What are you doing? Why are you reading this? Odds are, you
already know whether or not you’re going to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Hell, most of you probably have tickets (or you’re not seeing
it until 2017). You don’t need me to tell you whether it’s good or not. Go see
Rogue One. Come back afterwards and we can discuss it then.
It’s been a rough week for a lot of folks. People are
looking for hope, and maybe, just maybe, two new international trailers for
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story can help with that a bit. Hope and resistance are what we've got to lean on right now, and like what we’ve seen thus far, they hammer that home hard once again.
We live in a magical time where we’re going to get a new
Star Wars movie roughly every year for the foreseeable future. That’s enough to make my childhood self retroactively explode with
glee. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first of the series
of films to exist outside of the main narrative line of that far, far away
galaxy, is up next, and Lucasfilm just dropped this awesome new behind the
scenes look. Check it out.
If you’re anything like me, you spent most of today checking
to see if your boss was around so you could watch this new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story teaser trailer. Totally worth the risk, right? If
you haven’t checked it out yet for some reason, you should take the opportunity
to do so below. Again, totally worth it.
Disney’s D23 Expo is currently going on right now, and while
I have almost zero interest in being there in person (crowds stress me the hell
out), this year is interesting solely because of Star Wars
(I don’t care about being the first to see new Marvel stuff, not even at all).
We’ve already heard that there won’t be any new footage from The ForceAwakens, but there are a ton of other things going on in that far,
far away galaxy, and Disney and Lucasfilm unveiled some new info about the future
of the franchise, and there’s a few badass nuggets to be sure.
Yesterday’s big announcement that Phil Lord and ChrisMiller, the duo behind The Lego Movie and 21 JumpStreet, are making a movie about a young Han Solo movie is enough to
keep Star Wars fans busy for a while, but that’s not all
we’re going to get. With San Diego Comic-Con this week, and Lucasfilm’s
presence, we knew more was on the way, and now some has leaked out ahead of
schedule, namely an image showing the entire upcoming Star
Wars slate.
