> I liked the trailer. Definitely has more of a “WWII movie” sort of vibe to it - sorta Dirty Dozen-esque, with the focus being on the soldiers on the ground and not so much the grand manipulations happening on top of the pyramid. Definitely looking forward to seeing it when it comes out.

Nobody has a lightsabre in either trailer (unless I’m forgetting something) which is impressive restraint for Disney. It looks like it’s all about either normal people doing extraordinary things or force sensitive people not just swinging their sword about.

The follow up trailer makes their mission seem a little more perilous, TFA seemed to want to dispel any tension at every moment, which was a shame. The original movie was a bit of a thrill and the good guys lost their share of friends regardless of it being certified suitable for all.

Kathleen Kennedy [confirmed](https://variety.com/2016/film/features/star-wars-rogue-one-lucasfilm-jj-abrams-kathleen-kennedy-1201923806/) that there will be no opening crawl and the score will not be done by the John Williams orchestra. That’s going to be a bit strange, but what the hell. It’s a stand alone movie.

I’d like to see a final shot of someone hand delivering the plans to Leia but without revealing her face or voice. Like a back view of her looking out over a vista or something and someone enters stage left to hand it to her.

That would be all right with me. I don’t insist that they either recast the Princess or use obvious de-aging CGI on Carrie Fisher.

I don’t think CGI has progressed _that_ far anyway…
