I searched and couldn't find this.

Rebels set out on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3748528/


I am cautiously looking forward to this. I like the cast but I think Forest Whitaker is out of place here though.

Oh Nuul you disgrace you.

Looking forward to seeing Vader again.

A prequel set during the OT, should be good, kinda liking the idea of the spin off films but just hoping they aren't crappy like the PT

In the suit and Voiced by James Earl Jones that's all that matters.

But apparently they're going to get a lot of different stunt men in the suit. So this Vader will be pretty agile.

Oh jeez leave the PT alone. It's been over 10years now. Let it go.

That's good

he's very agile if you've ever check out some of the Star Wars comics



as for the era which we seen in the Prequel trilogy i don't mind it, More so with the comics & some of the games then the movies.

Yep. Have read them, but his agility has never been depicted properly on screen before. So Rogue One should show Vader properly.

I think he'll be more than a cameo. Apparently they have multiple stunt men in the suit.

My intial thoughts:

Who is the white-clad Imperial, his insignia suggests an Admiral, is this the new Thrawn?

Who is that robed Sithy guy? Not Vader, and Palpy doesn't bend the knee. mmm

Not sure what to make of the new AT-ATs, they look cool, but where were they at the Battle of Hoth?

I like the lead character, she seems cool. Mothma also looks cool.

Firefly218
I was picturing a cool space heist movie but the trailer looks more generic and explosion/actiony then I'd expected. The female lead looks kickass though.

quanchi112
Very, very good teaser. I like the tension in this teaser.

Inhuman
Good Trailer. Cant wait.

One little thing though Another female lead qtired

ares834

why do i get a major hunger games feeling from this? this feels like hunger games made for star wars

other than that i liked it. i won't watch any more trailers though. don't want to have the whole movie spoiled for me. i actually want to enjoy this and hope it's good. I didn't like the last SW movie.

@Ares, I figure that's a possibility. There are also rumours Thrawn will appear in Rebels so I guess we'll see if he's blue or not. One's thing for a certain a Fleet Admiral of significance is being added to Canon.

Concerning the Sithy guy that depends on what you intepret him to be kneeling before, its doesn't look like any kind of holographic projector, more like a carbonite chamber of something. Very curious. Too tall and broad to be Palpy though me thinks.

Darth Thor
Nice teaser! And I like Lucasfilm has given us 2 new female leads. It's refreshing tbh.

The last Inquisitor maybe?

Or perhaps an early connection to the Knights of Ren? Snoke?

Like I said its just an observation. Im not angry or ranting.
This doesnt seem too forced and she will most likely be great.
Just that including empowered women into film seems to be the current trend and if you dont then youll get spammed by SJW's in all forms of social media.

Im just not blind to trends. But I guess its just my imagination.

Not true, there are just as many females in the general audience as males. The idea that women are only interested in the notebook is disingenuous. There's a serious double standard going where no one bats an eye to the leading man but when it's a woman she's hyper scrutinized. Had Rey been a guy in TFA there'd be absolutely no accusation of Mary Sue or whatever from idiots on twitter. Also a strong empowered character means that he or she is written to be dynamic, multi-faceted and sometimes flawed but ultimately courageous in some way, not just punch bad people really hard and do back flips.

Excuse me? Research please before throwing out false information. There were not "Just as many women". Star Wars has always been a male dominated event in terms of audience. TFA ticket sales were comprised of almost 60% adult males.

So you dont see any "forced" inclusion of females just for the sake of it without making much sense nowadays?

If its natural then its fine, but if its to fit a trend of agenda then its stupid.

Im not saying this is the case for Rogue One but it is for others movies recently.

These new Star Wars movies need to inspire a whole new generation of boys AND girls alike. Appealing to only a small demographic of white adult men is called one-dimensional, idiotic and is stuck in a very particular and outdated mindset. Step out of the cave cave man

Agree it's refreshing to have more female leads but don't agree with this.

Peoples problem with that was that she just began to use the force and could suddenly overpower a trained force user like Kylo Ren.

Once she's fully trained, then by all means have her kick Ren's butt. And Snoke's while she's at it.

She is better at piloting the falcon than Han too.

Yeah she was definitely overpowered in the movie, with how she randomly masters the jedi mind trick with no training is a bit cringe worthy along with the Kylo Ren fight. I don't think it was coming from some feminazi mary sue agenda or anything like lots of ppl were saying though, I think JJ just really wanted his character to be special and kickass.

steverules_2
To be fair to Han if they'd had more fancy CGI when star wars first came out I'm sure we would've had some more bad ass stunts from Han in the falcon.

