You never know. She may find her way back in. In fact, I bet she will.

I like it. I do think it's cool how they stuck to the original aesthetic. Also like how we'll have urban metro areas back.
I know this is random, but is this the first time we've seen a tropical locale in Star Wars (other than in video games)?
Other EU characters have made it back, so maybe she can too.

As soon as the last train left, production swept in and had already rehearsed dressing the station/set so they could do it in 20 minutes every night and remove everything within 20 minutes via Jubilee Place before the station opened. I was told they were there for 6 nights.
Also they had a brilliant cover should anything be spotted as that area of the Jubilee Line is always full of people dressed in Star Wars costumes, props, etc as the secret cinema is at Canada Water.
If I had one negative it would be the voice acting with the dialogue lines. For some who was a delinquent since 15 she sounds too preppy and proper to me. I imagine if Han Solo or Leia said it, I wouldn't have a problem, it would have a little more rougeish swing, a little more uumph to it.

So how are they going to square this story away with the fact that the Geonosians were already working on the Death Star at the end of RotS? Did it just take 20 years to finish? Did the project get turned over to imperial human scientists at some point?
Actually, WILL they even address this?

Maybe TFA spoiled me, but I'm just not hyped about this movie. I don't need something to tell an old story. I want to see the new story to continue moving forward (which I know it will be, but in the meantime, we get stuck with this). I just don't find it compelling to fill in the tiny cracks of the story Lucas told forty years ago.
Also, that dialogue. "I rebel." Thank the gods you told us! We were going to recruit you for the Empire.

if they dont address it then it pretty much puts the whole prequel trilogy into the realm of b-tier canon, which is the type of canon that might as well not be canon at all.
I look forward to seeing how this plays out
Man Disney is on another level right now. It's like whatever they touch turns into gold.
They make a ton of money, nearly each of their film makes a billion these days lol but the movies are excellent too. Wow quite an achievement.
Maybe Disney will do us all a favour and buy DC so we can get a good Supes movie or any other good DC movie not named Batman. I can see this happening one day.

Teedo? Sarco Plank? Unkar Plutt? Asty? Sidon Ithano and Quiggold?
Only some of those names are mentioned in the film but I'm not exactly remembering a whole bunch of named alien characters in the original trilogy, either. Lots of those names ended up coming from books or toys.

I doubt they'll bring up Geonosians. If they do, at most it would be like Kylo mentioning a clone army.
This has always been something since AOTC. The Death Star wasn't fully operational till midway in ANH remember.
Yep, this
A New Hope and The Force Awakens basically have the plot beats of a young adult novel as well. Let's not act like Star Wars of all things is some "Grown Ass Man" series.
Probably not, hopefully not. But if you want to get technical the Geonosians may have had the plans for it but actually constructing it and overcoming the realities of such a massive structure and weapon might not have been fully fleshed out, thus the need for brilliant scientists to figure stuff out. Plenty of wiggle room, but honestly not that important or needing a major explanation.
Meh the dialogue here is much more amateurish than what we normally get. I'm getting Lost Stars vibes here, and trust me, that is NOT a good thing.
Pretty clear difference in the quality of the writing, and this is what they chose as some of their best?

May I have a cookie?
The Geonosians (at least partially) planned the death star according to AOTC and ROTS but they're never explicitely seen building it. So I don't see a problem really.
You got your timeline really mixed up. Poe isn't even born till after ROTJ. This is around 35 years prior to TFA.
What are some examples?

Gareth Edwards movie trailer and the first thing people criticize is the suspect performances...yikes. Hopefully this doesn't end up being another Godzilla. I love the idea of this and want it to be really good

I was going to say it doesn't look too bad but shit, those posts saying it looks kind of YA-ish are spot on. Also, this is just a personal thing, but the stormtrooper designs really don't mesh with the dark/gritty feel I think they are going for.
"A Star Wars Story" is a fucking awful subtitle though. Why couldn't they just have stuck with "anthology" or whatever it was?

