505thAirborne Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Everything about that trailer was awesome!!! Quote
CoryHolmes Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I like the juxtaposition of the music from the teaser to this trailer. The first one used a piano reprise of the Main Theme, and this one used a piano reprise of the Imperial March Quote
JB0 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Man, did you see that black-helmeted guy in the end? I sure hope we see more of him, he looks awesome! Oh, and bring back Kyle Katarn. Quote
GMK Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 That shot of the 'small moon' orbiting the planet is spectacular. Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Watching that Star Destroyer coming out of the shadows is like seeing the Macross in the opening of DYRL, loved it! Quote
electric indigo Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 All the right buttons pushed! I wonder if they adapted the idea of Vader's castle with the shot of the Star Destroyer hovering over the rock fortress. Quote
TangledThorns Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 The characters seem rather dry but so far it looks better than TFA. Quote
electric indigo Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 the rock fortress. Ok apparently that is the city from the opening shot of the trailer. Man these SDs are huge. Also, I'm with Jeremy Jahns: Quote
TangledThorns Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Kinda annoyed by the whole human character team, where are the aliens? The Rebellion would do better if they recruited outside the human race Quote
Mommar Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Watching that Star Destroyer coming out of the shadows is like seeing the Macross in the opening of DYRL, loved it! Given the angle/etc... I'm pretty sure that's a direct rip of that scene in DYRL. Quote

the_foul_fowl Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Wowzers, already looking and feeling better than TFA! Donnie Yen as a force monk! I'm calling it now... Donnie Yen vs Vader =D Quote
peter Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 That shot of the 'small moon' orbiting the planet is spectacular. That was pretty cool. Don't recall ever seeing the Death Star from that angle. Felt more real for some reason. Also, was pretty cool to see the Tie fighter rise up and hover there....something else I don't recall seeing, in live action anyway. Happy to see original X-Wings in flight again! Quote
electric indigo Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 That shot of the 'small moon' orbiting the planet is spectacular. While it is, it also raises the question if the "dish" is supposed to point upwards or downwards... Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Wow, one of the items in that trailer would have been real useful on Hoth... Quote
miles316 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Wowzers, already looking and feeling better than TFA! Donnie Yen as a force monk! I'm calling it now... Donnie Yen vs Vader =D Unless that stick has a light Saber at the end its going to be a short fight. Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Given the angle/etc... I'm pretty sure that's a direct rip of that scene in DYRL. Just this once I'll let it slide! Quote
seti88 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Wowzers, already looking and feeling better than TFA! Donnie Yen as a force monk! I'm calling it now... Donnie Yen vs Vader =D Haha yesss do it!! And donnie will use his secret feather duster and spank vader!! Heheh.. Tow cables FTMW! Can't imagine that taking down a walker unless he was trying to distract it...but yea ftw just for its bravado! Quote
GabrielV Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Watching that Star Destroyer coming out of the shadows is like seeing the Macross in the opening of DYRL, loved it! I thought the same thing. I wonder if that's the traditional first shot after the opening crawl. I wonder if it's an intentional homage? Quote
Dynaman Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I thought the same thing. I wonder if that's the traditional first shot after the opening crawl. I wonder if it's an intentional homage? More likely an homage to the Star Destroyer coming out of the shadow of Vader's Super Star Destroyer Quote
JB0 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 While it is, it also raises the question if the "dish" is supposed to point upwards or downwards... It's space. There is no up or down, you can orient the Death Star however you please. And I'm pretty sure that was basically the point of the shot, as otherwise why shoot it "weird". Quote
electric indigo Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I think the deck orientation in the Death Star is horizontal, so from the crew's perspective, the dish is on the upper or lower hemisphere. Of course you could also do an inverted pass with a Star Destroyer. Quote

hutch Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Executor? Not in that timeframe. Aren't all the old, well known timeframes pretty much shot now, by Rebels and the like? Rebels had A-wings and B-wings (albeit prototypes) prior to ANH by some number of years...I'm sure they could throw the Executor out there if they wanted to and just say "yeah, it was off camera in ANH and ESB"... Quote
GabrielV Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 More likely an homage to the Star Destroyer coming out of the shadow of Vader's Super Star Destroyer Unless you're talking about a different shot, the one I'm thinking you're referring to is from near the beginning of Empire when the Executor is introduced. The Star Destroyer doesn't come out of the shadow of the SSD. It is eclipsed by the SSD. It has a shadow cast over it, not emerge from a shadow. Still, you are right. It's the same technique as the ESB shot: show the impressively large Star Destroyer and then show something so large it dwarfs it. I dunno. The shot from the trailer plays much faster, but it's very similar to the sequence of SDF-1 emerging from the shadow of Saturn. It's even from a very similar angle, in front and to the port side. Yeah, could very well be a coincidence, but to me it's a semi-interesting one. I like the perception I'm getting that this movie has it's own look inspired by other sources rather than the cynical and lazy mimicry of Force Awakens. Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I'm thinking that same shot has prob been filmed in a lot of sci-fi films Quote
