Yuuuup, that ending is what I came for.

Don't screw this up.

Casual viewers probably didn't know he was going to be in the movie, and fans haven't seen Vader in a Star Wars movie since ROTS, so if you're going to judge people for getting excited about the back of Vader's helmet...well...I won't finish the sentence.

You might want to consider how it looks for you to shame people for getting hyped about Star Wars when you're posting on NeoGAF.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

Looks good so far, gonna keep my hopes tempered though.

Oh, who am I kidding. Lord have mercy on the movies that have to contend with this it's first few weekends, it's gonna be another monster.

 

[Jacobi]

That trailer itself wasn't as exciting as the first one, but it sure shows a lot of potential.

 

[Blablurn]

As a casual SW fan who is mainly in for the hype, I think it was a solid trailer. It's crazy how much screen power the evil dude has compared to the good guys (even though Donnie Yen looks cool)

Surely you must realize that's not it. It's the prospect of getting new scenes with Darth Vader. Come on.

 

[Toxi]

Porkins wasn't Stay on Target Guy, come on people.

That was Garven Dreis.

 

[Raptor]

Looks like Tony Gilroy is now credited as screenwriter alongside Chris Weitz. We knew he was writing some additional dialogue but I guess it was substantial enough to be credited.

Tony Gilroy will always be a favorite of mine cause of Michael Clayton, one of my favorite movies of recent times.

Im intrigued to say the least.

Like Star Wars? Yeah.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I can't wait to hear Alexandre Desplat's music. This isn't the first time he's done music for a franchise that initially had John Williams compose the music. Desplat composed the scores of the final two Harry Potter films.

He did a really good job too. Love Obliviate, Lily's Theme and Statues.

Speaking of Death Stars, I think people have had enough of them now.

No more.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

That was Garven Dreis.

Are these guys even canon anymore?

 

[EdReedFan20]

He did a really good job too. Love Obliviate, Lily's Theme and Statues.

I thought Courtyard Apocalypse, a variation of Statues was really good. Also, Dragon Flight was good.

 

[Kayhan]

That one fat rebel pilot and George Lucas names him Porkins.

smh

 

[Toxi]

Are these guys even canon anymore?

He was in the movie, so yeah.

 

[CadetMahoney]

That one fat rebel pilot and George Lucas names him Porkins.

smh

The man is a poet.

 

[Toxi]

That one fat rebel pilot and George Lucas names him Porkins.

smh

At least Snap Wexley doesn't have to live with that indignity.

 

[Escape Goat]

At least Snap Wexley doesn't have to live with that indignity.

The first fat man in Starfleet too

 

[Count Dookkake]

C'mon. Let's see the rest of the sentence.

That one fat rebel pilot and George Lucas names him Porkins.

smh

It's probably the best thing about Star Wars.

I was really hoping the fat Resistance pilot in ep7 was gonna be Porkins Jr.


Tangentially, if you want to cosplay as Porkins, is it some kind of appropriation or privilege if you wear a fat suit?

 

[TAJ]

He's the CCO (Chief Creative Officer) at ILM now.

I know that, but ILM isn't known for their screenwriting.

 

[Soldiussnaku]

I'm very happy at seeing such a diverse cast, it's what modern day Hollywood should strive for, and for the second time in a row a female in what appears to be the lead role. A tip of the hat to the filmmakers, writers and Disney to push for this type of diversification.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I love Ridley. But yeah from what we've seen of Jones, they don't appear to be utilizing her talents (of course, these are just trailers, so we'll have to see what the end product is). I'm just getting "I'm a badass street smart action star with clever one liners" instead of anything meaningful and worthwhile for her character. Hopefully that changes in the film itself. Not feeling her vibe. The only thing I've enjoyed from her thus far is her delivery of "May the Force be with us" in the celebration reel. I want more of THAT. Lots of dialogue she's been given has been really bad though.

Rey was instantly likable from the trailers. I don't think this new character has made enough of an impression yet.

I liked the trailers for TFA and I ended up having a great time with the movie itself (enough to have seen it twice in theaters, which I hadn't done since The Dark Knight), but the trailer for Rogue One isn't quite giving me the right vibe yet, so I'm uncertain about the movie as well.

I'll keep an open mind. Like I said earlier, trailers are so often misleading that I'm usually willing to reserve judgment.

All that said, visually the movie looks on point.

 

[hipsterpants]

Literally everything except the main character looks really good.

Can't believe they're following this with... young Han Solo.

I'm not looking forward to young Han Solo, but Lawrence Kasdan made his demands.

These fucking nerds getting excited about seeing the arguably most iconic villain in cinematic history, bunch of idiots.

Wow thats bad. Like to the point of making me angry.

Agreed, the fact that Star Wars fans are getting a movie that they think looks amazing just boils my blood.

 

[Gravidee]

Not too excited about the Han Solo film. More than anything, I'm just interested in seeing how it expands the lore. Maybe we'll get to see Corellia, among other things.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I'm way more intrigued by the Obi-Wan movie than the Han Solo one.

 

[Surfinn]

I'm way more intrigued by the Obi-Wan movie than the Han Solo one.

It needs to happen. Totally agree.

 

[Einchy]

I'm way more intrigued by the Obi-Wan movie than the Han Solo one.

We don't know if there's an Obi-Wan movie coming, so far it's just fans hoping they'd make one.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I'm way more intrigued by the Obi-Wan movie than the Han Solo one.

We don't even know if it's happening yet. Hopefully it will. Ewan said he's game.

 

[Surfinn]

We don't even know if it's happening yet. Hopefully it will. Ewan said he's game.

How this could NOT happen would be absolutely puzzling to me.

 

[adj_noun]

At least Snap Wexley doesn't have to live with that indignity.

I hereby petition a canon namechange to Snax Wexley.

We have a tradition to uphold.

 

[Ridley327]

I know that, but ILM isn't known for their screenwriting.

Neither was Abrams! :rimshot:

It certainly looks nice, but I do agree that the story in of itself isn't all that intriguing. It is nice to see Donnie Yen with a big part in a western blockbuster, though!

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Obi-Wan movie would completely overshadow the sequel trilogy. It will probably happen after Star Wars Episode IX: Revelation of the Forever and be a multiple-installment series itself.

 

[Lifejumper]

The OP title is wrong btw. It isnt called a "story trailer". Could give people the wrong expectations, this is just the second trailer.

 

[FF Seraphim]

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!!!!!

...I would love them to have some epic martial arts moment in a Star Wars film but after they failed to use the Raid people properly my hopes have been dashed...

What did he mean by this

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

Disney themselves called it that, so the OP is just mirroring that information.

I hope the games industry take note and any Star Wars games by EA follow the same line of diversity

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

No, Lucasfilm called it Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

No, Lucasfilm called it Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer.

Marketing is the same shared division I believe, but the point still stands.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Marketing is the same shared division I believe, but fair enough.

No I mean the film is called Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It's just a regular trailer #1

 

[xevis]

Oh look, it's the Death Star. Again. How exciting.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

No I mean the film is called Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It's just a regular trailer #1

Nothing wrong with the OP title.

Edit: wait, in my sleep haze at 2am in the morning I got your point, my bad...

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Marketing is the same shared division I believe, but the point still stands.

The film's full title is literally Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

The video is just titled: [Rogue One: A Star Wars Story] + [Trailer].

 

[Count Dookkake]

Who's on first?
