Jyn vs. TIE ? Who will win?
[Possible Spoiler] I could see it now. She’s standing there on the tower carrying the console that holds plans to the Death Star. The TIE raises up. It’s a stand off. She plugs the console into the transmitter. You hear orders over the pilots intercom to kill her. The TIE fires directly at her as she presses the button. The final shot shows a blown up platform engulfed in flames then the camera pans up to the sky and you see Princess Leia’s Rebel Blockade Runner flying overhead and then warp out of orbit. End movie. Perfect ending that transitions perfectly into the beginning of Star Wars IV.
^I’m not even kidding I have had the same idea in my head. I feel like our heroes are going to eat it hard, in glorious fashion, and then they are going to send us to a shot of leia and the gang/rebel ship receiving it in some way.
Could be that but you forget to tell it’s looks like the Vader”s modified TIE. Other than that, it’s all good IMO. 😉
My jaw hit the floor. Consider most of my doubts about this movie completely dispelled.
Couldn’t agree more. I wasn’t pessimistic before – but I definitely just went from cautiously optimistic to excited.
“I thought this amazing trailer was over, but I was so wrong – and then my jaw dropped.” – BuzzFeed
I fear nothing. All is as the Force wills it.
Looks incredible. Re-shoots what??
I love K2SO giving the odds like 3PO.
Love the shot of Krennick’s face. He looks intense.
This looks awesome!!!
That was glorious. If it can live up to that trailer… the non saga films may turn out to be the real gems.
Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaader!!!!!

You get it
YASSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Who else watched it live?
Waited up to see it. Phelps vs Lochte was great… this was better
I only started watching since 10 (50 minutes for me)… but it was soooo worth it lol.
This is the Prequel we may have been waiting for all these years!
But I still love the world the Prequels built around the Jedi.
The lore of the prequels was great. The execution of it…..not so much. That being said its apart of the universe all the same but man if Disney handled them back in the day the same they are doing it now, they might be THE Star Wars trilogy. That’s for an alternate time line though.
The Prequels were executed horribly. I only hope I live long enough for Disney to someday RE DO them.
1 and 2 need to be totally redone. I actually enjoyed rots immensely despite its flaws. TCWS was lucas’s successful attempt at fixing the prequels after the fact, and contain some of my favorite Star Wars moments and lore.
I totally agree, and it was a necessary step in the overall story to portray the republic in the prequels and tcws. I hope we get an old republic movie during the next 10 years.
It’s hard to put it into words but the feeling behind it all just felt so real. Like this is a universe with people in it. Living real lives. Grounded and awesome. Don’t get me wrong… of course I love Star Wars but sometimes it can feel almost to fantasy. Like you’re watching a fable.
Man I’m super pumped now… like… really pumped.
That and how many of these shots portray the huge scale very well.
YOU NAILED IT !
That awesome awesome. I just hope the small amount of Vader doesn’t mean we won’t see him in the movie. I wanna see vader in a room with like 30 Rebels and just destroy them or some other huge feat to reinforce how powerful and violent Vader was.
He was in the trailer man… split second after the title. 1:54.
I know, like you said split second.
Lower your expectations.
Amazing trailer. I would have died if they ended it with the TIE at the end being an Advanced x1 with Vader flying it.
That would have been so much better than a tacked on 3 second clip of the back of his head. lol
I was hoping for the reflection in the floor. That was powerful even in the crappy cam version lol.
Yeah, but that was the only less than mind-blowing shot in the trailer.
THIS IS THE PREQUEL I ALWAYS WANTED!!!!!!! There is a GROUNDED REALISM and EMOTIONAL GRIT to this! THANK YOU DISNEY FOR THE *FIRST* AMAZING STAR WARS PREQUEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It captures something I just haven’t quite felt before and it’s utterly amazing. If the movie is half as good as this we are in for a treat.
Grounded realism?
He’s obviously referring to the dirty look.
I would call that lived in not realistic. Its just really hard to use spaceships and spacemonks in the same sentence as realistic.
Hmm, maybe. But where are the aliens and unique worlds? Much like Force Awakens I couldn’t help but feel I’ve seen the worlds featured before. The opening shot was very evocative of Mos Eisley.
Blocked for fanning flames, baiting, & trying to rile/stir people up.
And realism? Really, we’re going there, in an universe that deals with mystical things such as the Force, Force users like Jedi and the Sith, and movies that are considered sci-fi and fantasy in general? FOH
This is going to be the FIRST GOOD PREQUEL – so yeah – deal 🙂
That looks a lot better than the first trailer, which I did not like. This looks good!
I agree, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first teaser. I mean, I grew to like it, but this trailer is far superior in my opinion.
Love the new trailer! I get the feeling though, this is going to be a quite a tragic story. Its a war movie, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t see any if not but a few characters making it out of this film alive.
I’m more worried they’ll take the safe route and only kill a few… this story will be way more impactful the more that die. So I’m all onboard for that. Punch me right in the emotions. I’m ready to cry at a Star Wars movie!! Well out of sadness and not awe that is… 😛
Good point. Definitely a different approach to what we have seen before. I was wondering too, how much or if we would see vader in the trailer. Now we have our answer.
Also nice name. I already love it. Rolls off the tongue. K-2SO!
You didn’t cry when Vader died?
Cool imagery.
Cool action.
Cool world-building.
Characters a little flat and not all that appealing at first glance.
Pretty much my take also. The fantastic imagery seems to be compensating for characters that, so far, I must admit don’t much interest me. I was more excited by the shot of Vader than anything else.
