What about the stupid, misguided fools who will believe ANYTHING Hillary says? Or the crazy, racists, black trash votes who vote Democrat no matter who the candidate is? Anyone foolish enough to vote for the lying Hillary has some serious issues.
Rich Gawel Long Baugh • 4 days ago see moreYou know, it is possible to acknowledge Hilary's shady dealings and still think she's a better candidate than Trump. Her crookedness isn't any worse than typical everyday political gamesmanship. We've seen it before, we'll see it again. And while she's padding her pockets, she'll still manage to run the country at the very least competently. If you don't mind the status quo, she'll be okay.MalcomXlax Long Baugh • 4 days ago see moreWhy did this Star Wars thread suddenly get political??? Oh yeah, Reel Catcher flipped the script for no apparent reason. Like every presidential race, we're voting for the lesser of two evils.

Emperor Xerro Long Baugh • 5 days ago see moreAhhh those racist Democrats. Always trying to build walls, deport Muslims, making fun of handicapped people, denying homosexuals are people, and making sure minorities can't vote while telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies.
Well, those aren't the figures I'm seeing across cnn, fox or bbc... But! I and the rest of the world hope your right
Troll Prince REEL CATCHER • 6 days ago see more"The Rest of The World". Speak for yourself. Or post a poll. I'm well aware of the numbers globally. But just because majorities in migrant nations dislike Trump doesn't mean everyone does.
Who is endorsing him? I live in So Cal and literally do not know one person who has ever admitted that they're going to vote for him. I tend to be on the conservative side, but I can't in good conscience vote for him.
Robo Kong The Ultimate Math Teacher • 6 days ago see moreI live in California and have lots of neighbors voting for him. Many won't admit it openly, but they're still voting for him. I think the polls are off because of how many people don't like admitting it, but DO intend to vote for him on Election Day. And since they hate Hillary so much, that includes some Dem neighbors crossing over, too.
And if you "tend to be on the conservative side" and "can't in good conscience" vote for him, then I hope that same "conscience" prevents you from voting for a serial liar and crook like Hillary, and that you're at least voting third party and Gary Johnson.The Ultimate Math Teacher Robo Kong • 6 days ago see moreHa. I was just going to say that there's still no way I'd vote for Billary either. Yikes. I'll check out Gary Johnson. Thanks for the tip.Rich Gawel Robo Kong • 4 days ago see moreWhy would people not admit who they're voting for in an anonymous poll? Wouldn't they want to be honest about who they're voting for, if only to help the perception of that candidate's success?
It's not at all about being spoon-fed, it would take one simple bumper at the beginning of the trailer. You have to remember that you're not a casual viewer, you're a hardcore film lover. You've known about this film for yrs now. There are people who just heard about this movie today and it doesn't make sense when you see Vader. You guys are being way too harsh about this very simple, rational point.
You can tell in the show just try not to have a exposition dump
Come on man, you really want this dumbed down more? Audiences have been dealing with prequels and spinoffs non stop for like, at least the last 20 years. They will figure it out. Such a non issue.
Goonchild JediRob • 7 days ago see moreExactly! Trailers are SUPPOSED to set up enough mystery to get you to want to see the film!! It's a Star Wars story!
If you liked ANY of the films you can go see it to answer any stupid questions you may have. Why is Vader back? Go see it to find out. Where's Rey? Go see it and find out. Why does everyone need all the answers right up front?! Gah! Live with a little mystery in your life! Part of the fun is the JOURNEY to the answers!Jamie JediRob • 7 days ago see moreYes it's already incredibly dumbed down..not sure they can take that much farther.
They're fucking stupid if they can't figure it out.

In fact, I just showed this to my wife and she says, "Didn't they blow that up in the first movie, and why is Darth Vader back?" . . . she thinks this movie is AFTER The Force Awakens . . . .

We know when it's set but Joe Public 'where's Rey?!' needs it to be made really obvious - and voiceover man could have done that.Spewbacca Storm The Wire • 7 days ago see moreI actually miss the 'In a world' voice intro.
Since it became synonymous with being a bad part of pop culture during the release of the original The Fast and the Furious... it's become a bad taste and a mockery to all who say it.
I say BRING IT BACK! We need more IN A WORLD....
OldDickLemon cobra--kai • 7 days ago see moreGotta agree with this. I watched this trailer with my 7 year old and he was lost. Maybe the boys a bit of a water head, but considering building Death Stars is common place in the universe it might need a bit more than young Mon Mothma to clarify its place in the time line.VonDan OldDickLemon • 7 days ago see moreIt will end with a young Princess Leia receiving the transmission sent from that tower behind the walkers. then her ship speeds off to TatoonieGigantic Cahuna VonDan • 4 days ago see moreSPOILERS.

