is that Donnie Yen in the trailer?

are...are we getting martial arts jedi?

because that could be the sickest **** ever

and is it wrong that I'm far more hype for this than I was for the Force Awakens?

this is a side of star wars we've never ever seen before...I'm on ******* board!

Yes, that is Donnie Yen. No, he is not a Jedi, just someone who follows a Jedi related religion.

meh

who needs lightsabers or the force when you can just beat troopers up with your bare hands! (and occasionally a stick)

That's no mere stick, he appears to be deflecting blaster bolts with it, and there's something on the end that may be a stun device.

I just hope he didn't have to chop down no Force-Sensitive Tree to make it!

Those Force-Sensitive-Tree tree huggers would be very upset.

Also with his outfit having so much red, it's been suggested he may be ex-Royal Guard, so there's that.

I'm completely making it up, but he could have been blinded by force lightening, by the emperor.

at the risk of prequel baiting, there were those dumb staff-twirling robots what could tango with lightsabers

I just love the music in the trailer. Particularly when "In December" flashes up. We get the 'Imperial March' (in a more orchestral style) and over the course of the next 30 seconds it turns into 'Light of the Force'... which is effectively the story of Star Wars. We get the overarching story - good triumphing over evil - in 30 seconds of music. Just beautiful.

It concerns me a bit how much this new X-wing pilot looks like Gary Oldman.

I dunno. That 'stache screams a little bit of young Chuck Norris.

I hadn't even considered Norris, but I now it seems more likely to me.

Gary Oldman can't be rebel

"get me everyone"

"everyone?"

I'll forgive it because he's pulling the face we'd all pull if given the chance to get into a X-Wing cockpit.

So Jan Ors and Kyle Katan, are they in or are they not a part of that movie?

I wanted more "Saving Private Ryan"... but yeah it is going to be a real movie... looks like Gurl Han actually is dying as she walks towards that TIE... I might love this dam-movie.

I wonder is it a Red ending and she'll blast it with a pistol

or a blue one and she'll take control of teh swarm xD

Shepaaard!

"Upside down" shot of Death Star is mildly disconcerting. Strange that it took 30 years for someone to do that.

Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn are no longer part of the official canon. However, it is quite clear they have been used as inspiration for Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor in this movie.

Makes sense when you think about it. If you wanna blow up the planet, gotta have your big gun actually pointing at it.

It is Jedha, a new planet.

Just like jakku was totally not tatooine.

Bummer, after Grand Admiral Thrawn appearing in Rebels I was getting my hopes up.

Look what I found watching the trailer for the 2532nd time!

The Uglyasfak-class shuttle!

Dunno Brah... it could be that this is one of her team mates and she is almost done with some task and they are here to pick her up in that stolen TIE... it is a highlight of the trailer in my view and it could mean greatness.

You know what would be awesome? If those Death Troopers are the Impification (new word!) of Republic Commandos. They could give a Delta Squad Cameo and make a RepCom movie!

is it carrying a doll?

is it carrying a doll?

Yup. Something tells me that it's the site of a terrorist attack against an Imperial Loyal world, and the doll was found in the rubble. Probably trying to humanize the Empire and show that not all rebels are good.

That's ******* racist, mate.

That's his dead comrade, a Patitite from Patitite Pattuna.

Or maybe the Imperials searching for the Rebels/stolen plans employ the same tactic First Order uses in TFA when looking for BB-8 - I think it's called Base Delta Zero and it might cause some mild collateral damage.

Exactly! That's why I loved that shot so much.

What's concerning about his resemblance to Gary Oldman? Also, I thought the appearance of mustaches was a very small part of Disney's efforts to make the new movies and television shows look a little more 1970s.

To the poster who said "sheesh, three out of ten planets are desert planets"

I imagine that they didn't used to be desert planets. Over millenia of mining and resource draining (water) for intergalactic trade, they became desert planets!

Wouldn't that be cool....?

I am seriously interested in seeing how many people get that...
