I don’t have a lot of experience with these polls but they do seem to have a pretty regular schedule, judging from the dates of past polls and quizzes. Whatever happened, Kyle has pulled slightly ahead now–so Finn fans, go vote! #rebelfinn
Rian has certainly done nothing to soothe such anxieties, though from what little they’ve shown of Finn in the trailer I’m excited for his role.
John discusses learning from the Star Wars marketing in making decisions about the Pacific Rim Uprising teasers and trailers, which is both encouraging and discouraging. On the one hand he talks about keeping Mako Mori in reserve for future teasers due to her popularity, which gives me hope that Finn, Poe, and especially Rose are being similarly kept in reserve and that some of their appearances are simply too spoilery to show in advance.
On the other hand John also says, “you have to make sure you describe as much of the [moviegoing] experience as possible in the trailer. That’s why people pay for a ticket.” This is what fans who are disappointed with the trailer have been saying all along, and if that’s what the TLJ trailer is trying to do it’s really not a good sign for the movie.
Besides, even the idea of keeping Finn and Rose back for future promotion rings increasingly hollow when the release date is so close and, as far as I can tell, we’re really really late in the game to be talking about building excitement by showing important characters late in the promotional cycle. PRU is a different story because it’s slated to be released in March of 2018, not December of 2017 like TLJ.
I’m at a stage when I’m preparing myself for disappointment while hoping for the best. Nothing Rian has said or done has given me confidence. It would be nice to be pleasantly surprised, but it would still be a surprise the way things are going.
I’m also not going to watch TLJ until and unless a trusted fandom friend gives me the all clear. No way am I spending money on a fascist woobifying piece of shit movie, if it should come to that.
Keep voting, we’ve narrowed the margin by a percentage point and Finn and Poe together? Still beat Kill Ruin handily.
Out of curiosity, how do we know when this poll is closing? It doesn’t say when its closing and I just checked a bunch of the others on StarWars.com and they ALL appear to be open still. Including one for what are you most looking forward to on Force Friday II, which was well over a month ago now and what was best moment of the Last Jedi teaser. The who is the best Jedi poll has been open since January 2016.
Yeah, this one’s still open too. Are these like open ended polls?
Certainly seems that way to me…
Which means this is basically an endless tug of war between us and the reyl0s/kyl0 stans.
Well, prepare for the long haul everyone, until the next distraction comes along.

Like don’t get me wrong, Poe gaining percentage is great, however if it results into Finn’s percentage becoming smaller and Kylo’s barely losing any, it could lead to a smaller advance for Finn, while the Kylo scene remains popular. So… we need more people voting, so that Kylo goes down, even if the votes between Poe and Finn split!
Just an update before bed:
Finn is holding on 40, Kale has dropped to 29 and Poe is now up on 14.
Two and a half more day to go. Let’s keep Finn in the lead and see if we can’t have Poe boosted to second place.
Guys, the numbers are getting close! Let’s see if Poe can overtake Kyle while keeping Finn in the lead.
Like, objectively, how is that clash with the electricity and the fire and the shiny and the cool hero not the best moment?
Ikr? It was both gorgeous AND exciting!
Latest update!
Finn is keeping his 10-11 point lead on Kale and even better, Poe is now tied with Kale. Realistically we can get Poe’s speech past Kale’s sorry ass before the poll closes sometime tomorrow. (Sorry I don’t have a set time for the closing, but I know it is closes when they put up the next and that usually happens sometime on Wednesday)
And for those of you who have a facebook account and don’t mind having your off-line name involved, scroll to the bottom of the page and explain to LucasArt why the scene you voted for is your favorite.
