Not sure if this was posted in the other Star Wars thread, but even if it was, it should be here:



This is going to completely fucking demolish all the other new SW movies. I love Gareth Edwards so much.

There's more vision and tactility in those two images than in the entire Force Awakens trailer. And yes, that's the Death Star.

Also, I can pretty much tell just by you telling me one movie is made by Abrams and the other is made by Edwards.

it all depends on the total mass of the death star. consider that there's a lot of hallways and ducts leading to trash compactors and great caverns within which bodies pile up, so its not made up of the mass of say a planet or a moon.

Spoiler: show
Definitely set during the "Dark Time" of the Empire (between Episodes III and IV)

Being coined as "darker and grittier" than any other Star Wars film to date

The film seems to be aiming to be much like an old school war film; Think Hamburger Hill meets Star Wars

All the Jedi are said to be in hiding; expect this story to leave them in the background

Stormtroopers have same armor as they do in the original films (i.e. episodes IV - VI)

Lots of alien life forms, Mon Calamari among them

New droids and aliens will be introduced. Kind of a no-brainer, but just so you know it's not just a bunch of rebels

At-Ats, X-Wings, Y-wings, At-Sts are said to be present

Implied that some of the film will take place on Yavin-4; a lot of armies in the jungle and various battlefield locations

Looks like a new droid will be part of the band of rebels attempting to steal the Death Star plans

Felicity Jones is seen dressed as a rebel soldier ready for battle; expect her to get her hands dirty in this one
