Star Wars: Rogue One, starring Felicity Jones, directed by Gareth Edwards, written by Chris Weitz announced today: http://www.starwars.com/news/rogue-one-is-the-first-star-wars-stand-alone-film-rian-johnson-to-write-and-direct-star-wars-episode-viii

It's a crazy day for announcements. Wow! God, I hope they're better lit than Godzilla.

Monsters was unmitigated crap and I didn't see Godzilla, so I am less than optimistic. Still, "Rogue" is an X-wing pilot call sign in the SW universe, so if we get like Star Wars Top Gun I will watch the hell out of it.

Οὖτις Δαυ & τηε Κνιγητσ (Phil D.), Thursday, 12 March 2015 17:52 (nine years ago) link

I really liked Monsters, but it's literally impossible to see Godzilla so of course you didn't.

all 3 Marvel titles so far are HELLA fun. amping up my excitement for the film coming later this year in a big way.

three weeks pass...

Yeah that's pretty impressive. Could do without the rawwwk guitar score personally but that's a minor quibble. These guys should be hired to do a SW series in this style.

Speaking of which -- I watched an episode of Star Wars Rebels with my little nephew last week (he's a fan) and I was surprised at how often it got the tone of the original films down.
Definitely entertaining.

The guitar actual is central to it being 80s anime redux, much like the extreme zooms in & out of eyes or the million missile massacre

actual guitar, rather

Holy shit that makes me want to play TIE Fighter so bad

For real accuracy those star destroyers would have been turned 90 degrees to align the full array of their turbolasers on those Rebel ships

Also I don't remember capital ships having ion cannons but I guess why not, I don't think any of the normal TIE starfighters do and you need to capture the brass =)

SW I-VI being release as HD digital-only, available as a collection or individually: http://www.starwars.com/news/the-star-wars-digital-movie-collection-coming-april-10

I might like you better if we Yelped together (Phil D.), Tuesday, 7 April 2015 12:07 (nine years ago) link

Still no original versions. Basically just the Blu-Ray set from a few years back.

Unfortunately yeah. I keep hearing things in the rumor mill that Disney wants to release the unspecialized originals, but there are a lot of roadblocks.

BB8 was pretty cool tbh

yeah totes.

piscesx, Thursday, 16 April 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link

wonder if Lucas is watching.

piscesx, Thursday, 16 April 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link

if i'd known they were gonna be that prompt I might not have bothered lol

The huge crashed spaceships in the desert are properly cool.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:14 (nine years ago) link

i was into it until the crystal skull flashback at the end

da croupier, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:23 (nine years ago) link

the Shia cameo was a surprise yeah

harrison ford so old

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:24 (nine years ago) link

ford showing up was straight the teaser equiv of an edm drop

Clay, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:25 (nine years ago) link

i hope han has become an intergalactic antiquities procurer in his later years, that doesn't seem too far a transition from space pirate. short, round robot is already confirmed.

Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:26 (nine years ago) link

crashed star destroyers and melted vader helmet are the right kind of callbacks, imo, and actually well-designed and cool looking. like this could end up being not very good but at least it looks like fucking star wars and not just in an imitative way. it's pretty clear they let good people (designers etc.) push good ideas forward, and that already puts this just leagues ahead of the "george lucas vetoes and intimidates anybody with anything good on their sketchpad" feel of the prequels.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:27 (nine years ago) link

he says the force is strong in his family w/o talking about his mitochondrial midichlorians so this thing is already in the black if you ask me

goole, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:29 (nine years ago) link

I like the look of Lord Chrometrooper at 1:19.

jmm, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:30 (nine years ago) link

yeah i love the relatively tactile quality it has compared to the prequels, there's a straight-outta-childhood sense memory i get that's thrilling despite myself, but seeing harrison's modern, vaguely spaced-out mug just killed the magic - "oh right, this could be one of those horrible THE GANG'S ALL BACK" movies

"my father HAS it"?

nate woolls, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:30 (nine years ago) link

was chewie wearing mascara?

NotKnowPotato (stevie), Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:32 (nine years ago) link

though speaking of shia it's a credit to the nu-cast that i never was like "get those little shits away from my toys!" before ford's howdy-do

da croupier, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:33 (nine years ago) link

i kinda wonder if it's episode viii i'll dig when jj gets replaced by rian and the old folks presumably shift further into the background

da croupier, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:34 (nine years ago) link

word is JJ's coming back for the third one though

Number None, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:41 (nine years ago) link

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I sort of have the sense they're pretty background as it is... I mean getting a heavy presence in the trailer but I could totally see them as relatively bit parts, or at most like Yoda in Empire - totally key to the story, not shorted on scenes or anything, but not traveling around with our heroes and making throwback references every three lines or w/e. If nothing else, I just think Ford's too lazy for more than that.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:42 (nine years ago) link

he's also attempted to kill himself at least twice during filming

Number None, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:45 (nine years ago) link

I'm at Celebration right now and stayed up all night to go to that opening panel. Let me tell you, the new folks are properly excited to be part of this. Daisy Ridley looked overwhelmed, and John Boyega said he didn't tell his parents he'd been cast until that script reading photo came out, because he didn't think they'd believe him.

Watching that BB-8 operate is amazing. It's like a magic trick. You keep looking for the wires or mirrors.

The energy level in the room when they showed that trailer was unbelievable.

I might like you better if we Yelped together (Phil D.), Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:45 (nine years ago) link

I am excited. Goosebumps is right. And yes old actors are old and so what? Nitpick away. It feels properly Star Wars.

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:53 (nine years ago) link

xp must be amazing to be there. even at home it was incredible how they just switched to the proper HD/1080 trailer at the end of the panel stream on YouTube.
i was expecting it just to fade to black.

piscesx, Thursday, 16 April 2015 18:54 (nine years ago) link

the idea of this taking place amidst the debris + ruins of the originals is p irresistible to me gotta say. like cyclopean masonry. or all the ruined towers/cities/monuments in lotr. doubt there'll be any kind of tech downgrade but wouldn't it be cool if there were. the badly used future. anyway, i'll go to see some shipwrecks. also the x-wing novels were the only star wars books i read as a kid so if "rogue one" is felicity jones as hotshot xwing pilot ummmmmmm well fuck.

difficult listening hour, Thursday, 16 April 2015 19:00 (nine years ago) link

That being said - quite the sense of all out DOOM in this one, no? Bet the bad guys are gong to be extra nasty to our fave characters.

Well spirit Anakin is still around right?

How Butch, I mean (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 16 April 2015 19:23 (nine years ago) link

doubt there'll be any kind of tech downgrade but wouldn't it be cool if there were

I would buy it - toppling the Empire brings freedom but not necessarily material improvements... splinter factions, ongoing civil war, supply lines are all screwed up, local capital is sketched out and plays it safe rather than investing in new planetary infrastructure, kessel runs are made on banks, galactic depression follows, etc. Trick is to pull it off without having it feel like the efforts of our heroes in the original trilogy were all for nothing.
