I will put money down right now that the Lord and Miller movie will have a scene where a Sith trips over a Gonk droid to his death.

Exactly! It's all part of the same universe, but it doesn't look like they're cribbing directly :)

Except for the plot, setting, props, etc. They're even recycling TFA by the looks of it!

It seems like a dull dystopian movie for millenials whose idea of oppression is police checkpoints and hacks who will write about how revolutionary its FEMALE PROTAGONIST is.

I was waiting for those pilots to trip. Those ejection straps are hell to walk in, let alone run.

Trailer looks great and Mendelsohn looks fly as gently caress.

Okay. It's still an annoying sound to be playing for half the trailer

The trailer looked good otherwise

I think you can blame the 1979 Alien trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEVY_lonKf4

The Alien alarm seems to be a motif that is used quite a bit in trailers.

Doesn't it look like the hooded figure is appearing in front of someone between the guards? He's obscuring whoever the guards are there for.

This looks pretty cool actually. My biggest concern about this is watching a Star Wars movie without a John Williams score. That just seems wrong. Even with another composer incorporating William's themes into the score.

I would also like to point attention to the fact that while the movie is said to be more "gritty" than Star Wars usually is, you can actually SEE things happening, and the worlds aren't devoid of color.

This seems to have the exact same problem as TFA in that it only exists to resemble OT. it looks decent, but that's about it.

e: and gritty? It has a maternal authority figure telling the protagonist how reckless and rebellious she is. It's the exact opposite of gritty.

The movie taking place immediately before the OT looks like the OT. Shocker

I think one can make the argument that they're playing it very safe so far, just like TFA did.

I rather liked TFA alot though, so I don't really see this as a problem.
