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

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

Apparently his character's name is "Eel Leader" so it sounds like that's the direction they went

i think you'll have to wait until the blu-ray release for the star wars: rogue one: special forest whitaker'd edition, unfortunately

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

http://www.whiteclarkegroup.com/images/event-images/Canary-Wharf-tube-station.jpg

bleah. painted the floor, it looks like.

BTW those beige troopers are wearing the third helmet from that Donnie Yen instagram shot. Neat!

ah yay another movie about a death star.

that makes, what, 4 now?

oh dude spoiler alert - we don't even know for sure what kind of weapons system it is, that's what they have to FIND OUT

oh yeah we saw it being built in Ep III also.

so 5 of 8 Star Wars movies have a death star

also 5 of 8 have some form of huge walking tank

7 of 8 have a Yoda

patterns are everywhere

how do the at-ats travel from like the snow to tropical island

do they go through water
can they fly

i have questions

No lightsabres, though. That's a first?

also 5 of 8 have some form of huge walking tank

7 of 8 have a Yoda

patterns are everywhere

8 out of 8 feature white people in leading roles

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

"theory"

somehow that got "Back That Azz Up" stuck in my head

patterns are everywhere

it's like poetry
