Do we honestly think Vader isn't gonna pull out his lightsaber and cut a fool at some point?

Over/under on number of survivors from Jyn's team is 1.5.

drat this looks amazing - the action from the ground just brings so much menace to what I considered cannon fodder vehicles. Pretty visceral.

That whole trailer is basically Gareth Edwards flipping the bird to Abrams and giving him a lesson on how movies can actually be beautifully shot.

My biggest issue with all of this...where the gently caress is Tarkin? He was on the bridge of one of the capital ships at the end of RotS overseeing the construction of the Death Star with Palps and Vader.....he is a huge part of ANH, where is he in R1????

There's a glimpse of him (presumably) in the sizzle reel trailer they released at the Star Wars Celebration in Europe.  How big a role he'll play in Rogue One - or even if he has dialogue - remains to be seen. If they can pull off a good acting facsimile of Peter Cushing, to the point that he's believable as Tarkin in both sound and appearance, I'd love a scene where he dresses down Krennic. Edit: I also wonder if this shot from the new trailer at 1:21 could be him. There aren't a lot of Imperial officers who get to walk around without the standard issue officer cap.

Shortly before it he's still overseeing Imperial operations at the top level, and was last spotted transferring Grand Admiral Thrawn and the 7th fleet to the hunt for the Phoenix rebel cell, as a means of rooting out all the large rebel cells before they reach the stage of galaxy wide coordination.

The new trailer was cool, but I'm just not feeling Felicity Jones. She's like the prettier version of  . Still wanna watch the movie and give her a chance, though.

He'll take over after Vader fucks Kennick's poo poo up for letting the plans leak.

 Edit- Wait...  quote:“Cushing is a pivotal plot line as he was the one to create Darth Vader and there’s a whole back story that will come out.”

I agree. I think there's a strong chance we could get a Tarkin CGI replica. That article is completely ridiculous however.

That trailer got me a lot more interested than I was before. I don't care about the story or its desire to go back to the OT well, but the first time we're seeing the stuff from the OT actually looking good for once has my interest. ISDs dominating the skyline and not just models? People walking near AT-AT walkers that aren't stop motion? Space battles of a complexity and detail borrowing from the prequels? Sign me the gently caress up. The whole paucity-of-lightsaber-combat (Vader is bound to be the only one who uses one, and he's in a metal suit, so it's bound to be klunky ANH style poo poo) is going to suck, though. Star Wars without lightsabers is like the terrible early parts of KOTOR.

There's really only like a total of 15 minutes of good lightsaber action(Throne Room + Duel of the Fates) in all 7 movies, so I've never really been concerned about that.

I would totally buy it if Tarkin is just the Emperor's mouthpiece, and doesn't show up. Known more for giving speeches and being a face to a regime. The real dirty work is done by Vader and/or this new director toad. Think back to ANH: What did he do, really, but sit at a conference table and watch a big screen? Maybe he's just Palpatine's version of Goebbels.

Hot take: all the Star Wars are good. I think it'll be cool to have a Star Wars movie focused on the Star War part. Hot take 2: Jyn is Rey's mom, book it

Gonz posted:Isn't Rey supposed to be 18 or 19 in TFA? Rey was born 15 years after this movie and ANH (which are presumably separated by a matter of weeks at most). We don't know how old Jyn is supposed to be, but if the character is in her early-to-mid twenties, that's a perfectly reasonable timeline. Serf posted:I think this theory relies on Jyn surviving Rogue One and I just don't see that happening. Zoran posted:Over/under on number of survivors from Jyn's team is 1.5. There's a reason why I put it at 1.5 and not 0.5.
