wrong death star, retard. that's what rogue two is for, when they remake dash rendar into a black woman.

i counted 5 not including vader

i can only recall 2 at most without rewatching the trailer or including vader, since they got JEJ to do the voice again, it doesn't even matter who's in the suit.

which makes me wonder who is actually walking around in the suit.

Not good enough. Every single actor has to be pure bred aryan except for one woman who stays on the ship for comfort duty and to get punched in the face whenever she gets uppity.

fantastic

Found the jew/goon.

joon

After the complete cockup that was Suicide Squad which was also a movie about muh ragtag gang of misfits in a franchise that also can't decide if it wants to be familyfriendly or grimdark i have mixed feelings about this.

did you ever think suicide squad would be good?

With all the reshoots this will be a mess too, you can count on that.

They aren't even being subtle about ripping off the EU.

I counted 2 not including vader, one of them is one of the villains, and the other one looks almost arab.

NOT TOO LONG AGO IT WAS A WOMAN WHO WOULD SAY THAT. FUCKING CUCK

vader is black you dumb mofo

This is starting to become a bit pathetic tbh famila

Naw man, deep down dat nigga want to be white numsayin?

shaddup, cunt.

What did he mean by this?

They're in charge.

Why does it look so dark, it's like they've turned down the brightness.

could this be CISbusters 2.0?

China ban over feminism and too many black actors?

Calm down.

Personally I always wanted to see a Star Wars movie that focused more on the ground soldier apsect. Don't get me wrong I like the Jedi and all but it gets tiring at times. The war stuff is something they could explore in more detail. I don't know I'm a sucker for war movies.

That and I like the gritty look of it compared to the force awakens.

We can only hope.

...

A lot of star wars fans feel that way. It's why the original battlefront became the #1 SW game sold.

I'm not a fan of the Star Wars universe.
I am however a yuge fan of watching big budget movies tank.

Where is Mads?

DROPPED

FeMC's a lot more tolerable now that they're not trying to sell her as another uber-perfect badass woman. Then again, she's bland like the entire cast of the movie.

Also they're all probably going to die at the end of the movie anyways, so that's a plus.

It really depends on whether the actual Death Star stuff is interesting.

Guarantee there will be a scene in the movie where she beats the shit out of Vader. She will cripple him, and this will be used as an excuse to say that Luke was basically a pussy without the help of a stronk woman to weaken Vader for him. That and she will be the one responsible for destroying the Death Star through sabotage. Also she will end up being Rey's mother, and Rey will be the chosen one; the chosen one being like Avatar the Last Airbender now.

...

Me too.
I would love to see this movie be succesfull but with the rumours about reshoots to make it less grimdark i don't expect much anymore.

They are going to reshoot and edit this to hell to make it PG-13 and to sell as many toys as possible.

Looks more like a generic summer action flick than an SW movie.

That music is pretty terrible and where are the fucking aliens?

...

Do you feel in charge user?

...

Why is every scene so poorly lit?

Why is the dialogue so dull and wooden?

Why did they take music from Star Wars and make it as bland as possible?

Why do asians only do kung fu even in Star Wars?

Why do they have a samurai who is literally just portrayed as a Jedi without a lightsaber?

Why do they fight stormtroopers with sticks when they could get shot from a long distance?

Why do the planets look so flat and uninspired?

Why do the starfighters look so CGI?

Why do the AT-ATs look so CGI?

Why is the droid puppet a Joss Whedon™ quirky asshole?

Why does the bazooka shooting the AT-AT look so video gamey?

Why does the main character make me want to punch her in the face every time she opens her mouth?

Why is the fate of the galaxy placed on the shoulders of a bunch of criminal nobodies that even the rebels don't trust?

...

Because plot and merchandising and also mentally challenged test audiences loved it.

Basically she'll be replacing Starkiller from the games.

It's like tumblr's wet dream.

You forgot

...

...

But Star Wars always had the underdog vs top dog theme with the rebels vs the empire.

And TFA utterly failed to turn the tables and make the Empire the underdog then.

Fuck the Jews.

