One of the things that really stands out to me in the trailer is how amazing this shot of the Star Destroyer looks.
Yes! and my favorite thing about that shot is how what first looks like a Wipe from a star field to the death star, turns out to be just a shadow as you see it move behind the Star Destroyer.
Of course it could just be the way the trailer is cut that made me think it was a wipe, but i assume this ‘trick’ was on purpose, and i love it.
Looking at that… the way the light hits it… do you think it’s actually a model? It feels like a model.
I’m glad to see that Mon Mothma wasn’t a CG recreation of Caroline Blakiston and was instead played by a new actor. Hopefully we’ll get something similar with Tarkin.
(I was also surprised by the inclusion of a Grand Admiral. Wasn’t that whole white uniform thing invented by Timothy Zahn in the Thrawn trilogy?)Nope!
So is this guy a Grand Admiral? Or did Zahn retcon that later?
Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that a lo of officer on the DS wore white uniforms.
If you watched The Clone Wars, that man was retconned to be Admiral Wullf Yularen, who as of ANH, is a Colonel in the ISB. So not a Grand Admiral. To be honest, his uniform is more of an off-white than the pure white I imagine a Grand Admiral’s tunic to be. The ISB uniform also lacks the fold-over of Imperial Navy uniforms, having instead a center seam with (I assume) a zipper or hidden buttons.
