Star Wars: Rogue One (December 2016)

[Reno]

he wasn't vader then was he? He was Anakin Skywalker. This is pointed out when Ben Kenobi gives his (pretty shit) excuse for saying Luke's father was dead. In a sense the thing he became murdered the man he was. To say vader was centre stage just aint true

That's splitting hairs for nerds. In any case, to put Vader centre stage is dramatically a bad move in any incarnation. Just because one finds a villain interesting doesn't mean they have to be in a film loads. Less is more

true (not the first bit, its central to the character) but the 'less is more' for a true baddie can agree with. I just want rto see him in a massive battle, theres a scope for battles in star wars- hoth is the legend (down't mention endor). Looks like from the trailer there will be some good set piece battles

Also, did that star destroyer shimmer out of a cloaking device? crossing the streams here people!

nah, coming out of the shadow of the Death Star

 

[T & P]

The international trailer has been released. It contains a tiny bit of new footage, but also a very interesting hint/tease about Jyn Erso's family background

 

[T & P]

And someone with too much time in their hands has reimagined the ESB trailer based on Rogue One's trailer

while we wait for the december main event, check this. Its the best fan film I have ever seen. In story, in pathos, in cinema grade production values. Whoever made this has a careeer ahead of them I should think:

For some reason when the Rogue One noise started I was under the impression it was going to a tv show.....

Am I just being wishful or was there talk of making a star wars universe tv show with all new characters?

You'r not confusing it with the rebels cartoon are you?

Mind you I think their are often rumours flying around, most with no basis in reality.

Just did a bit of searching. There was a live action show called Star Wars Underworld being talked up by Lucas and co....but Disney seem to have killed it off...

 

[Lazy Llama]

There have been recent conversations between Disney and ABC about a possible Star Wars TV series - ‘Star Wars’ TV Series Still a Possibility, Per ABC Boss: ‘We Have Had Conversations’

It's rather good. It's almost brilliant. A few minor quibbles but yeah, I agree - great talent behind this.

Ooohhh... New droid unveiled. An Imperial R-2 unit!

hopefully they'll have one of the assasin droids from the comics as well.

It's basically just R2 in a gimp suit.

 

[krtek a houby]

Well, alright!

 

[ruffneck23]

actual goosebumps

 

[Idris2002]

I stopped at 1:37 because I don't want to see too much of it. . . but this could be the best SW film yet. . .

Looks darker than Force Awakens, might just top it.

 

[DotCommunist]

looks like far more of a War film and this is a good thing

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Wowsers

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Well, that certainly provoked a stirring in the undergrowth. I think I won't watch any further trailers though - I feel I've already seen enough of the plot.

 

[Mumbles274]

I think i did a sex wee

 

[Beats & Pieces]

2.04. Vader!

 

[emanymton]

Didn't seem all that special to me, and some of the dialogue was pretty cringe inducing.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Star Wars dialogue has never been Shakespeare....let's face it.

 

[Cid]

Yeah, but that was pretty dire even by SW standards... And with mediocre delivery. That said I really like the general look of it.

 

[The Octagon]

Just had a thought -

Spoiler: theory

Now that it appears from the trailer that Jyn Erso's father has helped (or more likely been forced to help) build the Death Star, is it possible he built in a small thermal exhaust port as a failsafe and this is the key information they end up stealing (not the plans, but the vulnerability)?

That would tie in nicely I feel.

 

[ruffneck23]

Yes, I had the same thought...

 

[Mumbles274]

Is it the first death star?

 

[ruffneck23]

yep