In the very first scene of episode IV we see the rebels trying to fight off stormtroopers and they're all white.

In rogue one all the rebels are PoC except the leader who's a white girl. The Empire is entirely white males.

Exactly, the Empire should've been portrayed as the under dog trying to take back power since the Republic was supposedly reformed, yet they're shown to still be just as strong, if not more so, as in the old movies and it pretty much shows how stagnant the time between the old trilogy and the new trilogy was. In the OT countless shit happened within the few years between each film and countless imperial defeats, yet 30 years passed between them and you expect me to believe that they kept failing horribly and that Luke pussied out and ran away because one crazy kid went psycho because some guy (who Abrams says is not a sith because Sith are supposed to be extinct) told him to go bad? The kid isn't even a real sith yet can do all the shit a sith can because Abrams logic and he can even stop a fucking moving laser in time and in midair despite that never having been a thing and yet you expect the audience to not believe this freak is a sith?

I don't know if the Expanded Universe counts but they had some blacks in their ranks. And they eventually began recruiting aliens as they were losing the war. And also Grand Admiral Thrawn who was an alien kept the fight going for the Empire.

Personally, I would've gone more with a Cold War type of thing but yeah Abrams fucked up. Hopefully Rian Johnson can clean up his mess.

At the very least I could've settled for a cold war.

Not going to happen, he's going to be a good goyim and listen to the sweet nothings Jew Jew whispers in his ears.

Maybe 20 years down the line, after the last Jew has been gassed, we can retcon Star Wars.

Thrawn was basically the new lead of the Empire after everything started breaking down but it was perfectly done then. Another thing is that minorities like Thrawn were allowed to serve highly within the empire since the Chiss Ascendancy has always had views similar to the Empire and thus made great willing allies which were rare in the galaxy since many were Senate lapdogs.

This. I doubt they'll have them get killed by Vader. It's very unlikely she'll turn to the Dark Side as well, since Disney doesn't want their new tiara princess tarnished.

She's probably going to use her skills to outsmart Vader and escape with the plans, completely undermining him and making him look like a buffoon.

In Episode IV they had some Asians in the Yavin IV control room too, where they were discussing the Death Star plans.

Ahh shit. I was hoping Rian could salvage this I mean he's a decent director. I guess I'll stick with the Thrawn Trilogy then.

The point is what people are watching in theaters by the millions is PoC led by white martyr female vs culture comprised entirely of white men.

I guarantee you the white guy in the cape is going to be demeaned, his nose will be pushed in the dirt in some way and the whole thing is framed to make the audience cheer when it happens. They come out of the theaters with a fresh round of white women + PoC = good, white men = bad brainwashing in their heads.

I seriously hope they don't make Vader a pussy. The prequels fucked Vader over already, he doesn't need to get fucked over anymore.

I sincerely doubt the "heroes" will ever be in any real danger. Disney policy is to make the villains as non-threatening and inept as possible so the 20 year old leftist children don't get triggered.

Didn't know that, thanks user.

Regarding JJ and Rian Johnson I was hoping it could be something like Episode 4 and 5 were Lucas was in charge of Episode 4 and it only got saved in editing while Episode 5 wasn't directed by Lucas and it was legitimately good on its own. My analogy being JJ is Lucas and Rian is the guy who directed Episode 5.

...

Not even gonna bother watching it. Disney just milking the fuck out of Star Wars and ruining it with their lack of imagination and POZ kills any desire I have for new Star Wars.

Exactly. At best they may kill off one supporting character or pretend to but any real sense of danger for the MC is non-existent. Even though these shits dying for their cause might make this movie remotely worth watching.

They literally are milking it. They plan to keep releasing sequels and spinoffs as long as they make money rather than just end it after their shitty new trilogy. They don't care about quality or story. They just wanna mutilate this cow and get all they can out of it.

Holy shit Donnie yun or whatever's performance is fucking wooden!

...

Because plot shitlord! ORMGHZ its a fucking movie! It doesn't need consistency or quality!

What a fucking surprise.

looks like shit

that woman is ugly and it has some ugly fat disgusting nigger. plus everyone else look like ugly semites.

