Rogue One trailer

[Istbor]

I loved the use of the sounding alarm. This has me excited, because it looks good, and because it is something to feed off of until Episode VIII.

I predict a high Bothan kill rate.

That's the second death star.

That's the second death star.

Well...

Rey's mom? Thus the two similar female leads. Althought she would probably be too old without space fertility drugs. Would she be too old to be Rey's mom?

No, I think it's possible. This movie happens *just* before Episode IV. So, she's a contemporary of Luke, Han, and Leia - and to my eye she's not any older than Han. So, her being Rey's mom is plausible.

I'm not sure we need *every* major character related by blood, but it could be as you suggest, from what little we know.

Whu? is this Star Wars 8 or some kind of prequel *un-numbered* movie.... 'cause if they start doing un-numbered, I'd be cool with that....

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Freakin' awesome!

I'm hoping this feeds into the Battle of Toporawa that was canon from the Star Wars radio dramatization, which shows Princess Leia, R2D2, and C3PO intercepting the plans from the team that captured and transmitted them ... but not the actual recovery of the plans themselves.

N.B. ... Bothans were Death Star II.

And it would make the reveal of who is Rey's mother more significant. Anyone else would pretty much be out of left field. Althought Rey being the child of Luke and Boba Fett would get my thumbs up just for the MRA/GG rage it would produce.

Rogue One being used as an origine story for some characters we saw in TFA sounds very plausbile when we consider the mysterious hooded figure in black that we briefly see. Snoke maybe? http://io9.gizmodo.com/every-cool-detail-we-spotted-in-the-rogue-one-a-star-w-1769606654

 

[Hand of Evil]

Not a complaint (I have a fondness for ladies with British accents of all sorts), but the heroine seems very similar to the lead from The Force Awakens. Did the British Commonwealth extend to the whole of the Galaxy in the distant past in the Star Wars universe? (Actually, all of this was "a long time ago", so not really possible. Or maybe there was a time bridge to the heyday of the British Empire. Anyways.)

The movie does look good.

Thx!

It is that good clone DNA in the future

It is a spin off, the first of many.

My understanding is that they intend to alternate movies in the core plotline with side-stories. Keeps you in a steady stream of Star Warsiness, while allowing them time to actually make the movies.
