On a personal level it feels like the Death Star is too central to these plots and is too convenient. However I’ll give this movie the benefit of the doubt since it looks like it will branch out from the wobbly Force mythology it has set up. Not every protagonist needs to be force attuned and have a great destiny ahead of him or her.
Agreed. However, I can handle this one because it is the original Death Star and it is an untold take on a long hinted at story. I have been looking forward to this movie much more than I ever did for Force Awakens. Although my excitement for that was essentially a negative value, so take that for what it is worth.
I really hope this one turns out well… Lord I pray there are no JJ Abrams style 3-D loops with ships going upside down and that crap. Just make it like a regular Star Wars movie please.
after tfa, I have no hope for nr VIII. rogue one, on the other hand, I am looking forward to it so much. They seem to be free, free of precedence, of expectations. Oh boy, can it be better than having Mon Mothma? Actually…is it dreaming too big to expect Ackbar as slave of Tarkin (not sure timeline-wise if he still was at that time)?
In any case, they seem to try hard to recreate the ANH look, which is good.
The Trailer got me with the sound of the alarm sirene and the typically sound of an
All Terrain-AT fireing his cannons.
Kinda reminds me of:
Darth Vader: He is as clumsy as he is stupid! General… prepare your troops for a surface attack.
General Veers: Yes, my Lord.
Or:
General Veers: Yes, Lord Vader. I’ve reached the main power generators. The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.
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!
Rouge one Trailer #2 (more like an extended one)

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-)
