Things I loved about it:
- Forest Whitaker (his line delivery is amazing! "The world is come undone...Imperial flags reign across the galaxy...")
- Jyn & Cass in the cockpit "Good." "Good."
- Donnie Yen. DONNIE FUCKING YEN. Donnie yen as a student of the force and a man aping the tenets of the Jedi. DONNIE YEN.
- Sassy robot!
- Bazooka/Rocket Launcher VS AT-AT's fucking JAW!
- Limping, pistol-brandishing Jyn VS tie fighter on platform
- The wide shots are fucking GORGEOUS.
- The score. The clever rearrangement of more than one existing, iconic piece of Star Wars music is nothing short of stunning here.
- I agree with Worry, the grunts-eye view is excellent. (We have never been ground troops much in live action Star Wars as audiences....a LITTLE bit in the prequels...but mostly only in the animated shows)
- Vader
- Lastly, there is a blend here of the prequels and the OT that I find so charming. You can feel/see hints of the old prequel era age here (not especially because of characters like Forest's who bridge that gap as a survivor), but it's overlaid with the OT as a pastiche, if that makes sense?
Anyways. They didn't even need this trailer. I was already there with bells on....but damned if this wasn't a fantastic trailer!
Oh and for those who wonder: This is who Forest Whitaker is playing.
Saw Gerrera.
