Looks fantastic to me.

Even if the movie turns out to be by the numbers I can't help but falling to the Dark Hype Side from this trailer.

[Atramental]

Dat Admiral in the white uniform. A Thrawn inspired character, perhaps?

[Stoney Mason]

I like that it looks darker. Otherwise I know nothing about this film and I'll try to keep it that way.

[Atramental]

Also loving that this film looks like it could've been made during the late 70s if Lucas had a billion dollar budget back then.

[Boogie]

Love it.

And I like that it looks like it will have a different look/tone from the main series.

Take all mah money, Disney

[Syph]

Hated the rebel line. Besides that, (and this is a weird one) the biggest thing that bugged me was how much makeup it seemed the female protag was wearing. I'm not SJW but since when have rebels had access to makeup or had the time to apply it? Just seemed really weird to me in that one shot of her lol

Besides that, it's Star Wars, of course I'm hyped.

[chronovore]

Lead actress looks like Eddie Remayne couldn't give up The Dutch Girl look.

Trailer looks great. Film looks intense.

I didn't need more Death Star again.

[ToxicAdam]

Looks fine. I'm  kind of immune to Star Wars now. I haven't even seen the new mainline movie yet.

[zomgee]

Looks wonderful.

[Yeti]

I am on the hype train

[Great Rumbler]

This looks like a movie that I want to watch.

[toku]

two minute "teaser"

[Cerveza mas fina]

goddamn what a time to be a star wars fan

looks mint

[toku]

goddamn what a time to be a star wars fan

not if you also hate women

 

[Phoenix Dark]

This looks really good. One of the hardest things about sci fi prequels is that modern film making is so high tech that it's nigh impossible to replicate the grit or "lived in" look of the previous film. Prometheus was a major offender in this department for instance. Just based on the brief teaser that world looks like the A New Hope world, just in HD.

whewwww

Agree but Prometheus did have Charlize Theron
that's my whole comment really

[Snake]

The trailer itself is a little obnoxious in how generic it's cut, but a lot of the footage looks surprisingly good. The outfitting/sets are also a lot more faithful to the Episode 4 era than I was expecting (as much as is possible for a 2016 film).

Looks like it'll be better than Godzilla (2014) at least.

[doctavius bonbon]

Looks dope. I could have done without that looping tusk raider horn effect tho.

saw this and looked at the comments. 

[Atramental]

The people who cut this teaser must be the same uncreative group who keeps on putting those goddamn horn loops in every single trailer/teaser now-a-days. 

[Human Snorenado]

Looks good to me, I'm way pleased with Disney's handling of the SW property so far. The fact that they keep casting strong female leads, thus resulting in ruffled misogynist feathers is just icing on the cake. I'MA EAT.

I don't care that the Death Star is involved, because when this movie was announced, it was announced as the story of the spies that stole the plans to the OG Death Star.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Is that Donnie Yen? I saw Donnie Yen. That's Donnie Yen right? OMG Donnie Yen!

[chronovore]

Is that Donnie Yen? I saw Donnie Yen. That's Donnie Yen right? OMG Donnie Yen!

It appears to be Donnie Yen as Zatoichi.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I dunno who Donnie Yen is 

My wife is not convinced by Felicity Jones, thought she was a bit too much of stereotype (with her lines I guess?)

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yes clearly it's not an Oscar worthy magnus opus like Avatar.

I don't know who was the Borean that said that he would be mad if Donnie Yen was just there to wave a stick for two scenes. That would indeed be a pity but that's already what happened in Blade 2 (and Highlander Endgame, god I forgot about that ) so I prefer to expect a repeat of that, unfortunately.

I dunno who Donnie Yen is ?

Famous HK martial arts film star, seen in the Ip Man franchise, arguably the biggest one in the current industry after many years of having to take a seat to Jackie Chan & Jet Li (He started in film in the mid-80). He's not as charismatic as they are and I'm not up to date to with his recent career (I found Sha Po Lang and Flashpoint to be terribly shit and pretty light on the action, so I'm not going to suffer through any Wilson Yip movie ever again) but there's a number of great classics from the 80-90 with great scenes even though he was rarely the main man.

If you like HK flicks I would recommend Iron Monkey and also Dragon Inn (the 92 version) or Once upon a time in China 2 (he's the antagonist in the last two) for the ones in costumes. Yen was also the star of Tiger Cage 1 & 2 and In the line of duty 4 which are competent, action packed, 80's HK crime movies (fairly jank & low brow).

[brawndolicious]

Looks good.

Surprised a Borean said that.

been meaning to watch IP man for years now, this puts it even higher on the to watch list

[Sman]

Not feeling it.

Don't care how the rebels got the first Death Star plans. Not worth making a whole movie for; feels too gimmicky and forced nostalgia like TFA. Not interested in a movie with another Death Star in any case. Main character looks dull and cliché.

