@virgil ( cheers for the fb share ) @taniwharugby @mariner4life
Just gonna leave this here. Fantastic to see confirmed sightings of D Vader and hoping he plays a big part. I thought the Geonosians designed the Death Star though, not Mads whatshisname from Bond and Hannibal. Apparently that blind Asian dude is a "force sensitive" which explains how he can take out stormtroopers with what looks like a stick......and of course any scene with AT AT's is automatically granted legendary status.
I genuinely reckon this looks better than the Force Awakens, thoughts ?

The bond villain designed the weapon system (which is based on an upsized lightsaber apparantly).
Looks good so far, not getting a huge marketing push though which is interesting.
Ah righto, that makes sense.
Like the prequels we can pretty much pick what's gonna happen, but I'm betting it's still gonna be absolutely sensational.

Bro. Its Star Wars
Trailer looks good. Some of the landscape work is fantastic. And pretty much anything involving Mads Mikkelsen is going to rock.

Yep. Landscape looks as good as anything we've ever seen in Star Wars to be honest. I'm assuming that imperial dude dies ( along with virtually Every one else unless they're essentially soldiers for hire who fuck off to another galaxy far, far away once their job is done )
In terms of the stormtroopers lots of them should still be Jango clones and as such be pretty effective.

I thought that by then the clone troopers had pretty much gone. Most were Empire forced drafts by the time this is set.
Anyway, this looks really promising. Nice to have a new story arc that hasn't been picked over. I also wonder how this can end up and tie in with canon without them all dying or retired to the outer rim as New Hope starts straight after and these guys are nowhere to be seen.

Apparently the troops that stormed the Tantive IV ( start of a New hope ) were the last of the clones, "Vaders fist" but they never got Tem back to do the voiceovers so not sure how "Canon" that is.

Because I'm not up on the Canon, just how many death stars were there?

2 I believe. Some Nerds are whinging that it wasn't realistic that the first one had a flaw and could be destroyed but history is littered with all sorts of prototypes that crapped out for one reason or another. Titanic being an obvious one.

Here is a different trailer with some behind the scenes footage.

Also took the son of the chosen one getting help from a space ghost to make the shot. Everyone else got killed.

I think the plot in this is that Jyn's dad is the Death Star architect. He is coerced into the job and realises what its purpose is too late. Maybe he put the flaw there on purpose.

The Red leader just about did it tough, the equivalent of a drop goal bouncing off a post I guess. Also when Han comes out of nowhere to save the day the Millienium Falcon appeared to have front guns that weren't there previously.
Definitely a possibility, after all some nerds put this bloke forward as a possible Rebel sympathizer too. I reckon this is 100% true.

I will of course see this film with my kids as soon as it comes out. However, I am highly sceptical. The extra scenes for the Samurai dude make it even more likely that he's a pisstake (force sensitive samurai ffs) and I'm not looking forward to seeing Forrest "earnest shocked look" Whittaker.
I guess the bigger problem is that we'll see a host of characters who apparently played major roles in the rebellion but aren't even mentioned in the original series and (Samurai aside) are probably 100 times cooler.
Another important thing is that this is presumably taking place shortly before the events of ANH which would make Leia a pretty vital player. Is she even in this film?

Who knows? She might be in the end when they pass on the plans (I'm hoping for a young Tony Stark style CGI for that). Much more likely we'll see C3PO and R2D2, so they can keep up the record of being the only characters in all the Star Wars films.
The way the movie is being shown as a war movie genre, I'm half expecting most of the characters to end up dead. Also, the Rebellion was quite large, and we only followed a small part of it.
If they didn't cross paths with the main characters in the first three films, why should we seem them again?
