crumbs 14,313 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I think Kenny Baker was just given a customary credit for TFA, but he wasn't actually in the droid or on-set during filming. At least, according to this: Quote Baker has since revealed he was a "consultant" in the latest film and didn't wear the R2D2 costume. But is that really surprising given his age? He appeared at the London premiere of the film this week in a wheelchair, so perhaps he wasn't physically able to return to the role. http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2015/12/17/actors-who-play-r2d2-c3po-are-still-f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,286 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm sure I'll see it in theaters, but at least for now I'm definitely more excited for the album than the film, which to me looks like most contemporary action blockbusters but just with Star Wars stuff in it.

mrbellamy 6,286 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The main thing I don't really like about this trailer is how poker-faced it is. The bits from the Force Awakens teasers that endeared me to the whole idea of it were Oscar Isaac shamelessly going "WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!" in an X-Wing, Boyega running around looking all sweaty and exhausted and freaked out, the smirk on Han Solo's face inside the Falcon. It looked like they were really going for it and I felt a lot of that come across in the film itself too. I get that this is trying to be different but the tone of this trailer just gives me that kinda neutral, srs bsns vibe that always bores me in modern action movies. It looks cool and all but not getting much personality from this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definitely be a cinematic experience, though. Dude's talented. There's a difference between having a serious tone and having a flat one, or a miserable like some movies I can name.

Brónach 1,302 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'd expect this to be more in the intense side, due to the particular suicide mission/heist thing subgenre they chose. That can actually be quite fun if you have good characters, but not necesarily in the same way as what TFA wants to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 454 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I actually really like the teaser so far. It's markedly different than The Force Awakens, and I'm digging the Zero Dark Thirty meets Star Wars vibe Edwards is going for. As long as the final film has some elements of fun, I'm fine with it being more serious than TFA. The visuals look beautiful, but it has that overly clear digital look in sections (where Jyn talks with Mon Mothma). I'm hearing conflicting reports that Rogue One is shot entirely on the Arri Alexa and the Alexa 65, but also those cameras and 65mm film stock. I'll definitely see it this Christmas.

Thor 7,503 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm a huge fan of Edwards (adored both MONSTERS and GODZILLA for various reasons, especially his downtempo camera movements), so the film is in safe hands and looks stunning! Desplat, however, I'm more critical of. I've never liked him (with an exception or two), so I'm extremely skeptical. Especially if you're judging it by the HARRY POTTER scores, which were mostly directionless meandering and a far cry from Williams in any shape or form. But hey -- who knows? Maybe he'll be able do something great for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
