Do you guys think that having Luke too much in the trailers would be a mistake? They made such a big deal of the need to find Luke in SW7 and we didn’t get to see him until the end, just a few seconds and zero lines. In my opinion it would ruin it a bit if the first time we hear Luke speak in the new movies is in a promo for SW8. I get that they would want to show him in the promos to help sell the movie and considering the story of SW8 will probably center around Luke it would be hard to make trailers for it without showing him, but I’m hoping they can do it without him speaking or if he does, keep it to a couple of words at the most. What do you guys think?

Hello Collider crew you guys are my daily addiction. My friend & I were looking ahead to the summer of 2017 & deciding if we could only see 5 films which ones could we not miss. So if you had to only pick 5 films coming out from the beginning of May to the end of August in 2017, what would your list be?