Of course they will. Whole point of the film will be to show the chick proving that she can outsmart or overwhelm Vader.

What a glorious time to be alive.

Guess being a bully victim mentally fucked you up.

what is he spraying? liquid nitrogen?

They look like finns, bro.

The only ones in this thread venting frustration are the/pol/tards.

kill yourself

never

Yep. People will just keep sucking it up too. I can't blame them. They manufactured the hype for the new movies perfectly and Star Wars prints money. What next, some film about Alderran? Vader genociding some dark aliens?

Its telling though, do people still talk about TFA? Has any of its lines pierced into the zeitgeist? We can probably quote a ton of lines from A New Hope alone, yet how many does Force Awakens have going for it? What truly memorable and inspiring sequence was there?

People went because hype dictated they must. That its Star Wars and only the real nerds watch it or something. They left singing its praises, because they must. Any who criticized it were jumped on, heckled, told they were wrong. But everyone has moved on now, the film came and went. Sure, it did massive box office, but it lacked anything beyond that. A cookie cutter, by the books cash in from Disney, complete with all the nostalgia pandering they could muster.

do you think over time people will realize it was mediocre like they did with the prequels?

audible kek

It's gonna be the robot who dies. They're gonna make it Iron Giant esque and have him sacrifice himself to save the rest of the crew. That's why they're giving him all the Marvel, Whedony lines to make the audience like him at the start

oh dear

the robot is voiced by alan tudyk who has worked with Whedon before so you're not far off.

Chances are they'll say his head survived or that he had a backup of his AI in the ship's system or some bullcrap.

so essentially like Groot?

Pretty much. Even now people are saying that A New Hope was mediocre and overrated too, but for the wrong reasons like it not perfectly mirroring real world human diversity or some crap.

Exactly.

I have no idea why any white male would be willing to pay money for this

...

I'd say that is more because they can't accept that they got too hyped for TFA, so now have to tear down the others.

They're not perfect films by any stretch, but they are iconic and good-to-great adventure films.

Heaven forbid we actually point this out anywhere else. One thing I've noticed is that I also can't criticize Abrams anymore without someone pulling out the "but he made TFA! The greatest and highest grossing film of all time!" card, even though that even when you turn off your expectations, the film still just comes off as an SWIV reboot that pretends to be a sequel and when compared to the original trilogy its most on par with the second half of ROTJ, so the film's main selling point is the nostalgia factor. Another thing is that people seem to be thinking that this is the highest grossing film of all time and while it is #3 on the highest gross list, when adjust for inflation, the film didn't nearly as much money as A New Hope.

...

lel ledditeur, keep those salty tears coming.

This was from back when the first reveals dropped. Seems almost prophetic.

0 fucks

All i can give.

...

You seem mad there, kid.

Can some one explain why this is bad? I can't articulate any reasons why at this moment.

A galaxy of hundreds of aliens and species, as well as robots, yet all they can do is white women and non-whites vs white men.

Which is illogical considering that some alien species have abilities which can help them on their missions, which is partly why the Rebels won skirmishes over the Empire's human army.

She will either wrestle his lightsaber from him and kick his ass with it, or "build" something that can withstand a lightsaver assault and beat him with that.
Brute force has to be used to show that the stronk wymyn who need no man is stronger than anyone else.

lul this is disgustingly accurate, now i feel dirty for kind of liking firefly(MUH SPACE OUTLAWSSS)

Nah, she'll get tortured by Vader and pull a Craig from Casino Royale, laugh it off and insult him. Even they know there is a line they can't cross with Vader as he is too beloved, which is why they won't have him beat up.

Yes.
The hype will eventually die.
right?

Nu-males and cucks will defend this too by saying "b-but Vader was injured from his battle with Obi-Wan", just like with Kylo Ren, despite him being able to fight stronger opponents in both the non-canon EU and the Disney EU.

Disney is quickly killing my enthusiasm for everything star wars even the good pre Disney stuff.

This is memorable, for the wrong reasons though

...

