I was thinking it could be Poe Dameron's mom, but her name in the Shattered Empire comics (which take place ~ROTJ, and is Disney canon) is Shara Bey. Maybe Shara Bey will also make an appearance.Betting that's Rey's mom. Looks like a winner. Such a good idea for a prequel telling that story. Many Bothans died bringing that preview to us.

And here is a pixel-by-pixel analysis calculating the speed that the dish was moving as the Death Star was being constructed. In case you were wondering.
Looks very good.
Part of me wonders if the Grand Admiral in the clip could be Thrawn or similar character? Would not take much editing to change his skin color blue (or vise versa) for the movie. If the last scene in the trailer showing Jyn Erso in an imperial uniform is actually be at the start of the movie, i.e. an imperial who joins the Rebellion, she could be a Mara Jade character. With Rouge One taking place right before a New Hope, her age would be close to Luke Skywalker's for a potential romantic interest. A lot of Star Wars fans would be happy with such. Losing both characters, Thrawn and Mara Jade, have been the two biggest grips about the 'new' Star Wars universe since Disney took over.
Unless a third death star was built, the one in the trailer was the one Luke destroyed (as the one in Jedi did not appear ton be close to being completed). I'm guessing that Rogue One take place immediately before A New Hope (I still don't feel right calling it that) and like his father, Luke ends up marrying an older woman.
Didn't know that but it does make sense. Also, the stealing of the plans to the Death Star in and of itself could be a great story line. I'm going all in on Luke being Rey's father.The time frame for Rouge One has been confirmed - right before Star Wars IV (A New Hope) and part of the plot invovles how the Rebellion stole the plans for the first Death Star.

For people disappointed that Vader wasn't in the trailer. People are speculating that Vader is the hooded figure at 1:18 about to kneel before the emperor.

If no one is watching, the most recent episode of Rebels might be the best Star Wars thing I have ever seen. That show is great, though I am trying to figure out how Kanan and Ezra fit into this all. They SHOULD be around for the Rogue One era.
According to Ridley, rumors of Jyn and Rey’s familial connection have been greatly exaggerated. “I’m not being funny you guys, but just because she’s white and got brown hair… it doesn’t mean she’s my mom,” Ridley told MTV’s Josh Horowitz backstage at the MTV Movie Awards.
And besides, Ridley already knows who Rey’s parents are — and she doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal. “I think the amazing thing about [Episode VII] is that Finn and Rey don’t come from anywhere, and they find a place,” Ridley, who’s currently filming Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII, said. “So to me, it’s funny that people think it’s so important because I don’t really think it is.”
Thanks. Daisy says that Rey doesn't come from anywhere, yet the entire movie from her dream sequence to the connection between her an a certain lightsaber that has belonged to a certain family along with Kennedy's statement that the 'main' Star Wars movies at least for the foreseeable future will follow the same family screams that she definitely comes from someone alright. This reminds me of several statements from the same director before that other SciFi moive that Cumberbatch was not playing Kahn.
I rewatched it two weeks ago or so on a plane. Just really good.Rewatched TFA last night for the first time and I am happy with it again. Was really happy afterwards, and started to doubt whether I should a been after reading stuff complaining it was formulaic and predictable. Both were fair criticisms, but it worked for me again. Really enjoyed it, including the acting and the light natured touches.
This one could be a treat too. We'll see.
I've not watched the show in its entirety, but Vader's first appearance was pretty awesome, and the finale with Maul/Vader/Inquisitors/Asokha/Kanan/Ezra all doing pretty cool things was almost enough to get me to invest more time in it.If no one is watching, the most recent episode of Rebels might be the best Star Wars thing I have ever seen.
