As long as Vader comes in and wrecks shit, I'll be happy.
That's me... even if it is the biggest part of the end. They need to have a 20+ minute battle where Vader absolutely annihilates everything. They do that and this thing will make a ton of money.

I doubt that but I can see a really downer dark ending to it for sure, which would be a welcome sign in this emerging Disney regime.

With the exception of the fact that they succeed in stealing the plans, there can be no positive ending to this movie at all. Going to be a bit of a downer watching all the while thinking "every one of you fuckers will be dead by the end of this movie".

this could be a good opportunity for them to really establish the size of the rebellion more than they ever have. Mon Mothma is almost never with the main group throughout the movies but its common knowledge that she's a major player in the leadership. Its possible a few of these new characters live and just jet off to a different home base within the rebellion....but it seems far more likely that its gonna be a slaughter at the end.

Was this movie made to be a one-off, or is it slated to be it's own series of films tied to the main SW universe (honestly haven't been following this one yet)? If it's a few films, they might not kill everyone off in this one.

They are stand alone films (A Star Wars Tale i think?). Year after episode 8 is the young Han Solo film. Not sure if they officially decided on the third? There was talk about Yoda, Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, etc...

Good to know, thanks. Just hope we get decent writers for those tales.

Do we really think, that if RO pulls in 750M-1B+ at the BO that Lucasfilm will throw away the whole cast and never revisit (Assuming any survive)

The beauty of the "Star Wars Story" films is that there's tons of potential for what they could do. They don't need to save this cast of characters for more, because they can do a Yoda movie, Boba Fett movie, the rumored Kenobi trilogy that's probably bullshit but who knows, more Han Solo stuff after his first stand alone, and that's not even touching Old Republic potential, Darth Revan, and on and on.

Yeah thats fine. But why throw away such a proven all star cast from a hit? Hollywood is the land of sequels.

Its possible but I think if anything they would probably take away "hey we are onto something with this standalone idea!" Plus the next three years is already mapped out, EP8, adventures of young Han (way more skeptical about this than R1), EP9....next standalone.

So they might ramp up more movies if this a runaway hit, but they seem to have a game plan in place and I'd imagine they will stick with it unless they start suffering drastic failure. This movie would have to exceed the wildest expectations to get a "sequel'. Story-wise they are limited in how they could keep going with this particular entry anyway.

We get like 3 marvel movies a year, why not Star Wars?

I would rather see a modern timeline tv series where we get both sides: a rebel academy and a first order academy. The main two characters are childhood friends that go to each faction. Too bad budget would be insane.
