the original trailer for The Force Awakens was a red band with a lot more cursing than eventually made it into the movie, and Dengar was a main focus (due to effects not being finished at the time)

I just watched the first episode of Season 2 yesterday, I can't wait to finish the rest of it this weekend. When is Season 3 hitting?

September 24th. Get hyped!

Wonder if they'll do any mid-season references to Rogue One like Agents of Shield did when the Avengers movies dropped (I would be so giddy)

Just remember everybody we tested a nuke before we used one on Japan. Gotta make sure your doomsday weapon works before you reveal it to the world.


So the Empire is gonna test the Bomb but in secret conditions to make sure everything works as intended and to iron out any glitches.

THEN they blow up Alderaan in a very public way.

If you read my spoilered fan speculation you'd know that you were beaten. Young fool. Only now. At the end. Do you. Understand.

I've been thinking of rewatching the whole series and making a list of all the Ralph McQuarrie art references. Because I am a huge nerd who loves that poo poo.

Lando's southern gentleman robot helper is right out of McQuarrie's first drawing of 3P0 and I loved every second of it


Speaking of Lando

Young Lando is coming to the Young Han Solo Chronicles, and Donald Glover seems to be in the lead (he would be awesome!)

I can't wait to entertain you.
I'm thinking the theory that it blows up the Jedha city is correct. We saw Death Star 2 blow up a cruiser, so I'm sure DS1 has a lower power setting.

What I think would be cool, would be if they address the Death Star plans schematic not matching what the Death Star actually looks like. The briefing video they show in ANH has dish over the trench. Would be cool if in Rogue One they specifically address that, by having them steal an early version of the blueprints or something.

im gonna speculate on the potential time line of the movie: I think we will probably open with the flashback to Krennic going to madds dude and forcing him to finish building the death star. Young jyn runs away as deathtroopers torch her home. We go to the present. Jyn is rebelling and gets picked up by the rebels and taken to Yavin. Her and Cass go to Jedha to recruit Jiang Wang & Donnie Yen, the 2nd act finale would probably be the death star (currently orbiting) testing the super laser on the planet and them escaping as the planet heaves. Third act will be on Scarif, where poo poo will hit the fan, everyone dies mostly, and the plans are relayed to Leia at the very end.

Re: whether or not firing the Death Star in R1 is a weird retcon

The SW Celebration intro video (where the crawl to Star Wars plays and then gets all staticy) suggests that Rogue One is roughly summarized in the first seconds of Star Wars: "...Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans..."

When the movie was announced, either someone from LF said it outright or I imagined it, but Vader's line "there will be no one to stop us *this* time" was a jumping off point for That Other Time Where The Imperials Were Stopped, which is a better subtitle than A Star Wars Story.

So all of this is to say that if they are sort of fleshing out the stories behind the lines in Star Wars, you have a couple of touchstones:

Motti: "This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it"
and later Tarkin: " think it is time we demonstrate the full power of this station"

This leaves plenty of room for the DS to blow poo poo up in R1 I think.

Since this is supposed to be more like a war movie, I can envision an ending where everyone or almost everyone dies, but their sacrifice has not been in vain and there's an end montage of the Rebellion proudly rolling on.

Clearly the movie should be 2 hours of bureaucratic wrangling over which company will provide the X-Wing, B-Wing, Y-Wing and A-Wing contracts for the Rebellion.

Give me Pentagon Wars but set in the Imperial army's bureaucracy. It will examine how the AT-AT went from a cheap troop transport to the expensive self-propelled artillery walker that's a centerpiece of the Empire's land forces.

Yeah, there's a ton of stuff in Rebels that is pretty dumb. poo poo like this is canon now because of it:



Clone Wars had its fair share of silly poo poo too, but its good arcs were waaay better written than Rebels. Rebels is a show starring a bunch of unlikeable characters who make poor choices getting into cartoony situations and constantly retreading over OT territory but poorly.
