I'll make a call. I say this film will outperform expectations, I think Disney is uncertain how is will perform relative to TFA. It won't make TFA money but the analysts on Wall Street who cover Disney don't seem connected to the potential this film could do. I think they made a great one that's going to take many by surprise.
I meant in universe. She's still a Skywalker, whether that was known at the time of the movie or not...
This is a LEGO page, but it says Jyn Erso is a Sergeant and the AT-ST is in it, Also there's a figure with the TIE Striker fighter that is an Imperial Ground crew member with batons, so I think that seals what some of us said that Jyn is in that disguise, not a TIE Pilot.

From your keyboard to God's eyes.
What do you think Disney will consider a successful haul on R1's initial run? Would they be genuinely pleased with $500M in NA and $1B WW?

there's a jedi "holy land" planet, under "occupation" ..? ughh.
they should skip the real-world political allegory, this isn't TNG.
the last thing we need is for SW to make sideways political statements about the "Holy Land".
(we get this enough with Rebels and their cast of hebrew-named characters).
(not that there's anything wrong with that).
just saying: there's a time and a place. and this isn't TNG, it's "fantasy". it should not become a vehicle for religious/political allegory.

I am as excited for the trailer this Thursday as I was for the TFA trailer last year. I really hope this flick puts the "war" in Star Wars.
only if the "war" you're talking about is the one in the Middle East.
(with Our Heroes in the role of terrorists).

Or, you know, the actual city Jeddah in Saudi Arabia where people fly into to make the pilgrimage to Mecca. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeddah
Cheesy naming, although I guess it fits in with weak creativity in planet names like Mon Calamari.
Anyway, excited for the trailer.

Yah, not crazy about the jedi-religion-holy-land thing.
To me, as a kid, the Force was about believing in myself.
It was about "if you want something bad enough, then make it happen".
It was about trying to levitate pencils during boring history lessons.
It was never about religion.
It's such a simple concept... why do writers feel such a need to overcomplicate it?
I'll still see the movie, but I'm pretty disappointed in Disney right now.

I would think they will look to under promise and over deliver. $500M might be the official estimate but I could see $750M-$1B being a possibility depending on overseas box office. This films cast being heavily Asian and subject matter should play much better in China.

Donnie Yen confirms what the EW piece on Jedah heavily implied...

Donnie Yen got a really nasty look from Kathleen Kennedy when he revealed at CE3
that his character is going to die

It was Jiang Wen who spilled the beans, not Donnie Yen
