What will you do when they catch you?
What will you do if they break you?
If you continue to fight... What will you become?

Just sayin...

Although crazy old Rebel, since there are no Jedi.

I think it's easy to see which Forest Whitaker sci fi movie is better.

 

[Sawyer]

Dat costume.

 

[Gold Samurai]

I thought it was a bit of overacting. He reminded me of Louis Gossett Jr. in his pronunciations.

 

[Gianakin_]

He was overacting, but that won't necessarily be as out of place in the final product.

Wow interesting development on the character- http://www.superherohype.com/news/3...-is-playing-saw-gerrera-in-rogue-one#/slide/1

Forest Whitaker is playing Saw Gerrera in Rogue One!

"Consider him kind of a battered veteran who leads a band of Rebel extremists,”...“He’s on the fringe of the Rebel Alliance. Even [they] are a little concerned about him.”

A few Clone Wars scenes of Saw & his [sister] Steela Gerrera, likely why he's so hardened.

I watched all of Clone Wars and I don't even remember this character But glad to see the films are leveraging some material from the animated series.

it's weird that Forrest is doing an accent of some kind, I don't know what, while Saw from the Clone Wars clearly has an American accent.

 

[Octoberist]

I'm curious if they actually went back to reshoot scenes with him, now with hair and greying.. It's kinda dark but his goatee in the teaser was black.

I'd be interesting if it turns out that Forrest's character was altered to fit Saw, and did some ADR work.

Lol my reaction as well, I was expecting a name like mace windu or atleast someone the masses know. Not some random from a cartoon

 

[Octoberist]

No one wants Mace.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Mace should be playing the lead role in Ghost in the Shell

 

[GuestStar2004]

they won't cast someone else to play mace when they could just bring back SLJ and age him up if required.

 

[Lencho01]

I'm actually surprised an animated character has ended up in one of these films at this point.

 

[Quasimod0]

He didn't have any hair in the trailer, but in this pic he does. Flashback maybe?

When is Forest Whitaker NOT overacting? Did you ever watch him on The Shield? Good God.

Yeah, he's not a great actor, and his line delivery can be very awkward. Did you see Roots?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Forrest Whitaker is NOT a good actor?

A man with a raspy voice. His body locked in life-giving armor. His face, as well as his soul, scarred by the violent actions of his past.

“There are some similarities,” Whitaker says in an interview with EW. “I don’t know if I should tell you that.”

I really like all the parallels of Gerrera to Vader, interesting, as both extremes but on opposite sides.
And while the line was interesting...

" both are hardliners who aren’t timid about using brutal tactics in the fight to control the galaxy."

This was even more surprising!

This is his armored suit for flight, but also for maintenance,”

Saw Gerrera can fly!t:

Saw Gerrera can fly!t:

Naw.....he just falls with style.

Naw.....he just falls with style.

If that's the case, lets hope his dance number with Jyn is equally as stylish.
