OT: Star Wars Rogue One Trailer 2
It's hard for me to not get excited about a new Star Wars movie, but I'm really, really pumped for this one. I think without the baggage of the main story arc and characters, they have the freedom and potential to make a great movie period, not just a great Star Wars movie. The cast looks great and the action sequences look weighty and powerful. Plus Darth freaking Vader, with James Earl Jones reprising the voice acting role.

I'm not certain why, but I thought this singalong video was hilarious.

I can't wait to see Donnie Yen kicking some ass in this. He is my favorite part of both trailers

So they are playing by Canadian rules?

Hopefully they don't screw it up. The origianl 3 were actually dark when you think about it. The 2nd set of three they played to the kiddos and we see how that turd passed. The world is dark and that must be allowed to show.

There's definitely a sense of foreboding to the trailers. But I dig it - I think it makes it more compelling.

Bothans are small and hairy. Those pictured in the preview aren't Bothans. Besides the quote about Bothans dying is from Return of the Jedi, Rogue One precedes A New Hope.

Agree if this succeeds I can see a whole new world open up for them to run with. Past Episodes have been tied to Sith/Jedi and I feel this could open it all up. I know Vader is in this or atleast teased, but I don't see it being a huge aspect.
I am just stoked to see more of the story as i have craved it for so many years.
August 12th, 2016 at 3:25 PM ^
Seriously? Rouge One. SMH
August 12th, 2016 at 3:28 PM ^
He is a Ford fanatic. :) Remembering the River Rouge plant every opportunity he gets.

This movie looks really great. Looking forward to it.
August 12th, 2016 at 3:33 PM ^
So this story is earlier in the Star Wars timeline?
August 12th, 2016 at 3:38 PM ^
August 12th, 2016 at 4:04 PM ^
Ahh, ok. Shows how little I know; I was just about to bitch about a THIRD death star and how the Empire keeps beating their heads against the wall with this decades-old technology. AT-ATs, old school Tie fighters and the like in the modern era of the Force Awakens would have been like our military resurrecting hueys and Sherman tanks...

Even though I am a huge SW fans, I will not be watching this until we beat MSU and OSU.
August 12th, 2016 at 3:54 PM ^
By the time the movie is released in December your license to watch will have been granted by the undeniable Force.
August 12th, 2016 at 10:36 PM ^
And I still love this! It is hilarious especially as I'm reading through comments and it pops up out of nowhere.

Trailer looks....fine. A little generic honestly. If it wasn't Star Wars it would look kind of dull IMO. Can't deny that some great people are in it, but I can't find myself even 1/10th as hyped for this as I was after watching the traiers for Force Awakens though (which were some of the most awesome trailers I'd ever seen).
I don't tend to be a huge fan of prequels in general though, so that may be coloring my view.
August 12th, 2016 at 3:48 PM ^
I'm unsure what the prequel movies have to do with Rogue One. No one of significance (quite possibly no one at all) who was involved with the production of the prequels is involved with that of Rogue One.
August 12th, 2016 at 4:06 PM ^
It is set (in terms of the timeline) before Episode IV, therefore by definition it IS a prequel.

I said I'm not a fan of prequels in general. Meaning ANY prequels of ANY movies. I didn't say anything specifically about the existing Star Wars prequels.
I prefer movies that go foward and try to tell new stories where we don't know what is going to happen, not movies that fill in details of stories where we already know the outcome. I just tend to find that boring. We already know pretty much what happens in Rogue One. Sure, we don't know the details, but we know the basic outcome.

I will say Force Awakens really opened my eyes to more Star Wars movies. The Jedi/Sith weren't overly centrical and I feel Rouge One will just continue to open the world up.
I watched the trailer and thought man what an amazing Movie and it doesn't appear to even have much if any lightsaber battles. It was just beauty to the eyes. Can't wait until it hits in December.
I watched Episodes 1 2 3 and now crave someone to redo those three and give them the proper look much like Force Awakens and Rouge One.

Expect no to extremely limited use of light sabers. While this movie has Darth Vader, his role will be very small. This is a movie about the rebellion's heist of the Death Star's plans, not about the war going on between the Sith and Jedi.
August 12th, 2016 at 3:50 PM ^
I loved last night's trailer, like many of you.
IO9/Gizmodo had a really good breakdown of it today. Link is here.
August 12th, 2016 at 4:01 PM ^
I'm annoyed women have to be the main characters in the new movies.
neg away.
I'll be more excited for the Han Solo movie.

The problem with Rey, IMO, wasn't that she was female. The problem was that she was the most unbelieably amazing character in movie history. She flies ships! She repairs ships! She battles with lightsabers! She uses the force at master levels with no traiining! She defeats Sith in lightsaber battles despite only having picked a saber up for the first time about 30 minutes ago!
It was like watching an 8-year old play Star Wars, just making up all the stuff they could do on the fly. There was literally no skill or power that she didn't possess, with little or no training or reason to back it up.
Now, maybe they will create a story plot point in the next movie to explain why Rey is a super-being and everything will then make sense. But out of context, her character is just plain silly, and that has nothing to do with gender. We'll have to see.
August 12th, 2016 at 5:38 PM ^
Agreed. Same problem with Rey. It's like she was Luke, Han and Leia rolled into one character and poor Fin got to be Chewbacca.

while Luke did some rather remarkable things in the first movie, he also would have been blown into atoms if Han hadn't decided to come back to save his ass. He also didn't spend the entire movie doing unbelievably crazy amazing things--sure he survived on the Death Star along with the rest of the crew but outside of the chasm swing he didn't really do anything any more amazing than anyone else. He was also given a backstory about how he flew a ship somewhat similar to the X-Wing fighters back on Tatooine, though that storyline was cut from the film which admittedly does make his piloting in the end of the film seem over the top.
Rey on the other hand might as well have been the only character in the new movie for all the help she got from anyone else. She essentially did everything 100% by herself in the entire film without any help.
Instantly learned to fly the Millenium Falcon at a master level, by herself
Instantly learned to FIX the Millenium Falcon BETTER THAN GODDAM HAN SOLO AND CHEWBACCA, all by herself.
Instantly learned how to use a lightsaber, all by herself, no training at all from anyone.
Instantly learned the Jedi-mind-trick WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING THE JEDI MIND TRICK EXISTED, all by herself, no training necessary.
The list goes on and on. Unless there is some backstory to her character that has yet to be told, like she is some Jedi prodigy who has had her memory wiped, or the freakin' incestuous love child of Luke and Leia, her character is flat out ridiculous.
