Yeah, all of this is very good - Death Star, hints of Vader and Palps, Star Destroyers, AT-ATs.  All very, very good.

Don't really care for the revisionist history of adding all these "specialty death troopers" to the OT era... it's just Stormies, Snowies, Sandies, and Biker Scouts, dammit!

I liked those Tank Trooper guys in that ground vehicle - those were pretty neat.  Can't wait to buy that toy...

Interesting how the new movies have female leads. Could this be Disney's way of feminizing star wars to get girls in to it?

Here are some screencaps that caught my eye:

The return of Mon Mothma?






















And Royal Guards, anyone?

I would think it's Emporer Palpatine by virtue of the Royal Guards standing sentry.

And a Grand Admiral?  Awesome

And Mon Mothma?  Nice!  It even looks like they got the same actress that played her in REVENGE OF THE SITH.

According to EW, it is indeed the same actress.

I would think it's Emporer Palpatine by virtue of the Royal Guards standing sentry.

Yeah, those guards definitely suggest Palps is somewhere nearby.  Maybe that scene is in his DS1 private chambers or something...?

I checked IMDB as soon as I saw the trailer hit.  It definitely made for some nice viewing on the train this morning.  Anyhow, that was around around 8:30 ET.  At that time there was no listing for Mon Mothma on the ROGUE ONE page.  But it's been updated, and Genevieve O'Reilly, who played Mon Mothma in ROTS, is now listed on IMDB as part of the cast.

What I'm really curious about now?  Does Ian McDiarmid factor in as a cast member now given the scene showing those Royal Guards?

Nice trailer...  Looks a lot better than I was thinking it might, certainly having that "realistic" feel to it like the OT films and even TFA did.  The ships and equipment look like they will blend nicely with the OT films.  Cool to see the classic Rebel Pilots, Fleet troopers, the Yavin Base, even Mon Mothma looking just like she did in ROTJ.  Another movie (and, well, toyline) to get excited about 8)

Do you think the Imperial in white is Tarkin or just some Grand Admiral?

I'm hoping its a Grand Admiral.  Heck, even having it be Thrawn would be pretty cool (I don't care if he is a blue alien or a white dude in the movie).  The Tarkin story line can't play out all that far since he gets eliminated in E4.  It might be nice having a new baddie with his own new backstory that can factor in to any other anthology movies.

I looked on IMDB and there is no mention of that character, and the guy that played Tarkin in E3 isn't listed in the credits.  Maybe its Disney just being coy, or maybe IMDB just isn't built out much yet.
