sense. you could tell shes isnt an actress, and that not much was done to really force... heh.. force.. ugh.. a halfway decent performance out of her, so i guess it makes sense that he was fawning over her and not wanting to say she was doing a rubbish job.

I'm not a big fan of her looks or her personality - as an actor she's doing okay, she's inexperienced. She got the part vs tons of other women auditioning for it, so its not like she is to blame in any way. Must have felt amazing to be #1 pick, holy shit.
Even if Disney regrets this choice, it is tough to kill her character off now - but certainly not impossible to do if she doesn't evolve as an actor.
I don't want "Rey" to play a big role in the next trilogy or whatever comes next. She will though.
After EP9 I assume Star Wars has shaken off the remaining 70-80s nostalgia fed fans, and without Luke, Han and Leia it will have more freedom, which can potentially be both good and bad for Star Wars' continued popularity.
Also, the new EP8 character named "Rose" is such a stupid name for a Star Wars character, give her a more unique name, wtf Disney.