I thought that the major weapons test they think they are investigating actually is the Walkers, and they stumble onto the Death Star (still secret) by accident as a result?

This is a valid point, I've had to explain to two casual fans that this is a prequel film. And these aren't people who are idiots, they just don't follow it religiously the way I (we) do.
I think they expected the shot of Vader to make it clear. Not sure it worked that way.

I don't know. Star Wars has always had a screwed up continuity. 4-5-6-1-2-3-7
Why not make 3.75 next?
Then 8.

Showed this to my daughter. She goes to her room when SW comes on. The only So movie she's actually watched is 7. She knew exactly when this takes place.
They really should NOT give Rogue One a standard Star Wars intro (Star Field/Logo/ Crawl). They should come up with something totally new so everyone knows: This is not one of the main episodes...
I was in grade school when the original trilogy came out, we had no
problem understanding the concept that it was supposed to be a "middle
trilogy" (ep.4-6), of 9 chapters total, or that the comics, novels, and TV spin-offs were all set at
different chronological points relative to the films....this was before the damn internet! You had to get your genre info from magazines like Starlog, Bantha Tracks, etc. This is not that complicated at all.

Yes, I suppose you're correct, TESB had an Episode V on it and we all just kind of took it in stride with no problems. Good point.Harrison Bergeron one9deuce • 2 days ago see moreAnd of course just seeing ESB labeled as "Episode V" wouldn't inform us of the 9-chapter (sometimes 12, depending on the source) master plan. It had to come from somewhere else... a Starlog interview or maybe one of the "making of" TV documentaries?one9deuce Harrison Bergeron • 2 days ago see moreLuckily the plans for the Saga got around pretty quickly by word of mouth, one informed Starlog reader could get the whole school up to speed in a hurry. It was definitely a different time.
that's what the fucking internet is for. look it up. Jesus.
Really? I feel like the shot of Vader and the death Star kinda give it away
No No No People need to do a better job of waking the fuck up and realizing it's set before A New Hope. Spoon Fed Gonkazoids.
Just tell them that this takes place after Ep 7 and they introduced time travel in the Star Wars universe to travel back in time to do something they already did.
but what the hell i was 8 when i watched empire ..and funny enough my mum had a job in some big german supermarket for 3 hours and i got to pick up a matel figure after her shift..
Frankly, I'm about STAR WARS'd the fuck out. Double goes for comic book movies, sequels, prequels, side-quels, reboots, remakes, reboots of remakes, remakes of reboots, ongoing movie series based on young adult novels, found footage horror movies, movies based on TV series, TV series based on movies, filmmakers that weren't alive in the Eighties making movies and TV shows set in the Eighties designed to evoke nostalgia for the Eighties, remakes where the big original idea is to swap genders, movies based on popular video games, memes and emojis, CGI movies referred to as "animated movies", script notes from studio douchebags that use the term "doesn't track" or "character arc" and anybody who thinks using orange and teal color palettes or that silver-nitrate washed out grainy look shit that Fincher did back on SEVEN is still a "thing". There are probably millions of unmade, well-written original screenplays floating around out there that could be made by any one of a vast contingent of talented guys and gals who either busted their asses in film school or busted them a lot harder by working their way up the ladder on sets to learn the forgotten art of making movies, and I'd rather not wait a couple more years until the studio system implodes from mega-tentpole-blockbuster overkill to see them.
Indy Skywalker Schwifty • 7 days ago see moreTo those talented guys and gals who busted their asses in film school or working up the ladder, I say make your own stuff on the side and put it up on the web. Sure, it may not make money (or you may lose money) and will most likely be a labor of love, but at least you can get your own unique vision out there and feel like a goddamn artist.JR72S Schwifty • 6 days ago see moreMan I could see a new Star Wars movie every 3-4 months for the next 5 years and not get tired of them.
