Hi!
THERE’S A TRAILER OUT FOR THE UPCOMING STAR WARS MOVIE!!!
It came out yesterday.
Some things:
1. Nice interplay of Rey’s Theme with the classic Force Theme / “Binary Sunset”. Nice symbolism with her really being trained in the ways of the jedi and whatnot.
2. Music did a nice job of adding weight. The deliberate pacing gives a sense of heaviness.
I am happy to report that a variety of the questions I asked in the previous post were answered. There are now new followup questions (like, how did they do THAT?!) but that’s part of the fun. I hope I’ll get to watch some of the behind-the-scenes when it comes out on DVD.
Oh, and yes, I do recommend watching it. I enjoyed it. (I do recommend keeping the timeline in mind, though… No, I’m not saying any more than that.) So, yep!

Hi!
So, in case you didn’t remember, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” technically is released tomorrow. In reality, that means it comes out tonight. And I have a great friend who’s organized an opening night adventure to go see it, and so I get to go see it soon! Whee!
(In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a bit excited about this.)
So, yeah. As you know, I’ve seen the trailers. I’ve done my best to not do anything spoiler-y, though. I have no clue what to expect. (I don’t even know who’s composing the soundtrack! Is it John Williams again? (I kinda hope so!) Will there be opening scroll-text? (I’m ambivalent about this, since it’s not one of the “official” Star Wars-es.) Will there be any Major Character overlap? (Besides Darth Vader, obviously, since we’ve seen him in the trailers…)
I don’t yet know. But I’ll be finding out soon! YAY!

I admit to being quite surprised that I am posting this before the Webmaster. However, I will not complain.
Recently, I found a video of an utterly charming home-made child’s Star Wars costume. The parents made a costume so their young child could be a tauntaun rider from Star Wars.
I am highly impressed by how the costume turned out; that takes a great deal of skill.

As you are probably aware at this point, a new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer was released. It is, naturally, a fairly decent piece of cinematography (from what I can tell.)
However, it does have what may be extensive spoilers.
One thing I found interesting was how much the trailer music sounded like something I would expect from Two Steps from Hell, rather than typical Star Wars trailer music.
I am also surprised about how much family background we are given about the main character.

I am surprised I am beating the Webmaster to this post; it is about a new Star Wars Universe Trailer. This one is the International Trailer.
My apologies for posting one with non-English subtitles.
What I find fascinating are the differences between the American Trailer and the International one. (No, the subtitles do not qualify.)
The one I immediately noticed was the different scoring used.
The American version, you may recall, uses variations on the Imperial March. Except (surprisingly) at the very end when in addition to the imperial march, there is a small hint of the Rebel’s Theme with The Reveal. (I am trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible.)
This one, however, utilizes the Rebellion Theme from the very beginning, and then primarily chords and emptiness. It does not paint the same picture of darkness, but instad gives a bit more of a sense of… hope?
The time the Imperial March really comes through, however, is at the end. At it is definitely interesting to me that at the end of the International Trailer, there is not the hint of the Rebel’s Theme.
It is also quite interesting that in both the scores, the main theme being used is played on piano. It is a slightly more subtle time; neither are as fully developed as in the events of the original movies.
It am quite looking forward to haring how the full scoring for the movie goes.

Ok, I now (once again) completely understand why there are trailers for trailers, and right now am no longer even annoyed.
The new “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” trailer is out as of about 13 hours ago, and THE TRAILER is an amazing piece of art that is worth being advertised.
I mean, seriously.
The use of the Imperial March motif throughout the entire trailer sets the mood So. Perfectly. Yes, it is during the height of the empire’s power. It’s a slightly darker time.
And the scene with the AT-ATs? And imperial TANKS? Those were just stunning. And potentially slightly terrifying.
Given that the trailer was able to communicate so much, I’m now suddenly reasonably ok with it being advertised… even if it’s supposed to be an advertisement itself. It is worth it.