That's not bad, definitely more interested. Were/are people tight there's no Vader?
Yeah it's really standing out.
This is most likely correct since the codename for the movie was Los Alamos.
Also those mustard yellow troopers are
referred to on set as "Scarab Troopers"
That's true ha. Couldn't think of a way to describe it. Visually fine but the things coming out of mouths not so much.It´s not a Videogame.
In film we just call it "acting".

Hmm... so you guys are saying that THIS from the end of Ep III:
Is just the Repub-Pire building it themselves already, and the bugs are already out of the picture at that point? I guess that's plausible, I dunno.
And then it took 20 more years? I guess that's fine, too... kind of kludgey. Maybe they'll have a little dialogue to explain that they had to have some big breakthrough somewhere along the line. I dunno.

They had to go with "A Star Wars Story" so people wouldn't get confused and think this was part of the Hunger Games or Divergent series. Dat YA feel.
Endor's moon was pretty tropical. This is the first time we've seen a beach, though, yeah.

Okay the "I rebel" complaints I think you're missing the point. The phrase doesn't seem meant to convey some sense of badass it's just her being difficult towards authority. Think more smartass and less badass.
Honestly I don't know how anyone could call themselves Star Wars fans and not be excited by the prospect of this movie or any that will follow it. When I first heard that they were doing spin offs in the universe (especially set before the new trilogy) I'll admit I was really skeptical but I think this trailer sold me on the fact that there will be good stories here regardless of where or when they're told.
For the better part of my life I heard that Lucas was going to make sequels to the OT then he popped out the prequel garbage and I thought it was all over, never to be seen again except in cartoon form. Yet here we are with a new trilogy and new spin offs set in a HUGE universe ripe for storytelling with what looks like two really solid efforts to start us off. If all we have to complain about is one or two lines of cheesy dialogue and a klaxon I'd say we can count ourselves pretty god damn lucky after the abomination that was the prequels
Edit: Okay Donnie looking smooth as hell o course but I'm SOOO much more excited to see Mendelsohn play the bad guy than anything else in this movie. That cape! That all white outfit. My man is looking menacing

There was a beach landing in Revenge of the Sith. I think it was on Kashyyyk but it may have been part of a montage of battles; I can't remember.

I'm sure the acting will be fine. We're just criticizing what's given to us, which... I mean there's just no soul to the teaser, so it all comes across as super dry. Right now I'm going to write it off as a meh teaser and hope that the next trailers are better. I think the movie itself will be awesome, but this is the first Star Wars trailer that hasn't stirred the pot for me. I'd normally be freaking out and losing my shit.
People have turned on Lost Stars now too? Having a hard time keeping up.
The novels and comics have already been dealing with it.
Berch Teller's rebel cell finds out about the Death Star (at least to some extent) a few years after RotS and was disrupting operations that Tarkin was overseeing. After that, presumably they had various problems + the logistical nightmare of figuring out how to get this thing working for the first time (DSII is built much more quickly because they already know all the problems). They also needed to find sufficient/large enough kyber crystals to power the laser beam, and even during the first season of Rebels, which is 5 years before ANH, they're still collecting them.
The Geonosians were enslaved and forced to build the Death Star and eventually they were wiped out in a genocide at least 4 years before ANH. So at some point the project was switched to Imperial scientists.

I guess the bigger problem is why it took so long for the first one and so little for the second, or for starkiller base for that matter?
Maybe this movie will answer that question. Perhaps some kind of scientific\engineering breakthrough was needed to make it possible, following which it just became a matter of how fast one could acquire the necessary resources. Kind of like the atomic bomb or the hydrogen bomb, the apollo rocket, the first airplanes, etc.
What kind of troopers are these?
Stormtroopers of course, but the other ones look like clone scout troopers, similar to the ones on Kashyyyk in Episode 3
