MarleyMoose Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 A little bit me was wanted them to use the Maw Installation idea from the Jedi Academy books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Shoretroopers ? Well I guess Scout Troopers no longer have the lamest name in the entire empire. At least people pretty much can guess what Scout Troopers do just by name. It looks like Shoretroopers hang around the beach until the real Stormtroopers arrive via the sea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like a large scale battle from what I've seen but I'm sure the AT-ATs will be in there from the earlier trailer we saw. I thought these were quite entertaining: People have too much spare time on their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 People have too much spare time on their hands.They are probably doing this stuff while waiting in the queue at Celebration Europe. Lots of time to waste there and plenty of geeks to feed a good designer ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Well, you have probably heard about the spoiler info during the panel about the death of a key character? There was also another trailer exclusively shown to panel attendees that was not part of the live feed. Here is the teaser trailer 2, in all it's phone cam glory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Didn't want to watch it that way but if they aren't going to put it out then I guess that's all I've got. Last few seconds....chills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'm stoked. Hope the re-shoots are just standard and not a sign of plot issues. Per the vehicle comments above. IMO the problem is just the length of time between OT and now. Everything is too iconic. They really can't win either way. If they remake the classics, then they aren't doing anything new. Rogue One has a bunch of new troopers though, and everyone will nit on that (where did they go for ep 4-6??). If they DO make something new (Ghost, Kylo Ren's ship, etc) everyone pretty much hates on it right away. So I really don't know what they can do for Ep 8. I guess it's a "I'll know it when I see it" thing. The thing about the Falcon, was that it became a character in and of itself. I guess they need to find a way to do that.

Some speculators and people looking closely at the teaser reel also mentioned a certain Organa might be returning and maybe played by the actor from ROTS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything except his head of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 All they need to do for Rogue One is have The Ghost drops off one of the character, They do not need to show Hera or any of the crews, just the ship flying off. BAM! instant continuity plug And yes, I still have a few Ghost and Phantom sets somewhere in my stash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not deep on the EU stuff, I just don't get how they explain stuff like Leia being in the show, and by Ep 4 all Jedi are gone from the universe. Anyway, I can take that to the Rebels thread. :-) Go Rogue One!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you'd have to do is go to the outer rim and it would be near impossible for the empire to find you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vader didn't even find Obi Wan even though he was hanging out a few miles from Uncle Owen's house. He didn't even find his son for that matter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_14 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I always explained that by one of Leia's force powers being that she's good at concealing herself in the Force, in this case without even being aware she has force powers. She's that powerful!!! How else to explain her "considerable" resistance to the probe droid? Like how all the Jedi could stand beside Palpatine and not know what he was, or that he even has force powers. I don't think force projection suppression is a particularly good or dark side trait. Technically there are no other Jedi by Episode IV other than Obi-wan and Yoda. Luke is not a Jedi knight until ROTJ. Kanan was only a padawan and was never knighted, the same with Ahsoka, and Ezra isn't even a padawan technically. So what Yoda said about Luke being the last Jedi Knight is true, from a certain point of view. There are clearly other force users running around, but knights are in short supply as their fire has gone out of the universe.
