OMG the set design and costumes are nothing like Star Wars at all! This doesn't look like Star Wars! What are they even thinking?

they are thinking jason bourne/black hawk down aesthetic+gritty fantasy characters for the smartphone niggercock/girlpower generation

Looks like the Peacekeepers from the Hunger Games.
That's why people are saying it looks like a fan film
>TFA
>rehashed bullshit, try something new for once
>Rogue One
>This doesn't look like Star Wars!
I don't envy Lucasfilm having to walk this autistic minefield you guys have set up
>>68028061
that shot in the trailer is literally less than 1 second long
It looks pretty cool and I'll probably see it when it comes out unless it has horrible reviews.
>>68028061
Why are they using tanks instead of AT-ST's?
>>68028061
that vehicle looks awful to be fair.
>story literally takes place in a whole universe
>wah this location doesn't look like other ones
Are you fucking fucking me?
>>68028354

I dunno exactly what you did there, but it looks goddamn awesome.
Explain please.
>>68028556
He made it black and white bitch
>new and noticeably updated ships/vehicles everywhere
at least this fixes one problem of TFA
>>68028604
Its a composite of some sort, which represents what exactly?
why did they change the shadowtrooper helmet design?
Does this mean Battlefront is no longer canon?
>>68028666
nothing, it's a meme
>>68028294
>Rogue One
>This doesn't look like Star Wars!
It's completely fucking different from TFA, this is supposed to be taking place RIGHT before ANH, yet everyone and everything looks like there's been a giant timeskip.
>>68028719
Looks amazing.
>>68028556
>>68028666
Rogue One newfags are somehow worse than the TFA newfags were
>>68028129
Gareth Edwards will herald the era of spacekino
>>68028745
the trooper armor is back to the old one and the vehicles are too judging by the AT-AT in the trailer.
What's the problem?
>>68028668
It means they're some new flavor of Stormtrooper that will be unique to the movie or whatever and shadow troopers will be fine.
>>68028061
I'm going to see this kino 12 times in the cinéma
>>68028745
show me a specific person who appears in ANH that looks timeskipped in this trailer. Or are you one of the people that thinks a Galaxy spanning Empire should have a single armor set for it's millions of troops, zero variation. Because we only see generic stormtroopers (and sandtroopers) in the original film, nowhere in the rest of the galaxy could they have different helmets?You sound fun
>>68028745
>this is supposed to be taking place RIGHT before ANH, yet everyone and everything looks like there's been a giant timeskip
no shit, that movie came out nearly 40 years ago
>>68028952
why did the Empire get rid of all the armor variation that the Phase II Clones had?
>>68028952
>Because we only see generic stormtroopers (and sandtroopers) in the original film, nowhere in the rest of the galaxy could they have different helmets?
You mean like how we never saw scout troopers with camo armor? Like how sandtroopers were just stormtroopers with a pauldron? Then all of a sudden we see a bunch of new helmet styles, armor colors, and vehicles right before the OT?
>>68028556
>>68028604
>>68028666
>>68028719
It's called a kino grid, my friends.
>>68028129
you just made it into a Truffaut film
>>68029035
Uhhh because toys, retard
>>68029035
one type of cheap 70s plastic to reduce cost
>>68029006
I'm not talking about the actors, i'm talking about the empire's armor/vehicle designs. Of course you can't expect 1:1 but i'm talking about how from an outsider one would think this takes place after the OT because of all the unique armor designs.
>>68029082
>mfw they use CGI AT-ATs instead of miniatures
>>68029141
>muh minatuires
get with the times grandpa they're never using practical effects again
>>68029207
>>68029035
unification is more cost efficient
and with empire being as massive as it was, military upkeep is an important factor
>>68029207
pic related is a miniature, but the trees are CG I think
>>68028668
>>68028849
Pretty sure the ones in Rogue One are Darktroopers, they're different.
>>68029252
that and they weren't fighting a massive war anymore.
btw what was the point of wearing camo to fight robots?
>>68029137
Think about the locations we actually visited with an Imperial presence in ANH, remote Tatooine and like 3 rooms in the planet-sized Death Star. And even in those 2 locations Stormtroopers/Sandtroopers did have some differences. In an Empire that spans literally the entire Galaxy, it's inconceivable that at that time the Empire would have any more troop variation? And what Imperial land vehicles did we see in ANH?
>>68028061
If the troopers armor was weathered like the sandtrooper armor they would blend better.
Also they could have brought the Saber tanks into canon and not just redesign that fugly Rebel tank from Battlefront.
>>68028061
>not a 2-M tank
They had one fucking job.
>>68029207
Say that to the new Thunderbirds TV show. I passed by it one day while channel surfing and noticed everything (Except characters and a couple of parts in the environment.) were miniatures. Very nice work of miniatures.
>>68029279
Republic was oppressive tyranny, i'd say that the CIS droid army were not the only insurgency they were fighting against. They probably had to put down lots of human or alien uprisings too.
>>68029348
at least they aren't making that ass ugly TIE fighter tank canon
>>68029322
I don't even think Tatooine had a real Imperial presence. I'm pretty sure the Stormtroopers we saw were from the Star Destroyer in the beginning and were just conducting an investigation. I'd assume they have all the various environmental gear they need on the SD.