Every good thing about it was written by his libertarian friend, so yeah.

How does this Rebellion last again?

Remember when walkers would shoot at trenches miles away?

I'd like to add:

Why does the AT-AT being shot at twitch like it is a living breathing being? It is basically a tank. Tanks are like: Fuck you, I'm a tank.

I remember that the Walkers had one set of guns that all face forward so the best way to take them down was to trip them with steel cables, shoot their unarmored necks (from the side hopefully), or climb under its belly and toss an explosive inside and cause a chain reaction

It's not question of if they fuck it up, it's how they will fuck it up?

"cool stuff" that makes no sense if you think about it for 10 seconds? retconning shit? Vader falls down the garbage chute? No character development? Executive meddling with after shooting reshoots and re edits?

Underrated post… and it also makes me want to die.

Instead all we get is one droid who makes Whedon-esque quips. Guardians of the Galaxy only had one human MC and nobody fucking complained about lack of diversity.

Well in those awful Force Unleashed games Vader (and the entire OT cast in a what if mode) got the shit beaten out of them and killed by a literal who Mary Sue, and that was before the even less component Disney took over.

fag

autist

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It looks like a Syfy original movie, forced diversity and all, except with a slightly larger budget and the Star Wars license

how can you put out something that looks so awful?

Also, why are the characters looking like they've been badly photoshopped into this poster? Terrible.

I'm amusing all the copy pasted shit between the two is just you since that takes a special kind of autism.

There's no way that's an official poster, that is so lazy I refuse to believe even Disney would shove something like that out

archive.is/h2Lyi

It fits.
Shows the quality I expect from the movie in the end.

Yeah, but that shit was already ambiguously canon so one really gave a shit about him affecting the greater story. That was thing about pre-Disney. Almost every new SW media was potentially ambiguous and could retconned or made official at any time, making sure that there was always room for revisions or improvements of a certain story while not having to butcher it. With the new shit however that won't be the case. The new trilogy is to be treated like the perma official tale instead of a what if.

Basically, but with fancier effects. You'd think Disney would've bothered to make this shit feel more like a real film.

… I really don't want to be here right now.

Now there's a waifu I never thought I'd see again…

You have good taste my friend

Trips of lies. We all know the best waifu was Ranma

fam plz

I really figured you go after the obvious one
men can't be waifus.

They can't but even if he could and even as a female he is still a shit waifu.

Spoilered for being a tad lewder.

I enjoy movies destroying Hollywood

These kind of blueballing turds will always be shit no matter what.

Death Star with down's syndrome.

Normies can't handle anime, post away boys!

Leftards used to be anti-establishement. Now they proudly defend any bullshit product from some of the most capitalistic hollywood corporations, in the name of social justice.

(((Well played))))

He doin' his best! He good!

...

Tarkin did nothing wrong.

Tarkin was a cool guy.

There was nothing wrong with the dance mode in that game.

It's like someone dug up your grandparents, put strings on them and made them dance like puppets.

...

no because Disney won't pay a bunch of shills in disguise to make a hour long takedown of it.

I like how the actor who played Tarkin in Ep III used the play a Tarkin-like character on Farscape: Scorpius.

For fuck's sake.

That Death Star should not be that big in the sky unless it was going to crash into the planet. Even Death Star II wasn't big in Endor's sky. And the rest of the poster is just shit. I'm sure the kikes will find a way to make something worse than this

Firefly's a shitty Blake's 7 ripoff anyway.

Of all the things to moan about, you moan about the proportions of the movie poster.

8/10 on the autist scale.

...

We could talk about diversity pandering some more. or kike agendas, or Mary Sue shit. But I'm sure you'll look for an excuse to bitch about that too instead of fucking off somewhere else

It's obviously a metaphor.
The Death Star looming on the Horizon like a promise, or a threat.

It's all very deep you see.

Yeah, it's so obvious it takes up 3/4 of the poster. Guess they know their target audience well and don't want them to feel left out.

I like the idea of this posters, but the execution is definitely too ugly and poor. It's just Disney forcing the cheapest available designer to make something that should be an art form like the original trilogy's posters by Drew Struzan.

