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

^^Many Bothans died to bring you that picture.
That's consistency!

which one of these characters is Manny Both'anns?
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:32 (eight years ago) link
Same actress as ROTS in this new one I think

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
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:53 (eight years ago) link
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

glad to see the trend started in Rebels of small unaffiliated groups that are rising up getting drafted into a coordinated rebellion
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:07 (eight years ago) link
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 +++++++

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
― Dominique, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:28 (eight years ago) link
it is the same actress from ROTS:

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

"wtf does 'Bothan' mean as a verb"
Basically the same as 'smurf', e.g. "Many Bothans bothaned to bothan this information."
― jmm, Thursday, 7 April 2016 19:10 (eight years ago) link
Oh, bothan
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 7 April 2016 19:12 (eight years ago) link
I think they cast him so I can say "Star Wars: The Forest Awhitakens", and then shuffle embarrassedly off the thread.

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
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 7 April 2016 20:22 (eight years ago) link
Apparently his character's name is "Eel Leader" so it sounds like that's the direction they went

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.

Oh wow that's terrific. You can see exactly where the signs and benches are, just covered in a big hollow sci-fi box. And they painted

oh yeah we saw it being built in Ep III also.
so 5 of 8 Star Wars movies have a death star

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
