Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Page 13

*sdp* · 10-12-2016, 10:59 PM

I've been very critical and still agree with all the points I've made over the past few months/year but what can I say I'm a sucker and I'm already getting all hyped on Star Wars again and it's only going to get worse as we get closer to release. I'm already planning my SW marathon. I'm thinking of skipping the main movies and this time do a spin-off film marathon, watch Rebels and a few video game "movies".

Here's the final trailer.

I don't really have any particular feelings about it one way or the other. This is probably better than the Farce Awakens, but it looks like a generic space action movie.

Is this chick the only Star Wars character who actually knows who her father is?
Anakin didn't, Luke didn't (for two out of three films), Rey didn't. Seems Rogue One is shaking things up by not only having Jones know her dad but also meeting him. Wow, this movie will be so different from what we've seen before in STAR WARS.

I like how the leads are girls now.

Galen Erso has something to do with the creation of the Death Star.

The lead female's father built the Death Star? And she's not a mary sue because....?

It looks pretty good but I'm STILL waiting for an adaptation of KOTOR! I mean how awesome would it be to finally have Darth Revan and his story on the big screen?

Wow, must have been hard work. And I thought Episode II revealed the Geonosians built the Death Star?

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 10-13-2016, 12:02 PM

Oh, yeah... that's weird. Maybe Count Dookie had the original concept for the Death Star and Felicity Jones's dad translated it to actual schematics?

The Geonosians had the plans to built the Death Star, But they didn't built it themselves, Perhaps Galen Erso was the person who created the super weapon that's on the Death Star itself, But not the entire thing.

and I believe he's the one who knows it from the ground up, its weaknesses and so forth.

They designed the Death Star but didn't build it? But that was kind of their thing... hordes of disposable workers that could quickly build things. Now we're to believe it was just some random human dude, and probably some 3rd party workers?

Didn't the Geonosians design and build these too?

Clearly intended to callback (or forward in this case) to the Death Star.

*CyberCubed* · 10-13-2016, 03:16 PM

The trailer looked really good. I'm interested. Action scenes look to be top notch.

*sdp* · 10-13-2016, 11:04 PM

Trailer is ok, original one is still my favorite. It looks like a high budget SW movie of something I didn't care to see but hey, it's a high budget SW movie so I'm hyped. I still wish they had done 1000 different things but what can I do about it?

poor writing.

*Mayhem* · 10-14-2016, 04:02 AM

It may be revealed in Rogue One, but I believe the Genosians designed the Death Star, but because of the Clone War, it didn't start being built until "the Empire" came into being. Jyn's father is instrumental in getting the project completed, maybe even coming up with solutions to problems found in the design, or the overall performance of the superlaser. There has to be reason, from the trailer, why the Imperials are deliberately looking for him.

I thought those was Neimoidian vessels? (the Trade Federation guys)

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 10-14-2016, 08:05 AM

Yeah I think those are the center orbs of the trade federation ships. Maybe it's shape was deliberately made to look like the Death Star though, it's an interesting observation.

*Powder* · 10-14-2016, 08:07 AM

Never been a SW fan but this looks pretty dope to me. Might watch sometime. Some great actors in there, & I love the robot dude's design.

*THGhost* · 10-16-2016, 11:39 AM

I'm actually more excited for this than I was for The Force Awakens. T'will be nice to have a different formula/tone/focus for a change.

*ProactiveMan* · 10-18-2016, 12:22 AM

This one really feels like Star Wars to me, more so than Ep.7. It's probably just the OG Storm Troopers, but it looks great.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see if they disavow the space cockroaches. I don’t think there is anything in the prequels that definitively state that the roaches actually built the Death Star, but Uncle George says it outright in one of the making of features on the DVD. ‘Stuff George said’ isn’t cannon anymore I guess, so it doesn’t stop them from contradicting him… but it will be interesting to see what happens.

Won't be too long now before I've seen the whole movie on Youtube
