Is that a carbon freezing chamber near the end where Vader is marching towards a (presumably) defeated Krennic?
Rogue One (2016) [SW Anthology Series)
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
Wha? While I'm not the biggest expert on The Hunger Games to begin with, I really don't see Jyn as "Katniss in space." For starters, isn't Katniss supposed to be a teenager? Based on information regarding Jyn's age from the upcoming prequel novel Catalyst, I get the impression she is supposed to be around the same general age as Felicity Jones.
Jyn Erso is obviously "Katniss in Space" and Disney's attempt to capture that demographic.
Just as Ellen Ripley was also obviously "Katniss in Space" and Fox's attempt to capture the same demographic… it's just that it was 29 years before Katniss.

Good thing I'm already all in on this film, because this trailer fell very flat for me. I don't like how Jyn is presented and hope she has a better arc than what is shown in the trailers.
Thank goodness we have a shot showing that Vader is still the bad guy over the new bad guy otherwise I would be really confused
Plenty of great lines that I'm sure will make sense in the movie, but sound like click bait titles in the trailer.
Cool shots, sweeping vistas, the end.

That way I see it, Katniss is obviously just "Chewbacca Not in Space". He has a bowcaster and she has a bow. COINCIDENCE!?!?! So that actually means Jyn is in fact "Chewbacca Also in Space".
Awesome trailer. It was nice to get a better idea of what exactly the Rogue One team is after.
So I wonder if that flashback scene will be the last scene of Catalyst? It sounds like that is what the book will be building too.
I loved seeing so many elements of the OT.
It looks like they're sticking with the more grounded, gritty war movie feel, despite what the rumors were saying.

Awesome trailer and looks like a great, fun movie. Reading over negative comments on it between here and YT, I mostly see "Meninist" bullshit and griping. The movie looks full of action, character, drama and fun. Which is more than can be said about the prequels. Against female heroes in movies? Get over it, I welcome our new female overlords.
But Rogue One is a prequel. Hahaha
All I'm hoping for is for the female character to be better defined than what we've seen. Like Rey was in TFA. Jyn just hasn't been presented well in the trailers, in my opinion.
"Meninist"
Probably because Rey was more easily categorized. All it took was one shot and we all knew she was gonna be the "Luke stuck in Tatooine" character.
Are they seriously complaining that there's a female lead in this movie when she's the *only* female in the main cast? Is four kick arse blokes and a sarcy droid not enough for these people?
It's not even as if the movie would pass that silly bechdel test nonsense since the only other woman in the movie wants to talk to her about her father.

Not for me, any way. Rey felt like a person, while Jyn, thus far, feels very fragmented with no definable characteristics beyond what people say about her-rebellious, dangerous, hopeful.
It has nothing to do with being a woman or not. It has to do with her character.
Her character based on a few shots in the trailers? That's hardly fair, nor likely to be representative.
Don't tell me that you got an accurate sense of Rey's character from the TFA trailers because that's impossible. All we knew about her before the movie came out was "lonely scavenger girl, fangirling at Han Solo and running away from explosions." We weren't even certain at that point she'd be the force user of the film, let alone the main character.
Also, Rey was the main character. That whole movie was more or less about her, while Rogue One seems to be much more of an ensemble film.
Worth the price of admission.
These are my impressions. I'm not anti-Jyn or rejecting the movie. She just doesn't interest me as a character as presented. I have no doubt that the trailers are not doing her justice-trailers are often terrible for that.
Did I claim to be fair? Nope. Just an emotional reaction. Take it for what you will or not at all.
