Star Wars Lives!

@LHoffman:

@aequitas:

Rouge one will fit in right between RoS and AnH.
That means there could be the possibility to see Darth Vader smashing some
Kasshikktrees and hunting down some Jedis.

The title doesn’t allow a speculation lime this.
But i think the new looking Evo helmets are a tiny hint on this Trailer.

Just me thinking out loud.

They are going to bring Vader back. It is inevitable.

Most marketable icon in pop culture… Disney can’t say no to all the $$$.

That would raise another question.
Who will it be?

What do you mean who? Like the guy in the costume? As long as he can bring the brooding presence in the costume, it shouldn’t really matter. Voice will have to be James Earl Jones as always.

For some weird reason I thought he allready past away (Earl Jones).

Haha… weird cause I had the same thought and had to check real quick. I think there was some fake report that went around a few months ago that he had died. Made me do a double take too.

Wikipedia says he is alive anyway…

It’s been confirmed for a while that Vader will be in Rogue One

I had only heard it was a rumor. But if true, well, there you go.

Rogue One is going to be awesome. That sound on the trailer is awesome. Vader unleashed, will be icing on the cake. :-D

Star Wars has been dead to me since I heard JJ Abrams was directing the Force Awakens, or when I heard Disney bought it, somewhere in there. This is just kicking the dead bantha now.

I am extremely jaded with big budget franchise or re-boot films… Nothing but sycophantic money grabs and hollow masquerades. Darth Vader will never die. Han Solo isn’t dead either; I am sure you will see him again soon.

Star Wars is just another franchise now; it will have highs and lows but it can’t re-bottle the magic and wonder of the OT. It’s essentially in the same boat as James Bond.

And as long as James Earl Jones has working vocal chords you can bet we’ll hear plenty more Vader appearances.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

This gives some hope. It at least looks good.

TFA was Not quiet my expectation.
I liked it for the effects and to see a SW movie again.
But the plot??

I hope R1 is more dedicated to the original story.
Don’t care if it is more of a war movie because Star WARS  says allready that it is not about petting 
a cat.  8-)

@LHoffman:

This gives some hope.

One might even say “a new hope”, to coin a phrase.

ROGUE ONE over EP VII, Hands down!!

That is SW as we know it!

a must see.

Yeah, I saw it Thursday night.
Better than Force Awakens (I still haven’t watched that one a 2nd time)
I wasn’t exactly blown away, though.  Although I loved the views from the fighters, but they broke away from them too quickly - would have loved to have had 5-8 seconds
Also loved the panoramic views (which Episode VII also had) but too short for me
Too slow and boring the first half, but part of the trouble was our volume wasn’t loud enough.  It’s torture not to have the volume control.

And - What General Veers said….

I was more satisfied after seeing Rogue One versus The Force Awakens, and this was in very large part to one very pleasant surprise appearance from a classic character.

I agree the cinematography was weak overall, and there were chunks of the first half that could have been left of the chopping room floor. My biggest takeaway from Rogue One is that this is distinctly a Star Wars action movie with a very different feel from the others. It makes sense since this is a standalone film that does not need to spend much time on character development or exposition.

Haven’t seen it yet, plan to this week sometime.

However… calling it better than Force Awakens is not exactly high praise to me. Considering Force Awakens may be last on my list.

No kidding, Mr. Hoffman :)

General, wasn’t the pleasant surprise appearance of your crush just computer trickery?
Maybe you should invest in a hologram projector for your home so you can see her and her glorious buns any time you want  :lol:
