The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Her reply sounded like Don't bypass the filter like this. Reds8n
or was that just me?
Pretty much killed it for me after that!
But If I'm being honest, it kind of felt meh. Yeah, it's only a teaser trailer, but it doesn't have the same gravitas as the TFA trailers.
Maybe that's a good thing, because I thought TFA was an average film. Maybe it's a rule of thumb: Good trailer = bad film, bad trailer = good film.

Seconded, if that level of 'acting' is anything to go by
On a more serious note, if you go into a film knowing what's going to happen, it kinda reduces the tension for me.

If you wait through tip the end of the clip, Mark Hamill shows up in an interview. And he looks stoned/pissed/had a stroke. Can't tell which.
Movie looks fun though. Looks like it'll be a MUCH different style to what we've seen in Star Wars so far, but they can do that; it exists outside of the core films.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Due to work, I can usually only ship any sales or trades out on Saturday morning. Please trade/purchase with this in mind.

Much like his performance in TFA.
Seems like it was trying to get you to click a link to hear what he had to say. I assume if you click it he will break out in a song and dance routine.
On the subject of Death Stars, this will be the fourth star wars film out of eight to feature a Death Star
It would be nice to have some originality once in a while.

Oh I really like the look of this. I've been excited for a while about a Star Wars film that looked outside of the one family that keeps screwing the galaxy up. This looks like it is seriously going to deliver.

It's part of a bit.
Kathleen Kennedy talks for a while and Mark just stares at the camera. She tells him to say something and then he looks suprised and says, "Oh... I have dialogue?! I'm used to just staring intensely."

Huh. In the movie I saw, his "performance" was about 10 seconds of screen time that consisted of him turning his head and staring. You must have gotten access to an extended version or something.

If you knew more about the film, you would know that this is set during the time of the Death Star and is not set in the new timeline of The Force Awakens.
So I mean, this makes perfect sense for there to be a Death Star......
I didn't feel that TFA needed a "Death Star", so I can understand the criticism that film gathered from having one, but certainly a film about stealing the plans to the original Death Star should feature a Death Star.

I'm aware of the storyline, and logically, it does makes perfect sense to have a deathstar, but from a creative sense, it feels like the cow has been milked once too often.
There's a whole galaxy to choose from, and trillions of potential storylines, alien races. could be set anytime else in the past, etc etc
Even if they decided to present this as 1970s East German arthouse it will still make a ton of money, and still have a ton of people watching it.
They can afford to push the boat out a bit and give viewers something different, and not another death star.

There is, and most people will know it before they even buy a bucket of popcorn
