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

Also 99% certain that Alan Tudyk will be voicing the gangly-looking droid you can see in a bunch of shots.

ohhhh shit

Some of the comments on the twitter make the point* that we don't see Darth Vader in this, which is interesting - it'd be a better movie without him, but I can see how it could be seen as 'cheating'.

*mostly in the key of waaaah, but so it goes.

I sure as fuck HOPE we don't have to see Darth Vader in this. Have we not seen enough Darth Vader in our lives? I think that would suck. But this is only the first teaser trailer. If he is in there, there is a chance they'll save it for a later reveal.

if I recall correctly, Darth Vader wasn't exactly in love with the Death Star in the original film. Maybe he got involved in a later stage.

With the counter ticking down, they'll finally be captured, but as they are being escorted to their doom, their captors will suddenly fly horizontally off one of those rail-less bridges. Looking around, they see a distant black-caped figure giving them a double thumbs-up..

Checking twitter, there is mixed speculation as to whether DV will be in this. Some seem to think the shot at 1:18 is him. Once again, I really really hope that this is someone different from the Galactic Empire.

yeah, looks fun

against all the odds marvel's current darth vader comicbook is really good - if he does have to be in rogue one it'd be nice to acknowledge the comics somehow

Hang on, is the protagonist called Gin Ulcer?

Some seem to think the shot at 1:18 is him.

I tried to pause there and that just looks to me like someone with a hood up. Not bulky-looking or broad-shouldered enough to be Vader.

As long as JEJ is still with us I'll be cool with Vader being in things.

Pretty excited to see Ben Mendelsohn as a creepy imperial fucker.

xp that looks like the emperor to me.

Guys we get one of these movies every year now! THE SYSTEM WORKS

Why are the rebels and the stormtroopers trying to catch trains at a metro station

Also does anybody else think they cast FW basically just to be the guy who says the trailer stuff? I bet you he has one scene and we just saw most of it

this trailer only for my true rebel scum

The Mon Mothma actresses from ROTJ, ROTS and this trailer:

^^Many Bothans died to bring you that picture.

That's consistency!

which one of these characters is Manny Both'anns?

Same actress as ROTS in this new one I think

why are females in movies? someone explain to me

I have no idea how people can watch things and have that reaction

they made the main hero of the trailer human, now that's some xenophobia, I will not countenance this continued hatred

good point, main character should have been a Bothan, they are constantly dying in the background for the rebel cause, but never get a starring role

lol

glad to see the trend started in Rebels of small unaffiliated groups that are rising up getting drafted into a coordinated rebellion

Okay, I was skeptical, but this looks pretty good. In fact, I daresay I'm more hyped about this trailer than I was about any of the Force Awakens trailers.

Can't beat a quality British accent on the villains.

Epic Forest Whitaker + burly dude with dreads is producing a mild Battlefield Earth flashback, but it'll pass.

Also more tears from the MRAs +++++++

otm all around

the guys from The Raid were criminally underused in Force Awakens; they need to correct that with Mr Yen this time. Ip Man vs The Empire is some sort of dream.

I hope they eventually make an all-female Star Wars movie. Hospitals will need to get some extra help in the stroke wards on the day it's announced.

hehe "stroke wards" i c what u did there

so just to confirm, this movie is not part of some other trilogy right, just a one off? Trailer did admittedly look pretty good to me, and that story line in particular is a good one, if you're going to just revisit old stuff. Probably anticlimactic tho

it is the same actress from ROTS:

http://www.hitfix.com/harpy/mon-mothma-actress-gets-the-last-laugh-after-being-cut-from-star-wars-revenge-of-the-sith

although she looks younger now

it's not part of another trilogy, these will all be one-offs

guys the Bothans died getting the plans for the *second* Death Star
sheesh

yes, but I need that joke NOW

hey hey we're the Bothans
people say we Bothan around
but we're to busy asking
"wtf does 'Bothan' mean as a verb"

we're not bothan nobody

I had the stomach flu last night and was Bothan out of both ends.

Mon Mothma!
Poet and a prophet
Mon Mothma!
Taught me bout the Bothans

Nice.

"wtf does 'Bothan' mean as a verb"

Basically the same as 'smurf', e.g. "Many Bothans bothaned to bothan this information."

Oh, bothan

Also does anybody else think they cast FW basically just to be the guy who says the trailer stuff? I bet you he has one scene and we just saw most of it

I think they cast him so I can say "Star Wars: The Forest Awhitakens", and then shuffle embarrassedly off the thread.

lol

there better be some good forest whitaker content in this thing, is what i'm saying

dude has had too many "I'm a cop / I'm a crooked cop" roles in the last decade, I want some Ghost Dog Awakens
