Gotta say I love the siren.

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 +++++++

I can't tell from the IMDB page who is playing Mon Mothma, but holy hell that's good casting. I would almost swear they face-mapped the original actress onto someone. And the costumes and sets look terrific as well. Looks like we finally get to see a Grand Admiral actually doing things on screen instead of just sitting at a conference table.

actually got chills when Donnie Yen popped up with some badassery - and i'm not a man who often chills

Gotta admit, looks terrific.

holy shit, this looks amazing

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

ohhhh shit

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.

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

Hang on, is the protagonist called Gin Ulcer?

Some seem to think the shot at 1:18 is him.

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.

Pretty excited to see Ben Mendelsohn as a creepy imperial fucker.

xp that looks like the emperor to me.

Guys we get one of these movies every year now! THE SYSTEM WORKS

Why are the rebels and the stormtroopers trying to catch trains at a metro station

Also does anybody else think they cast FW basically just to be the guy who says the trailer stuff? I bet you he has one scene and we just saw most of it

this trailer only for my true rebel scum

The Mon Mothma actresses from ROTJ, ROTS and this trailer:

^^Many Bothans died to bring you that picture.

That's consistency!

which one of these characters is Manny Both'anns?

Same actress as ROTS in this new one I think

why are females in movies? someone explain to me

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

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

lol

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.

otm all around

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.

hehe "stroke wards" i c what u did there

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

it is the same actress from ROTS:

http://www.hitfix.com/harpy/mon-mothma-actress-gets-the-last-laugh-after-being-cut-from-star-wars-revenge-of-the-sith

although she looks younger now

it's not part of another trilogy, these will all be one-offs

guys the Bothans died getting the plans for the *second* Death Star
sheesh

yes, but I need that joke NOW

doesn't matter it's great and worth talking about again! I was kind of amazed at what a sausage factory the production was. Considering the mess behind the scenes they really pulled it together. The last 30 min are just killer.

Totally agree with you. It's the only one that, for the most part, captured the classic SW feel. "Solo" feels like a big budget TV movie by comparison.

(from when such things as TV movies existed)
