"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" trailer

@GuanoLad

As much as I would love to see this, with a double who can be digitally augmented (Mae Whitman remains my first choice), more likely they’ll use Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa for this part.

Her?

@cmyk

I wonder, is some of this story set on Alderaan? Must be.

Last scene of the movie. Order comes to the group from HQ, “well done everybody, now please assemble on Alderaan”.:eek:

As it’s been established that R2 and C-3PO are his droids, both at the end of SWIII and in Star Wars Rebels, I think this very likely indeed. Still, they might show him handing the droids over to the Princess (however they manage her) on the ship, before heading back to Alderaan.

Her?

Her?

@brossa

Her?

Huh?

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.

@Acsenray

Huh?

GuanoLad means that Smits’ character will provide that function in the film, not literally play Princess Leia.

[Acsenray]

That would thought was clear. I didn’t get all the “her” stuff.

[GuanoLad]

@Acsenray

Huh?

Mae Whitman was in Arrested Development. The joke was whenever her character was mentioned they would respond with a confused “Her?” Now whenever I see her spoken of online, it automatically gets a “Her?”

[Lobot]

Well, that’ll teach me for jumping in.

And while I WAS hoping, when I first heard about this project, that it would be a series of films about the Wedge-Antilles-led Rogue Squadron (which had their own extensive subgenre in the EU), I’m okay with this, too, and will probably go see it.

That’s a good point. Even within the original films, “Rogue Squadron” is cannon, starting around Empire.

@GuanoLad

Actually, the AT-ATs are slightly visually tweaked. The heads are a different design, and don’t seem to have the “mouth” guns.

Apparently they are something called an AT-ACT (All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport).

Please excuse the nitpick: Canon

It’s been 11 years since RotS, so Jimmy Smits will be about a decade shy of his character age at this time. But that’s okay, just have him keep this, and he’s alright.

[AK84]

RoTS was shot in 2003.

[MrDibble]

Seriously? You revive a thread *after a month ** to make a flipping nitpick about a two-year difference? Here I thought something new was happening, like a new trailer or something.

• waiting on you to tell me it’s 5 days shy of a whole month…

New trailer:

Save the [del]cheerleader[/del] Rebellion, save the [del]world[/del] dream

Think I prefer the first one.

Thanks Jimmy Wordsmits :dubious:

Speculation: if the main character’s father worked on designing the Death Star, and if he was doing so somewhat against his will, I wonder if the weakness with the small thermal exhaust port was an accident at all?

[drewder]

I’m going to preemptively declare how this movie should have ended. She uses her smart phone to upload the death star plans to WikiLeaks.
