Interesting that it looks like they are going with a male/female combo just like it was told in the Dark Forces video game. Except now instead of Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn it looks to be this Jen girl and a yet unnamed guy.

I have watched the trailer about 5 times. I didn't know how excited I should get about the movie but I am all in now. It looks beautiful. And Star Destroyers Man! Star Destroyers!


Good think I am no longer in high school, because I would totes have Jyn and Rey magazine cutouts in my locker.

This looks awesome. And now I have something to look forward to before Episode 8. Makes the wait not seem so long

I had to rewind that a few times because I thought she said Jan. I wonder how much of that plot line they use

I wanted some shots of Vader, but I get why they didn't. This isn't a story about Vader. But honestly that's the main selling point for me. I want to see Vader be the total badass. He shows up and utter destruction ensues. He should be the boogie man for the rebels. When they see him striding down the hall with his red lightsaber their only option is to flee.

Very true. Unless you're an advanced jedi, Vader might as well be a horror villain to you. If you hear him coming, you run. And he keeps coming.

The only time we've ever seen Vader on a "battlefield" is following stormtroopers into Leia's corvette and into Echo Base after everyone has already evacuated.

I agree, having a scene where Vader shows up leading the 501st against insurgents cutting people down and force-choking ******* would be epic.

In some of the recent novels and comics, Vader is what Baber describes, just this powerful person who just mauls people down. It is possible that we get to see this.

We haven't seen it in a movie but he was a bad *** in the First Force Unleashed video game mowing down a bunch of Wookies.

Awesome trailer!

I have mixed feelings on showing Vader. I either want him not in it at all, or done really really well. I'm afraid the world or Star-Wars nerds (self-included) will be forever critiquing him if the actor who plays Vader doesn't walk exactly right, have exactly the right nuances, etc. Can James Earl Jones still "sound right" these years later?

Since this is Vader just before Ep. IV (so it seems), he must be exactly right.

Looks pretty awesome. So much to be excited about but I'm especially pumped to see Ben Mendelsohn play an Imperial officer. One of those actors I've liked in everything I've seen him in and could see him absolutely killing this.

They are supposedly taking great care to get him right.

As for James Earl Jones, he voiced Vader in Star Wars Rebels and I thought he sounded just fine. They can enhance audio so much these days I don't think they'll have any problem getting it right.

When James Earl Jones passes away they are done with Vader in anymore films. The thought of having any other voice is sacrilege. To me it's the voice that makes the character.

By then they will be able to synthesize it. All good.
