They have my attention now, trailer was quite interesting.

Making Star Wars reckon they're called Death Squad. So yeah, they're probably special forces of some kind.
I'm thinking more some lackey bad guy approaching Vader (or someone else?) in some kind of bacta tank? Except it looks morel like it's cryogenic with the vapor...
Jakku battle takes place AFTER/during Return of the Jedi. Plus the beach looks pleasant and not treacherous like Jakku.

Alexander Desplat, which is now my most anticipated thing about the movie after seeing the teaser. Man I really hope the next trailers are better.
Ah. So they do. Dammit. I thought I had a scoop!
It's hard for me to be terribly interested when I already know the outcome. The visual style is great, and I'll probably go just for the music and cinematography. And maybe to see Vader do something evil.
Loved his Harry Potter score.

Love how abstract this shot it before you realize what it is.

That and I thought the visual style was bland as all hell personally. I dunno, it looks like a fan film with a big budget. Some may say that about Episode VII, but I'd disagree with that ten-fold. It just feels completely uninteresting at this point.
Absolutely. They were phenomenal.

No Katarn, no sale.
jk this looks great
I just want to see Vader fighting like an actual badass in live action.
Sure that isn't too hard.
Also...should've name this movie Rogue Squad.

Magical force vs Everything
interesting, didn't know that
I just saw the AT-AT's and thought they might show that planet getting decimated and then show the AT-AT that rey lived in

Yes, but why is it important to have him in there again? We're not gonna be able to tell it's him anyway (I hope - they better not show his face, because that's NOT how Death Star I-era Vader looked).

Yeah, this looks pretty good.

Well that's not going to be good for anyone.
Love how abstract this shot it before you realize what it is.
That shot is a mindfuck. How do you even sit down and decide, "hmmm, let's have the shadow of the plate sink away to reveal the death star. also add a star destroyer to create depth and scale!" Your first reaction is to think it's a classic scene-wipe effect, but there's a star destroyer on top of it..

The sense of scale and distance really impress me.

Jakku is supposed to be the last stand of the Empire. Look up the Jakku map SWBF. The whole planet was a war zone.

These movies imo are fan films. As long as you are trying to emulate what George did back in 1977 your picture will look like fan films. Hate the prequel trilogy as much you like atleast GL tried to do new things. And it still felt like SW movies. Episode vii and this feels like a fan trying to emulate GL's work. Best way to make another SW picture that doesn't look like a fan film is to something original again. Set it in a different timeline. Do new original story.

That looked fucking cool.

Combined with Vader if he turns up, I don't think they'll be many of the team left at the end of the film.
This will probably be taking place some 45ish years before The Force Awakens (30 between VI & VII and a guess of 15 years from IV to VI)

Not liking TFA as much as others loved is somehow minimized as being "edgy" or "influenced thought". GTFOOH with all that bullshit.
My thoughts on that movie were documented on GAF the first week the film released. I guess I was pre-emptively "edge", right? 🙄
Newsflash: Everyone experiences films differently.

I'm going to RACE to the box office when this opens.

Brilliant shot. Totally thought that the Death Star in shadow was just the background stars until the shadow began to recede.
Only thing i wasnt so sure about was parts of the dialogue and the star wars rift at the beginning and end, which is an entirely hopeful rift for me, but didnt seem to fit the dour nature of the trailer. But that being said they have to keep reminding people this is a star wars film.
Without the star destroyer you don't get a feeling for the immense scale. In 3D the perspective will also be a bit more clear.
lol of course they are
They're the most charmless, nonsensical movies that you actively have to ignore if you want to take the original movies with a grain of seriousness.

Can you imagine all the YouTube channels that are frantically making "the things you missed from the Rogue One trailer" videos right now?
Tudyk is the droid character. Motion capture!I'm not sure how I feel about Forest Whitaker in this yet. The setting and cinematography were absolutely gorgeous though. I think once I see Alan Tudyk floating a one liner in the full trailer, I will be fully hyped for this though!

Meh. I wasn't impressed. Really liked the shot of the Death Star, but I wish they would have teased Vader.
In what universe are the prequels considered good movies?

Looks absolutely wonderful.
That said, I'm having a laugh at:
TFA Teaser: "OMG! Star Wars is BACK! Fuck the Prequels!"
RO Teaser: "OMG! Star Wars is BACK! Fuck Ep.VII!"
'Tis a vicious cycle for some Star Wars fans.
*Tongue in cheek post, but I'm actually really surprised by the apparent dislike for Ep.VII I've seen just in this thread. Granted, I don't stay very active in SW threads, but it's kind of an eye-opener for me. I thought VII was outstanding :/
