*** Official *** Rogue One - A Star Wars Story (1 Viewer)

In fact I'm sure it's their intention to let EVERYONE know that Vader is in it without showing out to everyone that Vader is in it. They want to make money after all.  I wonder if it will come close to TFA?

Not sure why not.. End of episode 3 Darth Vader is "born"... Beginning of episode 4 Darth Vader is feared throughout the Galaxy..

NOT having him be part of a movie that spans the space between those two episodes would have been more of a shock then having him in it..

I know the timeline and the fact that many Bothans died to bring the rebels that information, but it does not necessarily follow that he would make an appearance in the film.

Like I said, it's not a big deal but it shouldn't be an assumption.

Like Chaka, I didn't know, either, but that's also because I didn't give it much thought.  Logically, it makes perfect sense for Vader to be in the movie per the timeline and premise.  So on the spoiler scale, learning Vader is in the movie is a 1 out of 10.

Bothans died for the second death Star.  This was mostly humans.

I didn't know but as someone pointed out I should have if I thought about it and I'm sure I would have found out so its not a big deal for me - I just figured it's worth it in case somebody is trying to not find out.

Knowing full well that the term "Bothans" totally belongs in a Star Wars thread, I still initially read this as "Brohans".

The problem, however, may lie in how little screen time he gets. James Earl Jones has reportedly recorded a few lines, but I've read to expect screen time not much more than Luke had in TFA. 

Anyway, new trailer to premier tomorrow night during primetime Olympic coverage. :excited:

Did you decide this doesn't need a spoiler after all?

 
Can someone explain to me the Thrawn angle of Star Wars without giving up too many spoilers.  Thrawn is now the villain for the upcoming Star Wars Rebels and I am unsure of his timeline.  I seem to recall in other Star wars threads that he may be the main bad guy in the upcoming series but the timeline as it stands now is that he is way before where we are at in the movies.

Also its going to be curious how they weave Ezra into the movies as a bad guy because its obviously the direction the cartoon is taking him and the producers of both say the new movies and the Rebels will merge at some point

They have?

 
The overall tone of it seems gritty and realistic like a WW2 movie, but the characters like Donnie Yen's and Forrest Whittaker's and the main bad guy all seem comic-like or even cartoonish.  Will be interesting to see how well it blends together.

Gritty is exactly the word Lucasfilm wants used in relationship to this movie. 

My my favorite shot in the new trailer is the shot looking 3/4-down on the Deathstar with the planet's surface below. Never seen a shot like that in Star Wars. Just lovely work by ILM.

More exicted for this that The Force Awakens.  I like the time period where its set and I love that we're going to get new camera techniques/special effects/shots in a Star Wars time period that solely existed on side angles and screen wipes. 

ETA: Also despite not having any of the main characters of the OT (Mon Motha and the back of Darth Vaders head withstanding), this feels like it has more ties to the OT than TFA....and while I'm one who doesn't feel the need to harken back to the good ole days....this is pretty cool.

Felicity Jones is in this. This movie won't be bad. She's in this. Hottest female in any Star Wars movie to date. Yeah, I said it. It's worth seeing cause she's in it. 

 
And yeah I think this may be better than FA.  The fact they have more liberties and don't have to follow some preset storyline will make for a better movie I think.  Look, we all love Han and Chewie and moving on from the old Star Wars flicks, but I think the "spinoffs" may actually prove to be better films.
