Because people will complain about anything and everything and are pessimistic. What's worst is they think their complaints are righteous and reasonable. If only there's a way to let these kind of people their opinions don't mean shit.

It's really a reverse spoiler because they obviously wouldn't show that she is going dark side in the trailer so we know that it's not going to happen. I think her battling with the dark side is an interesting angle and they've set it up in the previous film, but it's clear she'll remain good.

Except, just like everything else in that film, it was executed poorly as shit. They've shown nothing to suggest she'd turn.

Because no matter what they do, people will complain.
Aladdin wasnt exactly as the cartoon? Complain that they changed it and thereby ruined it.
Lion King was frame by frame identical? Complain that they were lazy and thereby ruined it.

You do know that TLJ is canon, right? So using TLJ fan theories in RoS makes no sense.

yeah like others said, its because the last jedi. cant have that progress in the story ignored.

we have to wait and see how Ep IX turns out - how it is as a movie in itself and as a whole conclusion to this sequel trilogy

Who says that's even what's happening?

It's amazing how easily you guys are led around by rumors and snippets of footage. Some jerkoff on Youtube blurts some shit out and the internet treats it like the gospel.

What reason would Rey have to go to the dark side at all? Has anything remotely usable for such a plot been established over the last 5 hours of this sequel trilogy?

It's not, and I remember prior to The Last Jedi, there was heavy speculation that the end would result in the two characters switching sides.

The plot twist is that Palpatine will take over her body.

That's Rian Johnson's fetish: if common fan theories match the plot developments that were planned, then Rian will undo the plot developments just to make fans angry. J.J. Abrams is now trying to do damage control with the final film in order to get the trilogy back on track for its intended conclusion.

It's been firmly established in the Star Wars universe that if you have anybody that you care about at all, the temptation to turn to the dark side will always be there.

Everything being discussed here is what should have happened in episode 8, which would set up a really interesting final episode. TLJ was such a fucking waste.

That's horseshit. Even if its shit the prequels had a three movie arc establishing Anakin's love for Padme so Palpatine could use that to turn him.

And the past two movies didn't establish a strong connection between Rey and Finn/Kylo?

...No?

They established a friendship with Finn and a hope to turn him away from the dark path with Kylo. I didn't realize that all that was needed to turn someone to the dark side was "threaten the life of this one person that you knew mediumly intimately at this one time in your life."

Is anybody really gonna forgive Kylo for murdering Han Solo? Unless they say he was literally mind controlled, there's no forgiving that.

Yeah, I'm really hoping it's a reverse spoiler. Because otherwise this'll be the first time I'm pissed at spoilers in a trailer.

If it happens in the trailer ,its an intentional misdirection from the series that literally has Luke as Vader for a scene

This.

The last jedi didnt accomplish anything but the death of 2 characters with one of those meaning nothing now. The entire plot of TLJ was a waste and led no where with this final movie shoe horning everything in now.

I heard a rumor that this movie's gonna be close to 3 hours long, so...yeah. If that's the case they're shoving a whole lot into this movie.
