Hah, funny you say that. While watching the trailer, I rolled my eyes and said out loud..."not another deathstar". Of course at the time, I thought this was in line with EP7, not another prequel.
Also, that trailer music was horrid.
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.
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.
Okay, well admit that this image of Ben Mendelsohn caused a bit of a stir. Thanks to Kallus in Rebels, the ISB (Imperial Security Bureau) is still canon. But he never wears the white uniform the old EU gave the ISBand which was based on some white uniforms seen on the first Death Star. The old EU also gave the all-white uniform to Imperial Grand Admirals (like fan favorite, Thrawn). On the whole, if one of these things is correct, Id put my money on him being a member of the ISB. The fact he appears to be on the Death Star really tips the balance, as much as Id love to see a Grand Admiral.

It appears you're right. This is Gizmodo's tear down
Yep, it's all the rage. Not to mention minorities. Asian? check. Blacks? check. But no tranny or gays yet? Shame on you, Disney.Looks great!
As a side note: between TFA, this and the Aftermath book anyone else notice they seem to be on a 'Female lead character' kick lately?
Agreed.
However nobody commenting on the young Gran Moff Tarkin yet... THAT looked awesome.

Uhhh.... Yeah. Going to be awesome.
This is the Star Wars movie I have been most excited about seeing. Supposed to be much more "gritty" and "dirty" than previous SW films and the trailer looks to back that up.
Considering it appears to be about stealing death star plans I hope we see a lot of bothans die. I always wondered exactly how many did.
according to Rebels, billions.
the entire planet was wiped
The odds of this movie not being around The Force Awakens in quality level, slightly above or below, give or take, is approximately 3720 to 1.
I loved Fett (and Han for that matter). But what made them awesome is the mystery behind their obviously quite colorful past. No matter what story is written it is NEVER going to live up to the mystique that has been built up around them. Some things are better left untouched.
looks like a Mission Impossible or Bourne movie in space.
your mission- steal the death star plans
but i'll still watch it
and meh for no General wedge Antilles, which Rogue One was his call sign as Rogue squadron leader.
yeah, I know.. this was between ep3 +4 where wedge was just a peon.
but had suuuuuuuuch high hopes this movie was about wedge when they first announced it years ago only to be let down last year when it was about stealing death star plans.

Still looks like it has potential though.
Yeah, how dare they cast females and non-white dudes! All of the roles should be straight white guys only!
Worst movie ever!!!
Always had the token female and black male in the Star Wars movies. Nothing has changed there.Yeah, how dare they cast females and non-white dudes! All of the roles should be straight white guys only!

And all those damn aliens. Instead of building a Death Star they should be building a wall! :biggrin:
The Death Star is the ultimate wall of the future. Soon there won't be any planets left in range.
