Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer Reaction - The Hottest

Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer Reaction - The Hottest

It’s crazy to think that we now live in a world where we get a new Star Wars film every year. What a time to be alive.

Last Christmas we had Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you can read our review here, but this Christmas, Santa is bringing us another kind of Star Wars movie.

We are getting our first anthology film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – But for ease of writing, we are going to be using the more commonly used name, Star Wars: Rogue One.

Before reading any further, if you haven’t seen the trailer yet (and why haven’t you?) – Then you can watch it below:

The film is directed by British director Gareth Edwards, whose films include Monsters & Godzilla (2016). Unlike previous Star Wars films, the films cast is an accomplished ensemble featuring some incredibly talented actors. This isn’t to say previous actors weren’t good, far from it, it’s just when you compare all the casts together, Rogue One stands out as a clear winner.
When your cast has the likes of Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker and Mads Mikkelsen you are definitely doing something right. And that’s without mentioning the extremely talented Felicity Jones and the legend that is Donnie Yen!

The Force Awakens did a phenomenal job of delivering the look and feel of classic Star Wars. Rogue One has taken that to whole new level.
The sets, the costumes, the sounds…everything feels and looks like A New Hope. From the classic Star Destroyer to the amazing Gonk droids.

It’s clear that the tone of Rogue One will stand apart from The Force Awakens, as this is a straight up war movie. It’s going to be like the Battlefront games, with more focus on non-force users. So don’t expect to see any lightsaber fights!

It’s going to focus on normal Rebel fighters taking on the Empire, and spoiler alert….they accomplish their mission and steal the Death Star plans. But how they do it, and how many people we lose along the way is where it gets really interesting.

There was nothing really negative to say about the trailer. The “I rebel” line was the only thing that stood out. It was a little cheesy, we saw how bad-ass her character is going to be, we didn’t really need the line. But this is a teaser trailer, they’ll fix that when the story trailer comes out. You can’t really form an opinion on how a character is going to pan out in a teaser trailer.

Oh, and another Star Wars film with a female lead? Why not? As long as the story for a lead character in a film is good, then gender, ethnicity, sexuality and anything else you want to bring up is redundant. All we want is good storytelling and classic Star Wars. It’s sad that in 2016 that we still have to talk about things like this.

With all that being said, let’s move on to some key points from the trailer. We will mention the Extended Universe during our breakdown, and yes we know Disney removed the EU from the canon, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t still taking from it.
