A teaser trailer for Rogue One drops, and everybody loss their minds… Jyn, Mon, feminism and really sweet capes beneath the cut.
People it's just a trailer let's not indulge in our usual reflexive extreme reactions let's try to keep our heads IZZAT MON GODDAMN MOTHMA

So women did all the hard work of finding the Death Star plans, then men came in at the end and took all the credit? pic.twitter.com/IYxXXSMVux

Imma let you finish but first let's give credit to Grieg Fraser, DP of #RogueOne for how beautiful and warm the movie looks
— Chris Weitz (@chrisweitz) April 7, 2016
Can I just say. Gareth frickin' Edwards, man.

Is it possible that the true protagonist of the Star Wars franchise is the Death Star?
— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) April 7, 2016
Love the idea of #RogueOne perfectly capturing a '70s-80s sci-fi aesthetic. Like that DS9 episode where they time-travel back to TOS Trek.

Calling it now: whatever this thing is from the Rogue One trailer, I'm pretty sure it's Starkiller Base's Dad. pic.twitter.com/SErfbcCvVu
— Alex Zalben (@azalben) April 7, 2016
I'm excited about a STAR WARS film that isn't built around the question "is my dad mad at me?"

So I just watched the Rogue One trailer and tell me this scene doesn't look like Canary Wharf tube pic.twitter.com/geZABGAzgH

This is the most pedantic thing I've ever tweeted: Bothans died getting info on the 2nd Death Star, please save those jokes for #RogueTwo.
— Joseph Scrimshaw (@JosephScrimshaw) April 7, 2016
So it looks like this movie isn't Rogue Squadron, it's Wraith Squadron, and I am A-OK with that.

— Darrell Borquez (@Darrellict) April 7, 2016
It still blows my mind that we have ANOTHER female lead in Star Wars. I don't have words to describe how wonderful that is.
— Savanna Kiefer (@Savanna_Kiefer) April 7, 2016
For dudes concerned abt keeping Rey & Jyn straight in your minds, use whatever flashcards/mnemonic devices that helped you figure Luke & Han
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) April 7, 2016
Them marching Jyn Ersa in binders on Yavin tells me, I think, that this is essentially "The Dirty Dozen."
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) April 7, 2016
Okay but like — why can't I go buy a Jyn Erso figure right now? Like, right now right now? What gives?!?!
— Brett White (@brettwhite) April 7, 2016
— ¯\_(heath)_/¯ (@heathdwilliams) April 7, 2016
Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso is an awesome next step for female #StarWars characters, especially after Rey. (And Mon Mothma, too!) #RogueOne
— Brian Truitt (@briantruitt) April 7, 2016
No, but seriously, how badass does Felicity look in this shot? #RogueOne pic.twitter.com/elFwanvHEN

Ahsoka. Hera. Sabine. Rey. Phasma. Maz. Jyn. Progress is neat. #StarWars
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) April 7, 2016
Everybody else running serpentine but Jyn Erso's cutting a straight motherfuckin line to that AT-AT. Bad. Ass. #RogueOneTrailer

Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly)

Nothing in the past few years of this Star Wars revival has made me as giddy as seeing Mon Mothma on screen again.
— Brandon Bird (@Brandon_Bird) April 7, 2016
I love that Mon Mothma is one of the things people are so jazzed about. #MonMothmaForever
— Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) April 7, 2016
WAKE UP SHEEPLE Mon Mothma has been orchestrating this whole thing from the start #MothmaTruth #BothansDied #Many
— Mo Ryan (@moryan) April 7, 2016
I love how perfect Mon Mothma looks.
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) April 7, 2016
And she was cast to be Mon Mothma 13 years ago. I love when stuff like that works out.
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) April 7, 2016
From my old files: Genevieve O'Reilly's hair color test in 2003 when she was cast as Mon Mothma. pic.twitter.com/Pe8Z0qHKzt

