I can see it now.....


Force Awakens opens to the Vader v. Luke duel on Cloud City. Literally just reusing the footage from Empire.

Then Vader cuts off Luke's hand, the camera zooms past Luke and follows the severed hand down the shaft like Gandalf following the Balrog.

As it falls into the open air, cut, next scene hand is floating through space. Some goofy alien CGI character finds it "whooahaha meesa likah diss" or some such and he pockets it. Cue Rey scenes.

This would make sense since he is the most powerful Sith Lord there is.

I hope they use de-aging on Hamill to reveal that Vader had additional Big Twist lines between I am your father and Luke jumping off, they just weren't important until now.

This is a fun theory in Phantom Menace but I'm surprised even the most dedicated nerds really clung to it like it was going to happen. Like of course Jar Jar is the fool in Phantom Menace's wushu flick band of good guys, so the part about him being super good with the force in an unknowing and lucky way as a counterpart to Obi-Wan being a devout monk and Qui-Gonn basically being the guy the other jedi buy weed from makes sense and is cool, but did people for real unjokingly think he was going to be the big bad?

If they're going to use it, you use it in Trailer 1, not to be confused with the Teaser or Trailer 2.

Description of the new (actual) trailer which was screened at celebration but we won't be seeing for some time??
http://collider.com/rogue-one-new-trailer-description/

quote:

The trailer opens up with a few shots of what looks to be a young Jyn Erso running as an Imperial ship soars above before cutting to Felicity Jones as voice over plays; “There isn’t much time. Every day, we grow weaker. While the day grows grimmer, we still have a chance … to make a real difference.” The music begins to ramp up as we catch glimpses of handcuffed rebels being walked through the streets and shots from the first trailer and from the Star Wars Celebration reel including Stormtroopers walking through Scarif, the Shoretroopers, a shot of Orson Krennic flanked by Death Troopers walking across a terrain that looks a lot like the grassy area we see the young Jyn running through at the beginning of the piece.

The trailer wraps with the reveal we’ve all been waiting for – kind of. In comes the sound of Darth Vader’s breathing and then we get a shot that slowly pans up to show, not Vader himself, but rather his reflection on the floor. That’s all we get, but it’s chilling and satisfying enough and clearly leaves so much more to be discovered about his involvement in the plot of the film.



Overall, this is another fantastic piece of promotional material. Regardless of rumors circulating regarding the tone, just like the first Rogue One trailer, this one definitely has an intense war movie feel to it. It’s packed with Stormtroopers, explosions and other visuals that tease a very visceral intensity, sky high stakes, and a scenario where no one feels safe.

Click if you want to be frustrated. The guy films only the upper right corner of the screen for most of the trailer and almost all the shots we do see are recycled from the first teaser. I assume that a high quality version will be put up tonight or tomorrow.

In case anyone was wondering where the promised "three-minute trailer" is, it was actually a sizzle reel:
