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.
Honestly, I’m much more interested in this than TFA. Looks good so far.

Is this what you’re looking for?
I’ve found that the key to these things is to adjust expectations appropriately. By merely hoping that it would not be execrably awful, The Force Awakens was a delightful surprise. I’m taking the same approach for Rogue One and the other forthcoming Star Wars films coming down the line.
