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

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.

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

at-ats w palm trees in the background Thrilled me tbh

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

lol @ this, reminded me of much happy childhood study of the manual for starcraft

Yeah, palm trees definitely gets us into a new climate. Was so ready for an unfamiliar setting after TFA.

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.

technically all the organisms in the trailer are aliens tbf

The great debate: Are the people in the Star Wars movies humans?

I think reading that thread years ago was the first time I'd realised the Star Wars crew are all filthy alien scum

I did waffle for a minute over how to differentiate between basic human-type space people and less human-ish space people, but just decided that everybody would know what the hell I meant. Is there any wookiepedia-approved guidance for delineation between bipedal space species?

lol we got the scoop on gizmodo

This makes the 8th movie where shit happens on planets. Can't they just shoot a camera off into space and film the void or something?

You'd think it was called "Planet Wars" or something.

Has anyone even fought a star in these movies yet? Such a ripoff.

Wow I've learned a lot abt At-At transport today thx ppl

Are AT-STs the babies of AT-ATs? I've always wondered.

DEATH stars, if those count xp

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--GLtQuylw--/18mnsllx67vt6jpg.jpg

this is mechanically separated AT-AT. it's what the empire uses to make their AT-STs. disgusting

So AT-STs are basically walking dinosaur nuggets.

Chicken (McNugget) Walkers

(That took me way too long.)

This has nothing to do with Rogue One (or does it...?) but since this is currently the happening Star Wars thread, I thought I should post here that I just learned the name of the Tusken Raider that attacked Luke, and his name is URoRRuR'R'R. That is precisely the kind of name I used to give imagined characters in elementary school. It's stupid and I love it.

The best part is when you pronounce the name backwards