Biographies of characters aren’t usually in trailers.
No, but something that makes me want to be somewhat interested in discovering who they are is. Jyn Erso simply doesn’t pique my interest all that much after seeing these two trailers.
Just a little bit of pee came out.
Hoooooly shiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!! God that trailer is amazing, the movie will be too
I get the feeling that saw will be my favorite character. Forest is killing it.
You can tell that from a few lines?
Yes, he can tell what he likes
And I can tell who has a pole up his backside…
You?
Is it you? Questioning how much of something someone needs to see before having a feeling Saw will be there favorite character?
Give me a break.
He has a presence that really translated for me. It’s rare to have such a great actor in SW. 🙂
Loved the shoulder rocket to the AT-ACT.
Loved it but goddammit where are the aliens?
Yeah, second trailer and no aliens.
Plus, it’s all very dirty, bleak and dark. I’m okay with that, but I’m still not feeling that it’s the same world as the prequels existed in.
It’s not. It’s a gritty, war-torn galaxy…
Yeah it’s more of a post World War era… only the Nazi won. So not so hot… on a galactic scale.
It’s not directly connected to the prequels what so ever so why would it feel like the same? The prequels don’t feel like the OT.
Well, because it’s all part of the same universe. I was hoping for some visual connection. A way to sort of “repair” the prequels in the same way the Clone Wars cartoon did.
This is right up to the point where ANH starts.
Rebels is the bridge.
But the OT never had a visual connection to the PT and this is apart of the OT world. 18 years has passed since the PT. The empire has changed the Galaxy it doesn’t look the way it once did. It’s all one shared universe but the tones are so different and that’s deliberately done. I am sure there will be more future canon (Currently: Dark Diciple, Obi-Wan & Anakin comic etc) that will help repair the prequels but I don’t think this is the film to do it in. This is a very specific story that is being told. The time will come for the prequels to be redeemed, this just isn’t it.
Tatooine is the same along the 6 movies 😉
Yes, but that’s likely not Tatooine.
Many Bothans died in the filming of this movie! (no need to correct me, tis a joke… I know that’s DSII)
Seriously though… we’ve got Space Monkey. All is well!
Disney’s fear of marketing aliens is really worrying me. If they don’t want to show them, they also won’t feature any prominently. And that sucks.
Well I had a theory that SM would die a noble death providing cover fire… so not that much screen time.
For all those thinking they might do an Ashoka movie, that just shows how there is no chance of that happening any time soon.
That’s an awfully big leap to assume such a thing.
I’m sure the lack of aliens in trailers is really a marketing, a business decision. If they fear too much aliens can scare people away, they won’t throw 200 millions dollars on a movie where the lead is an alien.
Why would aliens scare people away?
Because with the exception of star wars science fiction films have mostly always struggled at the box office because a lot of people are not interested in “goofy aliens”. I don’t agree, but I’m sure you know a couple of persons like that.
Well, Guardians had a talking raccoon and a tree.
Yeah but would it have not been a Marvel movie it would never have made that much money.
It was a good movie – it would have made good money.
The highest grossing film of all time is Avatar. The world has proven it can handle alien leads.
The Rebels were mostly human, even in ROTJ’s briefing scene, they are largely human, even after the Mon Cals and Sullustans join up. And it fits with what we know of the species that the Rebel Alliance war predominantly made of in ANH – which is the same base on Yavin 4, all human. We’ll see in the streets of whatever cities how many aliens there are, we didn’t get to see that in a trailer.
Yeah that is valid point but I think it was because in 1976 george did not have the budget or the technology to have aliens running around every scene. I think love them or not the prequels showed that George envisioned a really more diversified universe.
He had masks though, as per the cantina.
And a giant preying mantis prop (with a devil guy and a werewolf…..hmmm…but SW is soooo ‘original’).
Well, too bad for George.
The movie that was created in 1977 is one of the most important movie in history, created the blockbuster and the only SW film that won the Oscar for best editing (that we subsequently aren’t allowed to watch unless we preserved our VHS collection or watch it illegally). And its own logic works perfectly.
I respect that but as a avid readers of star wars novels and comic books for many years I think those mediums have always also showed a galaxy where humans are not the majority everwhere they go as it’s a lot easier to write or draw aliens that to put them on screens.
And I prefer that. Makes a lot more sense. I think the prequels did a great job in that regard and I’m disapointed that Lucasfilm seem to shy away from that.
I want all Star Wars to feel like this trailer.
I know right? It feels strange to discount the entire film franchise… but man that feeling this trailer gave off. Wow… I instantly wanted more side stories and less saga. It’s such a rich universe.
Looks pretty good on first watch. However, my wife (casual fan) said, “I don’t know what that was all about.”
Still looks like a dark war movie to me. I guess you can’t believe all you read.
Exactly. I can’t believe people were still banging the “Di$ney are nerfing it” drum after the Celebration reel had slo-mo battle scenes with music from The Thin Red Line.
The new trailer was laser targeted at every stupid rumor. They’re nerfing it — battle scenes. It’s in trouble because it’s humorless — jokes. There will be no space battles — X-Wings and Star Destroyers. Classiest way to set the record straight.
FUCK. YEAH.
Just enough nostaglia to make it feel like the earlier films. It doesn’t beat you over the head with it like TFA. Amazing. So excited for this. Fuck you take all my republic credits.
Well this doesn’t have the original cast in it either. So it makes sense a movie with the original cast would do that more.
Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real…..
125 days!!!
Cool but confusing why there is a blind kung fu master in star wars. Crouching Tie fighter, hidden Jedi?