Rey is Luke & Leia's offspring. She was deserted because of the incest shame

That entire scene would have been great if Han and chewie were already on the falcon. It would have made more sense not to mention it would have been easier to accept the impossible maneuvers. It would have been a heroic moment that Han would have in the movie.

ares834
I'm beginning to think Mendelsohn's character my be a very high ranking ISB agent (perhaps the director?) rather then a Grand Admiral. It would make far more sense for a character that is part of ISB to be protecting the Death Star.

Darth Thor
^ Maybe. But seems to have more of a Grand Admital look.

Beniboybling
I doubt he's assigned to the Death Star otherwise surely he would have been a the war table in Yularen's place.

Still guess he could be the director of the ISB, as this is a security issue...

AuraAngel
At first I thought this was supposed to be the Han Solo movie since I know he's getting one and he's the biggest rogue in the galaxy, the scruffy nerf herder. So when I saw Twitter blowing up about another main lady I was perplexed, same as when I watched the trailer.

Now that I know that this is different from Han's movie I don't really understand the issue. They needed a new protagonist, they went with a lady. Whether it's James Dean or Felicity Jones, anyone can be a rebel without a cause. Apparently people are worried that this hero will be perfect like Rey but that's silly. One: if the hero can do 600 different things to the point that they render their friends little more than salad dressing, then they're bad regardless of gender. Two: this Jyn Erso chick seems to have actual issues like a chip on her shoulder and a massive attitude towards people who are working for the good of the galaxy. These are faults that can be addressed in a good story, like Han from ANH(though obviously not the same).

Is the character a bit young to be doing all these things? Eh, maybe. Keep in mind that we're now used to adult males as the heroes due to Marvel being the biggest name in Hollywood. They seem to be going with a Hunger Games/Harry Potter like young hero. Got a lot of talent but a lot of teenaged angst. There just isn't enough in the trailer to discredit her imo.

So I think this flick looks fun for now. Obviously we gotta wait and see.

ares834
The character doesn't seem to be that young to me. Mid-20's maybe, so certainly not Harry Potter/Hunger games age.

Except that these movies are now being made by Disney. And that company is way heavy in to is SJWness to Hardcore Extremes. They love to push their political and social beliefs down our throats with a lightsaber.

Like the crap they are pulling with the state of Georgia.

ares834
Despite what some people may believe. Having the main character of a story be a women or a person of color does not mean the story is SJW.

Flyattractor
True. But it is a HIGLY unlikely outcome with this movie being made by Disney.

Rey was pretty much a female version of Luke. Although Rey was kinda like Han too in the pilot/mechanic aspecterm

No. Mary Poppins was from back in the day when all musicals were made by Homosexuals. So I guess they were about F UCK Men even back then.

I bet not. I don't think Disney can do it. Jedi are the SuperHeros of Sci Fi and The Diz wants that Sci Fi $$$$!!!!

Nephthys
Hamill stated in an interview that he was having trouble with a scene. Lucas kept asking him to redo it. So he tried to imagine how Lucas would act if he was doing it and did it that way. Naturally Lucas loved it. Which is when Hamill figured out exactly what Lucas' concept of Luke was.

I bet none of them. But you see even with training he could not stand up to a Sith Lord. In fact he got his ass handed to him by a Sith who was holding back.

Rey on the other hand literally mind rapes a Sith 2 minutes after encountering mind rape for the first time. A force user that has been force trained for years by Luke Skywalker and subsequently Snoke.

Luke is a sue but he got nothing on Rey. **** she might be even worse than Anakin. Mr. I blow up space stations when I am 9 years old.

Zack Fair
For the record I always disliked the Sues in SW.

To this day Anakin makes me cringe in episode 1. -_-

Though if you're expecting Rey to just be a random person then you'll probably be disappointed. Disney is clearly milking the mysterious past and are gonna play it straight.

Luke and Leia are dead by the end of this trilogy anyway, if they continue to follow the Star Wars trilogy formula. So far they've followed that formula with Han Solo.

Perhaps they will change it a little and leave one of them alive by the end. Perhaps.

Perhaps they will change it a little and leave one of them alive by the end. Perhaps.

Luke is dead for sure. He will pull the Noble Sacrifice at some point. Maybe 3rd movie. Leia stands the best chance for survival. Gotta git rid of all the Old People. Disney hates those too.

