Ah, thanks. Have they released/leaked the names for most of the characters yet? I'm curious who Mads Mikkelsen plays in the film. There were rumors that he would be a younger version of Lor San Tekka, Max Von Sydnow's character character in TFA.

or how about this, don't force a death star into Ep7 if you know you're making another death star centric movie that will be coming out only a year later.

ok so I guess you're ok with starkiller base 2 in episode 8? how many death stars are enough?


It's "A Star Wars Story". It's literally set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. It's the same Death Star. So not Episode 8 in the way you're describing it. More like 3.5.

So just a couple of points after rewatching

I at first thought the Imperial in white was Grand Moff Tarkin but after thinking about that it can't be. The time line doesn't fit.

Second, Disney has managed to create some iconic shots between these two movies: the first being the crashed Star Destroyer and TIEs coming out of the sun in TFA and now the Star Destroyers and Death Star being fitted out. Also is there anything more bad arse than an Imperial Star Destroyer? You can tell it was designed and built to be a warship, nothing as weak as those Federation ships

I mean I'm not complaining about a Death Star in a Star Wars movie about stealing the plans to a Death Star. You don't have to get mad because you're an idiot.

I'm not complaining about that either.

if you don't see an issue with the filmmaker's seeming inability to expand beyond the realm of the death star in a universe as deep and as rich as star wars', then you're the idiot.

So what exactly would you like it to explore instead?

NWHoustonTiger, go to makingstarwars.net for that information. BTW, they mention the return of a favorite original trilogy character for Episode 8. Four letter name.

This thread is about the new movie which is about stealing the Death Star plans. So if you're not an idiot, then your complaining is in the wrong place and annoying.

I hope the actor playing the villain doesn't talk the way he did in The Dark Knight Rises. It was so grating.

I'm already seeing a ton of people complaining about another death star. I understand it's a part of this story, but I still think it was incredibly dumb to include it in TFA.
Well, it's the same death start as in Star Wars, and the movie is about stealing the plans (by a heroic 15 year old girl, for some reason), so we can give this one a pass.

It can't be Vader.

I expect him to show up in the next few trailers. That has to be the emperor in the cloak.

They say she's been on her own since the age of fifteen. Not that she is fifteen.

What does it matter if she's a woman or not though? I have yet to see a reasonable explanation for why it's so egregious to have a female heroic lead in two out of eight movies in a series.
