Rogue One: A Star Wars Story [Official Thread]

Opposed by a multi-cultural group led by brave white women.

They were one garrison stationed on one moon of one planet in the Outer Rim. There is no way AT-ST's, stormtroopers & scout troopers represented anywhere near the entirety of the Empire's forces throughout the galaxy.

It was the Death Star 2's construction site, and the Emperor already knew the rebels were coming, including Luke himself. It was a trap...

the best part of this movie was darth vader going HAM at the end

Seeing that scene again it just occurred to me...

Vader can steal Han's blaster from across the room right out of his hand but he couldn't acquire the data disc from the rebels while they were playing keep away?

Did he know they had it?

I think vader knew they had something, but not exactly what it was.

I don't think the CGI option was a good replacement though. Even though it was good CGI, it was still noticeable CGI and the whole thing about special effects is that you aren't supposed to notice.

that dude was barely in the movie, so I didn't care about them CGI'ing him in for continuity purposes of the story

same with princess leia.

I expect to see a lot more of this going foward as they perfect the technology.

leia talkin that shyt to vader in ANH makes her an even bigger boss now

 

[Deltron]

IP Man was bad ass as fukk too



I'd say I like it better than TFA

fukking loved

Spoiler

the ending and how it transitions into ANH, wasn't really surprised by the ending in general though, makes sense...would be more of a surprise if they went the other route and had them survive.

Gonna def watch it again

 

[Stelio Kontos]

CGI Carrie Fisher could get it

Looks like the totally changed the ending. Apparently, NONE of the trailer scenes from the last act actually made it into the theatrical version

Rogue One Missing Trailer Footage Tell Us This About The Reshoots

Scenes show the entire team surviving long enough to be together on the beach with the Death Star tapes.

More like they changed half the movie. In the first half there's a lot of emphasis on the necklace that Jyn receives from her mother, implying there might be more to it. She has a flashback serving to remind us it was given to her by her mother, and it's also the first thing Chirrut notices about her. Yet somewhere along the way, the necklace isn't mentioned or really seen anymore, being reduced to nothing more than an arbitrary good luck charm.

Similarly, when Cassian and Jyn first enter Jedha City, Cassian mentions they have a female contact who lost her husband in the rebellion fighting the Empire who could help Jyn meet with Saw, yet not even two minutes later is this plot point completely abandoned as all their subsequent dialogue starts to imply they had no idea how to get in touch with Saw's rebels until they stumbled upon them in the fire fight (I suspect this fight was added at a later point to have an action set piece earlier on in the movie).

I don't know how accurate it is but it would explain why the early story acts have such a poor flow to them.

 

[Deltron]

Only criticism I would give the film is the first half can drag a bit but it picks up fairly quickly. I liked how the first 10 - 20 minutes was fast paced, we saw a lotta shyt in a short amount of time and ol' boy gave no fukks and killed anybody

 

[Urbanmiracle]

The action in jedha city was one of the first images we saw from leaks so I don't think it was added on. I do think the reshoots were to make sure that this flowed seemlessly into ANH without adding any more plot holes.

As for the movie itself:

Vader and Tarkin were great. The nods to the old movies, the tie ins to various parts of the new continuity. Jyn was cool. Blind guy was cool. I really enjoyed this film. Top 5 Star Wars film.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Spoiler: Vader!

The Force Awakens >>

Didn't Feel Like A SW Film. It Ain't Seeing 4-7. It's Better Than TPM. I Put It Between AOTC And ROTS.

3.5/5

Didn't seem like a Star Wars film: why is Luke Skywalker not in this????!

 

[42 Monks]

I really don't like the "it didn't feel like a star wars film" complaints.

Its a film in the Star Wars universe.

May as well complain about any period piece set in France during WW1 that didn't center itself around trench warfare