The shadows on the Death Star are on the wrong side.

Really? And what is the idea, beyond letting the troglodytes know, in unequivocal terms, that what they are going to watch is Star Wars?

9000 hours in paint.

Jewish Neurosis: A Star Wars cash grab..

I legitimately don't know what to make of this.

I guess I'd see it? I don't know?

...

...

(Chk'd)
The idea of a large sweeping, stylized view of a battlefield, like those old oil paintings of historical battles with a small hint (not retardedly taking-up 80% of the poster) of the Death Star in the background. But again, the idea and the execution are far apart.

I'm just a sucker for military art.

...

That vehicle doesnt look good. Its like thaey are trying to make something "realistic", and yet fail on doing it.

Plus, that doesnt look very comerciable.

It looks like something a libcuck with no understanding of icky weapons would come up with.

...

There is no way in hell that's an official poster.

These new stormtrooper designs actually look pretty good.
The problem is that they don't fit in at all with the classic stormtrooper getup.

well technically in the star wars EU mandalorian iron and cortosis metal are resistant to lightsabers so she could try to fight him with those.

who was his libertarian friend? I want to learn more about this guy.

Honestly I always wanted to see more aliens in star wars. That's pretty much how I view diversity in Star Wars is with the aliens.

Damn it Clone Wars! I stick for the good stuff with the clones and you throw this crap in there.

Somebody do a pic with pepe dressed as tarkin.

I don't blame you user. I was hoping this would be a war movie. I might be wrong on this.

I guess she would discover them should Disney reintroduce it and give the rebellion a weapon against a lightsaber since any information of it that existed during the PT got lost or some shit like that.

It looks like they photoshopped an ad for some beach resort.

Why are the guns literally 1 foot off the floor? With a limited window of range to shoot.

Retards.

Really poor design, I think even deviantart could do better.

...

Why would anybody want to use a painfully slow and unwieldy vehicle like that to transport anything?
Just use a fucking truck or a tank.

Why bother trying to come up with something new that fits when you can just rip off the old design?

ROCK ISLAND AUCTION

what the fuck are they doing with the armour designs? these look like they're out of fucking halo reach or something

yeah about that
they did reshoots because it was too WARmovie-esque

I mean in all honesty why do you need a assault walker to begin with? Also do you want your supply lines to go faster than your front forces?

IIRC walkers were to see over trees and walk through any kind of terrain like swamps and rivers, forests etc. They also had a fucking massive range with their high and cannons. Might as well make the cargo slow as fuck too I guess. Still does not make sense much to have a walker cargo though.

...

Why didnt we get a rouge group of soldiers that are like the soldiers in Predator? The soldiers are bad ass as fuck, holy shit they are elite, etc

Instead we get a rag tag group of multiculturalism that shit and has not style. They could have done it where the 1st half is them being badass stealing the damn plans then the 2nd half is them being fucking murdered by Vader.

It looks really bad imo.

Theres a reason why they use lasers, its so they can fire from the hip because its just pure tracers.

the black ones are supposed to be death troopers according to disney.

days weycist

They literally look like pic related.

don't blame me blame disney.

Do you think we will ever get movie from EMPIRE perspective?

...

no because they always on the good guys. Though they recently released a comic starring the stormtroopers as protagonists. It's from their point of view.

Is it wrong for me to think this looks better than TFA?

I mean, the acting in this seems te be a lot better than [spoiler][/spoiler]>ur han solo

No it's not. Not saying its gonna be good but it looks like it'll be marginally better and at least explore a different aspect about star wars. That and Daisy Ridley can't act for shit while this chick seems ok.

Now you realize that when they said Stormtroopers are crack shots they actually meant it, it's just that everyone in Star Wars can't hit for shit (other than the force sensitive ones).

It all makes sense now.

Aren't Death Troopers supposed to be cyborgs?

Egh. These new designs still bothered me to this day. Like

Seriously, mouse?

They also made an AT-AT with a big orange door on its side to make it seem all-new.

