So cool.

Uniform looks straight out of Grand Admirals from the novels, but he got no yellow in those squares, so it is just Admiral.

Checking the trailer again, yeah... I'm not a big fan of the edgier look of some of the characters here. I like the slightly "happier" look of Rey, Fin and the others compared to these new guys. They also get in serious situations but it's mixed with a bit more cheeky stuff which I think is also part of what makes Star Wars what it is.

I'm definitely looking forward to this movie and I don't hate the characters either, but I'm slightly concerned about whether they might have made them a bit too edgy, that's all.

I'm happy to tell you then that, apart from the 4 already existing films with the tone you're looking for, you'll get like 2 more of those in the near future.

 

[thefro]

It's definitely happening for reals this time guys.

Definitely a Kyle Katarn-inspired character at the very least.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Looks awesome but why does everyone have an English accent......ITS GETTING WEIRD!!!

At least we're not just Imperials anymore...

 

[Ovid]

For some reason I always thought this was a television show.

Looks good.

 

[FeD.nL]

Holy shit. It looks fantastic. The Death Star never looked so imposing.

 

[Travo]

I wonder if Mon Mothma is played by the same actress that played her in episode 3.

 

[NotLiquid]

That drilling in the latter half of the trailer theme was annoying as fuck. Sounds like Jar Jar sounding his mating call.

Movie looks alright. I like how so far they're playing up the empire as much more of an imposing threat. Unlike Daisy Ridley though I'm not particularly sold on this actress yet. Will have to wait and see how it unfolds.

Woah, really? Thanks!

However, is that your only way to keep a discussion based on what I commented?

 

[OriginalThinking]

There's some really strong Luke vs Vader in Cloud City vibes here...

 

[FATstronaut]

Oh snap!

Looks awesome!

 

[Smidget]

AT-ATs on a beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[antonz]

Oh and this, who is that actress? The likeness was incredible.

EDIT: Do we know who the big bad imperial leader is meant to be? Tarkin or someone totally different?

Imperial has a General/Admiral Rank. Uniform wise it looks like what was used for Imperial Security though they could of course pull the whole Grand Admiral thing though its pretty well established even in New Canon that the Death Star was Tarkin's baby

 

[Illiterate Actual]

Looks legit.

 

[Oldest Snake]

You gotta wonder how effective whacking a Stormtrooper in the head would really be. I mean those helmets are pretty beefy, I'm getting flashbacks to Merry & Pippin taking out Uruks with little stones.

Still, this looks pretty damn good. Modern, but still very much in line with the OT.

 

[Cheebo]

Woah, really? Thanks!

Sarcasm?

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Mendelsohn will definitely be the best part about this film. Dude kills pretty much everything.

Damn, I must have missed him in the trailer then. I didnt spot him.

 

[gamz]

All I'm saying is it felt a bit weird. The action is great, the dialogue was a bit cheesy in a bad way (for me) and some of them looked angry in a quite forced way.

Something in the same tone as TFA or any of the other Star Wars movies shouldn't be inherently boring either! You can tell many interesting stories while keeping the mood.


Either way I'm so looking forward to this movie!

Nah. I like a different tone and feel for the standalone's.

DONNIE MOFUGGIN YEN

Dis gon b gud

 

[Vampirolol]

Meaning, it feels like the SLJ casting in the prequels to me - instead of seeing a character, I see SLJ (or in this case Donnie or Forrest), and it takes me out of it a bit. Forrest is a goddamn amazing actor, probably way too good for SW, so its not a knock on him, it's just what my first thoughts were ("hey, it's Donnie Yen and Forrest Whitaker"). I'm sure I'll be the only person on earth to feel that way haha.

You're not, I hate known actors in SW too. Those two from Lost in TFA took me out from the movie.

 

[massoluk]

Looks awesome but why does everyone have an English accent......ITS GETTING WEIRD!!!

Lol, first thing on my mind.

Movie's looking great

 

[Sesuadra]

Looks really really good

 

[BocoDragon]

They nailed Mon Mothma... damn.

 

[ODDI]

.

Loved this shot!

 

[GlenChivas]

This looks infinitely better than the Force Awakens.

This trailer is so gooooooood.

I'm with you.

 

[cubicle47b]

Looks good so far. I want to see a lot more.

 

[Solo]

Unlike Daisy Ridley though I'm not particularly sold on this actress yet. Will have to wait and see how it unfolds.

Felicity Jones is a good actress, but I do tend to agree that almost all of her line deliveries in the teaser fall flat.

 

[vareon]

Yeah I really loved it. I don't have high hopes for Boba Fett or young Solo but this one looks dope.

Fake edit: Two consecutive Star Wars movies with female lead! Somebody somewhere is typing angry stuff right now.

 

[Tom Nook]

So good.

 

[psychotron]

Looks fantastic! Seeing how the Death Star plans were obtained is going to be really cool.

 

[opoth]

It's pronounced Mary Sue

I'd really like to see a duet re-interpratation of "If Only I Had a Brain" by Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones - "If Only I Had a Peen"

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Cool.

 

[Ominym]

Oh wait. She is... The Rogue One.

Dialogue was cheesy but hey, I'm hyped.

 

[Mik2121]

Sarcasm?

No man, I thought Episode VII was the only one we were getting!

Nah. I like a different tone and feel for the standalone's.

Fair enough. I'm looking forward to it anyway, just wondering how this different style will match with Star Wars and the rest of the films.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Another star wars story with a female lead? Love it.

 

[Gallbaro]

I know it is highly unlikely, but is that a miniature when they blow up star ship on planet Vietnam?

 

[Solo]

Damn, I must have missed him in the trailer then. I didnt spot him.

 

[RoKKeR]

Shit son, that was awesome.

These female leads, so good.

 

[888]

It looks...better than awakens? I wasn't expecting to like this. But it looks pretty slick.

 

[Eidan]

Is it just the minority actors that stick out

Spoiler

Mostly kidding.

 

[hiryu]

I can't comprehend people not loving this trailer.

 

[Kuroyume]

Looks amazing. That siren reminds me of Alien.

Yeah, pretty blatant rip off.

Not sure what you guys are on but that looked terrible. Felt like a Star Wars knock off.

 

[Elitist1945]

That looks great. I know it's early but when would we expect tickets to go on sale? I believe TFA was end of summer?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Air raid sirens? Clever.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

That Felicity Jones is a real cutie

 

[Gothos]

Looks okay, but after TFA I'll keep my hype in check. Plus, I get the feeling that making good trailer for this move will be harder than for TFA

 

[Spikematic]

Looks really good. Didn't know it had so many good actors in it. Third most hyped movie of the year for me now (after Civil War and Doctor Strange).

 

[Mdk7]

Looks dope, way better than expected IMO.

 

[Junior Mint]

Trailer itself already looks more interesting than TFA

 

[gamz]

No man, I thought Episode VII was the only one we were getting!

It doesn't have to match. It can be it's own thing. It's doesn't have to be Marvel.
