    No Poster for DATHR VADER? The most recognizable movie villain on Planet Earth and the most marketable character in this film. K.

      He’s not a major character in the film, nor was he ever meant to be.

      Besides, we’ve still got two months…they’ve got to keep something close to the chest to release as the film draws nearer. 😉

        If he’s not a major character, that is a major mistake. Krennic looks great, as do the other newbies, but Darth carries the emotional-equity that can make this a MEGA hit.

          That would place entirely too much reliance on nostalgia, doing that with Vader. But jut having Vader in this in even a limited fashion is all that’s needed. Besides, his grand entrance is basically 10 minutes after this film ends, and ANH begins…and we’ve long known for a fact that Vader isn’t a focus of this film, a film whos outcome is already largely too well known. We only need a little peppering of Vader, but I’m willing to bet that what scenes he does have will be the sort that will be memorable.

          While I believe he’ll eventually get his own poster, a marketing push for him specifically would be a mistake, vis-a-vis Captain Phasma.

            Darth Vader is essential and will sell more tickets than Krennic every will. Nostalgia is the lifeblood of Star Wars and why the Franchise is succeeding after a largely dormant decade after the NON-nostalgic disasters known as the Prequels.

            Wrong. New characters and new stories are what will keep Star Wars going, not nostalgia. If you only play on nostalgia, it becomes stagnant.

            Both are absolutely necessary. TFA would have been a “hit” no matter who was in it — but by including the OT characters it was the highest grossing SW film of all time. New stuff is fluffy and great, but not enough to break the record books.

            Both are needed, but you can’t rely on one at the expense of the other. What TFA did at the box office was unprecedented and will not happen again, even with nostalgia.

            (And remember what is still the king at the box office: Avatar, which has no basis in nostalgia)

            I like both. I like fluffy new characters like Rey and Finn, but those characters would not “mean much” if they weren’t also flanked by the “franchise players” Han, Chewie, and Luke (come Ep 8)

            I don’t want brand, all new. I want both. As most probably do if they really admit it.

            That’s what George did with the Prequels. Didn’t work so great 😉 The key is to tell a good story and keep the fans’ perspective / needs in mind as well. A great CHEF doesn’t just cook whatever he wants and expect his guests to eat it — he experiments, he takes risks, but he also keeps the palate of his guests in mind.

            No, that’s not why the prequels were bad. MOST people ignore fans when they make their stories. It was many factors, none of which need repeating here.

            You don’t give people the story they want, you give them the story they didn’t know they could imagine or need. but not alienating them.

            George needed more people to collaborate with and he would have seen the flaws. He did it solo and suffered.

            Disney said they are making the new films for the fans. That’s precisely what they told George when he presented his horrendous scripts for a Teenage-Cast-Sequel-Trilogy. I applaud and adore Disney for that remark and decision.

            Did Disney say that or did George? I remember that being a quote from him about Disney, but hiding Luke for the entire movie is not something any fan wanted. But it worked. See my point? You can do both.

            George said that in his interview about selling to Disney. Its on YouTube. But yes I agree unpredictability in the story telling is exciting — I just want certain ingredients to be included & emphasized. Pretty much ANY Star Wars film will be a hit due to “the brand” — but the inclusion of OT-characters / iconography can blow up a box office like a thermonuclear detonator.

            Which is why Vader is in the trailer and X-wings and such. But they don’t want to overdo it if he has a small role. Vader is best in small doses.

            Nope. More Vader is always better. He’s like butter and, quite frankly, the sole reason the “casual viewer” will even go see this.

            If you say so. There is a reason he works so well in the OT and it’s not because he has tons of screen time.

            And as you said earlier, just being Star Wars means people will go see it.

            George was/is very keen that original and creative stories be told. That’s why in creating a massive franchise and studio he has often said that he had himself turned to the Dark Side.

            Once you start pandering to the fandom in a heavy way your creativity is compromised IMO.

            I can’t totally agree – GL didn’t need to cover the political side to the depth he did, but its the story he wanted to tell. Same with his use of CGI, it was complained about once the craziness of the fans calmed down from TPM, but he still continued because he wanted to break new ground in visual effects.

            You can cover the political side and make it interesting. He didn’t always do that.

            CGI is merely a tool and if used properly in service to the story, helps a movie. The movie had a poor foundation, so the CGI stood out as a negative.

            I think part of the problem in terms of the politics in the prequels is that never used his to really dramatized their characters based on how they think and feel. Having two characters sitting down in a meadow in an unimaginative way how one supports a particular agenda is telling, not showung how they feel. George may have had some interesting ideas, but he’s no Kubrick.

            How about those of us who want something in between?

            I would like something more creative than the Disney output so far. I don’t want something that feels so disconnection it feels orphaned from the rest of the franchise, as the prequels do at times.

            Is that too much to ask?

            Avatar was basically in theaters for an entire YEAR in international markets because of the “3D Gimmick” — yes Avatar did great but represents a theatrical fluke — and is not a film that is relevant at all in today’s pop/millenial-culture.