Well, the Imperials piloting them have to spend the time on something while they are on the ship.

Actually, that would make for a great TV show. Two AT-AT pilots bored out of their minds on a Star Destroyer.

A show about imperials and the positive traits of stormtroopers would be a worthwhile watch.

I don't think a movie would get enough appeal but i could see a miniseries on TV or Netflix work.

It would obviously have to be about imperial Soldiers who eventually see the evil and redeem themselves because that's whatpeople expect, but it could work.

Nigger the armor designs in Reach was the best in the series and this shit is certainly a lot better than that shittier-than-cosplay TFA trooper armor.

I agree the designs are quite excessive even for old EU standards

Those are the new Dark Troopers. God they look like retarded Terminators. The old ones had a batch of cyborg but all 3 incarnations after that were really advanced droids.

Was there any EU material like this?

Same actor that played Ip Man, he is only here doing a refrain of that role to pander to chinks.

RIGHT WING DEATH TROOPERS

give them trump hats or even better SS insignias and armbands!

Why the fuck are all the women in star wars movies British now?

YOU'RE AN SOLEOW
OI BOIPAHSSED DA CUMPRESSAH

...

Oh don't worry, just for you we'll be sure to make the next Star Wars movie star an American girl, just like America's sweetheart, the All-American Gal Godot. USA! USA! USA!
t. Disneycorp

90% of the people in Star Wars were always British.

Because everyone remembers/likes Princess Leia and Lucas told Carrie Fisher to put on a fake British accent.

Because americans have a thing for brit women because they sound smart just because of their shitty accent.

Only if they were Imperials. Even in the lore they always called it an "Imperial Accent".

...

Yeah just put a huge target on there that says "here's where our backup soldiers are hiding".

It doesn't look shit.

Yeah I think in the EU people living in the Core worlds or the fancier planets like Naboo (which is in the Mid Rim) have a British accent, whereas people living in poorer planets like Tatooine have an American accent. Which is why it doesn't make any sense when Rey, a scavenger living on the edge of the known galaxy (right next to the unknown planet in KoTOR) has a British (Core world) accent.

Indeed. It was basically used to sound more fancy and to show the imperials were basically nobility.

It does when she's actually a coreworlder padawan of Luke who got mindwiped and dropped off at the planet when the new Jedi Order went down the toilet.

Because Leia had it during Episode IV but then she started slipping and every film since she just drops it because no one gave a shit and they wanted to cement British accent = Imperial = Bad guy

Well clearly Disney's thrown that out along with damn near everything except what they dig up for nostalgia pandering. And now the good guy can have British accents if it's the lead who's a "strong female character" and either tells you that she rebels or doesn't want you to hold her hand

Is corellia part of the core worlds? if so then why does han solo have an american accent despite being corellian?

...

Is that even a thing in SW?

It was done in KoTOR when Revan was fatally wounded (Malak fired on the bridge of his ship) then the Jedi preserved his life and programmed him with a new identity to make him loyal to the Republic.

They're slowly ripping off KoTOR, so I wouldn't be surprised if Rey was mind-wiped or if Rey has a Force bond with Kylo. I mean they've already had Hammerhead cruisers in that Rebels show and the new TIE Striker design here looks a lot like the Sith ships in KoTOR. Then there's that droid in Rogue One that's probably going to be the new HK-47.

Look closely at these new Scout Trooper guys. The upper right arm plate is red as a thinly veiled Nazi armband reference. They also have jodhpurs instead of normal pants just in case the audience didn't understand the red armband.

Wedge is also Corellian and he's played by a Scottish actor who uses a sort of indeterminate English accent for his performance.

I miss when the lore staff went to ridiculously autistic lengths to try and explain away these kind of things. Everything had to have an in-universe answer, and it would be utterly unacceptable to just admit that Lucas hired Dennis Lawson because they were filming in London and leave it at that.

LucasArts used to make an effort to hire voice actors who sounded suited to their roles; British accents for aristocracy, Jedi, imperials etc, American accents for commoners and smugglers. They kept a clear aesthetic when it came to accents in Star Wars, and usually didn't force in anything that contrasted too strongly like Kanja Klub guy from TFA.