And after re-viewing the trailers.

I feel it is probably a good time to point out how RACIST they seem to be.

Bad Disney Bad.

Does anyone else think this could be the first Star Wars movie without a light saber duel?

They'll be no Jedi and I don't think Vader or Palps will make an appearance, so yes.

Pretty sure Vader is in it. Even though it's not been officially confirmed.

Vader is rumored to have a significant battle scene, but it's just a rumor right now.

I'm really sick of prequels. They need to start a Star Wars tv show that spans the entire universe so we don't have to go to the cinema to see some shit that already happened. They could save so much money this way. Sign a deal with Netflix or fx. That Han Solo movie may actually work in a show format but in a universe where his character is now dead is pointless. The only reason I'll be seeing this is for the hope of seeing some cool dog fights and Vader murdering rebels

Don't have an issue with reshoots, as long as the final product is awesome.

Do hope they're not reshooting because someone said "it's too dark" and they end up ruining the film by trying to force it into something it was never intended to be from the start.

Can't wait for it, looked awesome from the trailer.

The only reason reshoots are getting coverage is because of the BVS debacle. Now every film that gets reshoots is seen as a cluster****.

Robtard
If the story is to be believed, it claims that the reshoots are being done due to Disney execs not happy with the turned in product

LMMFAO... don't believe the reshooting stuff, especially given where the story originates...

Did BVS have reshoots? Cause good god, it needed to be totally revamped. I can't believe they saw that and said, "Yeah, this is good to release." Especially considering they have so much riding on it for a "DC Universe."

MakingStarWars is reporting that the film is reshooting roughly 40% of the film...

http://makingstarwars.net/2016/06/how-extensive-will-the-rogue-one-reshoots-be/

Yikes. That doesn't sound good at all.

playa1258
Apparently to give it a lighter tone too.

Disney does not want to piss families off.

Kazenji
I was reading the during the week, Disney wants to make the film a bit more lighter then what the trailers seem to be aiming for.

playa1258
Which is bullshit. Not every film needs a light tone. This film was pitched as a war movie. They probably got exactly that and after the BvS fiasco changed their minds.

The Suicide Squad reshoots were more worrying, as they were taking place less than three months from the release date. With this film still 6 1/2 months away from release, I'm giving them more the benefit of the doubt. Reshoots are always scheduled for these huge films; it's when they come and when the release date starts to get fluid that worrying becomes valid.

I hope not. The entire point of this film was to be a war film. For me, it's part of the appeal giving us something very unique from the rest of the SW films.

Probably want to put some comic relief character's in, After the success of BB-8 in Force Awakens.

It's likely most if not all of these spy characters for the rebels die. They - Disney - knew what they signed up for. Surely they know being too serious and dark has never hurt Star Wars in the past; it's what's helped raise it's reputation as a great saga when it does.

Esau Cairn
The re-shoots are being done to give young Han Solo a much bigger role in the plot than just a cameo.

Also something about Rogue One feeling too much like a stand alone film that currently doesn't flow "naturally" straight into A New Hope.

Suicide Squad was aparently having problems with the 3rd act (in line with most Will Smith films). Plus probably reacting to the reception of BvS.

But for Rogue One reshoots of 40% means Disney just didn't like the film that was presented. Doesn't mean it was bad, just that Disney were not satisfied with it.

Shame as this is the first one to star completely all new characters. They will stick to the old school characters if this doesn't work.

Vader confirmed.

40%?

OUCH.

Kazenji
I don't see what the big deal is about the reshoots Most movies do them.

marwash22
the reshoots are to add more Vader.

there's now 40% more Vader.

you're welcome.

Can never have enough Vader.

Against who? Lol. There's no one for him to fight.

Rebels is the only place we can get some Vader in proper combat.

playa1258
Probably smacking around the rebels.

NotAllThatEvil
It would be nice to see him just dominate a revel squad or something.

StiltmanFTW
He'll be killing thorbags left and right, using Force TK to stuff Mjolnir replicas in their anuses.

As long as they don't try and tie this prequel movie into the new films somehow

because Snoke was around that time watching everything unfold.

Darth Thor
^ True Snoke was hiding from Vader and Palpatine in this time period.

Flyattractor
So how does SNOKE not fall under that No EU Rule?

BruceSkywalker
lols all this talk of Vader being in the film.... He prolly is only at the end laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud big grin big grin big grin big grin
