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.

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

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

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?

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?

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.