Because the Force has inspired faith even in those who can not wield it. It’s a holy site… Jedha. They live there. I think a Monk joining the rebellion because of what the Empire did there is totally cool. IMO.
I think he can wield it. I think he’s a force sensitive who never became a Jedi.
I was fairly sure this movie was to be devoid of such things outside of Vader? Because technically even though he wouldn’t be a Jedi… a force user is still pretty spot on.
The planet Jedah, is said to be some sort of Jedi “Mecca”. I think there will be plenty of stuff about The Force in it. All that’s been said is that it’s a time in which The Jedi themselves aren’t around and the galaxy is suffering as a result.
Oh yeah the Force is a huge part of it… but I don’t think it’ll be wielded. If that makes any sense. Then again you said he was sensitive… not a user.
Yeah. I suspect he uses the force, but isn’t trained in how to use it, if that makes sense. He’s aware of it, and that’s how he fights blind. That’s my guess anyhow.
Official Databank entry for Chirrut says:
Though he lacks Force abilities, this warrior monk has rigorously honed his body through intense physical and mental discipline.
So, he is NOT Force sensitive though fans constantly repeat that he is.
That’s what I thought but I couldn’t fully remember. I thought Edwards was pretty clear.
Ahh, I have not read that.
Because samurai movies are a massive part of the fabric of Star Wars.
I believe the reason is similar to why Star Wars also has a hulking evil samurai (Vader), a roguish cowboy (Han), a grotesque mob boss (Jabba)….
Can Rogue Two be about the Rebels massing near Sullust and they steal the shuttle Tyderium? Bothans……
The fact palps let them have the plans kind of under cuts the drama for me.
This.
Ah, good point. But the Rebels don’t know that. Still… It’d be fun to see Bothans fighting.
But the Rebels don’t know that. 🙂
true, but we would. i guess it would depend on how they did it. regardless, i would still see it if they made it. 🙂
This is a One Shot, my man. One and done. All the foreseeable ‘Star Wars Stories’ will operate this way.
I know. I’m probly one of the bigger fans on this site. I was just wishing out loud.
There’s definitely a film I want to see right there!
That line about the Bothans has always fascinated me..
Awesome! Back to feeling like the little guys against the big guys and having to overcome incredible odds. It is a fine line between creating dramatic storytelling and setting things up so the good guys always win. Even though we know the good guys eventually win, this trailer feels like Rogue One will get to the heart of the sacrifices and grittiness of war, albeit a fictional war, it nonetheless draws out some emotion. Can’t wait. And I love the K-2SO is as imposing as Chewbacca and as logical as Threepio.
Yeah when you see those X-wings it’s the first time I felt like it’s all risky again… and not just some near invincible attack run.
That’s one of the things I’m looking forward to on this movie – yes, we know big-picture that the good guys win, but story-wise, we have no reason to think any of this group are making it out of this movie alive. Right out of the gate that’s some potentially exciting storytelling.
Anyone know what event in the Olympics it happened in.
Swimming
Swimming I believe.
Swimming I believe.
Swimming. A tie between Canada and America for women. It happened right after… I believe. The real world grows vague to me at the moment 😛
Good deal. Thanks!
looking at the destruction at 1:38ish in the trailer, I’m thinking that the Death Star blasts the planet just as the rebels are escaping and it looks like they go into hyperspace inside the planet’s gravity to escape the destruction. Of course trailers are usually deliberately misleading. But I guess they’re not going to want to have a big ol death star in the movie without it blasting something. Great trailer, even better than the 1st. Hyped for this movie even more, if it was possible.
I got that same impression too
Jedha will be destroyed? It seems like so…
It might make sense, because a full blast would destroy it in an instant, and Tarkin does say, “I think it is time we demonstrate
the full power of this station.”
So it is probably just a test of the system, not a full power demonstration.
I had just the same thought. Beta testing the Death Star!
Either that, or Geonosis being “sterilized” before the Death Star moves to Scarif.
I think another big benefit here… and yeah it still has some ties it must make… is the freedom this movie has. As Mr.Crankypants said… it brings back the excitement knowing all of them could be in real danger.
It is plausible they all die in the end. Other then Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, none of them exist after Episode IV or at least have been referred to.
So the droid is basically the HK droid from KOTOR except…not. :shrug: Okay.
Nah… HK had a bit of sarcasm to him. This guy really just doesn’t have a filter. A matter of fact attitude if you will.
Seemed a little Proxy-ish to me!
I’m just going off of how the actor described his manner. HK kind of dragged out his lines and relished a few things.
Plus HK was a flat out true psychopath with no empathy or concern for anyone but himself. This droid sounds fiercely loyal.
Darth Vader’s theme permeates this awesome trailer, as it should. If they lean on it a lot in Rogue One, they’ll be doing exactly the right thing. Don’t screw this up, Desplat. You are in sacred Williams territory.
Also…holy shit, that shot of the Star Destroyer emerging from the shadow of the Death Star, Destroyers in atmosphere…it’s ISD porn!!!!!!!
RIGHT!? The closer shot of the ISD was so sexy…
That was fraking incredible. Just….omg, freaking amazing
…
If I get arrested tonight for screaming like a psychopath when seeing Vader, well, I guess I’ll see ya’ll in a couple of days after my arraignment, or somebody come rescue me in the detention area
Police call you and you’re all like… We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you? 😉
This trailer is so amazing, nobody will even remember Vader was in it.
That might be the best aspect. Definitely!
