Rogue One Trailer
« on: Aug 13, 2016, 01:20:28 AM »


Incoming rant...

Kinda makes me sad that I feel nothing.  "Let's just keep recycling George Lucas's ideas, everyone!"  I'm sick of the Death Star and I'm stick of Vader.  Oh, look, an AT-ACT.  We've seen those things already.  Yeah, I know the plot.  That they're stealing Death Star plans.  But it doesn't mean we even need the Death Star in the actual movie.  With each St*r WarzzZZ movie, they continue to make a galaxy far, far away look postage-stamp small.  Everything revolves around the same people, the same planets, the same technology.

And the two leads are the blandest-looking people ever.  She's a pretty girl, but she's generic looking.  Oh, look, it's a young, scrappy British girl as the lead.  The same goddamn thing we had in the last freakin' movie.  I really wish there was a non-white woman as the lead like Rinko or Rashida Jones or Michelle Rodriguez or Priyanka or Gugu Mbatha-Raw.  But barring that, if they really REALLY just needed a white girl, why HER?  I'd prefer Cara Delevingne's shitty eyebrows at this point and I can't stand that chick.  Zooey.  Mila.  Jamie Alexander.  Emma Stone.  Even Lucy Lawless.  *gasp*  I know.  She's almost 50.  Soooo old.  Can't have old women killing geek boners, can we?

Anyway, this film will break records and make billions.  So whatever, I guess.

And I'm sick of the media talking about female St*r WarzzZZ leads.  They are white females.  Always white.  Any woman that's not white or an alien is a unicorn.  No doubt the Empire killed all the black, Asian, Latina, and First Nations women to stop the rebels from, like, breeding or the-fuck-ever.  Maybe that's why they're looking for a non-white female lead for the Han Solo film.  Putting down money they're gonna chose someone half-white, especially if she's a potential love interest.  We'll see.

Here's young Han again.  Young Han.  YOUNG and SQUINTY.

It would be cool if we could get some non-human leads, honestly.

Played by white people under heavy makeup, naturally. :P

Nah, that'd actually be nice for once.  Instead of casting Zoe Saldana and adding another chip on the color wheel to her resume.  And why not an alien?  Why are we in a fantastical outer space world and we never explore the POV of a damn alien?  They could've made some cute sentient little fucker and then merchandised the shit outta it.  They have no imagination at all.

You're right though, it looks super white. Forest Whitaker and two Asian guys in a sea of white.

Wait a minute. Forest White-taker? Taking food out of white actors' mouths! For shame. :fingershake:

Seriously, did you notice he has way more hair in this one compared to the last? Do you think he gets a haircut during the course of the film? Or maybe his hair was the catalyst for the re-shoots!

No, I didn't notice.  On the plus side, I now know where all of my extra brillo pads went.  You know, I've liked Forest Whitaker in one movie.  One.  The Crying Game.  He died in that movie.  Did that help, you think?

There's also Mexican actor Diego Luna in the male lead role.  (I think he's half-white for what it's worth it but it's not like he's Pati Jinich white as a result.)

If I can't tell you're Mexican just by looking at you, you're not Mexican enough.

For reals though, racial discrimination is very important to me and I need to know when to employ it!

For reals for reals though, dude needs to shout "ĦAy!" before and after all his lines or something. Give me something to work with.

Hey, Alan Twodicks voices the droid! He's super white.

I liked it well enough when I went to see it, but I tried rewatching it recently on Netflix, and almost immediately was like, "Nah... that's okay."

I mean, I definitely want to see what happens next, but the expectations are now firmly grounded in reality.

I'll be sad if Rama likes Rogue One because then there won't be a rant for me to enjoy.

I bet people would freak if Diego Luna talked like Pati Jinich in the movie.  I keep mentioning Pati Jinich.  She's a Mexican chef.  I'll admit it: I mock the fuck out of her accent at home.

Not one bit.


