Is this EU stuff or plain Disney ''original" work?
Also, they even managed to recruit Mads Mikkelsen for this...
It's EU stuff repackaged as new without original credits.
R2D2 will only be in the last 2 minutes, the movie.

>Mads Mikkelsen (Galen appears to be his name in the film) is kind of the key to the film in a way. He is a scientist that took over the Geonosian Death Star project. He solved several of the flaws the Empire could not and is sort of a revered person in the Empire for his contributions. However, Mikkelsen’s character is a Robert Oppenheimer-type character. Oppenheimer helped design the atomic bomb only to say, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” The guilt “Galen” feels for his contributions to the Empire become too much and he defects, attempting to make things right. In order to do this, he enlists the help of his only daughter
it might even be better than TFA...

This Director's resume.
>>64617499
Is this movie even needed? In TFA they just kind of seemed to know how to destroy the Star Killer on just a guess taking out its ocelator would blow it up. So is R1 just going to be about, oh yeah just shoot a torpedo in the vent thing.
Tarkin better be in this flick.
>>64617755
Hope they ignore the Prequel shit about flying bugs or whatever thinking up the Death Star.
>>64617858
They didn't know it had a vent thing before R1, and it's not like Starkiller base where the oscillator is really fucking huge that they can just see it and torpedo it
>>64617858
It's a prequel to episode IV but they don't have the balls to call it that.
>>64617499
>Many banthas died too bring us this information XDDD
>>64617499
>plans for the death star
FUCK OFF WITH THIS FUCKING DEATHSTAR SHIT HOLY FUCKING FUCK BY THE TIME THIS PIECE OF SHIT FRANCHISE ENDS THE PREQUELS WILL BE CONSIDERED THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY FUCKING MOVIES WITHOUT DEATHSTARS IN IT HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY USE THIS SAME FUCKING IDEA SO MANY TIMES
>>64618011
p sure the prequels also had the death star plans subplot and death star under construction, in Ep III.

Monsters was great. Godzilla was ok in the beginning and endings. Middle really dragged though.
>>64618094
Longest middle ever for a movie.
>>64618060
Is Ewan McGregor coming back ?
>>64617699
I highly doubt it, why shoehorn him in at all?
Vader and Tarkin 100% to be in this movie, however more likely playing small but important cameos
>>64618141
i fucking hope so.
>>64618147
>why shoehorn him in at all?
toys, anon.
the answer is always toys.
>>64618141
I think Kathleen Kennedy said there would be no Jedi in it, I'm not 100% on that being quotable but I was something along those lines.
More of a gritty war film set in space than 'the comedy adventures of the space wizards'
>>64618147
help obi wan kenobi you're my only hope.
>>64618196
i think he means the kenobi stand alone film

they blew up a giant ball in episode 1, does that count?
>>64617499
We get to see Felicity Jones dirty and sweaty, that's all that matters.
>>64617755
>he enlists the help of his only daughter
Will we ever have a male protagonist in star wars again?
>>64617499
>they even managed to recruit Mads Mikkelsen
Doubt it was hard, he probably just took one look at his pay.
>>64617499
There are no more canon tiers, or EU.
Everything is equally canon, main trilogy tier.

>tfw Bobba Fett will be replaced by a bitch, in his own anthology
Are these the plans for the first, or the second, or the third, or the fourth Deathstar? Maybe the prototype? I'm confused.
>>64621396
First - the plans that are the MacGuffin of ANH
>>64621338
>it'll be a series of movies about how great his love interest is and how badly she don't need no man
>other characters will constantly remark about how great she is while boba fett is reduced to comic relief
>>64621338
They're apparently going to cast Michael B Jordan as Fett, so no, not replaced by a woman...
>>64618060
Tudyk is in this?
>>64622807
Wtf why has he replaced two races ffs if they give him a afrocentric accent Imma be fuckin pissed
>>64617639
This. So much this.
>>64622898
>>64622807
Fuck that's terrible, momoa would be great, why americans always have to put pet niggers in their movies.
>>64617755
>He solved several of the flaws the Empire could not
Except that ONE particular flaw...
>>64622898
>>64623268
You'll take your medicine and you'll like it, goyim.
>>64623520
>>64623268
Eh they shouldn't even have an Actor play him they should have a VA do the same accent as Jason Wingreen
>>64617499
Didn't they just intercept a transmission between imperial ships to get the plans? How is that worthy of a show?
No-one would give a fuck about this if it was a non SW film.
It is 100% nostalgia based. Death Star. Both an spies. Grand Moff Tarkin. Vader. R2D2
Mix that with a diverse cast and a female lead who will probably commit suicide at the end and serve on a bed of shit.
Welcome to the death of the Star Wars universe.
>>64617499
I am genuinely looking forward to this and hope they find the right tone for it. I wouldnt be surprised if an actually decent movie(not just decent star wars) would be the result
>>64618060
makes sense since the resistance is an idea of fighting back that should unite all kinds of people
>>64623436
>inb4 it was his plan all along to give the death star a weakness so the rebels could blow it up
>>64617499
>female leads
>niggers
It's TFA all over again and that one turd was just as smelly as Prometheus.
I think I'm done with Star Wars.
>>64624181
Did you get an advanced copy of the script? :^)
>>64623856
>>64624287
She's one of the leads. There's a male lead, too.
Also, why is everyone so autustic about this? If they're written well, it shouldn't be a problem.
>>64617499
Kylo is Jacen.
Rey is Jaina.
First Order is New Order.
Starkiller Base takes from the name Starkiller (from TFU) and the concept of the Sun Crusher.
It is literally nothing more than a rehashed EU with different names.
>>64625219
That is not relevant. It's the predictability which renders it pointless.
It's Fanfic level writing with fannish predictable character beats.
And suggesting any dissent is "autistic" renders anything you might say irrelevant as it suggests you have nothing aposite to say on the subject. All you have is attempted demonization which is the modus operandi of a child.
>>64625309
>Starkiller Base takes from the name Starkiller (from TFU)
Starkiller comes from Lucas's original concept for Luke Starkiller, not some shitty video game
>>64625804
>not some shitty video game
Yah, Okay.
>>64625940
With all of the references to the original movie TFA has, do you really unironically think it's more likely that they took the name Starkiller from one of the countless video games instead of the original source?
I don't know anything about it and I can still tell its not going to have authentic feeling of Lucas Star Wars and will probably have a bunch of dumb humor and 'boyfriend' like moments. Christ, not even non-Terran characters in Guardians of the Galaxy have them.
>>64618060
>only one female
>>64626320
don't worry, she'll just own the entire movie and be another mary sue
Rey will become the Prime Jedi and train every new Jedi within the next two films.
It will be a Jedi Matriarchy with no white men doing any Jedisplaining.
She will fall in love Kylo the Sith boy and change his ways, like all women do to wayward stupid men.
This is not even a joke, sadly, I really expect all of this to happen.
Disney hasn't done anything original in years
>>64626212
Taking references from the original films and concept art doesn't count out the ability for them to poach names, ideas and characters from previous Star Wars products.
