summoned to the battlefield from an alternate robodimension where they graze peacefully and forced into battle by the power of the dark side

Yeah, palm trees definitely gets us into a new climate. Was so ready for an unfamiliar setting after TFA.

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.
technically all the organisms in the trailer are aliens tbf

The great debate: Are the people in the Star Wars movies humans?

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.

The much-anticipated “Rogue One” is due for release on Dec. 16, but we’re told bosses at Disney are not fully satisfied with the first cut from director Gareth Edwards.One Hollywood source told us, “The execs at Disney are not happy with the movie, and ‘Rogue One’ will have to go back into four weeks of expensive reshoots in July.”
One Hollywood source told us, “The execs at Disney are not happy with the movie, and ‘Rogue One’ will have to go back into four weeks of expensive reshoots in July.”
let me guess everybody died at the end and nobody liked it
The source added, “Disney won’t take a back seat, and is demanding changes, as the movie isn’t testing well.”
yup

This boils down my son's complaint about the trailer. "This doesn't have anything to do with the last movie. I have to wait for three years to find out what happened in that one?"
I'm bummed. The trailer looked so so good to me.

Back in my day, kid, we had to wait three years AND suffer through issue after issue of Starlog to get production reports and rumors! Suck it up!

Maybe the director spent the entire SFX budget on blow and all of the battles wound up with him smashing old-school Kenner vehicles into one another against a green screen while his coke buddy goes "PEW PEW P-PEW" offscreen.

Edwards is obviously good at making things look cool, but he's yet to demonstrate the ability to tell a good story. Or even make a non-boring movie. Trailer tells us nothing really.

Man, the trailer before Civil War looked incredible on the screen.
Current best trailer-to-worst movie ratio champ is Jarhead but if this is bad it would come close.

Rumour: 40% of R1 is being reshot.
Some crew initially heard J.J. Abrams was supervising the reshoots.Gareth Edwards is doing the reshoots himself but with a partner, Christopher McQuarrie.Christopher McQuarrie, the final writer on Rogue One will be working extensively with Edwards onset to make sure they’re on the “same page” with the most recent draft of the film.Christopher McQuarrie’s draft of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was considered superior to the film they shot previously.It was not Edwards’ fault as McQuarrie’s draft wasn’t completed when much of the film was shot and revisions kept coming in that made the film feel uneven.32 sets have been recreated for the reshoot.The crew expects they are reshooting 40% of the film.They are working 6 days a week for 8 weeks.

― carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Thursday, 2 June 2016 22:45 (seven years ago) link
Do you care to clarify that line of reasoning at all?
Anyway, sounds like they rushed it, if McQuarrie was that far from finished when they started shooting. I liked the trailer a lot, though! Especially in the theater.
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 2 June 2016 22:50 (seven years ago) link

Literally all American films of any size are represented wholly and specifically by anything Gareth Edwards ever does.

It was not Edwards’ fault as McQuarrie’s draft wasn’t completed when much of the film was shot and revisions kept coming in that made the film feel uneven.
