Not really digging this design, and "Deathtroopers", really?

Not really digging this design, and "Deathtroopers", really?

What's wrong with good old fashioned Stormtroopers and Scouttroopers for fucks sake, too "old fashioned" for the hip new audience they are going for?

I'm guess it's an elite squad that they drop behind enemy lines, ie ODSTs or fuck even Navy SEALs. Honestly, why do care that much? It doesn't even fucking matter really, we'll all die someday and the universe at large never give a shit about the existance of you, me or Star Wars. Go to bed kid.

Jesus you fucking nihilist get out of my thread.

Also, Rogue One thread.

Dumping new screens

How is this nigga not Thrawn

The only two things I've really heard of this movie are that there's a supposedly very cool scene where vader takes out a pack of rebels horror slasher style, and the second thing is that disney thought that was too dark and reshot it. So the bit of hype I had for it is gone. Will probably go see it in cinema though because brother/father will want to go.

...

Well looks like we'll be seeing plenty of Stormies afterall from what I see with the screens

I guess the Deathtroopers are there to sell toys

I really want to know the full extent of the reason Disney called for all those reshoots, I swear if they mess with the gritty realistic war nature of the film I'll be pissed, I don't want another quip filled PG-13 shit

Speaking of toys..

And yes this is a movie still, has Hasbro advertisement gone too far?

>not using imperial commandos or at least shadowtroopers

He's not blue enough.

>K-2SO in Detail

>Here's a full-body shot of the newest Star Wars droid — a security robot known as K-2SO (Kaytoo Esso), who is voiced and performed via motion-capture by Alan Tudyk (Firefly.) Compare his gunmetal gray surface to the shimmering plating of "Goldenrod" C-3PO, and you'll see the difference between a utilitarian droid like Kaytoo and a protocol droid like Threepio. Kaytoo wasn't built to socialize.

>He's as brusque and blunt as he is strong. "He has a very dry delivery," Edwards says. "He doesn’t realize what he's saying is very funny."

Oh boy I can't wait to hear what quipbot has to say

FUCK

this is right before ep4 chronologically, thrawn would still be fucking aorund in the unknown regions

Those helmets really do look bad. They were leaked ages ago, and I hoped they were fake. They were not.

And as if we didn't need any more reminders that Star Wars is just a platform for Disney to push their progressive agendas down everyone's throats


>Multicultural Cast

>In this behind the scenes shot from the Yavin-4 base, Edwards consults with some of his lead actors: Jones, Diego Luna, Yen, and Jiang and Tudyk (in his performance capture suit). The movie's Rebel team is a deliberately diverse mix from our own planet, meant to reflect a galaxy filled with a wide variety of humans from many different worlds (not to mention a healthy mix of creatures and aliens). “People are coming to the Rebellion because something has happened that has galvanized or politicized them,” says Hart. “The question just becomes: What are those triggers for different people in different places?"

>The Surly Pilot

>We don't yet know what kind of craft he'll be maneuvering, but Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler) will costar as the Rebel squad's lead pilot, Bodhi Rook. "He’s a very experienced pilot. Flies a lot of cargo, one of his key jobs," Kennedy says. "And he tends to be a little tense, a little volatile, but everybody in the group really relies on his technical skills."

he looks like a big guy

I thought that this would be the first Star Wars movie done right -- as in realistic for the setting and not meant to cater to families of the time

I guess I'm wrong and I can expect the comedic relief of whatever I was hoping this movie would be

oh man, memes!

Some more qt Felicity

>Jyn Erso

>We’ve seen father and son stories play out in Star Wars movies before, but Rogue One will present a father/daughter tale. Jyn's mission is personal, since her father, Galen (Mads Mikkelsen), is a scientist whose knowledge is being sought by both the Empire and the Rebellion. Producer John Knoll, the Industrial Light & Magic VFX pioneer, came up with the plot and from the start he wanted the lead character of Jyn Erso to be a woman. “I’m a father with three daughters, and I felt it was time to have a really good, smart, resourceful, strong female character in the lead of a movie like this,” he says, before adding: “I wrote that before I saw a treatment for Episode VII, so I didn’t know about Rey.”

>Captain Cassian Andor

>Diego Luna (Y Tu Mamá También) plays Capt. Cassian Andor, a Rebel stalwart who anchors the loose cannon Jyn. "He’s an intelligence officer and he’s got quite a bit of combat experience," says Kennedy. He's the quiet type, but that's a soldier's trait of not wanting to talk about the things he's seen. "He has a weariness that he carries," says Hart. "It comes from, 'We’re in it, I’m committed for the long fight, and it’s not something that I came to yesterday.'"

Must be for stress relief or something.

There's no legit source that says they reshot it to make it more family friendly.

>Chirrut Imwe

>Donnie Yen’s blind warrior believes in the Force, even if he isn’t necessarily sensitive to it. One goal of Rogue One is to step away from the Jedi and Sith to explore the heroism of ordinary people. “The Jedi are pretty much extinct,” says Edwards. “It’s up to normal, everyday people to take a stand to stop evil from dominating the world.”

>blind kung-fu master who uses the force but is not a jedi
>normal, everyday people

They need something elite that's more dangerous and threatening than a bunch of retarded stormtroopers, I kind of like the look.

>Rest for Baze and Chirrut

>Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen (Ip Man) plays Chirrut Imwe, a blind warrior monk who is not a Jedi but follows the path of the Force, and Chinese martial-arts actor and director Jiang Wen (Devils on the Door Step) co-stars as Baze Malbus, Chirrut’s Force-doubting rough-and-tumble protector. Like the original Star Wars, these characters owe a debt to the two peasants from a 1958 Akira Kurosawa adventure saga. “They’re inspired, again, by what inspired George in The Hidden Fortress, “ Kennedy says. “You could even say to some extent it’s, you know, R2 and C-3PO, a little bit of that.”

