leftover money??? oh god, the effects are going to suck.

I wonder how much this actually cost vs how much the marketing for it is costing?

They'll have to spend a mountain of money on marketing this.

yeah, it won't be cheap to get across that this isn't a real star wars movie.

Kiddin aside they will have to spend a ton to make people who are just casual fans malware that it 1. Isn't the follow up to FA and 2. It's set before a new hope.

a crawl sure would take care of that problem out of the gate

And we're not getting one. Weirdness ahead.

it will be fine, unless disney has illusions that this one is going to make more money than TFA did.

That's the issue. This is their flagship stand alone. It's returns will not only affect future stand alone attendance but could overshadow negatively on 8s returns. The campaign to differentiate this from the main trilogy is the mission. It could backfire horribly.

I already have a top ten of questions from confused casual fans. Is that Rey? Is she from the empire now? It's set before the first star wars? You mean the first one or the first first one? Oh so it's a prequel? So Is that reys mom? I thought the prequels are all bad? So this doesn't follow force awakens?


It's only July. I'm dreading the next few months.

i find your lack of faith disturbing.

A lot of our faith on Disneys marketing has taken a hit.

Celebration is their big storefront for what's coming.

They didn't release a rogue one trailer.


Can't recall how far out we had force awakens title or trailers but we definitely had a few by the time celebration rolled around last year,
A few months, 6 months out from release

These are real questions?

i wouldn't be too worried:

A teaser trailer for Rogue One [was] released by Lucasfilm on April 7, 2016 ... The trailer was viewed close to 30 million times in its first 29 hours at a rate of 800,000 views per hour from Facebook and YouTube, which is 200,000 views shy of what the first teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was receiving in November 2014.

Daily. In real life.

There is no way this movie bombs. Just because of the brand....the common viewer might be confused about where this story takes place? Yeah, maybe...but i dont think its going to be a problem...its going to make shitloads of money anyway.

The lack of the trailer reinforces my theory of " Disney change the tone of the movie".

the release of a trailer hardly requires a final cut of a movie, VG.

True..there was stuff in the force awakens trailers that wasnt in the film..dialogue and scenes..(who are you? im no none ..and Maz handing the lightsaber to leia)

Yeah I don't get your logic here, VG. A trailer is at most 3 minutes. So unless they are reshooting the entire movie, I'm sure they can pull 3 usable minutes from original shooting to make a trailer.

What did I miss?
