Support NeoGAF

[Cheebo]

What does this even mean? Super woman focus?

There are a lot of butt hurt internet nerds who doesn't like strong female leads (See Rey). A lot of crazy sexist nerds came out of the woodwork after TFA and decided to belittle Daisy Ridleys character with the sexist label "Mary Sue"

There are insane sexists who call her a "Mary Sue". Ignore anyone who says that shit.

 

[pringles]

I can't wait for this. Hoping it will make up for how much of a letdown VII was

That trailer was already better than the entirety of TFA, which isn't exactly a high bar to surpass, but still

So edgy.

 

[Angel_DvA]

shame on you

I knew you'll be there XD it was a trap ; )

but still, white women lead seems to be the norm at Hollywood period, tiresome.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I love that it's the old stormtrooper design.

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

Man. Looks so fucking good. My biggest worry is that there will be SW fatigue in a few years, but if they keep the production quality and the stories feel genuine, I'm all for it.

As a massive SW fan as a kid and now with a young Son, I'm glad the the book didn't stop with the horrendous prequels.

 

[Solo]

Bet she is gonna join the dark side.

I doubt we will see or hear much or anything about the force, Vader/Emperor aside.

 

[LNBL]

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

I think it's just from him talking and not Vader

 

[cyba89]

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

Marvel movies&tv are for the most pretty entertaining but they are not as special for me as a new Star Wars movie right now. Just my own opinion of course.

 

[Farsi]

Am I crazy or did they make Diego Luna look like Poe Dameron?

 

[LiK]

Bet she is gonna join the dark side.

final shot looked like she infiltrated the Death Star to me and is where she's gonna steal the plans there.

 

[NekoFever]

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

People getting ahead of the Plinkett review telling them what to think.

 

[Oppo]

you're off the hook

this is everything I wanted

 

[kahboomkin]

Ooooooooh shit that shot of the AT-ATs tho
I NEED THIS MOVIE

 

[OriginalThinking]

Tonally it feels closer to Empire than a New Hope. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The teaser feels a lot like this..

[Flow-Walker]

I doubt we will see or hear much or anything about the force, Vader/Emperor aside.

Edwards said NO JEDI at Celebration, so this is correct.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

mary sue

it means mary sue

I almost choked on my breakfast reading this reply yjhjk

 

[More_Badass]

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.

It's a movie about rebels on a stealth mission against the Empire to steal Death Star plans. That's as Star Wars as a Jedi and a smuggler fighting alongside Rebels on Hoth.

Why would you expect the story of the rebels to have the same tone as the story of Jedi and Sith and such?

Imagine if they made a movie about a bounty hunter and the criminal underworld of Star Wars

 

[Kuros]

BWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Looks good.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

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

When Luke and co were hiding aboard the Falcon in ANH, all Vader knew was that he could feel a force presence that reminded him of Obi-Wan. He can't tell where people are hiding whenever he wants, especially if they have no connection to the force.

 

[Vire]

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

Got that feeling too.

Script also didn't exactly inspire confidence.

"I rebel"... Who thought that was a good idea.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Another white woman though.

You really think a movie studio is ever gonna cast a minority woman as the lead for a 4-quadrant blockbuster? We were lucky enough to get Finn on all the posters before J.J. decided to swerve us.

 

[Erasus]

Looks very interesting!

 

[FeD.nL]

=

?

Looks like a pretty damn faithful recreation.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Lead seems a little stiff

Looking good otherwise

 

[Cheebo]

you're off the hook

this is everything I wanted

Garry Whitta didn't really write this. He was dropped from the film after the first draft. It got new writers after him.

 

[The Elite]

you're off the hook

this is everything I wanted

Curious to know how much of his work is left.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It doesn't look cheap, and it doesn't look like The Hunger Games. FFS

 

[gunstarhero]

Looks awesome. But why did we have to get a samurai in Star Wars. Doesn't make any sense.

 

[WarRock]

Did not knew Donni Yen was in. Dayum.

 

[Jarmel]

You really think a movie studio is ever gonna cast a minority woman as the lead for a 4-quadrant blockbuster?

No.

 

[Misha]

So edgy.

just because I was disappointed doesn't mean you guys weren't allowed to like it. Rogue One looks much closer to what I've been looking for in a star wars movie for 15+ years

 

[TheMagician]

Hot damnn!!

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

Taken off his mask and parts of his suit and going to some sort of medical pod?

Perhaps we'll see the older burnt face of Hayden?

 

[shira]

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

I hope we see them in action. White troopers, brown troopers, black troopers, red troopers

 

[TheMan]

not bad.

honestly though, if they took everything out of the star wars movies except for the the jedi i'd be happy.

 

[DrForester]

Wow, that looks great.

 

[antonz]

Hooded guy isn't Palpatine. The Hooded person kneels before what appears to be some sort of Bacta Tank though seems like something frozen. The Guards though certainly are an odd touch as they are specifically for Palpatine.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Looking great, better teaser than TFA for me.

What is Whitaker's role in this?

 

[Houndi101]

Looks awesome. But why did we have to get a samurai in Star Wars. Doesn't make any sense.

We always had samurai in Star Wars...

Spoiler

the jedi

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Looks awesome. But why did we have to get a samurai in Star Wars. Doesn't make any sense.

Well the franchise is pretty heavily inspired by Kurosawa films...

 

[Merc_]

Another white woman though.

Well, yeah. It's Hollywood feminism.

 

[Halcyon]

It doesn't look cheap, and it doesn't look like The Hunger Games. FFS

Hate to shit on your point, but the first thing I thought after I watched this was "So it's like a Star Wars Hunger Games"

 

[PopeReal]

Looking great, better teaser than TFA for me.

What is Whitaker's role in this?

He almost looks like a bounty hunter.

 

[A Link to the Past]

That looked pretty cool. Not going to lie, I perked up a lot when I saw AT-ATs. I'm not one to get too excited for "I recognize that shit, thus it is awesome", but AT-ATs have always been very neat to me.

 

[Ominym]

what does charisma even mean to people?

"I subjectively don't like this thing and want to state my feelings objectively." More or less. Charisma is such a personal metric that it makes determining a standard pretty difficult if not impossible.

 

[BocoDragon]

Looks awesome. But why did we have to get a samurai in Star Wars. Doesn't make any sense.

Star Wars is literally inspired by Kurosawa samurai films so excuse my laughter....

 

[munchie64]

Got that feeling too.

Script also didn't exactly inspire confidence.

"I rebel"... Who thought that was a good idea.

Who even fucking knows if it's in the movie.

In the trailer it's there for some levity (the only bit really).

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

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

yeah, edgy, you're not the first.

 

[The Lamonster]

OH MY GOD

this looks ten times better than TFA. this is the fourth star wars movie I've always wanted.

DAT OT GOODNESS!!!!!!

 

[Cheebo]

I knew you'll be there XD it was a trap ; )

but still, white women lead seems to be the norm at Hollywood period, tiresome.

We had endless decades of men as the norm for blockbuster leads. Can't we have more than a year or two for women?

 

[gamz]

Looks awesome. But why did we have to get a samurai in Star Wars. Doesn't make any sense.

Huh? It's Star Wars. Always had that.
