On Twitter, 'Rouge One' is trending.

Looks okay, btw.

The imagery is fantastic. The design fits in with the time period perfectly. That scene with the shadow of the dish passing across the Death Star was stunning.

My only concern is that the main character seems a bit too "cool". Very teen friendly. But, I didn't like Daisy Ridley in the TFA trailers either, but she totally won me over in the movie, so I'll keep an open mind.

So looking forward to this.

That looks incredible, in fact I think I'm more excited for this than I was for The Force Awakens.

Wow, that looks great. Felicity Jones is gorgeous too.

Nice to see something a bit different and a little less "mystical" in the Star Wars canon.

(Loved seeing Mon Mothma again)

Didn't do a lot for me to be honest.

Spotted some Imperial Royal Guards there, maybe the Emperor himself will be in it - http://www.imagebam.com/image/87b12c476436218

And one of the sets looked a lot like North Greenwich Station on the Jubilee Line dressed up. I've always said it looks like a Star Wars set - http://www.imagebam.com/image/a0a937476436214

I like what I saw in that teaser.
Now to see how the full trailer looks when it launches. I wonder if that will be out on 4th May

My first thought was Canary Wharf station but it could be either. Definitely somewhere on the Jubilee line extension.

Looks like it has some potential does this, and I hadn't intended on watching it. Will be interesting to see whether they run a trilogy with it (Rogue 2, Rogue 3?) or whether it's just a stand alone film.

One thing I am certainly not expecting to see though, is any Jedi. For whatever reason, I think the Jedi arc should be kept specifically for the actual Star Wars movies, and allow these other films to focus on the Bounty Hunters and Pirates (etc) of the Star Wars Universe.

Meh, it looked ok i thought.

What is it with always trying to make female leads come across tough and cool in these type of films ? it's so unoriginal and predictable. Every single Star Wars lead female has been pretty much the same. It's why i didn't really like Rey in episode 6, it's like they are trying too hard to make her amazing. How quickly she picked things up was just a bit ridiculous for me, it's like there was nothing she couldn't do. Fly the Millenium Falcon for the first time, easy for her, fighting people, easy for her, speaking Wookie, easy for her, using a lightsaber for the first time, easy for her, using the force, easy for her. It's ridiculous.

Rogue One also look's like it has a lack of aliens in it too. Where is your Admiral Ackbar's and Nien Nunb's ?

I'm sure it will be a good movie as was Episode 7, but like Episode 7 i think there is something missing, like it's not quite Star Wars.

Actually, I think you're right - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._look_west.JPG

It seems to me that Disney don't really get Star Wars.

It's a Lord of the Rings fantasy about people, but they are making Action Film #64 / Action Film #65 etc...

Tedious. I'm sure it'll do well.

I just had a thought. It would be pretty stupid if Leia and Vader don't make an appearance in this movie. Leia was the one who ended up with the stolen Death Star plans and Vader is the Emperor's right hand man so would surely be one of the main people involved in such an important mission.

I hope Vader is darker, because he's rather camp in A New Hope. If anybody requires proof, watch the scene on the ship at the beginning when the Stormtroopers bring Princess Leia to him. He puts his hands on his waist and does that kind of diva "Huh!" thing with his hip.

Dave Prowse often did that as the Green Cross Code Man too. Perhaps you'd like to tell him not to?

I really hope so. I hope this trailer isn't like a episode 7 where we had no Luke Skywalker and then we find out that he only had one scene and never said a single word in the whole movie

First part of the trailer is definitely Cardington Studios. Due to them leaving an X Wing outside during filming and locals posting pics on Facebook

Looks good

Liked

+ Old Classic Trilogy Star Wars, great to see the Death Star under construction, Yavin base, Mon Mothma etc,

+ Seems to have a grittier feel,

+ Forest Whitaker

+Looks like we're going to see Shadow Troopers at last

+ AT-ATs!!!!

Disliked:

- AT-AT walkers seem too CG especially when the lead one turns its 'head'

- No suggestion that Kyle Katarn is going to be in it, and therefore a canon character
