Support NeoGAF

[Vire]

That's kinda the point. What's wrong with you people?

Do we really need a Star Wars movie in every style and tone known to man? Can't we just let Star Wars be Star Wars.

Looking forward to the romance black and white silent film Disney is putting out in 2018.

Teaser did nothing for me because it might as well have been the next Hunger Games movie.

 

[Mindwipe]

I'm not a big fan of prequel stories because they're always so constrained by later events, and "I rebel" is a legit terrible line.

But that looks absolutely beautiful on screen. Day one.

 

[Lifejumper]

Man that honest trailer for TFA really did a number on you people huh...

 

[JSevere]

looks pretty interesting. I like how different the tone/visuals/vibe are from the main saga films

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Ah a bad guy then. Dude is awesome at that. Ben is fantastic in Bloodline.

 

[Phantast2k]

The directing and tone are off base for a Star Wars movie. Way too grounded..

Yes. To me it even feels ordinary / boring.
The actors lack something special and I don't mean the fact that they're not stars.
They somehow feel like extra rather than supporting role material.

"What if Star Wars extras made their own movie" - the Movie

 

[Cheebo]

Really hoping Donnie will pull this move on Vader

They aren't having Vader get his ass kicked by random Rebel soldiers

 

[Jb]

It looked a little... cheap? Not the effects but the way it was directed I guess. Especially when compared to TFA.
Obviously too early to know how it'll turn out but I like the cast and premise so I'm hoping for the best.

 

[shield]

I've never been so excited to see Mon Mothma

Overreact much? Sheez...

 

[nekkid]

A Star Wars movie without (hopefully) the hocus pocus?

Count me in.

 

[Brutalitops]

Some bad acting from that girl but the trailer itself has me hyped

 

[- J - D -]

Well, it's all one universe, so they probably want some continuity there even if you can tell completely different stories. Still, Star Wars probably has a fairly unique style to it, so I was just wondering how it will do in contrast. I'm not saying this movie is completely different, either! Keeping this conversation is making it sound like that though, so sorry

It's like you ignore that I'm also really looking forward to this one. I just posted a comment, no need for the sarcasm

\.

No sarcasm. There really will be two more Star Wars films after this.

 

[devon the dude]

Looks great. At-ats on the beach looked incredible as did Whitaker

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Oh ysss$ssssss

 

[Peru]

The directing and tone are off base for a Star Wars movie. Way too grounded..

They're side stories and explicitly set out to offer a tonally different perspective on the universe from the main saga - which you know, is still steaming ahead in episodes.

Odd to hear complaints about Lucasfilm delivering on diversifying the franchise so they're not all the same brand of blockbuster.

 

[zma1013]

i have never seen him with one, but it just has to be. Who else would be a dark figure pre-new hope? I doubt its the emperor, and I doubt there would be another sith running around.

Another bad guy

 

[Spieler Eins]

,,I rebel"
cringe

Also when I see Donnie Yen...

Even more relevant with laser guns, lol.

 

[robochimp]

Has Vader ever been depicted with a hood? He doesn't need a hood.

Maybe he keeps the Death Star plans in a cloak pocket. They take the plans and his hoodie.

 

[friskykillface]

Idk man, if the main characters are sneaking on the Death Star how doesn't Vader the god notice their presence
Since the storm troopers are all clones these people should be easy to scoop out

Movie over

Trailer was good, I'll be there day 1 for forced Boba cameo B^) do it Disney

Some people just have a terrible attitude

that's what they're going for. the spin-offs will let them be more creative with the tone and feel of the films while the core Episodes will stick with the SW tone you want.

also, it's a teaser so who knows what the final film is like. even the Marvel films had different tones between them. Winter Soldier was much more grounded than Avengers.

 

[Speculator]

You can hear Vader's iconic breathing subtly behind Forest Whitaker's line "you become" in the last shot.

By ANH most of the troopers weren't clones. They were all named at one point but that may or may not have been wiped out in the canon purge.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Looks pretty good overall but the characters have no charisma whatsoever... I hope it's not another super woman focus stuff again too.

 

[neorej]

What is this TFA shitting in this thread? Did I arrive in an alternate universe where TFA is a bad movie or something?

 

[cyba89]

Looks pretty awesome. I am not as hyped for this as I am for EP8 but I'm still pretty excited.
Still a bit worried Star Wars won't be so special anymore in a few years when we get a new movie every year from now on.

 

[Travo]

Hot damnn!!

This is definitely 100% Vader (wearing a hoodie for some reason!)

The guards lead me to believe it could be the Emperor himself. They are never around to guard Vader, just Palpatine.

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Why would anyone think that the hooded guy is more likely to be Vader than Palpatine when the Royal Guard is right there?

Edit: Goddamn it

Apparently, it's the in thing this week. The only way to show you have bleeding edge good taste on the internet is to be an obvious contrarian. All the actual bad movies have been bashed to death already.

shame on you

We get more marvel movies and TV shows per year. As long as they stay intersting.

What does this even mean? Super woman focus?

 

[OmegaSmash]

Seems like they dropped the "Star Wars Anthology" naming. Shame since I liked it.

 

[Jito]

That looked great, loving the music.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Is James Earl Jones returning to voice Vader?

WE HAVE THE MEATS

 

[PeskyToaster]

what does charisma even mean to people?

You arrived on NeoGAF, where every popular critically acclaimed big budget movie gets shit on weeks after release. Actually, that applies to the entirety of the internet.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Looks gorgeous. Like a Star Wars period piece.

 

[Nokagi]

You can hear Vader's iconic breathing subtly behind Forest Whitaker's line "you become" in the last shot.

Dang you're right. It's very brief and easily missed.

Or maybe not. The more I listen to it the less it sounds like Vader. I'm confused now.

 

[PopeReal]

mary sue

it means mary sue

Fuck.

That was the most annoying stupid shit. Jesus.

 

[tycoonheart]

Bet she is gonna join the dark side.

 

[BocoDragon]

The directing and tone are off base for a Star Wars movie. Way too grounded..

I'd hear you loud and clear if this were a mainline film.

But this is a spinoff. Don't care one bit about adhering to the original tone, or text crawls, or screen wipes here.

Actually it still feels very "Star Wars" to me because it reminds me of the tone of early 90s LucasArts or Del Ray novels. Feels like Dark Forces or Tie Fighter.

Another white woman though.

 

[Lebron]

Sold. Looks more legit than TFA. Yeah, I said it.
