Sad there's no new trailer, but I loved the behind the scenes stuff. Hell, I could probably just watch Storm Troopers walking all day and get excited. This seems fun.
Rogue One (2016) [SW Anthology Series)
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
The 3-minute Trailer will be on TV tonight, at 8pm on ABC they are having The Making of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the trailer will premiere during it.
The Striker seems unnecessary and looks a bit meh, kind of like something someone threw together for an early licensed game or something. With a little tweaking it could have been a nice "devolution" of the Interceptor, shame. I like the shuttle design, though I wonder why the Emperor would be cruising around in a standard Lambda-class shuttle if something so much more impressive looking is available. Perhaps that is intentional, to show this guy is too big for his britches and if that might come into play in the plot.
Damn. My mom and I usually take our dog to the dog park at 7:00, which is when it airs here, hopefully the trailer will be online by the time we get home. I hope they put the special up online tomorrow.The 3-minute Trailer will be on TV tonight, at 8pm on ABC they are having The Making of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the trailer will premiere during it.
You didn't miss anything last night. Disney said the new trailer would air during the TFA behind-the-scenes special (which was just the Blu-ray featurette) but the only thing they played was the same three-minute Rogue One behind-the-scenes video that was online all day yesterday, just with a couple more interview shots (like Mads Mikklesen).
Trailer can be found here, but it looks like it was filmed through a broken microscope in Shanghai smog while the cameraman rode a mechanical bull:

If anything the TIE Striker looks more like a forerunner to the TIE Phantom.
The behind-the-scenes vid shows that the film-makers are continuing with their efforts to do as many practical effects creatures and sets as possible rather than greenscreen/CGI.
That would explain it. Thanks for the info.
This is spectacular.Love that poster.
By the way, @Commander Richard, I love your avatar. Who is it in there? Do you have a larger version of it?
Thanks. I cropped her out of this photo. The cosplayer who plays Janice Rand is the same one from @Pauln6 's avatar except that his has Grace Lee Whitney's head pasted on. Here she is. I made an avatar with her too.By the way, @Commander Richard, I love your avatar. Who is it in there? Do you have a larger version of it?
Also, random fun fact: Two of the Prequels were released in years where a Trek TV series ended. 1999 saw the release of Phantom Menace and the end of DS9 while 2005 saw the release of Revenge of the Sith and the end of Enterprise.
Also interesting, at the time, Enterprise's ending was the end of Trek's run of 18 consecutive years on TV, while ROTS was the last live action SW movie released while Lucas owned the franchise. Both franchises ended prominent chapters in their respective histories in the same month, 2005. By curious coincidence, Trek's revival and the relaunch of live action Star Wars movies would both be handled by JJ Abrams.

The trailer looks absolutely stunning in 3D on the big screen. My heart was pounding during it tonight.
