Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (teaser trailer)

[Kutnupe14]

Perhaps my geek got the better of me and I was projecting on to you, apologies. I feel you on the girl power vibe, it definitely was coming through on the trailer.

Explain this. I'm not following. Would it be a "man power vibe" if the actress had been replaced with a man?

 

[RevoWood123]

With Disney involved, do you really think that they would allow a single shekel to slip through their fingers?

I have no reservations to thinking that Disney isn't going to capitalize in every way they can off the franchise, that doesn't bother me one bit. What I am happy about is that they are more in-tune with the fan base who want more movies, want more stories, and they are employing a lot of people who are passionate about the franchise to get it done. That is one thing Disney does well, they understand their patrons/ customers. People who love Disney are still gonna go even though ticket prices will rise, and Disney will continue to invest into those people's wants because that's going to mean more revenue in the end.

They show a woman in power of the rebellion, a female heroin who is strong and formidable, not to mention in the Force Awakens there is Rey who is going to be a powerful force once trained. I feel as though they are pushing through an agenda that shows that women can be powerful as well. (Yes women can be strong and powerful people just the same as men). I don't care that film makers want have an agenda that they may want to convey to an audience, I also don't care that they are promoting women as being strong leaders or formidable heroins of stories, what I do care about is if I will be entertained if I spend my money to watch the film. The previous films were primarily dominated by males in power positions, they want to showcase women in the newer films. It makes do difference to me so long as the story is good and the movie is worth what I pay to see it.

This. I don't care man woman, black or white etc. if the movie is good I don't care who is doing the acting. As long as I don't get preached to and walk away entertained.

I can't wait to see the AT-ATs again and even the clones.
Since this is before the original movie I assume this would be the mission that gets the Death Star plans to Leiah sent with R2D2?

That seems to be from what I grasped from the trailer.

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life man. I had my wife watch all of the movies from beginning to end, she came around and started to understand the love for it.

Mon Mothma has always been the rebellion's political leader...

Fair enough.

Right. If your story features females, or people of color, by all means. However, I'm having a hard time imagining the next Star Wars spin-off, whatever that may be, feature a white male protagonist. That's just my assumption, and I may be wrong... but I really doubt it'll happen again.

Hire good actors and actresses for your movies, and keep "affirmative action" and "title IX" approaches out of casting.

This says nothing of the quality of this movie, and it may be amazing. I'm just seeing this sort of agenda in video games (MAKE LINK A GIRL, SAMUS IS TRANS, DERP) all the time... and I'd hate to see it spread into cinema and become noticeably prevalent.

#Minority Privilege? Lol.

Unfortunately, my limited Star War knowledge friend, the next Star Wars spin-off, after Rogue One will be based on a young Han Solo.... and unless they have decided to give him a tan or reassign his gender, he's a pretty legit white guy.

Nope, they won't touch the "major" characters. They may be mentioned, but that's about it.

Didn't I catch a glimpse of Tarkin?

(Or does he not count as "major"?)

ETA: Also, Mon Mothma.

Lot of speculation. Seeing more people say "no" than "yes" though.

Does Ben Mendelsohn Play Grand Moff Tarkin in 'Rogue One'?

Basing the determination on no-longer-canon EU criteria for Imperial uniform/insignia/rank details is probably not a good idea.

but of the last 5 guns I got, she paid for 3 of them!(I won 1 of the other two), I can make that kind of sacrifice!

That might have been Tarkin. I don't consider him a major character. I fully expect to see other characters seen in the other films, just not core characters that have their own stories to explore. Characters like Admiral Akbar, Jabba, Ashoka, and others seem like they could make appearances.

 

[9mmfan]

I'm really stoked to see this! I predict it will do as good or better than #7 did.

So what are your thoughts on the 2nd season finale of Rebels? Either, you havent seen it yet, or you are one of those, like me, that feel a certain way about the ending...

I haven't seen Rebels yet, but I somehow stumbled on how it ended...I'm really hoping the feeling you have is right

 

[Super Bee]

Hoping Boba Fett makes an appearance.