Huh, see I felt that shot might have been the only teeny-tiny misstep in the trailer – they had a chance to reveal Vader’s return to the screen and chose a kinda ‘meh’ shot to do it with.
Should have gone with the epic floor reflection!
Wish I could have seen it, sounds perfect 🙂
That’s what I mean though, that his reveal wasn’t close to as good as the rest, because the rest was fraking amazing!
Oh, sorry, I read that as you saying that shot WAS the best aspect for you – my mistake. Yeah, it’s kind of a muddled composition.
Well, we fans who have been following all the news and rumors know that Vader will be in it, but the general movie-going audience won’t.
Plus, having Vader in it is among the bits in the trailer that help situate it in the timeline, which is another thing general audiences will be confused about.
I was really hoping to see at least one shot of Kirk in this.
He’s in Star Trek. Different franchise. 😉
But isn’t the Benedict Cumberbatch as John Watson at 1:12?
Oh good grief
It was a joke. Hence the smiley, Charlie Brown!
Looks awesome! Forest, Felicity, Riz, Ben and the rest all look like they’ve grown up in this battle-scarred universe, the images are striking, and that ominous siren still gives me the chills. Love the image of the Star Destroyer coming out of the darkness and those shots of the Death Star looming over the planet (Jedha?) — wow! Nice job, Gareth! Can’t wait!
Every single thing about that trailer was perfect. To see that up-close look at an original TIE fighter that was *perfectly* rendered. Looked just like an original kit-bashed model. This is so over-the-top great, and only 4 months away!
Is it just me or did the hyperspace jump effects look bad?
Just you it seems. They look just like they did in the old movies but in better resolution.
Wow! Is all I can say, every shot looks fantastic, breathtaking. It looks like a really good mix between serious and fun.
Same here!
“He means well.”
LMAO! Awesome!
Love the look on (Bohdi’s?) face in response.
Yes, me too. I love the look of this film, but the acting has been a bit worrying from the tiny bit we’ve seen. It’s nice to see a bit of subtle acting like in the scene with Bodhi. It makes the characters feel more human and believable.
Jyn Urso vs TIE Fighter. Who will win?
I guess… a….
TIE
BOOO!!!
This is like the third time it’s been said so I figured I’d throw em a bone 😛
Although to be honest… that scene has the classic vibe of a rescue… not an enemy hell bent on killing her.
Bravo!
lol… good one 😛
If it’s my Granddaddy Vader then Jyn is as good as burnt toast.
3 Words: Death Star Eclipse. I’m sold.
Inverted Death Star…so many awesome new ways they’ve found to use that plain ball visually.
They don’t look similar but there is something about the eclipse shot that gives me the same feeling as the shot in Godzilla of the crew jumping from the plane and falling to Earth if anyone recalls that. The man knows how to stage an epic shot.
I agree. There was a lot of Gareth Edwards’ sense of wonder in those shots. Hopefully, Disney and Lucasfilm will respect the personal vision of a minor director, just as they respected Abrams’. Which is good.
I love a lot of the VFX / ISD emerging from darkness = holy cow, but I found most of the dialogue very boring, especially Donnie Yen. Anyone else worried about the dialogue?
I literally gasped when I saw Vader, but that shot should have been longer.
I found it better than… “I rebel.” 😛
Personally, I loved that line. YMMV…
So far it does feel pretty wooden – a bit like the dialogue in the prequels…. “This is a serious movie. Put on your serious voices.” There should always be some fun in Star Wars, even in the most dangerous situations…
K-2SO already has 2 lines that eclipse anything that was allegedly ‘funny’ in the prequels, and thats in a 100 second trailer.
True. Don’t get me wrong – I am totally psyched about this film.
Me too… it could be that they are just saving the best dialogue for later. If it’s Godzilla-esque I’d still be pretty stoked but would prefer for the film to be as good as it can be.
I guess just in comparison to the TFA trailers… hearing Han talk about the Jedi… & Luke’s dialogue over teaser 2… chills. Chill-fest.
Felicty is the only one who sounds a bit off to me. I hated the whole “I rebel” line from last trailer. But other than that they all seem fine to me. Hearing Saw talk about imperial flags and the world falling apart hit pretty hard for me. Totally Psyched!
Same here… well actually I didn’t mind the “I rebel” line so much, I mean I don’t like the line but I thought she delivered it ok.
Yes… Saw was the highlight for me as well, Forest did a fantastic job!
I liked the “I rebel” line 😛
I’m still a little uncertain about Chirrut but this trailer started to bring me around some. I liked hearing him mention the Force.
The Death Star in orbit/Death Star eclipsing the moon bits were the best. I wonder if that part is what Gareth Edwards was asking Neil Degrasse Tyson about last year.
Yeah I definitely got the feeling this movie has a much better idea of what space is than TFA
Anyone else wonder if we will see Dantooine? Felicity’ acting seems wooden, other than that-storming trailer
Yeah – I hope we see some humor and nuance out of her, or at least some range…
i really hope she isn’t the natalie portman of this film.
Nah, her lines in the teaser and featurette may have been a bit cheesy, but they were still better than Portman’s deadpan delivery in Phantom Menace. (I don’t fault Portman, but Lucas for creating a bland, unbelievable character there.) And the dialogue seems a lot tighter in this trailer, even if they gave only short snippets.
and thats the thing, i know felicity jones can act, just like with natalie portman, i just don’t want her to sunk by “cheesy” dialogue or weird deliveries like natalie did.
I don’t know, man; Portman’s delivery is the same in everything I’ve ever seen her in. Stilted, and clueless sounding like she learned her lines phonetically.
