New Rogue One trailer coming Thursday and the return of Bail Organa

[Mara Jade Skywalker 958]

We're getting a new Rogue One trailer Thursday during the Olympic coverage. Hopefully they'll specify exactly when it's supposed to drop as we get closer.

 

Also, Jimmy Smits is returning for a "small part" as Senator Bail Organa.

[Guest El Chalupacabra]

Good news about Jimmy Smits.

[Jacen123 1,747]

Oh thank god. If he wasn't in it, I was going to bail.

[Mara Jade Skywalker 958]

That was terrible. Good job.

If Jacen is like this now imagine how he'll be as a grandpa

[Jacen123 1,747]

Well, unless I move to an island nation, I imagine I will be incontinent.

[Mara Jade Skywalker 958]

Now you've gone too far.

[Jacen123 1,747]

Maybe so, but I still don't think my comment warrants such a death stare.

[Kyrian 204]

I wonder if they confirmed his cameo before the trailer because he's in it? Or because of his appearance (someone spotted half of him in the background of the Celebration reel) and were preempted by the fans spotting him?

[Jacen123 1,747]

From what I read, an interviewer caught on to his appearance in the previous footage and pressed him on it, which caused him to cave.

I'll always remember how creepy he was in Revenge of the Sith talking about how Leia would be "loved by us". Something about the delivery of that line and the look he had on his face made him look like a child molester.

[Mara Jade Skywalker 958]

Wow that's reading into things.

[Jacen123 1,747]

I always thought it was a weird reading of the line, but just pawned it off on Lucas Lucasing.

[Mara Jade Skywalker 958]

"Oh right, we need to make it clear that Bail Organa adopts Leia. Uh, let's stick this bad line in."

[Jacen123 1,747]

I liked the new trailer. The look of it is really nice.

[Exodus 300]

Very badass. I don't know how to embed shit on here anymore or I would.

[Jacen123 1,747]

If you can't embed, then you won't make for a very effective spy, man.

[Exodus 300]

...or just smart enough to fool the world into thinking I'm ineffective.

 

Seriously though I'm on an old browser. None of this new code ever works for vids, pics, etc.

[Jacen123 1,747]

The man who knew just enough.

[Lord Darth Hunter 221]

Great trailer. I marked out for Vader at the end. The more I see this film unfold the more I can't stand TFA. The Death Star was such a huge deal. It drove ANH and of course will be the central focus of this one. It was bad enough that we got a repeat of it in ROTJ. But to do Super Duper Death Star again in TFA was the laziest thing Abrams and Co could've done.

[Exodus 300]

Every old school fan I know likes this more than TFA in one way or another.

 

To me it has that same feel Halo: Reach and Revenge of the Sith both had - you essentially know how it ends, and you know it's generally bleak for the heroes, but you get the feeling that they're going to get you invested and make you care in spite of that, and for that I applaud them.

[Poe Dameron 483]

I don't think this trailer made me any more up for the movie. I think the first one better. But I'm definitely a lot higher on this movie than going into TFA. The specter of a scary nigh invincible Empire at its peak of power as the backdrop, and no superpowers to bail them out, gives this a different feel.

I don't hate TFA. When I saw it in the theaters, I loved it. Now.....I am sort of meh on in. Definitely hasn't endeared itself to me. But that is basically true of anything JJ. They are designed to make a sh*t ton of money in the first 10 weeks in the movies. Then you throw them away. He can make a block buster, you might even walk out loving the movie, but not necessarily something you are going to give a sh*t about 6 months later.

I watched TFA again recently, the parts I liked, I liked more, the parts I was annoyed by were worse. Kinda like ROTJ. That said-- it had to play by the SW handbook.

 

Rogue One, clearly does not have too-- and the new trailer shows that. To see ANH era designs with modern FX and camera work-- I am a-swooning. TFA pushed the envelope, but R1 seems to be mailing it directly to your mom.
