What a fantastic trailer, love the music, so far much better than TFA.
Rogue One (2016) [SW Anthology Series)
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
I was wondering too, of the tone as I plan on taking my family (including 11 & 6 year old). Like will it be Revenge of the Sith/Empire Strikes Back level, or more?
Is Donnie Yen portraying a Jedi? (He mentions the force)
Any word on any sort of tie-in to Rebels? It'd be nice to at least someone in the background (perhaps Chopper or some pink armor)
Also, did I remember correctly that Rogue One is supposed to lead directly into A New Hope? If so, no word on who is playing Leia? Or will it be a silent body double?

I love that the new universe includes non-Force sensitive people who still believe in the will of the Force, as the Jedi did. It never made a lot of sense to me that so many non-Jedi would dismiss the Force even though it very obviously existed.
The only tie in we know of to the animated series is Forest Whitaker as Saw Guerrera. I think they've made comments about RO elements possibly popping up in Rebels, but I don't think anything has been officially announced.
I don't think anyone has said how directly it'll lead into ANH. The only OT characters we know will be part of the movie will be Mon Mothma and Darth Vader, but I don't think we even know how big their roles will be.
Define "Empire porn."
It was actually there right from the get-go as both Dodonna and Ackbar invoked it before going into battle, but it was never really elaborated on in later movies or the EU. You get a general sense of it in Ahsoka's last arc in TCW, with the bomber being a non-Jedi worker in the temple and what such people must go through to do so. The implication is that they're very much believers, both in the force and in the role of the Jedi.

Who's the guy in black with the helmet and asthma at the end? 
They may show Tatooine at the end but those shots are not Tatooine but of Jedha. Supposedly an ancient Jedi city supposedly holding a huge
Kyber Crystal
Death Star uses Jedha to test it's "SUPER LASER" and Saw and everyone on the planet is killed. Thats them rocketing away at Lightspeed from the destroyed planet in the trailer
Darth Vader will cut Director Orson Krennic in half before going on to try and catch the stolen plans
I just love the shot of the Death Star above Jedha!
I just enjoy this,
So far, yes, although nothing's been confirmed as to what the third stand alone will be about.

You don't know anything of Star Wars do you?
That is the son of General Grievous, Darth Malak.
We only know about two of them so far, but both of them appear to be. We still don't know anything about the Han Solo movie other than a couple of related characters who are possibly in it, so there's always a chance that could tie back into the prequels.
Honestly, unless they do something back in the distant past, I have a feeling most of the anthology movies will probably go back to the OT or sequel trilogy. With the general opinion on the prequels being less than favorable, I don't see Disney having much of a desire to go back to them. So far all of the movies I've heard people talk about, Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, and Yoda, are tied just as much to the OT as the PT.
Although a Yoda movie could potentially be in the distant past. Then again, I'll be surprised if there ever is a movie about Yoda's youth or something, you know what with them wanting him to remain enigmatic. A movie about Yoda, Count Dooku in his youth with padawan Qui-Gon Jinn might be interesting, but probably too prequel-centric for Disney to take interest.
It very well might, but I think that there would need to be a compelling reason to do such a project besides simply connecting up canon dots. Same applies to Rogue One, but the trailers suggest that there might well be, which is great.