I have to ask, why are people getting excited over seeing Vader? im sorry but we have seen him before… its nothing new… Rest of the trailer though blew me away 10/10
It’s just exciting to see him again. And hopefully in something better than RotS.
1) K-2 is already shaping up to be a great character. Similar to our good friend HK-47, but there is a different feel to him.
2) EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!
3) It would have been nice to get a slight better glimpse at Vader, but I can’t complain.
I can’t wait for this!!!!!!!
More plain Tie Fighters, grey Imperial ships, and X-wings blasting Stormtroopers into the air. Yawn.
so basically, star wars?
No.
What is it then?
The Death Star eclipse was breathtaking. Great trailer. ^_^
In the stormtrooper tank shot, what’s up with the guy at the left who appears to have no head?
Headless mcnohead
So the rebels tells Jyn that her father is being held by the empire and she joins the rebellion. Then Jyn, Cassian and K2 fly to Jedha to find Saw and in the process Baze and Chirrut joins in. Jedha is destroyed and the group of rebels go into Scarif? What do you think?
I was thinking maybe they steal the plans and stop Jedha from being destroyed, they do win their first victory, read the opening crawl of ANH
I think it’s more Jyn being on herself since she was little, thinking her parents are gone. At one point she is captured by the rebels, but gets to redeem herself by taking on the mission. While learning more about the Death Star, she discovers that her father is still alive and may be more connected to the whole secret weapon.
Anyhoo, that’s my two cents.
Wow. Visually it’s stunning.
I do find some of the acting/dialogue a little bit stiff, specially Donnie Yeng’s.
Death Star Eclipse: yeah!
Darth Vader: double yeah!
All battle scenes look really good. I liked this trailer much more than the teaser, it’s more intense, it has more open shots showing new worlds, it has K2-SO dropping a couple of fun lines, all major characters are shown.
I liked it a lot. I wasn’t feeling the thrill of a new Star Wars film coming this year, but now I do.
Everyone’s an acting critic.
the blend of the aesthetics between the prequels and the originals is amazing- this movie is gonna knock our socks off.
Awesome trailer but I was more impressed by the BTS from Celebration for some reason
The part where they quickly show a lot of character close-ups accompanied by those drums, yeah that gets the blood pumping!
I liked the drumbeats. But I have a couple versions of that trailer but you can’t see the details well.
Just great. I really appreciate that the trailer shows we can have drama, emotion AND levity — as a Star Wars movie should. K-2SO is going to be amazing.
So many little things. Krennic’s 70s hair! K-2 freaking Bodhi out. Jyn and the TIE fighter. The ISD hanging over Jedha.
Epic! Everything and every character looks amazing!
One line stood out though as confusing. Saw Garrera said, ‘The World Is Coming Undone.’
There is more than one world in the Star Wars universe; not one world like Earth in our Galaxy. In this context, it sounds like he’s only lived on one world. But in the next line he says, ‘Imperial Flags Reign Throughout The Galaxy.’
Shouldn’t the line say, ‘The Galaxy is coming Undone. Imperial Flags Reign Everywhere!’
I’m sure it will be clearer in the movie but I thought that was weird…..
“World” doesn’t just mean ‘planet’. When you talk about the ‘art world’ or the ‘world of politics’, “world” means something a very general situation or milieu.
I disagree. When we say, for instance, ‘there is so much poverty in the World’ we’re referring to Earth, not the Milky Way Galaxy!
Yeah, I’m not denying that “world” sometimes means ‘planet’, only that it doesn’t always…
We are not traveling from planet to planet either, like they do in the SW Universe.
I noticed the same thing but I wonder if the two lines are actually disconnected pieces of dialogue.
That’s possible! Like I said, perhaps it will be clearer what he means by ‘the world’ when we actually see the movie. I suppose I’m being to OCD…..
Good observation re: Saw’s statement. The reason it could potentially make sense is that Saw is specifically leading the Rebel uprising on Jedha. So he may just be referencing that specific situation…
Looks great. But why do they always have to make the Asian guy a martial arts exper? Talk about a tired stereotype. This is not earth, it’s in a galaxy far, far away…
There’s another Asian guy who is a heavy weapons guy, so that wouldn’t be much of a trouble at all.
And the pilot.
He’s a Muslim actor but OK.
What does his religion have to do with anything…?
Nothing at all, just an observation of diversity.
Muslim is not a race/ethnicity but OK.
He’s actually British since he was born in England. His parents are from Pakistan….
Well, British-Pakistani then.
Pakistanis are Asian…..
Funny how people don’t realize just how big ASIA is lol. Geography people, read a book. Guess what Russians are Asian too?!? Weird.
STILL!
Not really. They are oriental from middle-eastern.
I’ve turkish friend. i would never say him is asian lol
Muslim is not a race. You know that, right?
I was very confused in what to say, so forgive me please…
its because donnie yen is martial artist in real life. thats why they cast him, not because he’s asian.
There are at least 3 Asian guys in this movie.
Only one is a martial arts expert because the actual actor playing him is a martial arts expert….
Why are the English always the evil Imperial officers? Why isn’t there different races amongst the Imperials at all? Does it really matter?
Aren’t Jedi martial artists?
They’re basically samurai.
Was just thinking how much cooler this would’ve been had Abrams and Kasdan not blown their wad and given us a ridiculous super weapon in Force Awakens. Not only did they do that, but it looked more like the Death Star than the original effing Death Stars! Count along with me then, we get the Death Star in Star Wars, Jedi, Force Awakens, and now Rogue One. Had we not seen it in Force Awakens, seeing it in Rogue One would’ve seemed refreshing and nostalgic. Now it comes across as tired. Hate it when artists steal their own thunder.
