The Star Wars: Rogue One Teaser Trailer Dropped Today And It Looks Pretty Good
Holy shit, was that Forrest Whitaker?!?! We went from basically an all white universe to the ugliest black dude on Earth. And it looks like we are also going to be getting a little Jackie Chan type of kung fu sprinkled in as well. Disney wasn’t kidding when they said that they were going to expand the Star Wars universe. #Progress.
This movie is supposed to take between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and is based on the Death Star plans that the rebels stole and Leia stored in R2-D2 at the beginning of ANH. And you know what the best part of this is? Darth Vader is suited up, so they don’t need to hire any specific actor to play him. Because while Hayden Christensen wasn’t terrible, just seeing his face reminds me of the prequels. So we will have the baddest villain in movie history dusting off the 4-5 to choke motherfuckers out and gut people with his lightsaber. I also had to double check to make sure that James Earl Jones is alive. Just seems like a guy that could have died like five years ago. Mark my words, if James Earl Jones isn’t the voice of Darth Vader, this movie is going to be a flop. Oh yeah, and the Death Star getting built was awesome. Those five seconds of the trailer definitely led to millions of nerd boners around this great nation of ours.
However, I hope we don’t get a lot of Mon Mothma. That bitch has the personality and sex appeal of cardboard. Considering Mickey Mouse and Co. are 1-for-1 with Star Wars movies, I’m pretty hyped for this one, even if these “one off” movies are given like 75% of the love as the legit Star Wars movies. Kind of like the Wolverine movies were to the X-Men movies. And I think we have a young Han Solo and a Boba Fett origin story in the pipeline. This should be a fun decade as a Star Wars fan.
