  1. I'm not quite sure how they contradict it. And I couldn't care less whether it was covered in the EU or not. Most it was was hardly at the level of fan fiction, and a goddamned embarrassment. And better yet, none of it means anything anymore. People of talent are tackling this story, and I'm jazzed for it. And, btw, the original trilogy pretty much followed the exploits of a group of pilots. So yeah, Star Wars has done that before, too. For the record, I also owned and loved Tie Fighter, and golded the hell out of Rogue Squadron. Lots of love there.
  2. Clarification on the Hamill lines: What we mainly hear in the teaser trailer is the original voice recording from Jedi, but, as already discussed, re-ordered to fit what they wanted. The reverb you hear on those lines is what Hamill recorded in the last few weeks. They had to re-record it several times because Hamill kept doing it past tense, not present.
  3. From /Film: Very interesting, I like it. Also news of note, John Knoll, 30-year ILM veteran and Chief Creative Officer of the company originally came up with this idea and pitched it before the switch-over happened. After Kathleen Kennedy took over, she made this film's production a priority, and thus the spin-off films were born.
  4. Hamill said he kept reading it as "My father had it," which was obviously wrong, forcing them to re-record it several times. Clearly, they want to directly recall that scene from Jedi. That said, I think we're also supposed to get the feeling that he's talking to someone new, not Leia. Double meaning to the use of that quote. I have my own theories, and I know there are spoilers out there that I have avoided like the plague, but I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
  5. I find that utterly baffling, but whatever. That it's a team going after the Death Star plans isn't exactly new news. That's been heavily rumored for months. New bit of news: Greig Fraser, who shot Zero Dark Thirty, is the cinematographer.
  6. Better version of the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivv51UmwTrw Also, to clarify, the spin-off films are referred to as "Star Wars Anthology" films. Rogue One itself is not an anthology.
  7. I just can't take this seriously. I maybe could have, given the source material, if not for Man of Steel. But because of it I can't get over the fact that this is another dark, gritty, and brooding Superman movie.
  8. We need to recast this show using MW members
  9. It's Star Wars, it's fantasy. The starship designs aren't supposed to "make sense." You guys have seen these movies before, right? This isn't the planet you're looking for
  10. A full motion movie poster. Gee wiz, what a teaser. And dropped on the same day as the new Star Wars trailer. Brilliant
