Star Wars Anthology shit talk (Rogue One, Young Solo, TBD)

so i guess they are going to cover the info getting to Princess Leia in this, since ANH starts and she already has it. so maybe we'll see a cameo of young Leia.

One would hope

Was there a rumor or confirmation Jimmy Smits was seen on set? I think they possibly did the next best thing and have the intel handed off to Leia's father at the end, with the implication one of his secret cells will handle it. They've structured a lot of the recent books/cartoons around the different rebel cells leading up to this point, with Leia making some appearances but most of it being handled by intermediaries, or in the case of really important intel, Bail Organa himself

btw anyone else notice the orchestral theme in this trailer is an interpolation of the Star Wars main theme, where the last one was an interpolation of the Imperial march? very well done versions, imo

mendelsohn looks perfect in this

Can we just watch the trailers and forsake the films

I feel like Mendelsohn looks sort of ...neutralized? His best roles have been as fun, quirky bad guys and this character just seems comparatively cookbook

Just wish he could keep his accent. Boba Fett's a Kiwi now, why can't we have Imperial Australians?

Do we know who's in the Vader suit? Prowse is both too old and persona non grata at Lucasfilm, so I'm curious.

I mean the person in the Vader suit is the hand inside Kermit the frog it really doesn't matter so long as the voice is right

You say that, but like 30 seconds of Christiansen in the suit is still being mocked 11 years later.

A) true

B) George Lucas

Jeeze. Come on mate. You'd prefer another target, a military target? In your own time.
Dantooine? Yeah, nah. Boys, when you're ready, have a lash.

It's this guy

I am pretty psyched now that there's a detectable storyline in the trailer. Before it just looked kinda cool but I wasn't really all that sure of what I was seeing.

Also v excited for what I'm calling "The Pacific Theater" At-At's

I'm not the only one who thinks she looks exactly like a lego minifig in this shot, right?

Diego's not really bringing the crucial look-like-you-belong-here ingredient to impersonating an officer, either

i hope there's some kind of 'inglorious basterds in the basement of the tavern' moment where he's called out for not being clean-shaven.

I think Rebels impersonating Imperials poorly is a running joke of the series!

Nobody's ever going to top Han's radio conversation, though.

"Situation normal..."

Uh we are all good right here... how are you?

Donald Glover is officially playing Lando, y'all. http://www.starwars.com/news/donald-glover-cast-as-young-lando-calrissian-in-upcoming-han-solo-star-wars-stand-alone-film

:D

kind of a bigger name, but.. this seems fine?

*star wars nerd voice*
who is playing Sana?

fuck those guys about "pandering" though, those guys are awesome casting

Eh, there is no way to see Forest Whitaker and not think of "Battlefield Earth" unless you have not seen "Battlefield Earth." (Directed by second unit Star Wars director!)

I must be brainwashed by the new sjw media because someone mentioned "another movie with a female lead? is this a thing now?" and I was like "idk I guess?" like it seemed weirder that the jedi council had so many dudes in the Lucas films

I have never seen Battlefield Earth! My first thought with Forest Whitaker is nearly always Ghost Dog

The only person who reminds me of battlefield earth is Barry Pepper

there they go pandering to half the human population again.

pandering has no place in this sequel to a prequel to a genre exercise.

They are pandering to robots.

But yeah, totally, this so-called pandering is only conspicuous due to the equally if not more conspicuous total lack of diversity in the earlier films and for that matter virtually all films.

can't believe they didn't hire a white guy as lando. SJWs!

Social Justice Wars why not call it

EPISODE V
THE EMPIRE STRIKES CUCK

It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Although the Donald has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from Twitter and pursued them across the internet.

Evading the dreaded Imperial Eggfleet, a group of SJWs led by Luke Cagefan has established a new secret base on the remote social media platform of Medium.

The evil lord Breitbarth Vader, obsessed with finding young Cagefan, has dispatched thousands of remote trolls into the far reaches of cyberspace...

lol

^^^^ THIS!!

i always think of Panic Room and the Crying Game

I think of all sorts of stuff he's popped up in, from Fast Times to the Shield to Species, if I'm being honest, for the scene where he's playing a psychic whe sees like a train car covered in blood and mumbles "something bad happened here." Or the Key and Peele bit.

But sci-fi Forest is Battlefield Earth, all the way.

he was in fast times? I didn't realize he'd been acting for quite that long

that day you realize forest whitaker has been in every single movie

I always think of this when I think of him because I saw this scene again after years and years and was like "oh shit that's forest whitaker". I had no idea he had been in it.

I love that the director's summary of the movie is the same thing I've been using to describe it to people who aren't sure when this film takes place.

"So, that opening text at the beginning of A New Hope, this is that movie"

eee it looks so good

i am excite

WOAH. i am excite too!

lol @ "So, that opening text at the beginning of A New Hope, this is that movie"

i want to say why didn't Lucas sell Star Wars 30 years ago. but the tech was not there, no way you could have had anything, even the side-movies, look this good.
