Looks like a fun ride. I didn't even know they were making a stand alone film about the SW universe. Big fan of Forrest Whitaker.

This is set between III and IV right? Explaining how the rebels got the Deathstar plans that R2 carries?

Well I am glad I read this thread. I was like another death star really. Thought this was episode VII.

So is that a younger Tarkin or different character all together?
No, he's a grand admiral, and Tarkin was a governor. Rumor is they are going to have Tarkin in the movie. Supposedly it's going to be a combination of cgi and an actor who looks similar to him.

I call BS on inserting the ninja dude into the series. Sword vs blaster vs light saber just doesn't add up.

Thought the same thing. Might not have been as much of an issue if they had not chosen an actor with Asian features for that role.

He didn't have a sword. It was a staff similar to what Rey used in the Force Awakens

That particular "actor with Asian features" is Donnie Yen, who is an amazing martial artist. This movie is supposed to be all about characters who aren't Jedi or Force-sensitive, hence the lack of lightsabers. I think it's essentially Ocean's 11 in space, where the assembled team of miscreants has to complete an elaborate heist. This particular trailer seemed a little more action-oriented than that, but that's the logline I've read previously.

Based on this video, I'd say he's more likely to just punch him roughly 100 times in a couple seconds and knock him the f out.

Wow

Looks legit.

So they intend to put out a bunch a random story arches in years alternate the main story line?

I may be wrong on the Boba Fett movie. That's the rumor at least.

They definitely announced it. I think they have since parted ways with the director they chose (the guy that did the most recent F4 movie). I haven't heard anything about it since.
