This trailer doesn't excite me at all. Second half with the sirens is just generic action movieish. Still can't wait for movie.

She looks exactly the same and mon mothma is in Jedi for all of 62 seconds or something like that



Yep, it's the same actress from Episode 3. Obviously they can't use the same lady from ROTJ.

The lady that played mon Mothma in Jedi is 83. You really think she should be in it instead of the 38 year old who looks exactly like mon mothma in Jedi?

I don't predict there will be much "fun" or "joy" in the period of the Empire the film is portraying. Kind of the height of power for Palpatine.


This. And that's the way it should be.

Definitely

We've now had a death star in 4 of 8 star wars movies


Well the whole story behind this anthology film revolves around the Death Star sooooo I don't know if you were expecting something different or you just want to be a difficult viewer

It's more than Old White Guy. Hidalgo has hinted that Thrawn would appear in the next season of Rebels and that this would be the last season with finale taking place right before Rogue One begins.

It is cute and slightly infuriating how they keep ripping tiny bits and pieces out of the old EU but putting their own spin on things.


They've been pretty clear that they are going to pick and choose from the EU. There is a lot of good stuff in the EU but there is an equal (or more) amount of crap.

Of course not. My point was people don't look drastically different in 3 years. It's one reason I'm not looking forward to a 26 year old actor who looks nothing like Harrison Ford playing Han 6 years before how he appeared in ANH.

But I agree, I'm getting Death Star overload. This story is about them stealing the plans, but there's no discovery aspect. It would be more interesting if we didn't already know what the secret weapon will be. I think it's better to make a movie about them stealing the plans to the Death Star without actually having it on the screen. We don't need to see it because we know what it is, and it makes the story feel smaller in a good way


In the book Tarkin, no one in that universe knows much about the battle station. This could be a good movie to explain how things happened literally right before a New Hope.

That ninja with a stick would last as long as the Arab in Raiders of the Lost Arc in real life surrounded by stormtroopers with blasters. Never mind the fact that the character is rumored to be blind.

Is it just me, or does this character (who I think is played by Diego Luna) look a lot like Poe Dameron?



I'm wondering if he turns out to be Kes Dameron, Poe's father.

Felicity Jones can act. That alone gives me great hope for this movie. Ive been a fan of hers since Like Crazy with Anton Yelchin.

I'm holding out for the action/Romcom with Katherine Heigl.

With any luck maybe a cameo by Melissa McCarthy as Jabba's Mom.

You're rolling your eyes at a movie about Death Star plans having a fricking Death Star in it? Don't watch it then.

She's up there for me with Hayley Atwell. I really enjoy them both as actresses. Jones was also fantastic in The Theory of Everything.

I'm also a fan of Diego Luna.
