The first official teaser trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is here! And it is exciting! Wow, Rogue One looks great, and the grittiness of the Imperial era Star Wars is perfect. It looks dirty, low-tech, and everything that Imperial era Star Wars should look like. In fact, the film looks and feels very much like the Battlefront video games, since those gave players the perspective of a soldier in the larger battle.
As we already knew, the film follows the group of Rebels that stole the Death Star plans, and the cast is absolutely incredible and many of them are not even shown clearly yet. Ip Man actor and martial artist, Donnie Yen, shows off his considerable skills in the trailer, which is exciting. Also, I have seen some people associate the famous quote, "Many Bothans died to bring us this information" with this film, but actually, Mon Mothma said that in Return of the Jedi in reference to information about the second Death Star, so Rogue One has nothing to do with that quote. Otherwise, this trailer is exciting! But it also does not spoil anything really, or at least it does not appear to. And maybe I will write more about the film and this trailer later in the week, but for now, comment with your thoughts below!

I was surprised how much I liked this trailer - it felt like Star Wars for grown ups but that kids would still dig too. Good to see another strong female lead as well. I'm well up for this now!
ReplyDeleteHuh. This ought to be an interesting film; I'm not sure how I feel about the main protagonist, I'm getting a little tired out by all the "strong and stoic" female leads recently. But hopefully the movie is good!
ReplyDeleteI think you know where I stand lol. I thought it looked just okay. (Donnie Yen though is cool, glad to see him in something like this)!
ReplyDeleteits so weird to see Star Wars like that. I mean... it feels like an action film that happens to take place in that universe. which is exactly what that is. Im not sure if I love it or hate it. lol. but you're right in that it feels like a Battlefront game. I can totally see that. which is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteand then theres the whole female lead thing which everyone is apparently losing their crap over. idk.
I'm excited because I'll be excited about anything Star Wars does. lol
It looks really good! I already love Felicity Jones, and I'm sure she's gonna be good. I like the tone it seems to have -- gritty and smaller and no too Star Wars-y. And retro too! It's like a Star Wars period piece. :P
ReplyDeleteThis trailer looks really cool. My only concerns are. 1 another strong-female-lead? and 2. the palm trees make it look like AT-ST's are attacking hollywood. Other than that I am exited!
