Evidently there have been a few fans of the DC Cinematic Universe that aren’t too fond of the The Last Jedi. User @JesabelRaayย has a few words for them.
DCEU fans who find THE LAST JEDI teaser trailer underwhelming. LMAO. Sweetie please… #TheLastJedi

Yeah, pretty self-explanatory, though frankly you really can’t knock anyone for liking the Wonder Woman trailer just as much as The Last Jedi. That trailer was pretty phenomenal too.
Shannon Taylor
The Last Jedi trailer was going to be huge regardless of what day it was released on. Still, twitter user @shantays94 expressed the decision to release on Black Friday perfectly.

Kind of hoped you would see more of Reyย throughout the trailer, but certainly a good start.
Bad Father Han Solo
The Last Jedi trailer will be one of the most viewed of the year most likely, and user @BadFatherHanย will have certainly fulfilled his contribution quota.

The newest Last Jedi trailer was a rollercoaster of emotions, and fans everywhere were experiencing it at the same time. Twitter user @ProtegoMenteย knows just who might know what that sensation feels like.

Once the pure joy of a new Star Wars trailer starts to fade, you’ve undoubtedly hit the “but why” phase, with hundreds of questions rushing into your brain.

Star Wars fans are very attentive to the small details, as are the places (like ComicBook.com) that cover the things they love. @luigipaloozaย would just love everyone to calm down a bit, saying “if people could stop picking apart the trailer with a fine tooth comb, that would be greeeeaat…”
