Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Pre-release)

[CessnaDriver]

All we can know for sure.......

"Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon".

We pretty much know what kind of ships the rebels flew and from where but there is no reason why there can't be something unique to this story in those regards, we have no idea what kind of battle it was other than they won for the first time against the Empire, and that there is
a high espionage level of the rebellion that we not been very exposed too before.





And obviously the plans reached Leia intact.

And there will be a ton of needing spoon fed moonbats balking over so called plot holes,the use of CGI, lack of original designs,or how they could have written the script better...:rolleyes

Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

Any idea when Rogue Two might come out?

It came out in 1980. Rogue Two is Empire Strikes Back. It is stated very explicitly in the movie itself by the character Zev Senesca. He says "This is Rogue Two" no less than four times ...

 

[Bryancd]

Trailer maybe attached to Capt. America Civil War May 16th!

 

[glunark]

Would love to see people's faces it the trailer uses Sabotage as its background music.

Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

I'm getting real tired of seeing people type 'Rouge One', and I fear this is just the beginning. Not just here, but pretty much on every website. Anyone with me?

That's going to be the featured color of another women's makeup marketing tie-in. There was one for TFA. Seriously. Women's makeup!

(Oops. I see somebody beat me to it!)

Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

Woot! A potential Rogue One spoiler. I figure this thread can just use spoiler tags instead of a separate one. It's just a link to a story that may provide some insight into the plot and characters. Sounds legit.

Unless the Rebel raid is still included, this sounds incredibly boring. Why would they take the story that we think happens (Rebels raiding one or several places to get the plans) to a father daughter movie?! I just keep hearing Lando "This deal is getting worse all the time..."

I want more of the old republic type movie i want to see the birth of the sith and jedi....

 

[Wolfsburg]

I'd say there's a good chance of that happening at some point.

You know, preach it.
I've got a buddy and this was his gripe, why didn't the prequels go way back?
I mean "old republic" sort of made us think much longer ago, Luke was basically clueless about that stuff, so it seemed
the back story of the most interest should have been farther back in time, mostly forgotten, not just a few decades back.


And conversely, I think the other direction into the future a 100 years or more would be better too than well, where we are
today with the the rebooqel now setting in motion that i's only 30 years and we are still dealing with Skywalkers.

But I am hoping for Rogue One to deliver and sell me that this is how it went down and I can believe it.

That's part of the big disconnect with the PT but at the same when you really sit down and think about ANH does make things a little confusing. Think about it, while you get the sense that the Empire has been around for quite some time and the Jedi are all but long forgotten, that doesn't work because Obi-Wan was obviously around there as was Anakin/Vader so unless people (or at least Jedi) in the Star Wars universe have the life spans of Tolkien elves then there's no way that the Clone Wars and the Old Republic could have been hundreds of years ago. That's the problem that the PT runs into although they probably could have gotten away with setting it about a decade earlier which would have worked out better (in my opinion), giving more time for the Jedi to fade more from memory and more time for the Empire to establish themselves.

As far as setting Star Wars 100+ years into the future, while I don't think that's necessarily a bad idea in and of itself I don't think that it would have worked for Ep. VII. These new movies need to be set when they are in order to give people a familiar setting with some familiar characters to boot, by setting it in the far future you run the risk of alienating both new viewers and old fans alike and it might be perceived as a generic sci-fi show with the Star Wars label on it. But now that they've announced that they're doing these Anthology movies, there's no reason why they couldn't do a Star Wars the Next Generation Anthology movie, it would be the perfect way of testing the waters for a Star Wars movie set far removed from the main trilogies and if it proves to be successful they could do more sequels and/or spin them off from the Anthologies and make a new set of trilogies based on it.

I'd have liked to see a version where Vader is around for several years before he and Obi-wan get into the Lava battle. Move the conception of the twins to just before that during a brief reconciliation between Vader and Padme, then everything goes to hell and he and Obi-wan have their battle. Haven't worked out the details.

 

[SteveStarkiller]

oh now that thought just pisses me off. That's a great idea, and would have been a great movie: Young Obi-Wan vs Darth Vader... sigh.

Hmm, though now that I think of it, will Rogue One feature Vader at all? Maybe in a supporting villain role sort of like in Rebels.

Also hope there are some y-wings.

 

[cayman shen]

Already hearing confusion from people who think this is EP 8. Hopefully the marketing team will really hammer home what this is.

 

[Wolfsburg]

As, far as the PT goes, I think it should've been 10-20 earlier than it was and I think Vader could've easily been 10-20 years older than he wound up being.

 

[seelsa73]

You guys realize Luke and Leia were only 20 or so in ANH? If you're going to have them born before he goes bad, which even disregarding the prequels was heavily implied at least in RotJ if not sooner, then the timeframe doesn't work out. I mean, unless you want to explain how they look and act 10-20 years younger than they are. Meaning you can only set it so far back for it to be believable.

 

[robn1]

The "Old" Republic was just the Republic, it became the "Old" Republic when Palp turned it into the Empire.
