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

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

hey hey we're the Bothans
people say we Bothan around
but we're to busy asking
"wtf does 'Bothan' mean as a verb"

we're not bothan nobody

I had the stomach flu last night and was Bothan out of both ends.

Mon Mothma!
Poet and a prophet
Mon Mothma!
Taught me bout the Bothans

Nice.

"wtf does 'Bothan' mean as a verb"

Basically the same as 'smurf', e.g. "Many Bothans bothaned to bothan this information."

Oh, bothan

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

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

lol

there better be some good forest whitaker content in this thing, is what i'm saying

dude has had too many "I'm a cop / I'm a crooked cop" roles in the last decade, I want some Ghost Dog Awakens

Apparently his character's name is "Eel Leader" so it sounds like that's the direction they went

i think you'll have to wait until the blu-ray release for the star wars: rogue one: special forest whitaker'd edition, unfortunately

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

Shit, that is actually Canary Wharf tube station. Unless they went to all the trouble of building a set that looks *exactly* like Canary Wharf with some SW moulded panels stuck on.

Oh wow that's terrific. You can see exactly where the signs and benches are, just covered in a big hollow sci-fi box. And they painted

bleah. painted the floor, it looks like.

BTW those beige troopers are wearing the third helmet from that Donnie Yen instagram shot. Neat!

ah yay another movie about a death star.

that makes, what, 4 now?

oh dude spoiler alert - we don't even know for sure what kind of weapons system it is, that's what they have to FIND OUT

oh yeah we saw it being built in Ep III also.

so 5 of 8 Star Wars movies have a death star

also 5 of 8 have some form of huge walking tank

7 of 8 have a Yoda

patterns are everywhere

how do the at-ats travel from like the snow to tropical island

do they go through water
can they fly

i have questions

No lightsabres, though. That's a first?

also 5 of 8 have some form of huge walking tank

7 of 8 have a Yoda

patterns are everywhere

8 out of 8 feature white people in leading roles

This trailer doesn't seem to show any aliens. Possibly one at 1:04-1:05 behind the character in the foreground. Hands/arms look to be the wrong proportion for a human.

I still appreciate the theory that Darth Vader is a strong black man and revealing him as a shriveled old white dude in ROTJ was straight up racism

"theory"

somehow that got "Back That Azz Up" stuck in my head

patterns are everywhere

it's like poetry

how do the at-ats travel from like the snow to tropical island

Always wondered abt this as a kid

Movie about the Rebels stealing the Death Star plans has the Death Star in, what a shocking development, color me amazed, etc. etc.

at-ats travel in imperial at-at carriers obv

yeah, afaik they're air-dropped

built on-site, abandoned after use. evil empire, ffs.

AT-ATs can swim, and their powerful legs allow them to jump from planet to planet.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Y-85_Titan_dropship

summoned to the battlefield from an alternate robodimension where they graze peacefully and forced into battle by the power of the dark side

Blissfully ignorant of the horrors of harpoons and tow cables.

after playing that star wars battlefront game, seeing people scattering in the trailer in front of a couple at-ats really kicked in my impulse to run

mr veg & i had a v silly conversation about the at-ats wherein i posited that they had rocket boosters on their feet & mr veg was like lol those things can barely walk as it is, etc

picturing them *trying* to fly is v funny

One of my favorite t-shirts I own has this image on it:

disney will really be missing out on an audience of hip young millennials if we don't see at least one at-at twerking
