Rogue One: A Star Wars Story [Official Thread]

Post ROTS Obi-wan doesn't interest me. I'd kill all the padawans for a pre Episode 1 Qui-Gon/Obi-wan movie. Id even settle for a book on that.

Episode I Obi-Wan had no chill

When Qui-Gon is trying to barter with Watto this ninja really offered to sell the Queens wardrobe

QuiGon nearly sacrificed it all to free Anakin and Obi-Wan's like "why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic lifeform "

Watching QuiGon get got really humbled him.

The opening lines of TPM are underrated.

Obi-Wan senses something way off about their mission (Sidious) but Qui-Gon's like "fukk that focus on the now". Obi-Wan right there represents how Sidious tricked the Jedi by having them chasing shadows and Qui-Gon represents a different path. Yoda is the middleground which is why he can hear Qui-Gon and actually master "immortality".

"Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future"
"But not at the expense of the moment"

Qui Gon is the best on screen Jedi we have. Had all the virtue of the Jedi but was able to see the forrest past the trees interms of the limiting and dogmatic jedi code.

If he lived, Anakin never turns .

I loved it. My main complaint tho is the lack of scenes with jedi-like abilities. The blind man and was the only one who showed any acumen in the ways of the force until the very end..

Im surprised disney made a movie where everyone dies

Wasn't this actor one of the rebels who volunteered to go down?

If he lives, Anakin wouldn't even be a Jedi. Or what if he trained Anakin? The possibilities

One of the points of the movie was to show the sacrifice of normal / non force sensitive people in the galaxy. To show what monumental win against all odds this was for the rebellion. It makes what they accomplished much more amazing and by proxy destroying the Death Star in EP IV more so as well

Sure he'd be a Jedi. Qui Gon started training him even against the wishes of the council

I know but its star wars. Was there a single light saber battle in the whole movie?!

He would be.

The Jedi never really rule it out absolutely (that's a Sith thing). Mace literally says "now is not the time for this", and he's right. They needed to know whether the Sith really returned or not.

Qui-Gon wasn't perfect. REALLY look at what he told the Jedi:

"The Sith are back....oh btw here's this kid with crazy potential and I'm willing to throw my own padawan in the bushes to train him even though we all sense he has a dark future".

It was too much. This is why Yoda/Obi-Wan end up perfecting it. Qui-Gon was onthe right path but he wasn't all the way there.

You could argue that him making Obi-Wan promise him to train Anakin, on his deathbed, wasn't the wisest thing to do.

Qui-Gon is ILL tho Liam Neeson and that character saves Phantom Menace like Ewan saves Clones.

I'm glad we didn't get jedi heavy...save that for the main series.

These side movies are going to be great to explore the unsung heroes of galaxy. Not everyone gonna be a Luke, Leia, Han, etc.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

Vader doesnt count. I need saber on saber action.. No homo.

A star wars movie without a single jedi

Jedis aren't necessary in every movie. This proved you don't need them plus at this time they were all but extinct.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

I'm still amazed that a movie that exists basically to explain a 30 something year old plot hole was this fukking good

The simplicity is its brilliance

And if you didn't need any more reason to think rotten tomatoes is junk full of fan boys caught up in hype who pretend to be imparial critics than look no more than force awakens score Compared to this.