            You’re joking right? Nostalgia played a huge part in making TFA the success it was, which when combined with interesting new characters is a great recipe.

            No, I am not joking. Anyone with half a brain would tell you. You can only rely on nostalgia for so long before that well runs dry. The FUTURE of Star Wars depends on new characters and new stories. It’s why Rey and Finn and Poe and BB and Kylo are so key to the future success.

            TFA was built on nostalgia. Episode 8 will rely on the new characters to pave the way.

            I think the problem is that there is a dichotomy between what sells tickets and what SW was intended to be. the OT is now so iconic that the thirty and fortysomethings of today that grew up with it just want things that evoke the OT for the most part. I have to say I find it all very disappointing as George wanted the saga to be about creativity first and foremost and the direction of TFA and the spin off movies so far are lacking in this regard. They’re very much playing it safe and playing on the nostalgia of the demographic in question.

            But here’s the thing. That demographic is aging and in a decade or so, assuming people aren’t sick of SW uber-content, the nostalgia probably won’t work as a draw anymore, and that’s when perhaps we’ll see a return to more creative efforts.

            first of all, we’ve seen one movie so far so its a little early in game to say they’re exclusively catering to us old timers. further, rogue one, while in the OT timeline, looks very different style and tone wise. finally, george wanted the saga to be about selling the most merchandise and wasn’t above playing on nostalgia to do so.

          • October 18, 2016 at 3:20 am

            I didn’t say “so far”.. You must not have noticed that.

            I don’t think we need to see Rogue One for it not to be apparent it draws heavily on the OT and not the prequels, despite being only a handful of years after Episode III. The OT pandering in TFA was obvious. Then we have a Han Solo spin off. What we don’t have yet is something truly creative or something that has the look and feel of the prequels. Pretty much speaks for itself. So I really don’t think it is an unreasonable to draw the conclusion that nostalgia for the OT has played a huge part in Disney’s approach so far. Quite simply they have taken a business decision that catering for what the fans want, rather than the story George wanted to tell, was the faster way to big bucks and less negativity. So far it has worked.

            And?

            Doesn’t mean that by the time we got around to it Episode 7 or other spin offs would have been so slavish to the OT if George was still running the show, or that his Han Solo project would resemble the likely output from DIsney. In fact, give that the Han Solo film will likely be set shortly after Episode III you can imagine that George’s version woyuld be prequel influenced. Do you honestly expect that to be the case with the DIsney version given the way the way the prequels are regarded? You might as well argue that the prequels were too slavish to the OT because they had Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda, Palpatine, Chewie and the droids.

            as opposed to lucas’ pandering by forcing in a young boba fett, a death star under construction, vader already in his armor, forcing in chewie, luke and leia born and where they would be in ANH and the droids where they would be in ANH. pretending that lucas wasn’t already up to his ears in fan service is naive. like it or not, but this cycle of rehashes was his brain child, not disney’s.

            “Nostalgia is the lifeblood of Star Wars”

            This is so wrong. Granted, it is what has been shown to sell tickets. Bit this not what George Lucas ever intended it to be. He always wanted the core element of Star Wars to be creativity. A blank slate where anything could be created. That’s very much why his review of TFA is, how shall we say, very diplomatic.

            No. Absolutely correct. “Enforcer” or not, if he were a major part of this film, there would be the real risk that he would overshadow Krennic and all the other Imperials. Who cares about these new guys when Vader is on the screen?

            big difference between major part and important part. one of the chief complaints of marvel solo films are where are the other avengers when this major crisis is happening. if vader doesn’t show up when a problem is happening with the death star then it would feel weird. besides, he and the emperor are the looming threat not just to the rebels but to the imperial brass. vader showing up to put the fear of god into them once in a while is important.

            I would also like to add that in ANH, Vader did mention to commander what’s his face that there would be no one to stop them this time. Perhaps Vader was there to oversee the completion of the Death Star and through a series of unfortunate events involving some Rebel scum, he personally becomes involved with trying to retrieve them. Maybe someone from the inside like say Mads Mikkleson’s gives them the access to the plans, hence the retcon for the line in ANH?

            how all the politics of vader, tarkin, krennic and the construction of the death star plays out is one of the things i’m looking forward to the most. we’ve seen vader and tarkin dispatched by the emperor to handle the growing rebel problem, so something serious had to bring them back.

            I’m not sure what the Marvel movies have to do with any of this. And Vader can’t be everywhere at once. He’s one man. And galaxies are big places. But again, I’m not thinking about any sort of “in universe” thing. Read my earlier post.

            i only meant that in giant interconnected film universe, like marvel and star wars, you can’t help but wonder where the most powerful characters are when something major is happening. but i agree that vader can’t be everywhere and shouldn’t be overused.

          The only thing that slightly bothers me about these posters is that the characters are all human, save for the droid.

