ROGUE ONE teaser trailer released

[Parson]

Parson, I'm not much of a film goer (in the interval between seeing whatever I saw previously and Episode VII, the cinema's prices, seats, carpets, exits and sound system had changed), but is it that much of a problem?

No, it doesn't stop me. But it often makes me sigh with slight frustration.

And now the "celebration", mixing footage with behind-the-scenes filming work - no apparent spoilers:

 

[Brian G Turner]

StarWars.com say a new and full trailer for Rogue One will be released next Thursday, 18th August.

 

[Culhwch]

Odd, I've seen this Thursday or Friday as the date given.

It looks as though I misunderstood - StarWars.com does indeed say "this Thursday" not "next Thursday".

And here it is:

I can definitely now confirm that I am far more excited for this than I was for The Force Awakens. This is exactly the kind of Star Wars film I've always wanted - deeply entrenched in the universe, but a story very much outside of the soap opera goings-on of the Skywalkers and Solos (not that I don't love those, of course). It looks fantastic - I hope it lives up to that.

The AT-AT copping the missile to the side of the head. Perfect.

It does look rather good.

That said, the seventh film was the first I actually went to see for... quite some years. Is this a one-off film or is there going to be a little series?

 

[HareBrain]

Oh, not another bloody Death Star. Taking the films chronologically, that'll be the fourth one in five films. Yes, it all looks nice, but so did the trailer for TFA.

This is the first of three intended standalones.

Well, technically this film doesn't add to the tally. That's the first Death Star - so still only two. (Starkiller wasn't really a Death Star.)

 

[ratsy]

That looks much better than TFA, which I wasn't a fan of and have still only watched the once.

Film looks good, and I look forward to it.

 

[thaddeus6th]

Cheers, Brian.

 

[Rodders]

Looks pretty good to me. I think I will enjoy this more than The Force Awakens.

 

[Boneman]

See? Well worth listening to The Archers... that's Emma Grundy, that is... It does look good, let's hope all the best bits aren't in the trailer. Where are the Bothans? We know many of them died to bring the information... unless that's a misdirect, to protect our Emma...?

 

[Brian G Turner]

Speculation:

Spoiler

Presumably this is going to be a tragedy - the mission succeed, but at the cost of most if not all of the main cast - for continuity with Mon Mothma's comment in Star Wars that "Many Bothans died to bring us this information."

Btw, was that Goggles/Jasper from The 100 in there?

 

[HareBrain]

Oops, I didn't realise this is set before ANH. That's how much I've been paying attention.

The Bothans stole the plans for the second Death Star - this is the first.

 

[Brian G Turner]

Bah! I thought I knew my Star Wars, but I keep getting the first and second Death Stars confused.

 

[Boneman]

The Bothans stole the plans for the second Death Star - this is the first.

I'm so confused.... you're right, t'was the second one they died for!!
