Ah thanks. For some reason when I clicked on the EW twitter page I didn't see it.

Is there a reason for the British prim and proper accents or is that just artistic license.

These guys are Knights-of-Ren levels of badass!
i love the fact that they're just using "standard" x-wing pilot chest boxes.
and something that looks very similar to a Tusken Raider cycler rifle
and i love the "long haired maltese dog with a gatling"

Does one have a boner?
After this trailer...yes.

Whitaker doesn't look anything like the guy but I'm soooo happy that they finally made a concrete link from Clone Wars to the movies.
I'm not going to expect them to make more major links like the Rebels crew being mentioned or Ahsoka, but the door is open.

Additional new images here: http://makingstarwars.net/2016/10/2...-wars-story-images-via-star-wars-card-trader/. The new trooper designs are excellent.

That jungle Rebel soldier looks so much cooler than the stupid Endor Commandos.

Yah, but how are they going to explain Leia's absence on screen? "Off on some mission" thing?

Princess Leia is a member of the Imperial Senate. It's slander to suggest a loyal politician of the Empire would be associating with Rebel filth.

The story pretty much ends when she enters the picture. I don't see any problem. You could have a lookalike at the end of the movie, or just imply that she is next in line to receive the plans.

Not really. It's more Star Wars, so I'm pretty much on an equal level of anticipation.
But, I still like the idea of a more "gritty" approach with this one.

How come everyone looks so fucking badass in this film.
I'm half-expecting a Maz Kanata cameo because surely there has to be at least one shitty design in this film.

These guys are going to be easy to cosplay!

If these are real trading cards, I want them all.
Reminds me of the Emperor's Royal Guards.

These guys made me laugh. I bet they just found some cloth and boxes, put it on their heads and walk around pretending to be Imperial royal guards so the storm troopers leave them alone.

Palpatine hadn't declared himself Emperor yet

I wonder if we'll get some classic Sheev.

Ian McDiarmid says he's not in this one.

This would be post ROTS meaning he would be emperor.
Lol is this unaltered? Never seen it.

Not me. I was way more hyped for VII and more hyped for VIII than Rogue One.

Probably about equal. Especially after how good TFA turned out to be.
Bye-bye, Prequels! Star Wars is back.
Probably a freeze frame from the part where Palpatine's transmission to Naboo was interrupted?
No but I'll be damned if this trailer didn't sell and hype me.....
Nope, not even close. The movie looks visually stunning, but I still don't believe Edwards can do drama well, and we already had a Star Wars movie last year. I'm looking forward to it, but it's not super exciting. Even the female and minorities in major roles thing was done last year in VII. It's great they are continuing with it tho!
They could go either way, though ROTJ had some of the best scenes in the series.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
And so Star Wars again proves to be at its best when costume and gear designs appear grounded and practical.
The PT had great aesthetics thank you very much

I am not under the delusion that I was under during the TFA hype cycle that it was going to be the second coming, so no.
But Rogue One does look kinda like the supplemental Star Wars material I grew up on in during the 90s (ie Del Ray books and LucasArts games), so maybe it will satisfy me in that way. I dunno. We'll see.
Fucking sweet! Dude's like the original rebel along with his crew. Plus, live action Ahsoka? Please Disney, do it!
Force push
It was always the more interesting project of the two for me. But honestly the trailers and to lesser extend TFA kinda killed my interest in this.
Reviews and impressions need to be great to get my ass in the seat at this point.

Hit and miss. For example:
+ Naboo's architecture and vehicles
+ Queen Amidala's outfits
+ Palpatine's outfits
+ Darth Maul
+ Kaminoans
- Nemoidians
- Gungans (the species, not their aquatic city)
- Geonosis, the Geonosians, the arena creatures, most of the things in AotC's third act
- Anakin's outfits and styling
- post-transformation Palpatine's stupid rubbery face and weird flimsy cloak that doesn't drape correctly (compare and contrast with his perfect RotJ makeup and cloak)
Let it die!
-What's wrong with your faaaaaaaccccceeeeee?
A contrasting of the creature designs in the PT to OT, TFA and, from what we've seen of Rogue One, are not flattering the PT, in general.

I have never believed anything that anyone has said about the making of these films prior to release.
He's probably not in it, but it's not a lie if he is.

Pretty much. TFA's art design is a cut above the PT's nearly across the board, and Rogue One looks to be just as strong in that area.
I mean... name a better droid design than BB-8 in the PT. It can't be done!
And Kylo Ren's design is just stunningly good on its own, much less compared to the PT. Maul is cool and all but he doesn't evoke the classic Star Wars aesthetic like Kylo. His helmet alone is a masterpiece.
I forgot to mention in my other post how much General Grevious sucks. Trash name, trash voice, trash design, trash characterization. Having Maul return in AotC would have been much better.

I'd swap Kaminoans and Nemoidians in your list. At least the Nemoidians sort of looked like an extension/evolution of the Emperor's aide designs in RotJ:
Plus, bonus points for being practical costumes with cheesy rubber masks.
The Kaminoans barely evoked Star Wars at all for me. Maybe it was the general fakeness of every scene they were in that put me off.
In contrast, nearly every Rogue One design I've seen is on point.
