that line was terrible and i'm glad it was cut
jyn's character seems to have been reworked heavily in the reshoots/edits
― Nhex, Monday, 19 December 2016 00:12 (seven years ago) link
yeah that screen rant piece looks good, trailer 1 is made *almost entirely* of unused footage supposedly.
― piscesx, Monday, 19 December 2016 00:13 (seven years ago) link
wow they actually inserted unused ANH footage for those pilots? couldn't tell at all
― Nhex, Monday, 19 December 2016 00:14 (seven years ago) link
v cool

I recognized the actors, but just thought they re-scanned actual footage from the film, not unused stuff. Like with the cut scenes that got released on the blu rays, I'm obsessed with seeing original unreleashed film, having viewed these movies over and over again for decades growing up.
Also, is one of the differences between Rebel & Imperial visual is Rebel guys have facial hair, and Imperials(almost always) do not? (They all have big sideburns, tho)
This stood out to me seeing the promo shot of clearly unshaven Diego Luna in officer's uniform. Youda thunk he was gunna get bitched-out for that by some superior, same way Indy does in the submarine pen scene in Raiders.

hah, i had a similar thought when I saw Luna in the uniform during the film... doesn't anyone notice he's like the only officer with a 5 o'clock shadow?
― Nhex, Monday, 19 December 2016 00:32 (seven years ago) link
ha yeah me too re the re-scanned footage, just assumed it was pre-shot Cushing footage because you know They Can Do Anything These Days.

Do you think when George Lucas saw this and a couple characters were referred to as "guardians of the whills" that he shit his pants
― mh 😏, Monday, 19 December 2016 01:15 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, and "Kyber Crystals" tossed around

hey buddy this version of the senate is the one that gets dissolved in the 1977 film, none of that actual democratic stuff

Well to be fair cultivating and drawing upon feelings of anger and revenge are part of what the Sith do, so Vader building a castle near the site where he suffered the defeat that made him who he is makes a kind of sense

I hope this movie ends with them making an emergency landing on the crawl that starts New Hope.
pretty much!
― orifex, Monday, 19 December 2016 07:45 (seven years ago) link
best thing abt this movie is how much it enhances the viewing of ANH, imo - eg there are new layers to every bit of dialogue spoken by Imperial officers. And Vader seems even more menacing in the first few scenes now that you know exactly how pissed off he was.
Exhibit A on how to make a prequel, basically.
― Roz, Monday, 19 December 2016 09:59 (seven years ago) link
they have to do a stand alone that fits between ANH and ESB next.
― piscesx, Monday, 19 December 2016 11:01 (seven years ago) link
.. on Hoth.
That's one of the few non-film periods that's covered by the new canon, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Totally didn't realize that Riz Ahmed was Jake Gyllenhaal's poor doomed assistant in Nightcrawler.

yeah "poor doomed" is a pretty accurate modifier for every Riz Ahmed character going back to Four Lions

otm. This was a movie made by someone who obviously loves Star Wars, and had the facility to make this story seem authentic, and completely a part of he existing SW universe. And yet also somehow not seem retro and fan-fiction-ish. Pretty amazing, really.
Did you guys read the bits about Disney supposedly wanting to downplay this movie? Still not sure what to make of that, if true.
― Dominique, Monday, 19 December 2016 14:52 (seven years ago) link
so you're going to make a bunch of new characters and we can't put them in infinitely more pieces of side media because they all die? what the heck!
― mh 😏, Monday, 19 December 2016 15:02 (seven years ago) link
I bet at least one of them will turn up in the Han Solo movie
― Number None, Monday, 19 December 2016 15:03 (seven years ago) link
kind of curious how they're going to shoehorn in r2d2
― mh 😏, Monday, 19 December 2016 15:08 (seven years ago) link
I was actually thinking they could try to make a movie of what happens during the time Jyn is with Saw Gerrera -- but yeah, maybe they were just pissed it couldn't be built upon. Too bad, I rank it as the best SW movie since Jedi (which is how RYM has it at the moment too).
― Dominique, Monday, 19 December 2016 15:08 (seven years ago) link
Saw yesterday that they're bringing Saw Gerrera onto SW Rebels, so that at least will be cool. That'll be three different media he's shown up in -- Clone Wars, Rogue One and Rebels.

Agree with this, much more than I expected. It's a proper prequel, not adding unnecessary mythology, but expanding and enriching the story as we know/knew it.
(The Dracula's Castle bit was pretty silly, I admit. I think people on volcanic Vader duty got the short end of the stick compared to the troopers stationed in the Maldives.)

i like the idea that vader has a bachelor pad on the planet where his best friend and mentor cut his limbs off and set him on fire. it's metal as fuck imo