Tortanic took things to extremes when they made all the Republic people American and all the Imperial people British. Bioware really can't do subtlety.

Jewsney just casts whatever their focus groups think will be financially or politically expedient, and that's why we end up with a backwater nomad like Rey and a hardened galactic criminal like Jyn Erso(?) with jarringly posh accents.

In the entire saga, besides goofy comic-relief characters like Jar Jar, TFA introduced 2 characters with the thickest, nails on a chalkboard accents, Kanjiklub guy and Rey.

who wants to bet they will become fan favorite

Well duh. Abrams is a huge Kotor fag and made Kylo his own shittier version of Revan. He even gives him one of Revan's titles.

And what a terrible trade off that is. Just damn you Disney. Fucking Lucas, you sell out.

???

"The scourge of something something". Basically a planet or moon Revan fucked in the games.

...

I know that topic has probably been debated to death by Starwarsfags but that fucking lightsaber triggers me.
That's NOT how a crossguard works. That thing is more likely to cut off his own hand any time he holds the sword at a stabbing angle. The thing is not only impractical, it's actually more dangerous to the wielder than to the enemy.

...

More like marketing research determined Star Wars fans liked a thing.

It looks.. What's the opposite of good? Bad? Bad. It looks bad.

It resembles pretty much every generic action movie of the past decade or so. Doesn't appear to have an especially interesting plot. Doesn't seem to be doing anything particularly interesting. It doesn't even really look like a Star Wars movie in the way they are attempting. This could be an offshoot of Guardians of the Galaxy and it wouldn't feel that out of place.

Best case scenario, it's painfully mediocre.

That "crossguard" has literally no practical use and only endagers the wielder.
It can't actually work as a guard to catch other lightsabers because the horizontal hilts are sticking out too far.
It's hardly usable to hurt the enemy and he's more likely to cut himself to pieces during a fight.

The dualblade in Episode 1 was already pretty edgy but at least it was pracitcal. This thing is just a menace. It's incredible that someone looked at the design of that thing and gave it a go.

The premise could be good. "Ragtag gang of misfits pull off heist of the century" isn't very original but many great movies were based on a simple premise.

Sad thing is with the stories about reshoots and re-editing and the rumours that Disney considered the first cut "too dark" i see this already go the same way Suicide Squad did.
Disney can't seem to decide if they want a movie more oriented to the adult audience or a PG-13-rated movie to sell more toys.

As far as I know, the crossguard saber was only seen ONCE in the entirety of pre-Disney Star Wars and it was a fucking comic. A comic I'm sure hardly any Star Wars fans bothered to read and it was promptly forgotten about. I cannot for the life of me wonder why Jew Jew or anyone else wanted to bring back something so obscure and then try and put it in that shitty cartoon to go "look it was a viable Jedi weapon see! This Pompeii'd corpse has one in working order somehow!"

That's a trend that's been going on for at least a decade or 2. I think bloodless zombie movie World War Z was the epitome of that nonsense because apparently Jews want to make violent movies and sell it to children but women will complain if there's blood in it. So making everything bloodless, CGI blanketed garbage seemed to be enough to placate women into taking their kids to see these movies.

What's the point of the tank at all if the troopers just walk around outside it?

Because it's too small to even fit the people driving it and sitting on tanks is dangerous as shit and hasn't been done since Vietnam

I think this guy has something to say about that.

Oh, when did they start using homing missiles in star wars? Sort of makes lasers on space ships redundant.

They had them in the Clone Wars. One episode revolved around Anakin tricking a Confederate Admiral into firing homing missiles at his own ship.

They fucking axed the Mandalorian Wars entirely and turned the Malachor Conflict into some lame Jedi vs. Sith confrontation for the six gorillionth time that ended when some Dark Side Superweapon Pompeii'd both sides. Yes, that's where the crossguard lightsaber on the Pompeii'd corpse came from, the Star Wars Rebels cartoon on Disney, not a pre-Disney comic. A working lightsaber on a thousands year old corpse picked up by Aladdin to presumably use as a prototype.

