Star Wars - Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS WITHIN)

Cue fan theories based on that image (you know which one).

Some are denying it's Rey - but it looks like Rey... Naturally, if it looks like Rey, but isn't Rey, the obvious conclusion is that it's her dad.
 
The guy who went so far as to cast a white dude as Khan for fear of spoilers is not going to straight-up reveal a big-ass twist in a teaser. He's just not. So it's either a vision or misdirection, guaranteed.

I'll be honest, that last shot made me go "Oh!" It's spoiled by all the reuploads that populate youtube for whatever reason, they're using it as the thumbnail. I find that extremely annoying even though I wasn't spoiled.

This is a spoiler thread as indicated in the title. Just like this alternate cut of the Rey scene.

I was complaining about all the copycat reupload YouTube channels that just take trailers, not about spoilers in the thread. I feel like they're scammy, so I try to make sure I'm watching new trailers from the channels that own them. That was my point. But on top of that, for this trailer, it seems they're all using that final shot as the thumbnail (I searched YouTube to show my wife). It's bad enough that the trailer views are 'stolen', but in this case even searching for the trailer will spoil a fresh viewing experience. I found that shot surprising and imagine many others would, too, if they didn't expect it.

The version you linked is from the official channel and doesn't have the spoiler thumbnail. All good here.
 
Ah, I see. Yeah, unless someone is creating original content youtube seams to be all about being the first to reveal or say something.

I think I found the Emperor image that was used to make this. Quick and dirty comparison in spoiler tag below.

TLDR: I think Disney stole some guy's photo of a Star Wars toy.
 
Dark Rey could be anything really. From vision, to clone, to twins... hell, for all we know she just could have killed a bad guy the scene before and take his cloak and saber to infiltrate a place. There are so many ways such a shot could appear in the movie that it means nothing much.
 
About the poster: Emperor Palpatine is Disney's property.
Even if they are using some guy's picture of a toy, I hardly see that as a steal.
If we can make fanedits of Star Wars, then "Star Wars" can also use fan's made productions...!

Ethically, I agree with you. However, legally, I'm not so sure. I'm no lawyer.

I think perhaps you meant to legally agree and ethically disagree? Anyway, Star Wars belongs to Disney and TMBTM pretty much nailed it. I'm no lawyer either, but Disney is the copyright holder and therefore calls the shots of production and distribution of their IP. Let's move on from ownership/copyright discussions.


Saw this shot of the new opening crawl this morning. Enjoy.

Watch the Game Theory video about the legality of fan games. I believe it's the same laws. Could be wrong though.
I just remember one part where he was talking about this fan game that introduces new mechanics than the original game, and that if the creator of the original game put the mechanics into a new game, a problem may pursue.

More similar to this though, the creator of the original game accidentally used fan art for a poster for one of his games, and then quickly changed it and apologized when he realized.

Actually, that reminds me. There were international posters for Solo where they accidentally used fan art. This is nothing new. I don't remember what came of it though.

I'm sorry! I didn't see your post, you must've posted while I was typing and I didn't realize. I'm dropping it now then!

You asked a question, so to clear this up (talking semantics, without getting into copyright, and then drop it entirely), no, I meant what I said., and I'm not sure what about it confused you.

It was meant as a rhetorical question as to not be a smug ftfy moment.
 
Apparently the toy photo thing was known already. Oh well, I thought I found something interesting.
 
The more this trailer verifies plot leaks, the more astonished I am that Doctor Who has had more security this year than a major Hollywood production.

I know right!? How does a multi-million blockbuster have baffaling incompetence, while a much-lower budgeted british TV show has had almost no leaks (although they appear just to be rumors).