>>68028745
No, just these new HD cameras literally film it in a new light :D
>>68029082
I like it, but it looks really weird
>>68029141
CG looks better
>>68029516
ok
>>68029046
Did you get mad about snowtroopers in ESB or socut troopers in ROTJ because we didn't see them in ANH? They're just examples of the Empire having different armor types based on location. Because in ANH we only encountered generic stormtroopers/sandtroopers, there were no other armor types across the galaxy?
>>68029557
I would understand making all the equipment like starships or even tanks CGI
but why the fuck did they have to make the troopers and minor things like control pannels cgi too
sure it would make the cgi look even worse in comparison, but it would be a movie with bad cgi. Not a fucking cutscene from PS1 videogame.
>>68029557

Walked out of my room when I heard this
>>68028282
no shit, all the new films are fan films. The only pure Starwars movies are the original three.
You can't recapture the Starwars feeling because you can't reproduce uniquely 70's cheese, plus the original people who worked on it have retired, died, or gone crazy.
>>68029348
That looks gay as fuck
I can see why the EU was erased, now.
>>68028668
the OT trooper helmet looks gross in black.
>>68029557
Never understood why prequel CGI looks decent to kinda good sometimes (like droid in pic related) and others it look horrible like that PS2 gungan.
That being said, I don't find this scene THAT bad. It might not have aged well but there is way worse CGI in more recent movies (see, Indiana Jones monkeys).
>>68029557
What PS2 game is this?
>>68028061
Somebody post more hi res screenshots of the troopers with the big T21 blasters and the running khaki troopers
>>68029406
>canon
It's "Kanon".
OT stormtroopers look cool as fuck but Rouge One will be terrible.
>>68029787
The EU was erased because the storygroup believed it interfered with main line canon. Which it did.
Also,I'll fuck you up for disrespecting the fighter tank series.
>>68029942
actually pleb its 'Kinon'
>>68030183
c'no-nn actually
>>68029835
LOL!
>>68029263
Wrong, this is a dark trooper you faggot.
>>68028668
As much as I do like me some shadow trooper, the old design was kind of lazy. Its literally just a black recolor of a regular trooper. I don't mind them changing it up a bit.
>>68028129
They better fucking have OT and PT alien races in this, not that pure shit TFA brought to the table.
>>68031796
I just want Twi'leks again
>>68031588
>those thin and greatly exposed bits connecting the arms to torso
>all those tubes hanging outside the armored parts
Jesus, I know phase 1s are supposed to be weaker than the other two, but whoever designed them is retarded.
>>68031821
>tfw you realize twileks objectify women and may never be seen again
>>68028061
For real though, both this and TFA have something oddly 'off' about them in trying to capture the old Star Wars look. I'm starting to think that for all the failings of the prequels it was actually really fucking smart of Lucas to give them their own visual identity (a lost 30's pulp sci-fi golden age vs the boxy utilitarian grit of the OT), because every attempt to replicate the original look so far has some kind of weird uncanny valley effect going on. The designs might all ostensibly be the same, but something still looks slightly wrong about them. For me at least I'm getting that same mental revulsion as looking at CGI that's almost there but not quite.
It would have been a lot smarter to avoid revisiting the OT period altogether in my opinion. Either stick with the 30+ years later angle or go back in time to the height of the Old Republic, trying to plug films made nowadays with CGI, digital film processing, etc into the very analogue-looking OT chronology is just not going to work, it can't successfully achieve verisimilitude.
>>68028354
Do you know what ST in AT-ST even means?
Empire use shitloads of tanks. The only reason why Hoth had none was because of extreme cold.
>>68029557
Damn, Battlefront DLC looks kickass!
>>68028061
>This doesn't look like Star Wars!
I want to fucking strangle every retard saying this.
It's a galaxy with thousands of alien races and millions of planets.
But everything must look the same because of retarded babies with 0 imagination.
>>68029557
why is this bad, looks good
>>68028129
why are all the shots framed in the same way? i can already tell this shit is going to be as boring as it gets
>>68028061
it looks cheap.
not enough alien creatures.
