Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

[Hawkmumbler]

I've recently been watching Rebels, which is markedly better than I was expecting. A brilliant prequel series to the original trilogy with just enough call backs (forwards?) too feel like a fair depiction of the empire at this time .Delighted to see personal favorite Grand Moff 'slippers' Tarkin play a valuable role.

If Rogue One can capture that same pre-ANH magic, i'd be very happy indeed.

Just watched the latest trailer. Imperials getting smashed left right and center. Come on give us some realism here. Enough of the Imperial bashing I want to see rebels getting offed in their droves whilst taking on the impossible.

Just tide yourself over with Empire Strikes Back

I don't think it's going to end well for many of the rebels of Rogue One. I hope not anyway...

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

If the last shot of this isn't the opening shot of A New Hope, I'll be suprised. In which case, the characters either all die or are captured by Vader, taken prisoner along with Leia and then killed when the Death Star is destroyed. Which would be kinda ironic.

I dont think Alderaan was Death Star's first kill

Wasn't saying it was... but we know the plans are stolen while a space battle takes place and then end up with Leia on her father's Tantive IV ship, with Vader in hot pursuit.

"It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy..."

Agreed (even ignoring the old EU). Tarkin says Dantooine is too remote for an effective demonstration, and that Alderraan's destruction will test the destructive power of the fully operational station.  Nowhere does anyone say that there were no prior major weapons tests. It'd be crazy if they hadn't blown up a few obscure moons or planets before taking it out in public. Nobody is standing around the control room. nervously wondering if this thing is even going to work.

We're assuming the Death Star actually gets to fire in this movie.

Or escape into exile after successfully delivering the plans to Leia Organa.

Well, we know that any Bothans who appear may as well be wearing red shirts...
