Star Wars Spin off: Rogue One.

DrBlacksmith · Apr 7, 2016

Rogue One is the first of the new spin off movies, the story is based on Rogue One fighter squadron stealing the plans to the Death Star. We obviously know they succeed due to A New Hope.

They released a teaser trailer, although I'm not a fan of teaser trailers, this one got me quite excited. Mainly because we get to see all the original Empire and Rebel outfits again, and Darth Vader.

Teaser Trailer

Thoughts?

Is that an Imperial Grand Admiral in the white uniform?
This might be interesting.

"Let's all charge at those AT-ATs, on foot and in open ground!"

Verbeek · Apr 7, 2016

Not a fan of the WEEW WEEW soundtrack, but at least this can't be worse than The Force Awakens.

Theirs not to reason why
Theirs but to do and die
Along the beach of Death
Ran the six hundred.

I take it your not a fan of Star Wars? Or just force awakens?

I actually think this could be better than the Force Awakens. Did anyone else see the Super Battle Droid? In the old canon the Rebels used Republic weapons and Separatist droids. I hope they do here.

The WEEW sound was used in the OT, so I guess it belongs?

I must admit that I'm more excited for Ep VIII (I like the OT characters through familiarity), but this should be very interesting. New characters are always good. Much like how the Han Solo origin books were very good despite (because of?) there not being any Jedi, I feel this will be a different show than the typical SW movie.

If you can't run away from an AT-AT, I'd say running right at its feet to get behind it is a very good way to disappear. Those things can't be easy to turn around.

That's what I always did on battlefront 2

Re, Running at heavy armour: Isn't it also pretty much your best bet in absence of heavy weaponry?
And what Seff said, they're also not very hard to keep up with on foot, and with those necks of theirs simply shouldn't be capable of aiming their most powerful weapons directly downward.

Hoping for one memetic badass in particular? Or at least the grounds for one?

Captured Joe · Apr 7, 2016

Maybe

Druidic · Apr 7, 2016

I'm more interested as to what character Forest Whitaker is playing. he seems like a warrior of some sort, or a general.

Going with the heavy armour analogy, that's why there are more than one in the formation, or they are supported by infantry or other means, so that bogies won't get into any blindspot.
And there are least four AT-ATs visible in the teaser.

DrBlacksmith · Apr 7, 2016

Usually AT-ATs are escorted by two AT-ST scout walkers. Which are good anti infantry and anti star fighter.

HoJu · Apr 7, 2016

I hope we get to see all those bothan spies who died to get the plans

DrBlacksmith · Apr 8, 2016

Probably not. Considering the Bothans were credited for Intel on the second Death Star plans, and the shield generator on Endor.

Cyborg Eastern European · Apr 8, 2016

I don't think it's too late to retcon them into some sort of intel organisation that that woman conjures up after her successful obtaining and hand off of the Death Star I plans.

But you're still 'only' being shot at by three walkers, rather than four.
Also, legs. Legs are bad armour. Proceed to apply explodium.

I am intrigued by this trailer. I wonder if Renegade Squadron will be mentioned (if at all) or re-added to canon.

Not a fan of TAF, because the writing was unoriginal and story was predictable, that just killed any suspense. This movie has some new and interesting content and characters, so it'll instantly be better than The Force Awakens (at least for me). Hopefully the characters and plot will be less shallow this time around.

Ups. True that.

So...Felicity Jones' character is named Jyn Erso. I hope her sidekick will be named Keelus Khatarno.
