Huh. Rogue One, to me, felt like some of the best EU from the 90’s (like the early X-wing novels and comics or the dark forces video game series) brought to live action.

This trailer feels like some of the more bizarre or “out there” 90’s EU like, say, Dark Empire. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not yet…

I do love the image of the ice crystal palace thing with TIE fighters flying towards it. It feels like something from the Leigh Brackett draft of ESB (which I envisioned having a glitzy 70’s scifi visual style. Kinda like if Star Wars went all “Xanadu” in the sequel). The cavalry charge across the surface of a Star Destroyer seems… …odd…
