Let us analyse the ROGUE ONE Trailer.
The 1st trailer is finally out and it is impressive...
Most impressive !!!
It looks like a true war film of the Galactic War! As you probably know it should show the evolutions of a group of rebels that will have the mission to steal the plans of the death star.
This is not the story that is known from extended universe that is not anymore canonical since Disney took over.
Some points from my side:
 |
| Jyn |
First of all, the main character is a girl named Jyn Erso. Is there a trend now in Star Wars? Does it follows the current action films trend of having female war heroes : Katniss, Tris, superwoman, wonderwoman ...
In Star Wars there have been of course always strong women characters like Padme, Leia or Hera being quite brave in fighting but the First true fighter is Ashoka Tano that we have followed from her very joung days in Clone Wars to a full developed extremely powerful jedi in Rebels s02. Now Rey and Jyn are following this road ?
So Jyn will be the group leader (Or Rogue One in reference to dog fight squadrons). She is coming from the street with a turbulent passed with the Empire. Actually at the end we see her in an empire pilot suit. Is it her past ? Her future? Or just again the trick to have a stormtroopers suite to fool the Empire ? |
| Ezra |
Here there is strong parallel to Ezra, the Lothal orphan trouble maker. But is Jyn force sensitive? Seems not, but let see.
The rest of the group is made of several different guys. Each one probably with a speciality. This is usually so and it remembers "Ocean 11" or "Dirty Dozen" for example and in Star Wars the Clone Bad Batch. I even guess that it is Jyn herself that recruits the team : smugglers, bounty hunters... Clone Wars tv show really enlarged the bounty hunter world and personally I loved it and I want to see more.
Interesting details is that the team seems made of only humans (probably from different colonies) and no aliens. It is a pity to my mind.
Secondly, concerning locations: it is so nice to see again the known rebels uniform, helmets, droids... The first part of the trailer takes place in the Yavin 4 rebel base and in the same control room than EP IV where we can find MonMothma and general Dodonna (left side at back) among others.
Then we have a gorgeous view on the just finished Death Star. It appears enormous! !! It gives a feeling of being much much bigger than in EP IV. Star destroyers are looking like tie fighters in front of this!!
Rest of the trailer shows actions on unknown planets that we will have to discover!
Next point is more general: it looks like a heavy action movie showing something fans wanted to see since years: the true WAR! We see rebel prisoners in bad conditions. A beach full of dead bodies and a lot of fighting. The atmosphere is really showing the oppression of the Empire: Storm troopers everywhere (a lot of different types), Heavy vehicles and strong fire power. This movie will provably show finally the oppression and of the Empire on the populations and the heavy fight needed to get freedom.
Bad guys: well the grand admiral with white uniform is really impressive. This guy will be really really bad... who it is ?
Then there is a scene with a figure in black in front of cylinder (could be a tube to cure someone as explained by several fans but I do not think so). We see 2 guards of the emperor so the figure is probably a dark jedi or perhaps an inquisitor. I guess that the emperor sends a dark side force sensitive character against the rebels group. Let us hope for a good final duel then...
Destiny: During the second part of the trailer, we can here the voice of an heavy armored character (that is actually not part of the team if we consider the picture above) who is asking again the central question of the whole Star Wars saga : "What will you do ? What will you become ?". So this movie will be (as every chapter of the sage) the story of how the main character will accept/change here destiny and where will it bring her? Light side / dark side of the conflict....?
All together this looks really great and it expends the universe! This is really the direction I wanted to see for EP VII. So the target group is more this time on older fan base with strong references to the original trilogy and probably more of an adult movie.
As a conclusion I expect a "Dirty Dozen" like film in the Star Wars world.
Cannot wait to see it !!!!!!!!!