And that alarm sound...

They'e not perfect but I can't let you throw FP and SPL under the bus when they gave us these:

[Great Rumbler]

[Cerveza mas fina]

that alarm gave me goose bumps

feel bad for everyone not excited, sucks to be you guys

[Trent Dole]

I saw the entire prequel trilogy in theaters, they can't really present me with anything worse than that carrying the Star Wars name. I'll be in a theater for this at some point.

[Mr. Gundam]

Who's doing the music for this one?

[benjipwns]

 

would much rather other genres set in star wars than more jj style rehashes

yeah but gary whitta and gareth edwards

on the hand chris weitz, CO-WRITER OF ANTZ

Who's doing the music for this one?

Alexandre Desplat

[benjipwns]

 omg mark hamill in the segment after the trailer

[Atramental]

Rogue Squadron is probably what you associated Rogue One with.

[king of the internet]

It looks neat. But I liked the trailer better the first time I watched it, when the audio was on mute.

[Great Rumbler]

It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking
from a hidden base, have won
their first victory against
the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, Rebel
spies managed to steal secret
plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH
STAR, an armored space
station with enough power
to destroy an entire planet.

[VomKriege]

Yeah sorry, I can see one would find some of the fights enticing... all 1.5 of them  . I find the films super cheap on that front (The trailer for Flashpoint had pretty much all the action money shots) and the fights are not anything too special either if you've seen your faire share of HK classics. I also found the stories or maybe rather the tone of the narration insultingly bad, adding offence to injury. Super bland plots with an air of moral self importance that is really jarring.

Flashpoint was by a miniscule margin more tolerable to me as it sometimes gets so absurdly bad you can at least have a good laugh.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a whole remote activated bomb in a roasted chicken sequence that I found hilarious.

[close]

That's why I'm mentioning In the line of duty 4 over that : the film is super jank, borderline xenophobic ("Evil US gweilo CIA spooks, including some grunting black man, fucking up HK") but there's like half a dozen fights & crazy stunts in that.

[Phoenix Dark]

Another Star Wars movie with a planet destroying weapon huh

Maybe Manabyte is right. At least the prequels had original worlds and concepts and lore

[Boogie]

So when I heard they were making a movie called "Rogue One", I assumed, stupidly it seems, that it would heavily involve X-Wings. I didn't see a single starfighter in that whole goddamn trailer.

There's a crashed X-wing in the background of the Donnie Yen scene.

And I do agree, when they first revealed the title, I was all "fuck yeah!  Rogue Squadron movie all over my face!"  And then when they described what it actually was, I was disappointed.

But I'm back to hype.  The concept here actually seems as close as we'll get to the Wraith Squadron books, which I really liked.

[seagrams hotsauce]

I think this one is a prequel too, right? Looks like that chick is the 'good people' that dies bringing Leia the plans to the death star right?

It's set right before A New Hope.

[seagrams hotsauce]

Seems like a neat idea. Trailer doesn't really do anything for me but the one for the last movie didn't either and I enjoyed it more than I expected. I am definitely already preemptively fatigued by how much star wars shit is coming though, I give it til episode 8 comes out until I probably am as sick of SW as I am of most marvel nonsense

No John Williams? It's ...not really a Star Wars film then. I guess that just further cements its status as a side film but still, come on Disney, it's not like you are lacking in cash and this won't clean up at the box office or anything. Maybe the schedule they are churning these out at prevents JW from doing them all.

[Yeti]

John Williams is probably already busy on Episode VIII

[Purrp Skirrp]

I'm down after being lukewarm on TFA. This looks like it'll have more of an identity and rely less on exploiting the collective pop culture nostalgia of a few generations

That beach shot is hot, hoping there's some kind of scifi PG-13 Saving Private Ryan D-Day scene (basically Live. Die. Repeat.). I want this offshoot and the next in the trilogy to deviate more from your typical Star Wars trappings. I get that as the first in a trilogy type reboot, TFA had to reestablish what Star Wars is while also updating it for a new movie going audience. Still it'd suck if the next two mainline films were again basically reimaginings of the original trilogy. Guess the nostalgia cues didn't do much for me cuz I only recently watched the originals. They were still fresh in my mind so TFA felt forced

[seagrams hotsauce]

ugh I hate you "john williams woulda saved it" motherfuckers more than anything

[Trent Dole]

John Williams is probably already busy on Episode VIII

Yeah, that's basically the conclusion I've drawn. Either can't do all of them due to time constraints or wont't because dude doesn't want to spend severqal years of his life scoring nothing but one franchise.

ugh I hate you "john williams woulda saved it" motherfuckers more than anything

I'll see it either way, I saw all the fucking prequels in theaters!