This is about the original Deathstar from A New Hope. It’s not a new Super weapon! It’s a prequel to A New Hope and how the Deathstar plans were stolen. How do you not get that yet?
He does, he’s saying its a pity a super weapon like the Death Star was used in TFA and I agree with him.
He does get it. He’s just saying the whole Death Star/Superweapon theme is tired now, and if it had not been used in TFA (again), it wouldn’t seem so as much.
Personally, I’m just going to forget TFA until VIII comes out and will enjoy Rouge One for all it’s worth. As ANH is my favorite of all the movies, this is going to be great for me.
I loved TFA. Many others did as well and a few didn’t. There’s always someone complaining.
Disappointing. underwhelming.
if i had a nickel every time a girl told me that…
You’d have zero nickels?… lol, jk
But you shouldn’t be rich off that. It kinda means you slept with too many imo.
Your opinion sucks. On both counts.
cool story, bro.
Not really. Just a statement, “Bro”.
Seriously?
Yes.
Then you disappoint many of us as well for not having enough energy for it.
There will always be those people. Always.
What people? Non-Fanboys? Stop group thinking.
I’m just saying if SW was made exactly to you liking, there would always be some people not liking it somewhere and on this boards.
lol just because your opinion is different doesn’t mean we’re all “group thinking.” Maybe we just liked it!
The title of your forthcoming autobiography?
No. I was talking about the trailer.
I completely agree with you, it was like a remake of the first trailer. Same lines etc. We learned nothing new, other than Vader thrown in at the end with a lame shot (which we knew about already too).
I was blown away by the first trailer, but now I’m worried that all the good stuff is in the trailer and there is nothing good left in the movie.
I’m usually very defensive, but I’m sadly underwhelmed also this time.
i disagree, and i prefer to see the glass half full and thinks it’s not to spoil the movie too much.
Spoiler: They are on a mission to steal the DS plans.
What else do you need to know? The sequence of events? Whole character biographies? Who dies? Who lives? What the Empire is? Who the Rebels are? How many people live on each world?
But we were told all that in the first trailer. This trailer did nothing for the casual fan in explaining the plot. The first was far more helpful than this one for that, but those fans wouldn’t have been as exposed as this one.
I’m not asking for loads of spoilers, as I felt TFA maybe gave a little too much away in the end, but Some of the scenes here made no sense.
They were war scenes.
Looks great! I feel like I did when the “Chewie, we’re home!” trailer came out. The only problem was that trailer by iteself ended up being more inspiring than TFA in its entirety. Keeping my fingers crossed for Rouge One, impressed so far.
Rouge, as in Moulin Rouge?
Oops! Thanks for the heads up…
This looks so much better then the ANH remake we got last year…
Nope.
It does. Here’s hoping it IS better.
Trailers are designed to make ya think that. I think it’ll be better simply cause it’s mostly new characters and sides of the original trilogy. Disney will go out of their way as much as humanly possible to make it feel like what it is, a new hope prequel lol. It’ll be good, but so was TFA.
They just wanted to get Star Wars PT haters and all the rest of the world who’s never really been into Star Wars,into it easily with TFA. The feelings and familiarities of Episode 4 asside, I love every scene, the story, and direction of TFA.
You haven’t really idea of what movie did you see last year of you say so stupid thing.
I am sorry for you. You never will be able to enjoy a sw movie. No TFA, no this.
The only upsetting thing about this trailer is that it’s already making me wish there were more movie for these characters! We need a rogue one trilogy!
rest assured – if this makes anything near 1bil$ at the box-office your guaranteed some form a sequel – Granted we still don’t know if any or who survives the movie. But those who do – will definitely appear in another spin off down the line – if this is as big a hit as the hype will have it 😛
We’ll need them back (for those that survive) to help steal the plans to the second Death Star.
And THEN they’ll die – and mon mothma’s haunting look in JEDI as she says . Many Bothans died – bringing us this information – will mean so much more as we know they are talking about Jyn 😛
Ah, but only the Bothans died. The Rogue One survivors are prised out of retirement for one final suicide mission [impossible] to steal the plans to Starkiller base (and thus completing the Rogue One trilogy).
What if Bothan was a Star Wars word for spy all along and not a race of aliens like we believed from Legends. 😉
It would indeed.
Bothans need to feature in a forthcoming movie, whether that’s a saga or a spin-off. Too many unanswered questions.
Kennedy must answer.
I’ve only watched this trailer around 40 times now. I guess I can say it’s pretty dang amazing
I went into this skeptical (as I did with the first trailer) and I came out gibbering and wanting to marry it. Favorite shot after one single viewing: Jyn Erso vs TIE fighter, awesome.
I really don’t understand people who say “MUCH better than TFA”. When TFA trailers came out you cannot stop jizzing in your pants, because those trailers were really really good. Now, this trailer has the same impact, but hey: you could be disappointed by the movie as well, when it finally will come out.
Anyway, to me, Rogue One looks pretty good, and this trailer definitely conquered me. Love the wide shots, the attention paid to the environment, the practical explosions and the CGI. Seems all perfect. Alongside TFA, I think this has huge opportunities to be the second hit in one year. Thanks Lucasfilm.
Very right… people is very silly. Woooaw… the next great hypercool thing! they haven’t true perspective of anything.
well… since SW fans started to consider TFA a “bad movie”, and the prequels “all good”, just because yes, someone has to complain about something, I’ve lost every hope about the fandom.
