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

otm

I think there should be a scene where he takes his cloak off. Wouldn't he look weird without the cloak!

there's all kinds of new stuff. i heard about rockets in an umbrella -- they're tested at fort detrick? i can show you a dozen poisons! stick it in his food, he'll die in three days! no trace! put something on his cloak, make it fall out -- he'd look fuckin ridiculous without his cloak!

Vader's never a leaping acrobat. More of a heavy presence, batting away or choking minions with a gesture. The ROTJ fight is far from overchoreographed when it comes to swordplay but every strike seems ready to overwhelm any defense.

The Rebels cartoon has done pretty well with that, and the recent Marvel comics as well.

vader: no cloak but: with ~spats~

think about it, let me know

wth this trailer looks like trash idgi

vader vs Luke is ESB is the scariest vader, like he's this huge monstrous dude stalking and striking, it's the closest he comes to a horror movie character in the whole series.

also vader is introduced while choking a bitch to death as he holds them up in the air like a child

i liked vader's hint of a british accent in ep IV

It would appear that Gareth Edwards and his team have been drawing heavily from the Clone Wars + Rebels cartoons for their notes on setting and tone which means this is probably going to be AWESOME and also most of the characters are doomed

Giant gun backpack dude = toast
Yip Man = toast
Felicity Jones = redemption martyr toast
Forest Whitaker = "Nah, I'll sit right here while they blow up my house with me in it" toast
Droid = the droid always survives
Diego Luna = witness

NO SPOILERS TOMBOT

Rosebud was his lightsaber.

Anyway, international trailer, couple of new bits.

all the rebels look really dirty and haggard, so you know they got that right

maybe not in the command center. Mon Mothma still looking senate-ready

Many Bothans died getting her dry cleaning

v good

Ok, this is cute. I dig the klaxon mixing.

Why does this dude need to carry around so many iphones, though

Amazed he gets reception out there

one for each carrier, too difficult to swap sim cards on the run while wearing Death Gloves

'everything that has transpired has done so according to my design'

the dialogue looks terrible ("save the dream"???) but i'll watch the shit out of that

the dialogue has always been terrible

it was relatively good in the last one

true!

this movie looks amazing, I don't care how corny the dialogue is

yeah this looks great

damn, that's an exciting trailer

the overhead shot of the giant half-buried jedi blew me away

jedi statue, i mean

this must be the trailer where they're afraid some of the audience won't understand the setting/premise because it sure spelled it all out

Starting to look like Edwards was a good choice for this -- his tendency to concentrate on the human scale rather than spectacle, that got him noticed with Monsters, kinda backfired on him with Godzilla, where people just wanted more Godzilla. But this is a better sci-fi sandbox in which he can work that stuff out.

Certainly looks gorgeous

most definitely

the original trilogy had some lush planets but it was the forests of endor where it was fairly nondescript forest, or dagobah where the greenery was so dense it seemed claustrophobic

the beach/palm trees battle stuff in this looks ridiculous

that's a generous interpretation of Godzilla Phil

Well, yeah

oh cool a death star

lol did you just drop in here having read and seen nothing about the movie

you bet!

all I did was watch the preview

it also has a darth vader

*whew*

Love everything about this trailer except for the music.

That ain't A Death Star it's THE Death Star. Check yo'self, foo.

felicity jones seems kind of a bad actor - not sure about the plummy delivery

Οὖτι, it has THE Death Star. Well, the first one. It takes place before the original 1977 film and they steal the Death Star plans and do all the junk that was in the opening crawl of the first film to be released.

There, you know it all now, no need for further introspection

That line about hope seemed really off and I'm wondering it if was a voiceover recorded for the trailer

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.
