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
― Rob Boss (latebloomer), Thursday, 13 October 2016 21:04 (seven years ago) link
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
― mh đ, Thursday, 13 October 2016 21:10 (seven years ago) link
that's a generous interpretation of Godzilla Phil

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
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 13 October 2016 22:32 (seven years ago) link
ÎáŊĪΚ, 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
― mh đ, Thursday, 13 October 2016 23:22 (seven years ago) link
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.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 13 October 2016 23:37 (seven years ago) link
One would hope
― calstars, Friday, 14 October 2016 02:32 (seven years ago) link
Was there a rumor or confirmation Jimmy Smits was seen on set? I think they possibly did the next best thing and have the intel handed off to Leia's father at the end, with the implication one of his secret cells will handle it. They've structured a lot of the recent books/cartoons around the different rebel cells leading up to this point, with Leia making some appearances but most of it being handled by intermediaries, or in the case of really important intel, Bail Organa himself

btw anyone else notice the orchestral theme in this trailer is an interpolation of the Star Wars main theme, where the last one was an interpolation of the Imperial march? very well done versions, imo

mendelsohn looks perfect in this
― nomar, Saturday, 15 October 2016 00:11 (seven years ago) link
Can we just watch the trailers and forsake the films
― calstars, Saturday, 15 October 2016 00:13 (seven years ago) link
I feel like Mendelsohn looks sort of ...neutralized? His best roles have been as fun, quirky bad guys and this character just seems comparatively cookbook
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 15 October 2016 01:23 (seven years ago) link
Just wish he could keep his accent. Boba Fett's a Kiwi now, why can't we have Imperial Australians?

Do we know who's in the Vader suit? Prowse is both too old and persona non grata at Lucasfilm, so I'm curious.
― GUNSHOW POOPHOLE (Phil D.), Saturday, 15 October 2016 03:05 (seven years ago) link
I mean the person in the Vader suit is the hand inside Kermit the frog it really doesn't matter so long as the voice is right
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 15 October 2016 03:07 (seven years ago) link
You say that, but like 30 seconds of Christiansen in the suit is still being mocked 11 years later.
― GUNSHOW POOPHOLE (Phil D.), Saturday, 15 October 2016 03:08 (seven years ago) link
A) true
B) George Lucas

I am pretty psyched now that there's a detectable storyline in the trailer. Before it just looked kinda cool but I wasn't really all that sure of what I was seeing.
Also v excited for what I'm calling "The Pacific Theater" At-At's

I'm not the only one who thinks she looks exactly like a lego minifig in this shot, right?

Diego's not really bringing the crucial look-like-you-belong-here ingredient to impersonating an officer, either

i hope there's some kind of 'inglorious basterds in the basement of the tavern' moment where he's called out for not being clean-shaven.
― nomar, Sunday, 16 October 2016 03:34 (seven years ago) link
I think Rebels impersonating Imperials poorly is a running joke of the series!
Nobody's ever going to top Han's radio conversation, though.
