[Michael F. Assbender]

The calculating odds line was definitely a C3PO reference, but his other line and his intimidating appearance are immediately communicating something more along the lines of HK-47 or Mr. Bones. Less "obnoxious twit" and more "uncomfortably homicidal".

Yeah, with his first line I was thinking the same thing (specifically about HK-47), but by the end where they're just like "oh, that's our silly little robot! He means well!" I was kinda bummed.

Again though, this is a very preliminary opinion based on a trailer. I'd never be stupid enough to make judgement calls about the quality of the entire product based on a few seconds of jumbled footage.

So good.

AAAAAAAH

 

[Einchy]

Didn't say too much, I said 1 a year was smart.

Misread your post.

 

[Kayhan]

I can't believe they ripped off HK-47!

 

[Phased]

Looks fantastic.

Disney hasn't screwed up Marvel yet, and they didn't screw up Force Awakens. Until they actually do screw something up I'm totally buying what they're selling.

 

[Atraveller]

I can't believe they ripped off HK-47!

I think the whole point of EU's Legend status was using EU material without being held down by EU lore consistency.

 

[Einchy]

Thought it looked terrible, especially in regards to the acting and line deliveries. Also I get it. Darth Vader is in the movie. I don't even like Vader anyway, get his appearance over with so we can move on.

Cipher Peon, you have the weirdest movie taste that I have ever seen.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I am beyond excited by this!!

The trailer hit all the right notes for me.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Misread your post.

They need to look at doing something on Netflix that expands the current timeline.

These ragtag folks look like some kind of... Suicide Squad.

[The Flash]

I don't even like Vader anyway

 

[Mix Master]

gotta love the 'too many blockbusters' crowd, probably the same folks that hype up boring oscar bait every year.

 

[Einchy]

I'm coming home from watching the movie and...
Oh my fucking god. 10/10 doesn't even cover it.

One of the absolute greatest films I've ever seen in my life. I'm still shaking and I left the movie about two hours ago. Wow...

That boy needs Jesus.

yeah, i agree

boba fett is miles better

 

[Phased]

Is that Arrow? I didn't recognize him without Felicity.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

Already this looks to be so much better than Force Awakens, don't disappoint me again

 

[The Flash]

yeah, i agree

Yes

 

[Tom Nook]

Amazing. Can't wait for this.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Trailer looks great, surprised by the scope of it all.

I do agree with others that the line delivery was extra..ridged.

 

[MattyG]

That boy needs Jesus.

Oh god, I'm so glad someone dug that post up.

 

[Toxi]

Darth Vader already has more screentime in this trailer than Jared Leto's Joker had in that entire movie.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Wow that looked fucking amazing. Beyond hyped

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

looks way better than Force Awakens so that's something.

 

[Rixxan]

This really doesn't seem like it has the "tone" of what makes Star Wars fun. Hopes are not high.

I've always wanted a darker more somber take on the universe TBH - hope this doesn't suck

 

[MMarston]

That boy needs Jesus.

What in the ever loving shit

 

[SentientStone]

Good trailer

 

[AgentOtaku]

Anyone who needs a refresher on what Greig Fraser can do should watch Killing them Softly and Zero Dark Thirty, both films are absolutely gorgeous. He was a great get for Rogue One.

Lol, both films that are actually on my watch list... got to speed up the schedule it seems now tho

 

[Fencedude]

Is there a term for the performative disliking of something?

Because goddamn some of you people apparently expected this trailer to personally give you a sponge bath or something.

Also can we just stop with complaints about Star Wars movies having things in them that All Star Wars Movies have, like stupid one-liners, stupid one-liners being said by droids and Darth Fucking Vader!?

What do you even want from these movies if you are complaining about fucking Vader?!

 

[TreIII]

Wasn't really reeled in from the original trailer, but this new promo's got me hyped.

Admittedly, as a veteran of the old EU (and all of its craziness), I've grown a bit weary of these things that try to cram in things in a pre-ANH era. But I'm more than willing to see how this new movie fits into Disney's EU and what story it stands to tell.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

They actually did it! Skip to 12:45

oooh! That is neat. Wonder if these are turned into assets that can be used between multiple SW projects, like video games and other ship shots in movies.
I will watch this just for those conversions.

 

[Monocle]

These ragtag folks look like some kind of... Suicide Squad.

Yeah what kind of joker thought this was a good idea?

Reading what was already given to the press about K-2SO, looks like you have nothing to fear.

From Entertainment Weekly

K-2SO (Alan Tudyk)

This towering, powerful security droid is described by Edwards as “the antithesis of C-3PO.” In other words, he’s tough, confident, not especially interested in "human/cyborg relations," and the complete opposite of a neurotic fussbudget. “Kaytoo is a little bit like Chewbacca's personality in a droid’s body,” Edwards says. “He doesn’t give a s--- about what you think. He doesn't fully check himself before he says things and does things. He just speaks the truth.” Like Jyn, he’s also seeking a bit of redemption for past wrongs. Droids, too, can have regret.

 

[Einchy]

Both are a great movies and even if they weren't, they would still be worth a watch just for the cinematography.

I feel you. I really do.

First I've heard of the character, and I love everything in that quote.

 

[aBarreras]

Cinematography looks beautiful.

It's not normal for reshoots to be handled by a different director.

i thought that the new director did also reshoots for godzilla?

 

[Vyer]

I figured it was coming, but it still got me.

i'm in.

 

[rashbeep]

This trailer looks way better than the last.

I find it difficult to get excited about this particular story, but it's still Star Wars.

 

[duckroll]

Yeah what kind of joker thought this was a good idea?

The way they all follow that girl makes her seem like an enchantress.

 

[Peru]

Dig the trailer and the look of the movie. Their crew is a bit of a sausage fest though.

 

[Atraveller]

These ragtag folks look like some kind of... Suicide Squad.

You know Jyn, we really are the Rogue Ones.

 

[kurahador]

If the ending is not something like this;

I'm gonna be sooo disappointed.

 

[Bucca]

Jyn got me feeling all sorts of things

phew

 

[Gravidee]

I think some of you are expecting too much out of Vader's appearance. At most he'll probably just kill off some incompetent Imperial folks that failed at their jobs. Basically a cameo/guest appearance.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I think some of you are expecting too much out of Vader's appearance. At most he'll probably just kill off some incompetent Imperial folks that failed at their jobs. Basically a cameo/guest appearance.

Nah. There's literally no chance he doesn't cut the rebels to pieces in the end.

 

[duckroll]

Nah. The final act will be Donnie Yen taking him on one on one wuxia style in an epic martial arts force battle while the others escape. Expectations through the roof!!!!!

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

**yawn**

I felt nothing. I'm not going anywhere near this after the shitfest that was The Force Awakens.

 

[Irnbru]

Nah. The final act will be Donnie Yen taking him on one on one wuxia style in an epic martial arts force battle while the others escape. Expectations through the roof!!!!!

D:
Choo choo motherfucker. Although I know this is a joke, I wonder if his baton could charge up to fight a light saber.

 

[- J - D -]

Bless you diehard Vader fans, believing in a guy who hasn't been cool since 1999.

 

[Gleethor]

Cipher Peon, you have the weirdest taste that I have ever seen.

Fixed

 

[duckroll]

D:

Why does he need to charge up anything. He's a blind super warrior. A lightsaber needs to actually hit something to work. Vader has no chance. Rogue One? More like Zato-One!
