The BlackBear Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Loving the look, more personal, whilst Star Wars proper does the sweeping grandour. That horn makes me think of Jar Jar way too much. Cool looking general guy (whoever he may be.) And I'm intrigued by the kneeling hood, if we assume sith, it can't be the emporor (who would he kneel before,) I don't think it's Vader (why the hood, and he looks to limber,) some unknown apprentice? Sidious did have two apprentices during Episode I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebla Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 So the character Diego Luna is playing HAS to be Poe Dameron's father, right? I know there was an article a couple of days ago that said he's playing a totally new character but eff that, right? Diego Luna and Oscar Issac could be brothers! Also, this looks great.

Not bad or anything, but for some reason it just doesn't quite feel like Star Wars; whereas the trailers for Ep. VII immediately felt like the old movies. I'm not complaining, with the plans to have a Star Wars movie every year from here on out I think its good that they are trying out different things. I'm just a little surprised I guess that that would happen as soon as the second new movie. It doesn't have many (if any) alien species or familiar scenery.

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nice. Really good trailer, with a different aesthetic to it. I'm kind of disappointed they didn't show Vader in any way, though Leap is right you can hear his breathing at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab aeterno Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yeah, I'm going to have to agree that the appropriate reaction to this is "squee!" Now I really can't wait for SWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's wearing a hood but whose to say Vader swore off hoods all together when he got his fancy suit. I hope it's not the emperor kneeling before Snoke or anything like that.

It doesn't look big enough to be Vader, the helmet would distort the hood, and the armour makes him much squarer than that looks. For the Emperor it looks too young.

Damn never even noticed due to how excited i was, thanks for that! neither did i and now I've foolishly mentioned the lack of it to my friend's FB linked. Geek cred ruined forever. I really liked the trailer and the extent they've bent over to make this look exactly like the original films. the prequels were their own thing aesthetically and while TFA is still clearly in the same world it has updates to it. This really looks like it could be made in the early 80s from the sets and costumes (only the CGI and HD give it away). It probably cost a lot more to look cheaper though. When I rewatched the films prior to TFA I was struck at how integral to the plot of EPIV the stealing of the plans were to the point where I think it's entirely legitimate to have a prequel about it. It may even be that people will consider this as an EPIV lead in/bookend to the original trilogy if it pans out ok. I think we'd need some good Darth Vader character moments for that and possibly a Leia link. Obi Wan at a push while Luke would be gratuitous.

Astromech Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Looks pretty damn good. I made sure nobody was around while I watched so I could fully geek on it. I can't wait. Two great Xmas presents in a row. I was hoping for a shot of Mads, but oh well. I already like Felicity Jones' character, Jyn Erso. Forest Whitaker looks amazing. Mon Mothma +1! I initially thought Grand Moff Tarkin when I saw the Imperial in white, but much too young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I don't see how it could be anyone but Vader. The red guards suggest this person is kneeling to the Emperor, and they have that rule of two. I suppose it's too much to hope that It's Ezra from Rebels all grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi Wan at a push while Luke would be gratuitous. Obi Wan shouldn't be anywhere near, given that he's supposed to be hiding out in the desert at this stage. It'd be a bit of a stretch to have him involved here and get back to long lonely isolation on Tattooine before Ep IV. I reckon we might get a Leia cameo at the end as she receives the plans, but since they were beamed to her it's not necessary. Vader would certainly be welcome, though.

Ramsay B. Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 No Mads or Mendelsohn but that looked absolutely incredible. I had goosebumps the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
