For some reason I expected more of a deviation from traditional Star Wars with these side movies, but this was a pleasant surprise. The look is great. It just feels like a Star Wars film and I think that is incredibly important. Take my money Disney.
When that AT-AT looks at that guy running around the 1:24 mark and fires, you know he's not going to have a good day.
It's not that I wasn't excited before, but this just upped my excitement level a lot. Looks fantastic.
Aaaaaaaaaand it looks beautiful. It's easy to have high hopes in a film you know will have such strong production value, but jeez does it look remarkable. Like a classic spy film or war film, jus happenstancely set in the Star Wars universe. Seeing as it's set right before Episode IV, I love how accurately they're mayching the art design and tone of that film.
I was originally wondering how Disney would pull off that 'one new Star Wars movie per year, forever!!!' thing, but now I get it...and this looks pretty sweet.