But they are not supposed to be true fans of it. Retain your view of the fandom as it’s supposed to be.
THANK YOU DISNEY FOR THE *FIRST* AMAZING
STAR WARS PREQUEL !!!!!!!! This is literally EXACTLY what I wanted from the Prequels all those years ago. So much more REALISTIC & GRITTY !
Yeh it looks good, hard to deduce anything really from one trailer. One thing, I don’t buy is FJ as a survivor/fighter/killer. The movie needed a sigourney weaver or Linda Hamilton type of actor imo.
I kind of wonder how bad ass the role of Jyn Erso would be if it was played buy Michelle Rodriguez. I am with you in having a hard time buying Felicity Jones as a tough street kid. I will have to see the movie and hope that FJ performance wins me over.
I think there is only so much acting sombody can do, maybe it is inevitable that there own character and life experience will surface in every role. I like Michael Biehn in Terminator and Aliens, really i think he is the same guy in both films.I dont know who he is back in civilian life but i bet hes seen some shit. I think good casting is Key, then let the actors run with it. For Jyn Erso MR is better definately. I would have cast Yusra Mardini the Syrian refugee/ olympic swimmer. I think she could become that character even if she doesnt know anything about acting.
I think the death star will be tested on Jedha
1: The DS is above Jedha
2: The mayor wapon’s test is imminent
3: Jedha looks like a good target (only a small moon, and spiritual home so the empire surely doesn’t like is)
4: At around 1:38 the rebel U-wing flies in front of what seems to be a storm, but I think it’s not a storm but the effect of the death star laser, which is not fully functional, so the whole planet won’t be destroyed, only part of it.
Imma say this:
1. The Force Awakens is an amazing movie, people NEED to get out of their own ass, is the biggest selling movie of all time in the USA and second in the world, its an ENJOYABLE AMAZING movie. It may not be the best movie ever, but darn it its good as shit. you cry enjoy and flabergast to it, ITS A GOOD MOVIE.
2. This movie will probably be better, but wait, isnt that the point? yes it IS… although is not VIIII im sure it will blow the shit of out minds away, and THATS the point, Disney is tangling us in,
3. VIII is probably gonna top this two movies by ALOT, Rian Johnson is NOT JJ ergo he makes alot better films at every level even at a story telling level, maybe jj is better at some things but as a whole Rian out does him and VIII will be the tipping point in the whole saga and i mean the whole shibang, if VIII fail everything goes down VIII is the avengers of Lucasfilm this is just the Thor of it, TFA was iron man. Brace because its just starting and these people know what they are doing
4. Rouge One WILL open up doors to alot of star wars stories , and i believe that will be good, the footage in this trailer is unprecedented
I’m going to reply just like this: TFA was a brilliant movie; R1 seems brilliant as well. As a Star Wars fan, having two brilliant SW movies in ONE YEAR is enough 🙂
I agree with you.
Same here!
Imma say this:
1. Many people enjoyed The Force Awakens. A small minority of those people who have wrapped way too much of their own self worth up in NEEDING the world to agree with them about a movie need to learn to accept that it is entirely possible to not have agreed about the movie and still hold an equally valid opinion. It is ALSO possible to hold opinions that would seem to run counter to BO results, and the corollary is that “ROTTIN TOMATOWS GAVE IT 200%!!!!” does not make any piece of art immune from critical analysis, nor does it make your opinion any more right or wrong. “Crawl out of their own asses” indeed, the irony is thick.
2. This is pretty much just wishful thinking at the moment. I’m glad you’re enthusiastic, it’s fun to be excited for movies, but no, no it does not mean any of those things. A whole bunch of us learned that the hard way in 1999 let me tell you.
3. Rian Johnson doesn’t really have a huge resume as a director. He has a couple of okay small films under his belt, an a pretty good medium sized film. On the one hand, he appears to have some good instincts, but on the other, he has never had a film as big as a Star Wars to try and ringmaster. Besides just the scale of the thing, it seems doubtful that he will have the kind of creative freedom he has had in the past, and it remains to be seen what he can do with it. We’ll know next year and not before.
4. It will if it lands reasonably well – it seems Disney wants these films to fill in the revenue stream for SW on non episode years, so it doesn’t even need to be a runaway success I don’t think, just as long as it doesn’t get panned and doesn’t actually loose money. If it augers in however (hi, Ghostbusters!), it might conceivably convince Disney to have LFL put the spin offs on hold after Han Solo, at least until the smoke clears and they figure out what went wrong. The footage in the trailer IS very encouraging, absolutely agree, but again, “Godzilla ’99, Suicide Squad and a whole bunch of other movies that cut down to great 2 minute trailers say hi”.
Dammit! They introduce Jedha and destroy it immediately?
I was wondering if visceral’s star wars game could take place on Jedha, they only showed a few pictures from the game but it really looks like jedha

And look! There’s Imperial flags that have gone up all over the place! You is definitely onto something.
Amazing. Stayed true to Lucas’s prequel vision while mixing in its own originality. I just saw, and felt it. Love the music.. Star Wars is magic.. and this hooked me like usual. Lets all enjoy as fans. We all being spoiled in a way that was totally unexpected just two years ago. Star Wars for life, How spoiled are the die hard fans of this franchise?
Looks NOTHING like George’s Prequels LOL
I said the vision. What Lucas wanted the OT to look like. I feel like they found THAT balance that he intended for. CG wise. Thats my point. Im not saying it looks like the prequels
At almost 2:05 mins, surely this must be the full trailer? It says trailer (official), rather than teaser trailer.
