The second Rogue One trailer has been released with a ton of new footage and plenty of things
to explore and dissect so let’s just dive right in!
We open on Jedha.
They weren’t kidding when they likened it to a holy city.
This place looks just like Jerusalem.
But you know, with TIE Fighters.
I’m really digging those new shuttles, and I’m willing to bet that’s the kind of
ship Bodhi will be flying.
Saw Gerrera is looking pretty hopeless.
Desperate.
Probably why he’s so extreme.
It looks like he’s seen some pretty rough stuff.
Maybe Jyn and her group will restore a little bit of his hope by the end of the film.
This shot of the walled city on Jedha is SO cool!
I want to know more about that tall building.
Could it be an ancient Jedi temple?
All of this stuff with Jyn is very similar to what we’ve already seen.
Nothing more to discuss, really.
That same shot of the Death Star’s superlaser, but hey it’s a cool shot, use it as much
as you want Disney!
I was expecting Cassian to be like Jyn’s untrusting handler, but it looks like they’re
going to be peers right off the bat.
He wants to help her, not control her.
U-Wing on Yavin!
I guess that’s Jyn and Cassian leaving.
Man I just want to go exploring all over Yavin, those temples look so cool!
Cassian mentions he’s been recruiting for the Rebellion for a long time.
He’s probably talking about Saw Gerrera and his lack of cooperation.
But Cassian might see him as a good first stop on their mission and a potential ally
in the coming battle.
I’m pretty intrigued by this planet.
It could be Jedha at night.
I’ve speculated and Entertainment Weekly has somewhat confirmed that Jedha is loaded
up with kyber crystals.
These rock formations could be the result of major blast mining, which is similar to
what we’ve seen the Empire use in A New Dawn.
But this could also be a new planet we haven’t seen yet.
We get some really cool shots of Baze and Chirrut in the same location.
It just seems so different from what we’ve seen of Jedha in terms of terrain and climate,
I don’t know what to make of it yet.
Baze mentions that the Empire destroyed his and presumably Chirrut’s home.
It looks like they’re attacking a base wherever they are.
See this shot of Jedha looks SO different, that’s gotta be another planet we’re seeing,
right?
But where is it and what are they doing there??
Chirrut fears nothing because all is as the Force wills it.
I’m preeeeetty sure Chirrut will be my favorite new character.
Unless it’s K2-SO.
He seems like fun.
I don’t know why but this shot of the Death Star quote unquote upside down made me really
excited.
Why?
Nothing’s different about it it’s just a unique shot.
Also it looks like it’s orbiting Jedha and not Scarif.
I would have thought it would stay put on Scarif but maybe the Death Star moves around
a lot.
Maybe we’ll see the Death Star enter hyperspace!
That would be nuts!
THE DEATH STAR ECLIPSES THE SUN ON JEDHA!
SO!
COOL!
This is one of the coolest shots of Krennic we’ve seen.
Still no lines delivered by him yet.
But he definitely looks imposing enough.
The U-Wing dropping off troops as X-Wings fly overhead!
This looks sick!
A couple quick shots but one that caught my eye is this hovertank blowing up what could
be a civilian building.
We know Bodhi is a defecting Imperial pilot or employee of sorts.
I wonder if he’ll witness some brutality by the Empire against his friends or family
that cause him to defect.
I also think this attack will begin from some terrorist act led by Saw Gerrera.
K2-SO says the mission will likely fail, but no one tells him to not never tell them the
odds.
More shots of that rocky planet.
This time with X-Wings!
I want some information on this world like yesterday!
The X-Wings help attack that base.
Baze launches a rocket at some incoming AT-ACT, that beach attack looks intense!
Jyn might be getting through to Saw a little bit.
I expect him to have kind of the Han Solo arc of this film.
I could see him coming in to save the day on Scarif.
Okay what is going on here??
It looks like Jedha is getting messed up!
I’m gonna start speculating wildly RIGHT NOW.
I believe the Death Star will not be fully operational at the time of this film.
Maybe they don’t have enough kyber crystals, or they aren’t big enough or something.
So if the Death Star is at Jedha, maybe they fire the Death Star at the planet and it causes
this to happen.
Not complete destruction, but still some massive damage.
Mon Mothma mentioned a major weapons test is imminent.
I just assumed that meant Alderaan, but maybe the Empire plans to destroy Jedha from the
start to cover their tracks.
Back on that rocky planet.
It’s driving me crazy that I don’t know anything about it!
But a TIE Fighter is about to crash into an Imperial building of some sort.
Bummer for those guys.
See I was expecting we’d see Jedha and Scarif and that might be it for new planets, but
it looks like we’re gonna get a third and that’s just awesome!
Jyn is on some sort of platform at Scarif and a TIE Fighter flies up to meet her.
Very cool shot.
The hero shot of most of the team.
Aaaaand the money shot.
We knew he’d be back, but hearing the breathing is just another thing altogether.
I really hope they treat him well.
I want to see him as an unstoppable force of terror that none of our main characters
truly understand.
There is a scene of Vader in Lords of the Sith where he just tears a ship apart from
one end to the other.
I want to see that on film.
I want to see what he can do to a bunch of poor, normal, non Force-sensitive soldiers.
But that brings us to the end!
What did you guys think of the new trailer?
What did I miss?
What do you want to talk about?
