Rogue One trailer released

[gorcorps]

Looks good, I like the twist on the original score and the cast looks solid.

Waiting for the inevitable backlash from people here about yet ANOTHER death star plot.

 

[maddogchen]

Oh, so this movie is about how they stole the plans?

Yes

 

[Midwayman]

i think that was for the second death star... in Return of the Jedi. This Rogue One is set before a New Hope and is the plans Leia gives to R2D2

Wookiepedia says you are right. Still, looks like its about stealing death star plans and I still hope to see bothans die.

 

[Sonikku]

I fought for the Rogue Squadron back in the Nintendo 64 days.

Ah, a comrade! I was the star pilot to bring down Moff Seerdon myself.

Another Brit.

Another (white) female protagonist.


Geez...whodathunk?

British females poll well with the both middle aged basement dwellers and hormone-driven male teenagers.

Agreed.

However nobody commenting on the young Gran Moff Tarkin yet... THAT looked awesome.

yeah he looked great. I think its this dude?

Whom I always confuse for this dude:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0625789/?ref_=tt_cl_t3

...hear me out, because first dude often looks like this in films:

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2239034112/nm0578853?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_evt_13

(he was the CEO dude in Dark Knight Rises that first sponsored Bain....all this time I actually thought it was Tim Blake Nelson. )

I hope Vader is in it. James Earl Jones is voicing the role in Rebels so he would almost assuredly do it for a movie. Though I hope they would not spoil such a plot point in the trailer and leave it as a surprise in the movie. (fat chance)

I hope it's episode 3, robot-walking, child murdering vader and not episodes 4-6 terrifying galactic badass vader

 

[zinfamous]

this shit is getting all to predictable.

great trailer, mediocre film?

 

[zinfamous]

Pretty sure the rumor is that he will be in it. Seems almost impossible to have the story line and the timeframe without him. May not be THE main bad guy, but seems like he'd have to be involved in some level. The Death Star was Tarkin's baby so he will be the main "bad guy" in this one I think.

Minimal Sith though of course for obvious reasons.

I'd imagine that he shows up only at the very end and only after the successful [spoiler!] STEALING OF THE PLANS [ end spoiler]. I think the emperor sent him to babysit the death star after that colossal security breach. He wasn't always Tarkin's lapdog, even though that is how he first appeared to audiences.

It's Ben Mendelsohn

British females poll well

Do they? I am going to have to get over there some time.

[Childs]

Agreed.

Are you talking about the guy in white? I dont think thats him. I thought they were going to digitally add Peter Cushing.

I stand correct.

-KeithP

he said poll, not pole. :sneaky:

 

[zinfamous]

wha? why would they do that? Might as well just digitally add Hayden Christianson. Shit, replace every actor in every SW movie with digital Hayden Christianson from now on.

I dont know how much he's supposed to be in it. I assumed it would be a cameo if they decided to go digital and not recast.

I read that a long time ago too... and thought it was complete bullshit then.
Looking at the image I posted and a picture of Grand Moff Tarkin, it seems their little chest "ribbons" are different

Dude in trailer has 2 rows: 6 red, 6 blue.
Tarkin had 2 rows 6 blue, 3 red, 3 yellow.

I think you might on, I mean onto, something there!

which character is Forest Whitaker playing?

I dont think we've ever seen Tarkin in all white. It looks like this guy is a Imperial Grand Admiral. They wear all white. Maybe he was in charge before Tarkin.

 

[zinfamous]

which character is Forest Whitaker playing?

Forest Whitaker is playing a kidnapped cricket hurler who is eventually killed by his kidnapper; the kidnapper who in turn then meets and develops an amorous relationship with Whitaker's doted-upon surprise tranny girlfriend.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Huh? This is the construction of the 1st Death Star (the one in EP4) So they are testing it out for the very first time.

Ah that makes sense. Thank you.

 

[SKORPI0]

Rogue Squadron was an elite pilot group organized by Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles. There's overlap.

How can that be? They get the plans to Leia before Luke even leaves Tatooine.

Yes it's set between ep3 and 4.

The film, which began production in August 2015, is set between the films Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The plot revolves around a band of resistance fighters uniting to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Galactic Empire's planet-destroying battle station. The theft of the Death Star plans was first referenced in the opening crawl in A New Hope.

I thought this was going to be a summer release. Bummed we have to wait till December. Still looks badass. Can't wait.

 

[Imp]

Felicity Jones and Forest Whitaker... not bad. Mads Mikkelsen should also be in it, think he was the big guy here the end of the trailer.

Too bad we know how this movie ends but pretty cool.
