54 Days Until Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi-Trailer Reaction

Number one, I had almost given up hoping for a new trailer by the time it came around last week. It seemed that we had been waiting so long that it would never actually come, and I was not constantly waiting for it.
Suffice it to say that the release came as a bit of a surprise to me. I actually watched it on the television as it premiered. Because my dad was watching that football (was it football?) game. I don't watch sports.
Into the trailer now:
Who is truly special? Is it Rey or Kylo? To me, they are increasingly bound up in each other. I don't think that trying to find the ways they are different is useful. Clearly, they are meant to be mirrors, exact foils to each other. Everything that is said to one could be said to the other, and vice versa.
I also love how the lightsaber noise goes into the Imperial theme, which isn't quite the Imperial theme. Clever sound editing! Props to those peeps, whoever they are.
Also, the island is shown under the not quite Imperial theme, which just makes me wonder about what is really going on here.
Clearly, Luke is frightened by Rey because she reminds him of Kylo. But, by striving not to make the same mistakes he did before, will Luke send Rey down the same path? I worry. Luke is not the best at making decisions even in unstressful situations.
Is it any wonder that face shots of Rey shift to those of Kylo and vice versa?
The 'Let the past die' sequence worries me. Clearly, obviously, they have to kill Leia, but I don't want it to happen. And I definitely don't want Kylo to do it. If the goal of this trilogy is to give Kylo a Vader-like redemption arc (and I am not positive that it is), then him killing Leia will make it impossible for to ever like or feel much pity for. They will doom him if he kills Leia. Even though she probably has to die.
Can we just talk about how epic Poe Dameron is? He is really Han and Leia's child. The cockiness and swagger of Han combined with Leia's belief and commitment.
And Finn??? Is he a Jedi? Maybe, maybe not, but he certainly is cool. And it looks like Phasma will actually get to do something, which is what I wanted for her all along.
And Luke's anger. You can hear it and it scares me. Let go of your anger, Luke.
And there it is, the combination of Rey and Kylo. The foils coming together, to create something good, or something horrible. I worry about this movie. They could mess it up so easily. They could destroy it without even really trying. I don't want Luke or Rey to be evil. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I just want everything to be okay, but it might not be. And that thought is straight up terrifying.

Chorus of the Day!

Not here to lose
Not here for you to choose how we, should be
Cause we're not part of your machine
We're not, we're not part, we're not part of your machine
We're not, we're not part, we're not part of your machine, no

Last Chorus of the Day:
Dirty Laundry by All Time Low
