What the hell is panto?

Also, Vader is a classic villian, and it makes sense that he's in it, but I'm also glad that he only has a minor appearance, leaving the main cast to take the spotlight, and also help expand the universe beyond only being about what the Skywalkers are doing.

panto = pantomime

The classic British musical comedy stage show, usually on around Christmas time. It's where ageing TV soap stars go to die.

The pantomime villain is normally way over the top, and the audience boo and hiss every time he/she shows up on stage. Think Captain Hook from Muppet's Treasure Island or someone like that.

Loved the latest trailer. The movie looks great.

It just occurred to me that the main baddie in white in Rogue One is the actor who delivered that "And can we get some girls in here?" line in The Dark Knight Rises

He's also tremendous in Bloodline.

Don't remember that, but every facial expression that dude has made in any of these trailers just speaks god damn volumes. Not even sure he's had dialogue yet, has he?

To be fair, I think the point of his character in this film was to be this loser business man trying to overtake Wayne Enterprises. I laugh when he delivers the line because he says it in the least manliest way

Felicity Jones is so pretty. She's the main reason why I'm looking forward to this.

Carrie Fischer. Natalie Portman. Daisy Ridley. Felicity Jones.

Yep, Lucasfilm knows what they are doing

They've had a good run of cute brunettes.

So Donald Glover is officially the new Lando.

Good choice if you ask me.

Totally agree. He's gonna make that character even more iconic than it is.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #4115 on:** October 21, 2016, 11:35:24 PM »

Never heard of him. So.... ok I guess, thanks for the news.

Getting pumped for Rogue One, have avoided trailers after the first one and any further info, so probably this thread too, so I can go in fresh.

Logain Ablar · « **Reply #4116 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:05:16 AM »

Never heard of the guy either. Has he been in anything well known?

I envy anyone who manages to stay spoiler-free for any of these movies. I can't resist hitting https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/ every so often to see what's going on. Probably just ruining it for myself.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #4117 on:** October 22, 2016, 07:37:46 AM »

He's probably best known/loved for being one of the main characters on Community (and he's fantastic in it). He had a decent supporting role in The Martian, and he just recently debuted his own show on FX called Atlanta (also great). Really excited about this bit of casting news.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #4118 on:** October 22, 2016, 07:41:18 AM »

I don't know him either, the first I heard of him was a few months ago when this came up as a casting rumour.

the uproar if a white girl blacked up to play a black man

That's cool, off topic but he's also a musician under the name Childish Gambino.

Yup! This guy is super talented.

He's gonna be great as Lando. He has the smartass side covered, and has the charm and swag down to a tee

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #4122 on:** October 24, 2016, 08:05:24 AM »

Yeah, Glover is very talented. Frankly, he was easily the standout choice for this role.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #4123 on:** October 24, 2016, 08:27:39 AM »

I just quickly checked out some videos of him on Youtube, and he certainly seems like a good choice. I like this casting decision more than their choice of Han.
Of course, I don't have much to base either of those opinions on yet, so hopefully the movie convinces me.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #4124 on:** October 24, 2016, 08:38:48 AM »

Blob, you should really check out Community. Very funny show and very geeky at times as well.

There's a few extra shots that we didn't get on the last one, with an extra couple of seconds of you-know-who..

I gotta stop clicking on this thread! Official blackout prior to viewing Rogue One starts now!

I wonder if Ford is pissed about this forbidden love affair thing that Fischer is airing out to the public. He's probably too cool to care.
