OT: Star Wars Rogue One

[Dr. Funke.sixpack]

I think I'm more pumped about this than I was for EpVII.

Great actors, and full creative license with storytelling.

I can't wait to see Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Con Man) Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) and Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline), who have yet to show up in a cast photo or trailer, so I can only assume they're mostly villains.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Yes, please.

I tend to agree. I was really excited for VII, don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure it held up to the hype.
This looks good.

How can you leave out Steve the Pirate when referring to Alan Tudyk? Once I learned that guy's name, I found that he appears in A LOT of stuff. Several prominent voice roles in animated movies too.

 

[AlSwearengen]

Wait, I am assuming this is a spinoff of the regular old star wars? How does it relate to the regular star wars movies?

 

[MSUDC11]

I like The Force Awakens a lot. The consensus seems to be that it's the third or fourth best of the seven, depending on how you feel about Return of the Jedi. But just being in the conversation speaks volumes about how good the new one is.

Rogue One has the chance to be outstanding. Love the concept.

 

[Bulldogg31]

This is the story of the Rebels who stole the plans for the original Death Star

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I'll have what he's having.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Correct. This happens just before A New Hope.

 

[00Dawg]

That looks way better than I had hoped.
After the teaser photos were released with VII, I was concerned they were going to make it too gritty. Instead, that looks just about right. No major changes to the standard uniforms or equipment, but the addition of new ones, plus some familiar items are using retro versions.
It's a little off seeing a different Mon Mothma, particularly when they're going to the trouble of doing Tarkin in CGI, but that actress is close enough that it works.

 

[PBRME]

I hope they make the Obi Wan movie Ewan Mcgregor has talked about.

 

[Junction John]

Wait - for us everyday fans, who is Mon Mothma?

It's a little off seeing a different Mon Mothma, particularly when they're going to the trouble of doing Tarkin in CGI, but that actress is close enough that it works.

I remember Tarkin of course from A New Hope, but can you remind who the lady is?

I'm usually not a huge fan of spin-offs and side stories, but this trailer looks really good.

She's one of the leaders of the rebellion. Many Bothans die bringing her things.

 

[Xenomorph]

I'm moist.

Another victory for IMDB.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Huh?

Seriously? You a Trekkie?

[BulldogBlitz]

This is the story of the Rebels who stole the plans for the original Death Star

it was just the track team. nothing at all to do with the football program.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I enjoyed TNG and go to the current movies

But it's not a sci-fi universe I'm particularly invested in.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

I'm aware of who he is and of IMDB. Never mind.

 

[Rockydawg]

"This is a rebellion, isn't it? I rebel."

EXCELLENT.

 

[Maroonbulldog]

She's one of the leaders of the rebellion. Many Bothans die bringing her things.

What most don't realize- is that it is just one person that dies- a guy named Manny Bothanz. Former lovah to Mon Mothma.

( since most won't get this reference- it is from a satirical comic book called Tag and Bink??? I think- set up in the SW universe). Purely a joke peeps

 

[drail14me]

I'm wondering if Ben Mendelssohn will be playing a "version" of Grand Admiral Thrawn? He sure looks the part, minus the blue skin, in the trailer!

This could turn out to be the best film of the franchise!

 

[Hump4Hoops]

That Imperial Lambda class T-4a shuttle was just his agent's starship.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Looks pretty awesome.

Also, this thread makes me realize that apparently, I am not a nerd.***

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Wow, I think you're right. Also, apparently Tudyk's role

has been revealed - he's voice acting that super battle droid looking thing running in the trailer (an "enforcer droid" that's been reprogrammed by the alliance).

Mikkelsen will reportedly be a good guy, and Darth Vader will play a larger role than originally anticipated. Can't wait.

 

[MaroonNation]

It moved

 

[The Maroon Pug]

Literal LOL from me. That was great.

 

[ShrubDog]

There has never been a thread on here with this many names I cannot pronounce.

 

[Carbaryl]

This looks good!
