So we're getting a movie about a female X-Wing or some other fighter ship pilot? I can dig it. Female space Top Gun. I hope there's a vollyball scene between her and her Togruta friend.

But seriously, I love the title and if it does center around fighter pilot(s), I'm totally on board with that. I remember reading the X-Wing books.

Thank the gods it is not a Boba Fett movie.

Leaked cam version of the teaser trailer!

Rogue One takes place between Episode III and Episode IV, but Edwards noted “maybe a little bit more towards IV,” and said that A New Hope is his favorite film.

Since it takes place not-to-long before A New Hope I'm guessing we'll have bit of Darth Vadar in this one, eh? Since Disney bought Star Wars I'm sure they're itching to put Darth into a film.

As long as it's light enough on prequel-references that I can continue pretending they don't exist, I'm game for this.

[MekaGojira3k]

I'm not against this, but I feel like...we're gonna get so much Star Wars so quickly the franchise will have to hide away for a decade or two before anybody cares again.

INB4 GARETH WILL CUT AWAY BEFORE WE GET TO SEE AN X-WING.

It could only burn out if the movies are all space operas like the trilogies. These Anthology movies, as they are calling them, need to be different in style and tone from the main series but still within the same universe.

Rouge One sounds like a political/military thriller/heist movie. At bit more gritty and serious than the main series. And I welcome that.

But they also need to hit the other end of the spectrum and have more of a fun light hearted maybe even comedy focused entry. I totally vote to see a Blues Brothers-esque film but with the Cantina band (which Google tells me is Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes).

Although I still wish there were more space between releases, if they kept up with the previous trilogy's track record of 3 years between each movie they could put one anthology film in between each episode with a year break between each movie.

Josh Trank recently exited the Disney project, which will follow the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter

[XvGojira]

So it'll weave around Attack of the Clones? Since that was technically his origin story. Or will we see him grow up with the other Bounty Hunters from the Clone Wars cartoon series. There was a dropped arc that could kind of work with it. The bounty hunter Cad Bane would help young Boba shape up into a great bounty hunter only to go against him because Jango died before he could prove he was a better bounty hunter. I could see something like that stretch out over a few movies as sort of a B-plot.

It could work. I know some people are tired of how popular Boba is for what little screen time and his chump death in RotJ. But if we just got some great adventures of Boba taking down some difficult bounties, I'm all for that.

[The Shadow]

As ignominious as Fett's death in ROTJ is, I think that even with adding more to his official story that it's a thoroughly plausible way for Boba to buy the farm. Think about, Fett has been built up as the best of the best and knows all the tricks (probably even created a few) so he knows what to expect if someone is out to get him. A completely accidental blow from an effectively blind guy that causes an equipment malfunction? No way to plan for that, it's not the blaze of glory death some people may want but it is kind of realistic.
