Whereas I feel if done correctly, which I feel confidant it will be, it's a great opportunity to show how terrifying Vader has become sine ROTS and would make his entrance in ANH that much more impactful.

and your a real world ass
but I would expect that from someone with an avatar that describes them as a obnoxious little kid
I have a sister who has been in the army and has done tours of duty in both the Iraq and Afghanistan war, on the front lines. She is currently a firefighter in Philly. I think she would beg to differ as well

I want to see why Vader is the most feared Sith in the galaxy. I want to see him wreck a bunch of rebels without mercy.

Just a shot of him plowing into an army base with a lightsaber would be cool...
I wonder if it would be too much to show flashback shots to his past and see him get angrier and angrier every time a new memory pops up, or if that would be over doing the fan service a bit.

Isn't Cassein the chemical in cheese?
I thought it was in milk.
You forgot to put in the "I'm not sexist because I have friends that are girls" comment.

If you're referencing the game, TOR. That never was considered canon.
If only that were true. Any criticism at all of TFA was immediately attacked by rabid jackals on this site. Those of us who dared to criticize TFA were ignorantly labeled JJ-haters, sexists, misogynists, and racists. We were called trolls, simply for venting our own personal frustrations with the film. We even started our own thread, just for those of us who didn't care for the film, leaving the TFA-lovers to wallow in their own TFA lovefest--but we were followed there by many of the rabid jackals, whose clear goal was censorship, as they cried out in each post that our thread should be shut down! I've been a member here for 14 years, and it was the most loathsome and despicable display of trolling I've ever seen.
So no, my friend, anyone who does not care for Rogue One after they've seen it, will not be able of post those opinions on this site without being personally attacked by those same rabid jackals, I'm afraid.
Now, I do agree with you that we should not jump to any firm conclusions about characters or the movie until we've seen it. But @CessnaDriver said it best, "once bitten, twice shy". Those of us who were turned off by Rey's absurdly fast and advanced facility with the Force have just been shown a trailer featuring another scrawny female lead who's shown kicking ass in close combat. And this girl, presumably, does not have the Force to explain her abilities.
It's just a glimpse, to be fair, but it's made me and some others think, Oh God, here we go again. Girl power run amok. Listen, I agree that some women are way more capable than the classic Hollywood stereotype of them falling down as they attempt to flee the monster or bad guy. But apparently it's not good enough for girls to not fall down as they flee danger. No, they have to turn around and beat the living crap out of that danger, even when it defies the laws of physics and common sense. The pendulum has swung waaaay too far to the other side. I'm hoping it will settle in the middle, in reality, some day soon.
If this new girl kicks ass the way Rey did, if she's another Mary Sue, Disney will never see another dime from me.
But I don't think that will happen. I think the filmmakers heard the Mary Sue gripes, and will avoid repeating that mistake. I'm cautiously optimistic.

The Bothans died getting plans about the 2nd Death Star. There's no mention of how many people died getting the plans for the 1st Death Star to Leia.
Personally I don't want Jedi in this film. Jedi are just a tiny part of the Galactic war (albiet a crucial and central part) but I'm happy to also see the war from the side of the grunts for once.
It's like WW2 films - sure there's a great story to be told from the perspective of the generals and world leaders (e.g. Patton, A Bridge Too Far) but it's also fascinating (arguably more) the stories that come from the field (e.g. Band of Brothers, Das Boot, The Great Escape ...). I want Rogue One to be the latter kind of film.

Everyone is allowed to voice their opinions here. And everyone has. Some people many, many times. When it derails a thread it becomes a problem.