Fuck..

For R2.

Reminds me of this.

>A Galactic South Pacific

>We don’t yet know the name of this world, but it’s meant to evoke both heaven and hell — tranquility and war. “There’s this sort of South Pacific, tropical paradise planet that subconsciously leads into some of the imagery associated with World War II,” director Gareth Edwards says. “We went to lots of different places around the world, and one of them was the Maldives. When you're shooting Stormtroopers in paradise, you have the best job in the world, you know? You can't really deny it at that point.”

>Baze Malbus

>Jiang Wen's Baze doesn't believe in the Force — but he believes in Chirrut. He's in the fight out of devotion to his blind, trouble-finding friend. "He understands Chirrut’s spiritual centeredness, but he doesn’t necessarily support it," Kennedy says. "He supports what his friend deeply believes, but he’s much more of a pragmatic soldier."

What the fuck kind of name is Baze, "hey Baze lets go get blazed"

>His dialogue will be most likely Disney's signature "improv and say cringe worthy dumb shit with no punchline" garbage

>Director Orson Krennic

>Ben Mendelsohn's Director Krennic is already boxed in. Not only are the Rebels targeting the Death Star, but he has Darth Vader looming over his shoulder, and the Emperor has high expectations for the officers of the Empire. He's got a squad of Deathtroopers and his own wits to keep him safe — even from his fellow Imperials. "They all have their own agendas," says Knoll. "They don’t really trust each other and are always ready to backstab each other. Maybe that’s why the forces of good prevail and the forces of evil do not."

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure there was minimal backstabbing and plotting within the Empire because the Emperor and Grand Moffs kept a tight ship, and it wasn't till the Emperor died that that sort of scheming started to happen.

Also seems like all the white men are villains or background characters, wew so progressive Disney, just like the Star Wars I remember.

Pretty sexy tbqh

>Saw Gerrera

>This is the first example of a character from an animated Star Wars title crossing over into live-action. Forest Whitaker's Saw Gerrera is a freedom fighter whose brutal tactics unsettle the Rebellion. During the character's arc on The Clone Wars, a younger Gerrera learned that change and victory often come with horrific sacrifices. You can read all about his checkered history in EW's special breakout on the character. One surprising detail from this new image: Gerrera has more hair than we saw in the trailer. It's not clear if this is the result of the ongoing reshoots for Rogue One, or simply a change in appearance that he undergoes in the midst of the story.

God what a fucking mess this movie is looking to be

>And as if we didn't need any more reminders that Star Wars is just a platform for Disney to push their progressive agendas down everyone's throats
yea you are right
getting harder and harder to ignore

Some more deathrooper pics I found

im sure it belongs to a force-sensitive child they are hunting or something

>I've got Lord Vader breathing down my neck!

meh, the casting is pretty great so I don't really mind it

Old screenshot, if thats what the new Scouttroopers look like I'd be alright with it, but they might have scrapped the design altogether, haven't seen anything of them so far

The rule of 2 was meant to protect against that kind of thing. Seperation of Sith and Empire, with a relatively united Sith (because of the rule) pulling the strings of a united Empire

Something that I've never seen Star Wars touch on was any kind of beauty in the Sith. It was always bad vs good

...

Sheev said that if I don't crack this case, my pension is gone!

Gotta say I like it better than the new EP 7 Stormtroopers at least

Nevermind, looks like they are in the movie after-all

Cool drawing user, I like her

Why the fuck won't they show mads

He is gonna be unmasked Vader isn't he?

Yeah but at least we get some cool new trooper designs out of it, much better looking than the ones in Ep 7

And I guess the new tropical environment will be cool to see.

I'm just gonna watch it for that, the battles and the new troopers, fuck the story and the characters, except Felicity the qt.

...

thank

He's the main character's father.

F

where's Mads? he's all i care about

No photos of the guy

hes the key to all this

How can anyone be hyped for this after they flat out said they are butchering it

>believes in the force even if he isn’t necessarily sensitive to it.
>blind kung-fu master who uses the force

did you not read your own post?

>star wars
>kung fu

hes that race that sees through the force

...

You really thought we wouldn't see a single stormtrooper in this movie are you insane?
Did you even see the trailer?
Shame on you!

They used to be called storm commandos and wore black scout trooper armor.

Asian?

well i don't really expect star wars to step away from cliches

Miraluka.

Nah, he's just blind, I don't think they have eyes at all.

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Miraluka

such panty

LOL

Someone else saw Guardians of le Galaxy

DUDE TOYS LMAO

>I am Groot

Why couldn't they find a broken HK-47 and repair him?

They probably started out as that but then someone from marketing got focus group testing back and found out it was too ambiguous. And only nerds want ambiguity in their sci-fi.

Nice work user its looks fucking great let's hope they don't butcher it too much

Is it true that they are changing the film to be less serious or something? I'm afraid it's going to be like the Avengers.

Bitching that everyone isn't white is the reason people shit on white people nowadays

>doesn't believe in the Force

Isn't this set immediately before the OT i.e. about 30 years after Anakin sperged out and killed those kidlets? Why would he not believe in something that demonstrably existed in his life time? That's like me not believing in the ZX Spectrum.

>Alditrooper, specifically trained and adept in the art of European supermarket warfare

> no aliens.

Not watching it. Even Guardians is more Star Wars than this shite
