Star Wars Rogue one trailer

And then your lightsaber....?

 

And then show her the true power of the Dark Side

Was burned so bad by Ep 7 that I'm certainly not going to take anything on faith from a trailer. We'll see if it's any good when it comes out - though I admit I'm far more hopeful about this than I am Ep 8.

One thing's for sure though - good film or bad film, I suspect a looooooot of the characters in that trailer are gonna die!

I had such low expectations for 7 that when seeing it I really enjoyed it. However now I have high expectations for this...

[chromedog]

Yeah, like that. 

Is that a protectorate fighter in the trailer?

Nah, New ship  combination transport and/or gunship with variable geometry wings.  "U-wing" (I think it's the Incom UB-80 technically).  The wings move from both forward to swept back (looks like around a 130* sweep from forward to rear angle).

I am not convinced by the lead female character... I am hoping that she will be less wooden in the film itself.

Wooden actors in Star Wars films are a tradition!

I can attest to The Clone Wars getting very good as it goes on. I think the airing wasn't intentionally out of order, but rather that as the showrunners got more used to what they were doing, they were able to go back and have side stories that took place before, or show character backgrounds interspersed, etc.

Most importantly I think the show does a good job of showing us the authoritarian streak Anakin's developing alongside his increasing belief in unilateral heroics over negotiating and discussion, so his hamfisted fall in Ep III makes a bit more sense. But the side characters are given a lot of fleshing out, and we finally get an explanation about whether the Clones had autonomy or not in regards to O-66, which is huge. You also get a real sense of why some people really did have legitimate grievances with the Republic such that they joined the CIS, and also how the CIS' leadership exploited those grievances for their own ends.

The relation of some of the ex-CIS sorts to the Alliance gets a bit of a look in between TCW and Rebels (and honestly, the comics have been pretty fantastic too). Notably, in the trailer the character played by Forest Whitaker was in TCW - he led the resistance to a CIS takeover of Onderon - only for the Empire to rise, and so presumably some of those Onderonians went back into opposition.
