<p>I perused it thoroughly with my sons and they LOVED it, they missed some dialogue in the trash compacters ( Nerd alert ) </p> -
<p>Bit of a slow burner after all the hype last year, this one feels like it will sneak up on us a bit. It has definitely reminded me how much I want to see the "classic" look appear back on screen though, apparently there will be an explanation of why DV was rather slow and laboured in his fight with Obi Wan ( as opposed to poor choreography in a film they had no idea would become what it did.....)</p>

<p>RIP Kenny "R2D2" Baker. Shit photos of him and Peter "Chewie" Mayhew look funny ( the "normal" sized guy in this pic is the body of Darth Vader who was himself a massive unit )</p>

<p>Not sure why, even in the 70s, a guy was needed inside the suit to operate it though ? surely some sort of remote control could have done the trick ? it's not like R2 actually physically did much ( apart from forget he used to be able to fly )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still a great character though especially for something that just bleeps and chirps.....</p> -
Did British studios have a colony of dwarves on their payroll during that time? They were featured in alot of films around that time. Seems they lost interest in them after Willow.<br><br>
Just on the latest trailer showing the back of DVs head, I have to reiterate my reservations about that Samurai dude. He sucks balls. -

<p>As I said, I'm hoping he thinks he's pretty tough.....and then gets fucked over royally by everyones favourite sith lord.</p> -
@Crazy-Horse Why not? I was watching Edge of Tomorrow last night and it struck me just how good an actor he is. Certainly better than most actors in Star Wars...Just realised I responded to a post from two years ago thanks to the new forum software taking me to the first page...

@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.