I hope I live long enough for them to reboot the franchise and unpukify Anakin.Paul H. Brown Schwifty • 7 days ago see moreThis rant is like saying, "There's nothing original on the radio today!" and then reveal that you're only listening to a single station. I'm lucky enough to be living in a city with a breadth of indie and rep theatres that show a lot of interesting work. I don't rely on the local multiplexes to sate my appetite for cinema. Or DO I?Troll Prince Paul H. Brown • 6 days ago see moreThing is, they used to make original movies for the multiplex. I like big studio movies. I like tentpole movies. I just don't like what they are doing with them these days.Schwifty Paul H. Brown • 5 days ago see moreEnjoy that shit while it lasts, because if the studio system doesn't implode in a couple more years, you'll either be reduced to watching it on TV or YouTube. There won't be room for anything at the box office but crazy CGI superhero movies and there won't be any money in producing anything else except the occasional decent TV series or iPhone-wielding kids cranking out shit for damn near free.
My rant is actually more like bitching about how there's nothing original on the radio today because illegal downloading wiped out all the middle-class labels and now, all that's left are the two or three high-end corporations cranking out Top Forty shit that gets 100 pecent of the remaining radio airplay and marketing, and a jillion unsigned bands floating around on Bandcamp and self-releasing albums that you'll never hear about because there's nowhere left to sell them. Ever "discover" a new band on iTunes, YouTube or even Pandora? Good luck.
The same thing is happening to the movie industry, except for different reasons: streaming made video stores obsolete and the profit margin for anything made for under 100 million became too small to keep it worthwhile, even as the budgets for today's blockbusters have skyrocketed and made it impossible for the smaller guy to compete. There may or may not be more indy movies out there today than ever (like the music industry, the technology to make something broadcast quality is cheap and available to everyone), but there are most definitely fewer and fewer places to sell or screen those films.
Eventually, the streaming market (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon) is going to spend more money to license bigger movies to attract more customers, as well as financing more and more of their self-produced content, and that market will be off the table. The roadshow indy distributors like A24 won't have theatrical venues because most arthouse theaters are struggling to stay afloat (and being muscled out by rampant cineplexes), and as I just illustrated above, their home video options are even more limited. Hell, in two years, even the giant blockbusters are going to have a tough time competing for the average ticket-buyers' cash -- there's going to be waaaaaay too many of them out at the same time.
Lest you think that's just more insane old man rambling, let's look at the 2018 release slate for big budget studio movies: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, READY PLAYER ONE, PACIFIC RIM 2, AQUAMAN, TOY STORY 4, DEADPOOL 2, BLACK PANTHER, THE FLASH, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 3, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, JURASSIC WORLD 2, THE PREDATOR, FIFTY SHADES FREED, JUNGLE BOOK: ORIGINS, MARY POPPINS RETURNS, TOMB RAIDER, BATTLE ANGEL ALITA, FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM 2, THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2, an animated SPIDER-MAN movie, HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3, THE WOLF MAN, WRECK-iT RALPH 2, whatever they're gonna call that STAR WARS Han Solo movie, a TRANSFORMERS Bumblebee spinoff movie, MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, GIGANTIC, MADAGASCAR 4, INDEPENDENCE DAY 3, GAMBIT, THE INVISIBLE MAN, UPRISING and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6. Twenty of those are scheduled to come out a week apart.
So, like I said, enjoy watching those indy movies while you still can.johnwaynewasgay Schwifty • 5 days ago see moreFuck me that is a whole lot of elitist bullshit.How dare people be entertained by movies when great movies about Polish turnip farmers are being ignored.Also coming here and complaining about too much Star Wars and Comic Book movies is kind of like going to I.G.N and complaining there are too many video games and not enough board games being made.Gigantic Cahuna johnwaynewasgay • 2 days ago see moreI preferred Polish Turnip Farmer II - Beetroot Revenge.

Longshanks Schwifty • 7 days ago see moreYou forgot to add "pre-boots".
There use to be a show on AMC called Sunday Morning Shootout with two guys that were Hollywood Movie producers. They use to interview actors and such and get some really good insight on how Hollywood actually worked.
On one episode,I remember them talking about how there are literally tens of thousands of screenplays stacked on the floors of all of the producer in H-Wood,and almost none of them ever get read because screenplays,more or less,have to get "vouched for".
That show was absolutely great and had incredible insight about how shit goes down. Wish it was still on.WayWardWest Schwifty • 6 days ago see moreLove the rant... but dammit... I'm a sucker for Star Wars.
