Well that gives us fuck all to go on.
Hopefully half the movie isn't cheesy Luke/Rey training montages although I suspect a lot will be.
I've heard geek rumours that Super AT ATs will be making an appearance.
Three new Star Wars flicks in three years. For those of us who had to endure the drought of 83-99 this is soooooo good. Our kids don't know how lucky they are.

Yep that looks awesome. Already I'm picking it will be darker in tone than TFA.
Well, once they shoved an episode of "Everyone Dies At The End" down our throats, I reckon they've got carte blanche to ride that pony until nerds start committing suicide.

@mariner4life run, run far away!

I've just got round to watching Rogue One (I'm not quite such a SWs geek as some), I found it a little patchy. The build up was, to me, a little slow and dare I say it dull? But the second part when most of the action took place was, I thought well thought out, good narrative and the action sequences were really well done. The CGI on Grand Moff Tarkin wasn't so bad but Princess Pasty-Head was a bit more plasticky.
All in all a good filler until TLJ arrives.

I watched it again last week and agree with all that you say.
One of the key things for me was the lack of John Williams score. It really made it not seem like a SW movie without it until the second part where the soundtrack became more familiar.
Knowing what has come out since the release it is now quite obvious that the end movie was quite a bit different to some of the stuff and story line they originally filmed. I think that adds to the 'patchwork' feel of the first half.They managed to mesh the end of the movie well into Ep IV though. The only credibility stretch was Vader being so kickass at the end of RO then catching up with them a little later only to walk on set and put his hands on his hips and doing a gay twirl.

Im the opposite, i enjoyed RO more then TFA.
Less cheesier, the space battle at the end was easily one of the best if not the best seen in a SW movie.
And of course the small cameo at the end from Darth Vader wasnt half bad... -

@Virgil I don't think either @Catogrande or I compared RO to TFA.
I was just making points about RO. Overall I really enjoyed it.
That's another positive for RO, it wasn't made the same as TFA.
These stand alone ones have to stand out from the new trilogy a much as possible. -

killing everyone off certainly proved that!
