Star Wars: Rogue One

[ZRod]

I know Star Wars movies aren't know for their amazing dialogue, and it's only a trailer, but from what I've seen and heard this doesn't look that promising to me... I really hope I'm wrong.

Unfortunately that's just how (most) action movies are today. Come up with the biggest/flashiest/most innovative way to have a bunch of CGI action scenes and try to work a story around that.

And I hate it! Don't get me wrong, I like Michael Bay movies when they're not sequels and don't take themselves serious, but most movies today are garbage. Poor back stories, poor dialogue, and poor character development. I'm not saying Star Wars is there yet, but the last movie was sorely lacking in any originality. This one looks to be lacking the substance and chemistry.
But it's only a couple trailers...

That's how I felt about Fantastic Beasts. The story could have been better, but they spent a lot of time on the final creature at the end. It was a good show, but could have been better with a better overall story.

I'd say they've more than gotten their money's worth out of the TIE Fighter variations.

How many of those are now canon?

I am having a joygasm right now.

Pretty excited to see this. But, I gotta say, I hate the whole "A Star Wars Story" moniker attached to it. Rouge One would have sufficed.

Ya. I mean, did they think people wouldn't have figured it out without the title?

Even the title: "Star Wars: Rouge One" would have been better. The whole "story" being added to the title kinda feels off.

The generation that grew up with the original trilogy probably would have. The generation that was barely born when the prequels were released not so much.

I like this idea. I probably also won't catch Rogue One in theaters. It looks reasonably good, in a way that a probably well executed action movie does. And I miss plenty of those.

This, though...

To an extent maybe, but Star Wars is a pretty iconic piece of pop culture.

Yes. Star Wars is. "Rogue One" isn't. Thus, they included the part that is iconic to help sell it.

Yeah....that's quite clear. Marketing 101. And even if they leave the Star Wars tag off of it, do they honestly make less money?

It's the "story" part I take issue with, it sounds cheap and lame.

Gotcha. I agree that "Star Wars: Rogue One" would have been cleaner, imo.

I don't know that they really make less money. But for basically no additional cost, there's not reason not to include it.
