The "yes, sir" line did. It was terrible.

Nobody knows. Uncharted territory here.
Can't imagine we won't get "a long time ago" though, and the main title receding. It'd be really, really weird if that didn't happen. Hell, even Clone Wars did at least that (although the logo was switched up, and the main title was this weird high-school marching band thing)

That delivery sticks out like a sore thumb. It's truly awful.
I have no familiarity with Harry Potter myself, but I still trust the guy to deliver.
Despite having to stick with, I assume, Williams framework.

Did I talk about that line? DID I TALK ABOUT THAT LINE?! THE GOD DAMN GOAL POST IS WHERE I PUT IT!
But I do agree that the "Yes, sir" line felt a little off. But that's because it doesn't feel like it's in response to what that man is asking just a second before. I need more context and to see what immediately precedes that line.
Listening to it more I don't think the "This is a rebellion isn't it?" and the "I rebel" lines are in the same sentence. I get the feeling that the long pause before the "I rebel" line is a response to a question or some other statement. Very much feels like a cut together trailer line, but even then I don't find it that bad like others.

Which he did very well! If you have no interest I won't try and press it, but his work on Potter, for me anyway definitely stood up on its own. Some of it was very Williams, but Desplat's signature sound was still there in certain instances, and his action cues are great-- which I keep mentioning because it seems like most aren't really up to speed with the fact that Desplat can write awesome action music.
I linked to a track from Deathly Hallows Part 1 during the sky chase pages ago, and it's Star Wars up and down. In fact back in 2010 when the movie came out I was like damn, he'd do a good SW soundtrack.

What aspect of her sells you from that? I haven't seen her in anything and I have to admit she's the most worrying part of this trailer for me. Nothing about her from this footage scream rebel fighter to me.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
It's not really right after ROTS, it's right before ANH 18 years later. Kylo did mention clones in TFA if you think that counts, hopefully prequel references are kept to a minimum though so I can forget about them.

My favorite part of Rogue One is going to be watching people constantly misspell it as Rouge One.

I would prefer it if they didn't, or changed it in some way to make it unique. A long time ago I posted this idea:
I think they should compromise. Use a version of the crawl, but different than the main movies.
A new reorchestrated version of the theme, shorter than the normal version and rerecorded, standard to spin-offs.
Instead of using the gold for the shortened crawl, use the "A long time ago.." blue for the Star Wars logo and the text. Reserve the gold for the main series.
The Clone Wars did something similar, having it's own short version of the theme and titles (though I wouldnt want that version, or for it to be that short, but you get the idea)
The Clone Wars animated movie didn't use it, IIRC

Mendelsohn looks dapper as fuck in that outfit though. Chew scenery and be menacing you glorious Australian bastard.

Opening wise, I can see ROGUE ONE replacing STAR WARS, and A Star Wars Story replacing Episode/Subtitle.

Neither. Diego Luna's not playing a character with the name Dameron and Jyn would probably be too old to be Rey's mum. Plus, they're not going to have a plot point from TFA dependent on Rogue One. Especially when it's thirty five years or so before TFA.

Pretty much.
The dialogue and the delivery just didn't seem natural.
Hoping this is just a one time mistake and the actress delivers more believability.

Changing the color would be a great idea. I love it. If I remember right they were toying with doing this on Empire - blue scroll over the Hoth landscape was pitched at one point, I think.
I talked about it. What part of "lines" do you not comprehend? You're trying to move the goal posts here, not me.
Yeah, her casting is fantastic.

I think it will be the standard crawl without the 'Episode XX' subtitle, so 'Star Wars' with 'Rogue One' underneath. There's no need to mess with this.

There is nothing about this trailer I dislike.
I don't think the dialogue is bad.

How could we even see that? Blue on white? Terrible.
Love the idea of blue on a starfield though.
The reason they didn't use the scroll in TCW, by the way, was because Filoni was concerned that younfg kids (since the movie is targeted a younger audience than usual) wouldn't be able to read it. Also it let them do a newsreel style voiceover, which was intended to be Republic propaganda to fit with the war theme.

The fuck? You responded to my post that SPECIFICALLY referenced the "I rebel" line, no other. Pluralizing "lines" could have been a mistake, and since you responded to me, why would I have assumed that you were lumping any other lines when I only mentioned one? So no, you don' fucked up.
Yeah I love the way that scene was shot, and the way special effects are done in these movies in general. It makes things feel more real.

Looks good.
Poe's parents have already been shown in side stuff.

I'm guessing you have watched the original trilogy
Not so sure there will be a crawl.. doesn't need it, IMO. Lots of things they're doing differently with this film, and rightly so.
It just looks very typical blockbuster to me with the way the trailer was made/some bland dialogue.
The visuals are straight spot on though.
We are all entitled to our own opinions....but some of the comments in this thread.....some people just take shit too seriously. Not everything needs to be hyper-analyzed and fit your expectations. How do some of you enjoy anything? Sheeeeesh.
Excited for this, but definitely thought it was gonna be an X-Wing squadron or something before I saw this. Like this direction better honestly.

The thing about this is that the actual title of the film is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The opening title is going to reflect this, not change the title. I don't see that being the official title but different in the movie. Sure, TFA's marketing just shows Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but it belongs to the mainline episodic series whereas Rogue One does not.
It is fully possible that they may do what you're saying, but my money's on something different. It'd be too similar to the main episode crawls when it's not a part of those.

I'm excited for this, but I'd love for a pilot centric film.

I think it needs/doesn't need it as much as any of the rest of them. I just can't see them dropping it, there's no reason to.
The crawl was only ever identical to the official title in the prequels IIRC, so it would actually be normal for them to be different to each other. Obviously we are just speculating, but I don't think they will drop something so essential to the Star Wars experience, spin-off or not.

I think they'll abandon the crawl and just use the Rogue One logo.
Give this to meeeee.

I was hoping this would be that.

There's probably going to be a massive space battle at the end so we'll get our space combat fix.
