Rogue One: A Star Wars Story [Official Thread]

Nah my nikka, HOURS before 4

I remember when the prequels were made Lucas said they would change the way we see the OT but that never rang true to me.

THIS movie changes the way I see the OT.

Nah my nikka, HOURS before 4

Like Vader tracked that ship on hyperdrive and the next scene was the opening scene of ANH

 

[NobodyReally]

you know what fukk it i guess it really doesn't matter. to me ANH will always be the first star wars movie you should ever see but if some kid stumbled upon rogue one first i guess it doesn't matter. chances are their pops or their friends are gonna explain everything to them anyway.

also i guess the reveals in this would be equally as effective to a kid seeing them for the first time. the original vader intro is classic but shyt his reveal in rogue one was pretty epic too. muthaufkka got a CASTLE now. true boss villain status.

if this movie is a kid's first taste of darth vader i would imagine he left a pretty strong impression.

Yep, I agree with all of this, especially the last. If Rogue One is a kid's introduction to Vader, this legitimately shows you why he's a fukking boss and backs up all of the tension he brings into the room in ANH.

On Jetta, Jyn bumps into a man, this is the same man who tried to start a fight with Luke in the cantina in Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope.

But they blew up the city. So him turning up in ANH would be confusing as hell for someone new to the series

i am so split on the Ewoks

as a kid seeing it I had no issue

as I grew older I felt like they were tacked on and unnecessary - but not quite Jar Jar Binks terrible

now as an adult who has a son I am okay with them. They serve their purpose for sure because if not for them the Rebels would have been done on the Endor

so i'm on them right now

I too was completely fine with the Ewoks as a kid but when I grew up and found out that George Lucas had full rights to merchandising, it made me look at the Ewoks for what they were: a cash grab.

If I had the kind of deal he had, I probably would've done the same, but for me it still takes away from the movie.

Unless he left for Tatooine before they did...

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

I might have to slot this one over episode IV and below TESB and ROTS. shyt exceeded my expectations big time :blessedrusev:

I'm not sure if this movie would work fully without ANH, but it's definitely not a big gap for me.

I'll have to give it some time though.

 

[Hi!]

This movie was fukking incredible.

Some people didn't like the first two acts but I loved it all. It entertained me from start to finish.

I thought this took place a few years before A New Hope but nah, this is a direct lead-up to that movie.

The battle scenes were dope AF and Jyn was a much more likeable character than Rey IMO.

The detail they put into the towns and background characters


This movie was way better than Force Awakens.

Definitely in my top 3 Star Wars movies.

This was so dope I was damn near in tears at the end.

Spoiler

My nikka Saw

I thought he would be apart of the Rogue One squad but he died before shyt even went down

Bail the GOAT

When Vader showed up like the Undertaker and started chopping mofos down

The Obi-Wan reference

The Leia and Tarkin CGI wasn't bad

The force is with me and I am one with the force

It was fine at worse. I can see how people wouldn't like it. But it's not that serious.

 

[Ezra]