          I do appreciate that it can be argued that the line up of the OT and TFA wasn’t that different, but I think the fact that the villain is also human means that the line up doesn’t have that Vader-esque bizarre looking character of interest.

        I reckon we’ll have a cameo from someone totally unconfirmed. Perhaps a de-aged leia, or C3PO.

        So what your saying is to quote Mr. Plinkett: and since darth vader technically appeared in this movie for like two seconds that gives them an excuse to basically put him onto lunchboxes, t shirts, cracker boxes, etc.

            then why bother putting him in the final trailer three times? he’s the most marketable character in the entire franchise in a film that is still a bit a risk. no need to play it safe.

            B/c they want people to know he is in it, but they don’t want people to think he is a star or a huge part. That’s why he has no lines and is barely seen.

            Or both. This movie is going to follow the Rebels, so I highly doubt Vader has more than 15 minutes of screen time and maybe 10-15 lines.

            Luke, while absence in TFA, is the main plot of TFA. Vader isn’t in Rogue One. He’s just a villain looming in the background and his role, at best. in the movie is to kill the Rogue One team at the end of the picture in place of Krennic. I think folks really should keep in mind that this is not a saga movie.

            It has to do with mis-selling the film to the audience and then getting negative reviews and word of mouth from people feeling they had been misled.

            Remember that this is an experiment, not a Saga film.

            Why do people on here constantly pretend that the general audience is some sort of alien species totally apart from fandom?

            I’d accept that if SW was a smaller franchise. But it is a massive, iconic franchise and Vader is the most iconic villain of all time. This movie will be heavily promoted and these character posters will be used all over. Why else create them? Just so nerds online can masturbate over them? Previous movies, like the Harry Potter ones, have seen character posters used all over.

            If Vader features too heavily in the marketing it is misleading. This is a spin off, not a movie about the Skywalkers. It’s also insulting to the creators of this movie if they have to depend on Vader to sell tickets (which is why he does not feature heavily in the trailers) as they have made it very clear that this movie is not about Vader at all. If they start selling the idea to the public that Vader is a main character then that gives a false impression of what the movie is and what they can expect. Hell, the very fact that he is almost entirely the subject of this talkback shows you how big he is.

            I think folks need to take off their tinted fan specs and think for a second about the job of the marketing department for this picture. Their job is to sell it to casual fans and the general audience, not to the serious fan, will will line up come what may.

            Thats true. I guess what I was trying to say is how everyone felt “betrayed” that they weren’t given what they wanted and how they were basically misled (a misdirection which IMHO was a brilliant way to not only pull the rug under Tony Stark, a character who has up till that point always has been ahead of his enemies, but also dramatically demonstrate the political ambiguity that Aldrich Killian believed in, something that I think george failed to do with any of his characters from the PT)

      He’s probably not in it much. I know that some folks felt they were mis-sold on Episode III because Vader appeared on so many things, only to be in the film for a minute or two (in armour).

    I looked over the posters and really liked all of them. Though, I think that Saw Gerrera could have scooted his shoulder pad out of frame a bit more. I then look down into the comments and see all this no Vader stuff and honestly it didn’t even cross my mind until people brought it up. There’s so many players in this movie, lets just focus on the main ones. if Vader got a poster, I’d want Mon Mothma to get one too because she’s a heck of a big player on the rebellion side as well as a returning character

        This is true, but given how big a global brand SW and that she is a notable OT character she is still recognisable.

        Personally I think the reason we don’t have individual posters for her or Vader is because they probably have very limited screen time, however crucial their appearances.

            Perhaps, but this isn’t a Saga film. It’s not about Anakin. I think people need to keep that in mind going on, especially in view of the complaining we get a decade ago when Vader was on all the Episode III marketing, only to appear in armour for about two minutes of the actual move – and that was a film entirely about Anakin!

          I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed, but it’d just be neat to see him, if only for a couple seconds. Then again, I get why they wouldn’t include him or make Vader a focus…it’s about new unknown characters…which I also dig quite a bit. Besides, we get Saw back into the fold from Clone Wars. I’d like to see his journey bookended by maybe getting killed by Vader. It would be poetic, seeing as how Anakin trained him to be a better rebel.

    I see that Disney are carrying on the ‘all-seeing-eye’/’one eye covered’ motif again in the recent posters for new standalone Star Wars movie ‘Rogue One’.

    A very disturbing fact for Star Wars fans oblivious to this predictive design by Disney again.

    You can see the plans for the death Star projected heavily on one eye of each character, whereas the other eye is darkened to heighten the Illuminati ‘all-seeing-eye’ motif.

          I totally agree. Just last week I heard that the Loch Ness monster was colluding with JFK’s alien assassin in order to further the promoting of the Illuminati agenda. This was confirmed by both Bigfoot and Tupac. It’s actually a pretty big departure from their normal projects. Faking the moon landings, while creative, was a better demonstration of how they typically ply their talents.
