The trailer for Rogue One is up.  I've already watched it 5 times.  Does Rogue One get its own thread or is this one all encompassing Star Wars thread?

Its own thread sounds right. Wasn't too keen on this, but after seeing the trailer, wow. Loved Monsters and Godzilla (unlike many), should naturally like Rogue One, same director. The casting is excellent. Hannibal, King of Scotland, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen. Like the more serious, more intense tone too. Those Star Destroyers look like flies next to the Death Star.

Jon Erso looks cool, but I am still Team Rey.  At least for now.

I just love that both movies so far are featuring woman roles.  Very cool.

It's kind of weird that both movies are in the same universe, but Rogue One seems a lot darker. I hope there is some levity. Just enough soberness, like Empire Strikes Back.

This looks like something I will see in the theater atleast 4 times.

Of course I find it a little sad that we had to get the franchise out of Lucas's hands to get good Star Wars Movies again!

Who am I kidding, as long as they are good Star Wars movies, Lucas can take a hike (still a little bitter about prequels and Indiana Jones#4 !)

I agree with you. While I am not a fan of SW 1 or 2, 3 was a very decent movie. I just thought there were serious casting choices for young Anakin. Older Anakin actor, Hayden did what he could with the material he had. However he was played as a winey, emo-brat in need of riddlin!

But I agree Clone Wars the Cartoon serious has been excellent.
I will say this for Lucas, his prequel movies and the clone wars series has made my children Star Wars Fans. Something that the original trilogy has not.

My kids were on cloud 9 watching the Rough One trailer early this morning!

This movie is probably going to do better internationally w/respect box office than TFA. Especially in Asia. Although it's kind of a prequel, the plot is simple enough you don't need to know the Star Wars lore, it seems pretty much figure out how to blow up the Death Star.

One of the big appeals of Star Wars is epic f**ing light sabers and Jedi, so was less enthusiastic about Rogue One, but beginning to think the Star Wars universe, plus a good director, cast and writing can make this almost as good as the original.

It's the story on how they got the plans to the death star. Also, to basically scout WTF this thing was. 

This might get a big amount of fan fare from the people who read the books. The Rogue Squadron book series was one of the most popular set of books in the Star Wars universe.

Space battle fights are just as awesome and exciting as light saber battles. I think one of the biggest elements was the shear size in which Lucas made that opening panning sequence and the space battle fight scenes he had. They were just equally as impressive as the light saber battles.

TFA is the third highest grossing movie of all time. You think this is going to beat that? Or by "internationally" do you mean strictly overseas?

Strictly overseas. If you see the way they list it in Box Office Mojo, there's a line item for Domestic and one for International. TFA did respectably in China, but no home run, not even a triple if you ask me given the promotion - see stormtroopers on the Great Wall.

Plus TFA's release was delayed by a month in China, it opened in January due to the 12 (or whatever the number is) Hollywood movies a year limit - assuming RO doesn't make the opening day mistake, again. With Donnie Yen and Wen Jiang in the RO cast, more appeal to Asia and Asia alone might be able to pull international BO over TFA. Renminbe the force! :-D

    • He wasn't a bad guy. And he was just trying to get out there and get some fresh air and exercise. He ended up liking the new cane a lot, because in addition to not making pock marks on the greens, it also stood up by itself. He didn't have to hand it to somebody to hold while he hit his shot. Or lean it against the cart. It would just stand up by itself. ... Kind of like those stand up putters. ... 🤣
    • Sounds like you guys came up with a great solution.