Every time Forrest Whittaker says "What, Will. You. Do." in the Rogue One trailer I feel compelled to yell "IF I SING OUT OF TUNE"
— Rob Bricken (@RobBricken) April 7, 2016
This looked like a classic Samurai movie scene. #RogueOne pic.twitter.com/nsL7Mx5br4
— Andy Peachey (@Andy_peachey) April 7, 2016
I still hold out hope that Mads Mikkelsen is playing Lor San Tekka. Because that guy's got a history in the SW universe we haven't seen.
— Chuck Wendig (@ChuckWendig) April 7, 2016
This is how stacked the cast for #RogueOne is: The teaser cutters (somehow) couldn't fit in a shot of either Riz Ahmed OR Mads Mikkelsen (!)
— Bobby (@bobbyrobertspdx) April 7, 2016
"When" they catch you, not if. I think my favorite thing about the #RogueOne trailer is the sense of siege. The Rebellion isn't winning.
— Megan (@blogfullofwords) April 7, 2016
The Empire
A beautiful shot. Looks so much like the old-school practical effects that @ILMVFX crew created for Ep.IV. #RogueOne pic.twitter.com/VQGrPY2xvk

"AT-ATs: Island Hunters" might be my new fave HGTV show. #RogueOne pic.twitter.com/ykYRJM3n5M
— Ryan McGee (@TVMcGee) April 7, 2016
I got a huge Twilight Company vibe when they were running at those AT-ATs. #RogueOne
— Brian (@brian_nov) April 7, 2016
Remember how they had to adapt the T-47s for Hoth's climate? Maybe it was the same with the AT-ATs. Maybe #RogueOne is their default look.

Looks like a precursor ship to #KyloRen's shuttle. Connections like this are neat to find. #StarWars #RogueOne pic.twitter.com/bBO2wU3uEW

#RogueOne cape game is STRONG. Somewhere, Lando is nodding in appreciation.

If Vader does play a role in #RogueOne, he didn't appear in the teaser trailer or he would've sucked the air out of it. Jyn is the focus.

Holy crap that tank and tank driver look insanely cool pic.twitter.com/eXk65AoQQZ

This much is pretty evident. In that shot of the DS in Episode III, no one standing there is thinking "this'll take 19 years to be ready."
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) April 7, 2016
In other words, the Death Star is pretty much: https://t.co/pKpHKhRigh

Those pesky feminists
There are, by my reckoning, 10 lines of dialogue in the #RogueOne trailer. Women say 5 of them. When your TRAILER passes the Bechdel Test…
— Joanna Robinson (@jowrotethis) April 7, 2016
We live in a time where generations of young women will finally have strong & intelligent characters to look up to. Damn exciting #RogueOne
— Amirose Eisenbach (@Amirosie) April 7, 2016
the best part of the new Rogue One trailer is how it's ruined the day of quite a few sexist assholes on the internet pic.twitter.com/yQdgYCgafr
— Scafe of the Union (@erinscafe) April 7, 2016
These are just a few of the comments I saw on the #RogueOne trailer complaining about a female lead. This is sad. pic.twitter.com/b2ZPLP8qLO
— a (@wrksout) April 7, 2016
What Star Wars is doing that Hollywood will never understand is prove heroic female leads and anti-heroic female leads can be successful.
— Andy Khouri (@andykhouri) April 7, 2016
If you're preemptively declaring that the heroine of Rogue One is a Mary Sue, you're saying you think women leads are inherently bad writing
— Amy Ziegfeld (@AmyZiegfeld) April 7, 2016
(Three action movies are released with female leads out of thousands)
SOME DUDES: I am sick of every movie being about WOMEN.

Snark
So annoyed that men have been officially, legally banned from ever being in *any* movies ever again, WHO WILL TELL OUR STORIES NOW
— James Moran (@jamesmoran) April 7, 2016
I hope we learn that #RogueOne is about one woman's response to reading "Actually…" one too many times on Twitter.
— Anne T. Donahue (@annetdonahue) April 7, 2016
Yeah, there’s the misogynists, but my favorites today are the people upset that there’s a Death Star in the movie about the Death Star.
