Re-telling a famous story in an engaging fashion is no small challenge. Call it the Art of the Re-Hash. 'Force Awakens' was successful because it essentially re-hashed 'New Hope,' giving us a fresh glimpse of old favorites and laying groundwork for some new, unresolved plot threads. Which is going to be more profitable going forward - continued indulgence of fan demand for nostalgia, or something completely new? 'Rogue One' looks like a brilliant way to balance the demand for another re-hash while adding new spin and hopefully some surprises. I suspect that it will succeed where the Abrams Star Trek reboot failed, because it avoids the worst decision, which was to throw canon and continuity out the window.

Let's post the link here for fellow Ark members and friends:
Well written post and I definitely agree that TFA was a very good re-hash. By overall giving us something very familiar it drew us in and then added those new elements to allow for (hopefully) more independence in episode 8. I think some people are way overboard on the whole "7 was just a remake of the original" point, sticking with a winning formula is better than boring politics and awful romances.

The AT-ATs and seeing classic Stormtroopers did score this trailer points for me and I hope it is genuinely good because as the first non-episode SW movie it has to show that Disney wants to expand the story and not just cash in. Maybe Rogue One will finally be the movie where the on-screen Stormtroopers are "precise" and deadly.