And my hope for Rogue One is coming from a return something that looks and feels like good old SW. TFA tried that and it worked a little on me, but not as much as this is.

Course I'm not basing that on any story elements. I've tried to stay spoiler free so I don't know much about what this movie is about other the stealing the Death Star Plans. Which I don't mind the Death Star here, because it is THE Death Star and not a clone of it like we got from TFA. That was one step to far, but this is ok with me. I know this plucky band of rebels aren't gonna blow it up, because Luke does that right after this movie.

If they hadn't fallen back on it again and then ripped it off for TFA, I'd be with you on that.  As it is, it's an overdone concept imo.

omg, ppl are already theorizing that she's Rey's mom.  Does the timeline they (Disney, Lucas, whoever) established even support that?

It is possible...but not probable. This girl looks to be in her mid 20's. So it could happen...BUT Rey looks to be around 19 when she leaves Jukka. Since TFA is set 30 years after ROTJ whoever Rey's mom is would have had to have given birth to her in the time between ROTJ and TFA, since the OT only takes place over like a 5 year period and this happens right before that. So if she is Rey's mom we won't see her knocking boots in this film, but more likely around 10 years after this movie. But is possible, I just don't think she is.

What if she's another Mary Sue AND Rey's mother?  Does that mean we can call her Mama Sue?   :jack:

The timeline is already fucked. I know this has been pointed out ad nauseam, but in the time it takes Luke to grow into a young man, Ewan McGregor becomes Alec Guinness. The original Death Star took FOREVER to build. And I'm sure there's plenty more, but the point is Lucas and his cronies totally didn't bother.

So if Disney decides that, "Hey! The girl in our first movie? She's totally the daughter of the girl in our second movie! Who would have thought?" I wouldn't at all be surprised.

Being white doesn't bother me as much as being British. You'd think half the damn world is made of limeys as much as they like to cast characters with one of a number of English accents.
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I know I said it in another post somewhere but, goddamn it, I'm sick of the same British accent being the go-to voice of fantasy worlds.  Can't they do something else?  I'd take everyone speaking with a damn Geordie accent at this point.  It's still British, but at least it's not the same damn kind they always use.

Okay, so in this particular instance (Rogue One), the British thing is already kind of established. This is a prequel, and all the bad guys in the original trilogy sounded British, so...

It would be kind of weird if all the Imperials suddenly sounded like they crawled out of the Deep South, yeah? Entertaining, sure! But continuity is important.

It's a pretty easy fix actually.  If they had to travel elsewhere to steal the plans from the Empire.  Like an outpost, colony, or something.  Or the main baddies could've been alien allies of the Empire or a party contracted by the Empire.  "Everybody's British so let's keep doing that" is just lazy.  Like, I know you were making a joke, but some sort of bounty hunter or something that sounds like he's from the Deep South could've been pretty bad-ass.  Like Sawyer from Lost crossed with Gambit and Boba Fett.  The main rebel chick being from some other planet or region and sounding all "Southern US" could've been something really interesting, too.  Who doesn't want space cowboys?

They actually did a cowboy bounty hunter in Clone Wars, he looked and sounded kick ass, but he always went out like a chump, because... well, the story demanded it, I guess.

Didn't they just end up using him as a tool to make Palpatine look cool? Like, Palpatine went all Bruce Lee on him or something? That final season was mostly good other than the ending.

Sorry, not the final season. The final season was that Lost Episodes trash. Should have stayed lost, holy crap. Gollum Yoda, Jesus Christ.

Man, neither poster is good but the Korean poster is really terrible.

Link to pages and some images from a visual guide book that has since been scrapped.  Supposedly, "a lot of the information isn't even correct."  Or at least that's what some talking head told a journo at HitFix.

Confirmed as "dark and edgy."  Bleh.  Don't cut me with all of that edge, son.

Confirmed as "gritty."  Please, don't chafe me with all of that grit, dude.

Confirmed reshoots to lighten the tone.  Oh no, don't blind me with all of that light, bro.
