Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
Riddle me this: who would sign up to die? For citizens to sign up via open recruitment, they must have some sense of patriotism or strong conviction(s) about the good of their nation. The Empire must be brainwashing their citizens. How else can Palpatine justify his actions? Again, I stress Palpatin...

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
I did not memorize the dialogue from the original trilogy; however, if I remember correctly, Luke never specified where he wanted to go. I believe the movie left it ambiguous. If my memory is lacking, the imperial academy is not an integral part of the plot, or it would play a much larger role in th...

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
The movies (by movies I mean original trilogy) never made reference to recruitment. I believe that is purely fan speculation or content from EU.

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
The vast majority of Stormtrooper in the Original Trilogy were not clones. There is no evidence to suggest the Empire was brainwashing dudes like the First Order is. Many people willingly signed up or desired to sign up: including Luke, some of his friends - and if we count EU even our own beloved ...

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
I am glad the literacy of this community hasn't changed any. I never explicitly said Hitler was "the only evil nazi," I simply intimated many of his soldiers and citizens were, for lack of a better word, brainwashed. Hitler was something of a savior after reviving the German economy post-W...

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
Are you trying to tell me that in the context of the Star Wars universe the Rebels are not good and the Empire is not evil? I am telling you that. The "Empire" is literally a bunch of overzealous imperialists who sympathize with a single individual (darth sidious). The only person in the ...

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
Rebelling =/= pitting good against evil. America rebelled against GB, but that certainly doesn't make them evil. Rebellion is a violent way of expressing discontent. C'mon English major, why is your argument flawed? Still waiting for Ceasar's movie pitch that doesn't boil down to good vs. evil. Luke...

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
I don't mind pitting good against evil. I never said that anywhere. I said the trailer lacked originality. Really, another Death Star ending?? Big Shock! No idea how that will end! Literally anything would be better than ANOTHER death star movie. Stop coming up with titles Disney. Just start naming ...

Re: Rogue One teaser trailer
I think Disney is running out of ideas. The trailer looked like any cookie-cutter star wars flick. Dude x rebels against the empire. Haven't seen that before! If Disney wants me to go see VIII, they better buy some creativity, seeing as how they can afford practically everything else.
