Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

[I, Cosh]

Hang on... Was that Donnie Yen?!

[Goaty]

Hang on... Was that Donnie Yen?!

Yep

[TordelBack]

Ah yeah, that looks much better.

Except.

I still can't warm at all to Felicity Jones's delivery.  It reminds me of one of those French & Saunders movie spoofs, a pouty Jennifer playing Jyn against Dawn as Mon Mothma. Maybe it's the lines selected, I don't know. Not yet sold on Alan Tudyk's droid voice either.

Still, love the inclusion and look of Saw Guerrera from Clone Wars' Onderron arc (should have done more stories like that), and Donnie Yen's not-Jedi has fan-favourite written all over him.

[Goaty]

Loved those moments...

[TordelBack]

That whole walled city has SW written all over it, straight out of a WestEnd Games RPG sourcebook. Love it.

Less so the palm trees. Why are redwoods and hazels (and for that matter Earth snakes and lizards) okay for the GFFA but palm trees aren't? Is it because the unique shapes of palms are so symbolic of tropical Earth, while other trees are just trees?

Must admit to finding her Received Pronunciation delivery rather grating, then again I felt the same about Daisy Ridley initially but found her more than acceptable in the movie as a whole.

[Hawkmumbler]

That looks rather great I must say.

[Rio De Fideldo]

Our household are all very excited about Rogue One although I'm probably still the most excited.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Blimey. Genuinely buzzing for this - looks beautiful and I luurrve myself a characterful rag-tag team. Bring it on!

[PsychoGoatee]

New trailer rocks, way better than the first one for me. And Donnie Yen is the man. And I dig that guy at the end of the trailer.

(watch Tiger Cage 2 everybody, classic Donnie)

[Zarjazzer]

I'm as excited as a pusscat at nom time. Looks fabulous!  Love that little montage Goaty.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

I want to see this more than I wanted to see The Force Awakens

[Michael Knight]

This looks much better than 'The Force Awakens'!  Wow! i mean WOW!
Seriously I feel a sense of wonderment about a Star Wars release again. The Force Awakens whilst ok did not grab me like the others even in the trailer. This however looks a very different beast.
And Felicity Jones in it too! Result!

And Felicity Jones in it too! Result! 

Ethel Hallow from the Worst Witch apparently (British TV series rather than US film, I'm guessing).