this is gonna be "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" tier
>>68029207
>>68032421
I think when people say that, what they actually mean is it doesn't 'feel' like Star Wars.
And for the most part, they're right. A lot of the skills and practices that went into the original movies are lost arts at this point, or have been replaced with other technologies and methods. The only way to truly recapture that feeling would be to slavishly replicate the same production and filming methods as the original movies, but Disney isn't going to put the time and money into that because they want these things to be a yearly product/merchandising cash cow.
Unfortunately most Star Wars fanboys are big enough brand cucks that Disney'll be harvesting money off them until the sun burns out, so this is going to be the new status quo for the franchise. Looking one step above a Marvel/Hunger Games movie.
>>68028129
That's not the PEST.
>>68032277
>Empire use shitloads of tanks. The only reason why Hoth had none was because of extreme cold.
source!
>>68028061
Its way too soon to release another star wars movie.
>>68032421
Where are these in 4 5 6.
>>68031796
All TFA brought was a bunch of hunchbacks in brown drapes. I agree though, for all that movie tried to tug on the threads of fans it sure didn't have any of the iconic species in there. Except the ones that are memes of course!
>>68029557
All that post production shaky cam
>>68029678
>people too stupid to realize that all cgi ages poorly because of texturing and lighting effects the post.
This seriously applies to pretty much every effect of every movie for the past two decades. I bet people seriously think starship troopers cgi looks good.
>>68029557
God the battles in the Prequels always drove me insane.
They're so fucking shitty, I mean look at that shit, they're literally just walking toward each other white taking the occasional shot.
>>68029141
>stop motion animation
literally the slowest form of special effects there is.
It was great to watch, Ray Harryhausen was a true artist, but CG is faster and you can EDIT it (imagine using stop motion animation and the director says he needs a different movement on what you are animating, you have to start completely over)
>>68033066
>practical effects dont age!
>>68033363
Ages a hell of a lot better than CGI because it's not affected by Kurzweil's Law.
>>68033363
The worst part of TFA is that most of the practical effects were shoddy at best. You could clearly see where the breakup of animatronics was which is double retarded because the reason practical effects were so good is because directors cleverly mixed them into the footage and setup the shots that way.
God TFA was so mediocre.
Why are people getting so butthurt about RO feeling too gritty or whatever?
Disney has even said that they will keep making SW movies past our lifetime.There is a whole universe of different stories to tell, it would get old real quick if they kept making the same "feel" (whatever the fuck that means) of all the movies coming out.
Lucas even said when he first set out to do 12 films, he wanted each trilogy to have its own feel and style so each trilogy possessed its own unique perspective/story. that's why he was critical of TFA, being too "retro".

This was an actual battle tactic when armies had thousands of soldiers to throw away in a single battle.
>>68029340

>>68034120
yeah and they promptly stopped upon realizing it was fucking stupid. They have all manner of armored and flying vehicles and support, no reason for them to be doing that shit.
>>68033567
Yet still manages to always look like shit desu
I've never felt immersed by practical effects which are improving at a far slower rate than CGI ever will, basically we will reach a point where CGI looks far better in almost every case.
>>68028061

>>68034882
>Living in the past
Interstellar was almost entirely practical.
>>68034944
What? What even is your argument??
That someone used practical effects therefore it is superior? It isn't as if surpassing technologies cause older technologies to degrade in quality. It simply means newer technologies will have a higher maximum standard of quality.
And don't try to reference shit looking CGI to prove your point, If you are unable to understand that the possibilities of the highest standard of CGI vs the highest standard of practical effects is much greater then you need to spend more time understanding technology and human advancement in general.
