Also 99% certain that Alan Tudyk will be voicing the gangly-looking droid you can see in a bunch of shots.

Some of the comments on the twitter make the point* that we don't see Darth Vader in this, which is interesting - it'd be a better movie without him, but I can see how it could be seen as 'cheating'.
*mostly in the key of waaaah, but so it goes.

I sure as fuck HOPE we don't have to see Darth Vader in this. Have we not seen enough Darth Vader in our lives? I think that would suck. But this is only the first teaser trailer. If he is in there, there is a chance they'll save it for a later reveal.

if I recall correctly, Darth Vader wasn't exactly in love with the Death Star in the original film. Maybe he got involved in a later stage.

With the counter ticking down, they'll finally be captured, but as they are being escorted to their doom, their captors will suddenly fly horizontally off one of those rail-less bridges. Looking around, they see a distant black-caped figure giving them a double thumbs-up..

Checking twitter, there is mixed speculation as to whether DV will be in this. Some seem to think the shot at 1:18 is him. Once again, I really really hope that this is someone different from the Galactic Empire.
― how's life, Thursday, 7 April 2016 13:20 (eight years ago) link
yeah, looks fun
against all the odds marvel's current darth vader comicbook is really good - if he does have to be in rogue one it'd be nice to acknowledge the comics somehow

I tried to pause there and that just looks to me like someone with a hood up. Not bulky-looking or broad-shouldered enough to be Vader.

As long as JEJ is still with us I'll be cool with Vader being in things.

I have no idea how people can watch things and have that reaction
they made the main hero of the trailer human, now that's some xenophobia, I will not countenance this continued hatred
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:53 (eight years ago) link
good point, main character should have been a Bothan, they are constantly dying in the background for the rebel cause, but never get a starring role

glad to see the trend started in Rebels of small unaffiliated groups that are rising up getting drafted into a coordinated rebellion

Okay, I was skeptical, but this looks pretty good. In fact, I daresay I'm more hyped about this trailer than I was about any of the Force Awakens trailers.

Can't beat a quality British accent on the villains.
Epic Forest Whitaker + burly dude with dreads is producing a mild Battlefield Earth flashback, but it'll pass.
Also more tears from the MRAs +++++++

the guys from The Raid were criminally underused in Force Awakens; they need to correct that with Mr Yen this time. Ip Man vs The Empire is some sort of dream.

I hope they eventually make an all-female Star Wars movie. Hospitals will need to get some extra help in the stroke wards on the day it's announced.

so just to confirm, this movie is not part of some other trilogy right, just a one off? Trailer did admittedly look pretty good to me, and that story line in particular is a good one, if you're going to just revisit old stuff. Probably anticlimactic tho
― Dominique, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:28 (eight years ago) link
it is the same actress from ROTS:

"wtf does 'Bothan' mean as a verb"
Basically the same as 'smurf', e.g. "Many Bothans bothaned to bothan this information."

I think they cast him so I can say "Star Wars: The Forest Awhitakens", and then shuffle embarrassedly off the thread.
