OT: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Teaser Trailer

Submitted by Space Coyote on

Here's the new Star Wars stand alone film trailer. I know there is the thread downstream, but this one actually contains the trailer.

 

 

Personally, I love the originals, think the prequals are average with potential but poorly executed, and really, really enjoyed The Force Awakens (yes, it has similarities to A New Hope, it's also damn entertaining with great, original characters, which I think the haters disregard because nothing can live up to their expectations of the thrill of the originals).

Anyway, I'm excited about this one too. Looks a little more gritty and dark, which in and of itself does not make it good, but I like that it feels a bit more grounded in an individuals story rather than the massive story arc that is the series. It also has some samurai stuff going on there, like actual samurai stuff, not light sabers, which I'm completely on board with. Felicity Jones, Mads Mikelsen (!), Forest Whitaker (!), Donnie Yen, just a great international cast.

I like that they are bringing in more female characters with actual personalities and that actually do useful things. But where is Wedge Antilles???

To an extent even better than TFA. Different, which is probably more direct.

TFA was great but it had that "seen this before" feel. I can't wait for these spinoffs!

Ben Mendelsohn playing some badass Imperial officer!

Check out Bloodline on Netflix for a great acting job by him (and others).  Apparently he was in Dark Knight Rises which I admit I still haven't seen.