See, this is what I don't get. Do they think butchering KotOR's corpse is somehow a respectful nod to their fans? Do they think using names like "Malachor" and doing things like giving Kylo Revan's mask is somehow a positive? It's desecration, pure and simple. Let KotOR and its offspring, yes, even TOR, die in peace, and stop using its components for their dark Jew Necromantic rituals to raise marketable material for gullible goyim.

They had it in Revenge of the Sith as well

Wouldn't the lightsaber run out of power? I'm pretty sure they said lightsabers needed to be recharged in the Clone Wars cartoon and that's deemed canon (it's also made by the same guys who are working on Rebels).

This whole Disney Star Wars is desecration of the franchise. At least when Lucas killed Star Wars in Episodes I and II, he gave it a somewhat proper burial by the end of Episode III.

if they wanted to make it look threatening or imposing then it would be casting a shadow. as is it just looks like some fashionable cutaway.

That's always been a thing. And in the games Imperial SAM turrets were deadlier than ace TIE Interceptor squadrons

I know about the Rebels episode. I was talking about the only instance a crossguard saber originally appeared in was one comic. I didn't mean to imply the comic and the Pompeii saber were the same. But the point still stands. Disney keeps trying to force that crossguard saber into being the new dual bladed staff when the only time it showed up was in one comic and even fans don't bother remembering it. And I'm not going to excuse the comic since obsessing over Jedi and lightsabers so damn much is why Star Wars went to shit even during Lucas' reign

One.

TR8-TOR

Thats it. Once every 3 months I watch that scene, it's all I care to remember from that reboot.

And that meme was killed 1 week after release, to the point where it's just cringeworthy now.

A lightsaber has no weight. Why aren't they fighting like musketeers?

IIRC, those were supposed to be power vents because Kylo Ren is such a shit craftsman it's basically a grenade if he doesn't include those stupid things.

That was the original asspull, they were vents to prevent it from overheating and exploding in his hand, except no, because then they fucked up that explanation by having it be a pre-existing design used by professional Jedi thousands of years ago, so who the fuck knows.

Yet more evidence Rebels is irredeemable garbage.

What was so infuriating about that scene is that they ruined what could have been a decent asspull just so they could literally advertise for their shit movie through their shit TV Show. He didn't even do anything with the lightsaber, he just shrugged and threw it back down as if to say "LOOK! IT EXISTS!".

That sort of shit has been always part of Star Wars. Extended content writers always try to shove deep/important/ancient meaning to meaningless/mundane stuff. A random stance is part of a mystical space martial arts. The bar isn't populated by normal locals, but instead everyone is a deep cover spy or otherwise important figure. Darth Vader blocks blaster shots with his special glove.

At the cost of being called a disney shill id say its reasonable to assume that as saber technolody improved with time they got more efficient at utilizing the technology the need for vents would stop and it would be phased out.

Would work in the blades didn't look so stable. Part of Kylo's design is that thing looks like it's ready to explode with how unstable the blade is. That saber looks perfectly fine which means those are just a finger hazard.

Even though I have watched only a trailer, I think Kylo's saber is pretty cool. By virtue of being shitty, it makes proper sabers more special too.

Thanks for reminding me of that. Clone Wars catoon was only good for the clone camaraderie and maybe some waifus here and there. It was better than the movie but that isn't like a high benchmark to be too proud of. Liked the artstyle though I hated the original clone wars cartoon movie they used before the actual cartoon was how Anakin and Ashoka met because they had to baysit Jabba the Huts kid. That was just stupidly silly meeting for a new character in a star wars franchise.

...

Vader is a big guy.

oh don't forget the crossguard will guide the blade into the join between the guard and the blade.

Which means on a lightsabre your sabre and your hand gets cut in half by your enemies beam.

So its just useless beyond hope.

Go to bed Skallagrim.

I wonder how they are going to fuck up Vader in the new fanfic Star Wars movies.

He's already been in Rebels, they won't do much with him out of fear of upsetting the fanboys.
