Tweet of the Day, THIS ROGUE ONE/SABOTAGE MASHUP VIDEO WINS THE INTERNET TODAY Edition.

It’s absolutely perfect. Absolutely.  They even incorporated Rogue One’s funky alarms. I am in awe and must now watch this film, and the studio didn’t even make the trailer.

Annnnnd here’s the new Rogue One trailer.

It gets another post because screw it it’s my site. Gonna watch it a couple of times to get a better feel for it.

…OK. One question, here: yes, I understand that there are more accents out there than American.  But is there an American accent in this film at all?  They all seem to be hailing from various parts of the British Commonwealth.

So now they have teasers for the new Rogue One trailer.

This is really very sa… oh, who am I kidding?  I’m checking YouTube and Google every five minutes, myself.  Rogue One in some ways benefited from The Force Awakens, and in some ways has been hampered by it: when it turned out that people still remembered after all how to make Star Wars movies that didn’t actually suck we were all relieved, sure.  But then we allowed ourselves too many sips from the dangerous chalice of Hope.

And so, now, we all waver on the edge of cynicism and desire.  Will it be bad? Will it be awesome?  We don’t know! – So we all watch the trailer like Cold War Kremlinologists used to watch Soviet May Day parade footage, and we try to glean meaning from various positions on a crowded field. It is… our destiny.

Or something like that.

I sense a great disturbance in the Force…

…no, wait, that’s just people starting to realize that that earlier Rogue One footage was what the rumors about a new trailer were actually referring to. Me? I’m chill about it. After all: BLIND DUDE WITH A STAFF AND KUNG FU. Mission Get Moe’s Attention has been a-freaking-ccomplished, is all I’m saying.

tl/dr; :waving fingers: There is no second Rogue One trailer.

Rogue One featurette waves two middle fingers in George Lucas’s face.

This isn’t the new trailer. This is the behind-the-scenes clip where the director and crew pretty much admits that Lucas taught them to stay as far away from bluescreen as possible. Real explosions! Real people in costumes! Actually moving the things that are supposed to be moving!

THEY ALSO HAVE A BLIND GUY WITH A STAFF WHO KNOWS KUNG FU. THIS IS RELEVANT INFORMATION. I FEEL THAT IT REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED EARLIER.

Darth Vader returns to Star Wars.

Voiced by James Earl Jones… and not bodied by David Prowse. Apparently that particular feud was ported over to the new owners.  And I can’t… actually, I’ve decided to not have an opinion on said feud.  Life is too short.

As for Darth Vader being in Rogue One: well, geez, easier to have him in there than to say why he’s not, right?  I mean, it’s taking place when he’d be around, and all they need to do is to have James Earl Jones read some dialogue.  I assume that JEJ is hale enough to do that, and it’d be cool if he did.
