Yeah, I was wondering when I found out they were going with a young woman as the main character if we were going to get the 'Disney princess' treatment. From what I've heard the character has her own issues but that doesn't at least seem to be one of them.

A movie or three or even a TV series as you said about this does sound pretty cool.

I do know they're casting for another Star Wars backstory type movie about young Han Solo.

That would be a good one to see Han Solo's beginnings as a smuggler, the partnership with Chewie and maybe a strained business deal gone bad with Jabba the Hut.

No GAF, please no more. Lol. But hey, if Disney can do Agents of Shield then why not a Star Wars spin off TV series. You could go along way with smugg..er free trade pioneers and bounty hu... I mean free lance law inforcement officers.

Yeah, someone said on the internet recently (I forget who) that if the whole Skywalker family had been killed in an accident years ago it would have saved the people of the galaxy a whole lotta grief!

Didn't someone write a couple of books about the adventures of Han Solo and Chewbacca before SW back in the '80s? I'm sure there were probably more beyond that. A movie or three or even a TV series as you said about this does sound pretty cool. I believe Jabba was ticked about Han jettsoning his cargo of valuble counterband just before being boarded by an Imperial ship? But it always sounded to me like there was bad blood between them even before, would be pretty cool to see something based around this.

Or even a series based on the adventures of Lando Carissian and Lobot before he took over Bespin!

    You know just about all the problems in the galaxy are directly related to the Jedi or Sith. It would be good to see what other stories there are. I would like to see something with smugglers and/or bounty hunters as the main story and the ships they use and modify.

    I would not mind a live action tv series like Star Trek TNG or the new Battlestar Galactica. I am sure they would have enough cgi models, they would just need characters (and good writers).

Hey Bob, you do have a point there about trying to get back to the original films. Just after going to see the second Abrams Trek movie- where he remade 'Wraith of Khan' and then find out for the 'new' SW movie he remade 'Star Wars' it's kinda hard to get too excited.

Gee frelling whiz, it's an entire galaxy of stories you can tell in ST or SW, I want new stuff!!! And this movie does sound like an exciting new story. Looking forward to it.  

Frankly I still haven't seen 'TFA' yet but I'm really looking forward to this one. I too want to see a 'new' SW movie rather than a rehash of the original plot. Plus I never really liked the Jedi, whenever I imagined myself as a SW character it was always a Han Solo type smuggler or a starfighter pilot. 

Well, I am sure you know Disney (in their infinite wisdom) has thrown what was considered canon out. So they can make up any story line they want. I am hoping that this will inspire the modeling companies to get some new "old" ships out there. I hear Bandai has an A-wing in the works, who knows what else may come of this.

Does this mean Kyle Katarn didn't actually steal the Death Star plans?

Its the story of how they got the plans for the first Death Star. So it taks place just before Ep IV.

Ye, i don't quite get that one. While i did like VII, i have agree with those who say its almost a re-hash on Ep IV, and i think having a small band of resitance fighters is another nod to that. The only logical explanation is that the New Republic is weak after many years of war with the Empire after the death of the Emperor.

I have given up on thinking about the plot line of the Star Wars live-action movies.  I have enjoyed watching "Star Wars Rebels" simply because it is a cartoon, and "suspension of belief" is much easier when watching a cartoon.

It is with that in mind that I do not hold out much hope for "Rogue One".  I'm sure it will be enjoyable, with only a "what was that all about" feeling.

I thought ep. VII was good, but it could have been better. I still don't understand why after 30 yrs. There is still just a resistance force and the "new republic" doesn't take a more active role against the first order. In the end it bit them bad.

I hated Episode VII,but surprisingly find myself a bit excited about Rogue 1.The fact that R1 deals with the original Death Star make that thing in E7 look even dumber.

It is all happening as I have forseen it!

I just checked out the trailer, looks good to me, but just ablout anything SciFi gets my vote.

I had not been all that entralled about Rouge One, not sure why. Then i saw the trailer. proper Stormtroopers and AT-AT's gets my vote any day. I think as we get more teasers, i will take more intertest in it.

I just hope we get some proper models out of it though.

And let us not forget that the release of Rouge One also kicks of the next Star Wars GB
