Star Wars: Rogue One - Cat Party can't type a fucking title correctly so I had to fix this for him like I do everything

[CatParty]

 

[BILLY MAYS]

Star Wars: Red One?

In all seriousness though, a Prequel-Era story, probably relating to Death Star plans. I can dig this.

 

[exball]

Now they've lost their chance to cast Forrest Whitaker as Jolee Bindo.

 

[tlegg]

Honestly I'm looking forward to this.

 

[The Nothingness]

After Episode VII, I can't find in myself to get excited for another movie of this franchise.

 

[Spellskite]

Holy shit that "I rebel" line is awful

 

[Tranhuviya]

It can't be just me. That siren klaxon thingy sounds like an elephant being stuck like a pig.

Holy shit that "I rebel" line is awful

Yeah, I hate trailer-bait lines like that. It's almost on par with Data's "saddle up, lock and load" line from Star Trek: Insurrection which was only included in the script so it would end up in the trailer. I was already looking forward to this film and I like the idea of Star Wars spin-off films detailing events we never saw in the main series (stuff which was previously confined to books, comics and video games) so this trailer just confirmed that feeling for me.

It can't be just me. That siren klaxon thingy sounds like an elephant being stuck like a pig.

That sound is one of the most annoying things I've ever heard. I don't know why it was included. I guess they wanted to convey danger or urgency, but there are explosions and shooting going on so we already got the message on that front. All it's done is put me off repeat viewings of the trailer.

 

[Really makes you thunk]

I was really looking forward to this (still kinda do), but this teaser/trailer kind of made me lose some interest. It looks really mediocre.
What made me interested in the idea of the movie in the first place was the initial pitch that it would be a fun heist movie in the Star Wars universe about a team of rebels who go steal the Death Star plans. Emphasis on team. This teaser has got me scared that the protagonist may just be a stronk independent mary-sue who don't need no character development, and the other members of the team will be way, way less important. And that's coming from someone who thinks Rey wasn't really as much of a mary-sue as a lot of people complain about.

Doesn't help that Felicity Jones feels very miscast as a reckless loose-cannon rebel. She's way too posh, and doesn't come across as someone who could put up much of a fight. It's what gave the "I rebel" line that extra cringiness.

 

[VLAD]

I'm just excited to see a Star Wars movie without sabers, Solos, or Skywalkers. Show me how the regular people live in this cool-ass setting.

 

[Ravana]

Is there a character named "Many Bothans"?

 

[TheImportantFart]

Is there a character named "Many Bothans"?

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a Bothan in live action. I've always liked that species, even if people could never make their minds up if they were anthropomorphic dogs or horses or a mix of the two.

 

[Falcon Lord]

Kudos to the casting for Mon Mothma (the Rebel leader lady). She looks pretty much indistinguishable from the original actress.

 

[Lensherr]

So Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is coming out soon, and like almost any big release, it's generating salt from those either anticipating or dreading its release (but mostly the latter):

Since Star Wars is such a big franchise with a wide-reaching, passionate fanbase (of which I count myself among) I thought that it would be pertinent to create a thread for all the salt that it generates. So discuss away!

 

[GabeRegan]

I have no desire to watch Rogue One, but that is mostly because I don't care about learning how Leia got the plans to the Death Star. Look forward to the salt from both sides when it turns out Darth Vader kills 90% of the films cast in the climax.

 

[Quijibo69]

Now that they're going to have one every year it will be over saturated to the point of no return. It will be the movie equivalent of The Simpsons.

tbh I just want a movie where Bothans die to bring people information.

I want to watch them suffer.

Sorry, you're going to have to wait until the Return of the Jedi prequel Rogue Two: Electric Boogaloo to watch hordes of Bothans die to bring you joy.

 

[The Giver]

Look forward to the salt from both sides when it turns out Darth Vader kills 90% of the films cast in the climax.

That sounds fucking amazing actually. I'm down to watch Lord Vader straight up slaughter some rebel scum