Looks really good though. The Scarif scenes really impressed me, very Battlefront which I was hoping to see.
Seeing Vader didn’t have the emotional pull that the “Chewie, we’re home” had for me, but that’s no issue as he’s not central to the story.
Looks a really solid movie.
‘Very Battlefront’? So you view you this movie as an cinematic equivalent of a video game? Pretty sad..
No, my comment was in relation to the action scenes that look extremely well done.
Now jog the fuck along.
he’s a complete troll. Looks all his comments above.
I see that.
Grow a brain.
The saddest thing about this post, is your comments. Very petulant.
Thanks for dignifying my ‘petulant’ comments!!
You’re wonderful.
So I’m critical of the movie and that makes me a troll! Sorry to hurt your man-child feelings.
you re not a troll only for negative unfair critics, but also for how much you post in short time. and FYI i enjoy strong and intellectual movies as much as SW.
Lol. And what is YOUR excuse for posting in a short time? Huh? Lol.
well, go bring me a coffee now, useless.
Thanks for making my point.
You handled that very well! Lol.
Extremely well done like a video game?! Lol.
I really like your username. Very creative.
Ooh.. that hurt!
Do you have a matching tattoo?
In french it gaves that : “Anakin, i ve never been so sad.”
idk maybe dubbing makes appear dialogs less cheesy and bland.
I’ve heard that too, in different languages the dialogue and delivery of it makes it better.
Here in BC it was dubbed as “Anakin, you’re harshing my buzz!”.
Looks great. Anyone else get a prequel vibe from the CGI and lighting at 36 seconds when the U-Wing is taking off?
Yep. Good thing they’ve got 4 months to fix the CGI.
Jeez, it isn’t like the prequels aren’t over 10 years old or something..
I’m in love.
Maybe it’s just me but Cassian has really a fell of Kyle Katarn. Even more in the cockpit scene with Jyn when they say “Ok”.
Yeah, I got that feeling too except now he’s Mexican and has an accent.
yes indeed. i ve seen the trailer in dubbed version so his accent his neutral for me. i really want to learn more about Cassian Andor. And maybe through the movie he will find is sensitive to the Force.
This is how I feel about this movie… and I quote ” I fear nothing, everything is as the Force wills it…” – Chirrut Imwe ( Donnie Yen )
Lame.
Troll spotted, too late.
Right..
Okay. So you clearly won’t like this movie. Can you go away then? Why waste your time here?
I can almost believe they put that line in the trailer as a message to people freaking out over rumors the movie is in trouble.
You’d think they’d improve on the dialogue and acting after all these years… nothing but cliches..
It’s Star Wars, what did you expect, something on 2001 level?
Oh, so it is too much to ask for decent, cliche-free dialogue and convincing acting?!
It’s part of the charm man, corniness is not that bad when used right.
you must be real fun at home :p
Grand Canyon planet!
At least there is no lighsabers…
you see 2 mins of movie. a,d there is Vader so yes there will be lightsaber.
This movie has a 98.6 percent chance of being mediocre.
A cinematic equivalent of a Battlefront video game… Pretty sad. I remember when Star Wars actually meant something.. all those years ago.
The comment too much
Since 2015 it means something again. There was a huge gap from 1983-2015, but luckily those dark years are over…
Another ‘Suicide Squad’?
Troll alert here!
Looks like some feelings were hurt.. Man up.
Quiet.
Sorry.
Like TFA trailers, every shot seems perfect but in a darker, gritty, brown, opressive way. Absolutely love the pallette of colours.
There are anthological shots here: The cruiser over the city, Yavin base, the ship (u-wing?) through those cloudy mountains, the ship (x-wing?) through rock environment, the robot, the DS over the planet (sick), the eclipse, all the imperial generals together, the light speed shot from above, the Tie Fighter,…
Those images makes me pee every time. Is what i love from Star Wars. This kind of shots takes me in another world in a sec. And the best part this is just the beginning.
‘Darker, gritty, brown..’ as in ugly? Pretty much so. But all in all, even at that, it’s better looking than TFA.
Looks great! Wooo!
Jeez, you delicate snowflakes want this to be a ‘safe space’ from alternate view points. Man up and accept not everyone agrees with you.
Ok I watched it a few times… first time, I will be honest, I wasnt impressed. Thought it was good but didnt blow me away like TFA trailer… but I watched it several times and each time I got it. Its going to be a hard thing for a lot of us to take. No Han, Luke, Chewie or even R2… its going to be a new story with (relatively) new people. With each viewing I grew more and more excited because I can let go of my childhood characters and follow new ones. Its ok. Its ok to let it go and watch others fight the Empire…
Oh and by the way… First Order has NOTHING on the original Empire. I think that is another thing that started to sell me is that this is the Empire. THE Empire. The one that for three movies struck fear in everybody.
So Im excited now… maybe not on the same level as Episode 8…but Im excited. My childhood can wait one more year, this is more like a bed time story… just my opinion
“Rogue One: A Star Wars Bedtime Story”
I like that.
just a thought…but..it is unlikely a planet is destroyed via the Death Star in R1 given ANH leads us to believe that Alderaan is the first planet to be destroyed:
“This battle station is now fully operational. I suggest we use it.”
Obi-Wan’s reaction
etc..
Perhaps in R1 the plans are not only stolen, but the rebellion manages to delay the successful test. couple of shots of what look like a ruined planet area- perhaps a partial test.
would be cool if there was a ‘successful’ mission that delayed the DS progress, saving the destruction for ANH.
I’m happy now 🙂
