Not sure what to think yet. Trailer looks good and I love the remixes of the original star wars tunes. Especially since the music in episode 7 was entirely forgettable, hopefully they'll get that guy for the music in 8.
Also the original trailer's start and end are mirrored, which is pretty cute.

We kinda know the story already though and putting the release between episode 7 and 8 is so weird though.

I will keep an eye on this movie and see if anything good comes of it. I don't see it yet though; frankly the trailers make it look awfully generic.

If I don't see a ton of bothans getting massacred then I have lost all hope for the SW franchise.

Well, that actually looks somewhat more promising than what I saw before. It does seem distinctly un-Star Wars in style though, which may or may not be a good thing. Certainly looks different though.

Second trailer feels like Star Wars: Independence Day

I love it all. There's so much more worldbuilding in this than in Force Awakens, and I love all the callbacks to the Clone Wars cartoon and even the Rebels cartoon (there's a Hammerhead corvette from Rebels in the trailer, and the brief lore behind that design is a callback to KotOR). And of course Darth Vader is going to kick ass.

Yeah I think this movie is going to be better than TFA imo. At least I will enjoy it more. Looks like we'll be getting some legit war looking scenes, space battles, you name it! Also hoping to see Vader kickass.

This movie looks so much better than any stupid save the galaxy Jedi destiny epic pew pew battle movie.
I believe Star Wars is at its best when there is no (or minimal) Jedi involvement.

I guess that Vader is probably the most recognizable character in existence that had a total of 12 minutes of screen time over the course of 6 movies...

I'm really hyped for this. Second trailer (and premise) are somewhat cheesy, but I'm looking forward to this for quite a few reasons:

1. Asians (not as Nemoidians) - hopefully Ip Man gets a lot of screentime... and gets killed by Vader. I hope this isn't just Disney being like "well, gotta appeal to the Asian market". Star Wars is ready for some more diversity

2. Magical space monks are not the main focus - more relatable to relate to a "ragtag bunch of heroes", even if it's cliche. Let's hope they all die brutal deaths, a la dwindling party. We haven't seen any of their characters in 4-7, but that doesn't mean everybody dies. One can hope though.

3. Something about trailer 2 music really gets me. The music at 1:37 gets so good. Love this take on the Force theme, even if it's just trailer music.

4. Worldbuilding. TFA disappointed me for numerous reasons, with one among them being the lack of worldbuilding. I loved the old (now Legends) canon, and I understand why it had to go. The fact that we have Jeddah instead of Tython doesn't bother me, and it's a sign that we're getting glimpses into this vast vast universe that extends beyond just "hey the Skywalkers are fucking shit up".

5. Awesome tie-in to TCW series. I hope Saw dies a particularly glorious death... and judging from when he says "Save the Rebellion!" with what looks like a cave-in/collapse happening, he will get one.

6. Krennic has a lot of potential. I hope he doesn't turn into a Tarkin clone. One of the bandied theories going around is that Krennic is somehow going to help the Rogue One peeps get the plans... I'm hoping it's that and not "you have failed me for incompetence". Whatever the reason, Vader looks absolutely pissed at him.
