Actually, it was pretty forgettable. A bunch of regurgitated ideas and outside of Forest Whitaker, a bunch of characters I didn't give a about.
Rogue One is easily the best post-original trilogy movie.

All right, you baby.

^Well at this point I should know to avoid movie threads like they're the plague until after I watch it. I only have myself to blame.
Going tonight at 10:30pm, IMAX 3D
Will be back here after to spam the thread with spoilers
Star Wars has a fairly high rate when you consider eps 1-3 were and ep 7 was essentially a scene by scene remake.
But 90% other movies are beyond so it'll still be a huge hit
I hope we're done with all of the silly "OMG she's his sister, he's her son, Anakin built C3PO, etc." reveals.
It's well past ridiculous that everyone of any significance in this story seems to be related.
3rd worse for me. Only infront of Clones and Menace.
Good movie, that was not. Steaming pile of , it was.
There are scenes where Finn is in First Order attire... and then in the next scene he is wearing his leather jacket... how?
Other than Disney putting annoying little bird aliens in the movie to sell toys, and one incredibly stupid moment with Leia, this movie was terrific. Way better than Force Awakens.
SPOILER ALERT
Why go through all the hassle, grief and loss of life in trying to make a run on both Death Stars and Star Killer base if all you had to do was ram them with a star cruiser at hyperspeed to destroy them?
Yeah, these morons would rather shoot at something instead of just going kamikaze at it every time! How stupid!
Astromech droids can do that... autopilot even... no loss of life required...
I liked how they handled this.
Wow that would have been awesome. Should redo the whole series, rename it “Computer Suicide Bombings for 2 Hours” and watch the box office numbers skyrocket!
Thinking on it more, Finn has no purpose in this movie. His entire subplot could have been removed and the movie would be immensely better.
Same for Poe. He ran around screwing everything up which ultimately amounted to a big zero in actual story progression. The only thing that moved his story forward was probably taking over for Leia as leader of the resistance in the next movie.
Oh and....flying Leia
Never in my life did I ever think I would watch a star wars movie that would end with a kid holding a broom.
damn he died
Why didn't the Laura Dern character just tell everyone what the plan was from the get-go...? What was critically important about keeping the plan from your fellow resistance fighters? Could they not be trusted? Spy issues? Plausible deniability in case of capture?Same for Poe. He ran around screwing everything up which ultimately amounted to a big zero in actual story progression. The only thing that moved his story forward was probably taking over for Leia as leader of the resistance in the next movie.
Oh and....flying Leia
The resistance fleet being chased for several hours also bothered me... like seriously? They couldn't catch up with more modern spacecraft?
I thought it was pretty weak.
The good:
Adam Driver and Daisey Ridley. Thought they were excellent and their story and chemistry was good.
Mark Hamill - Seemed to be having fun. Obviously knew this would probably be the last movie he'll ever do.
The surprises: There were lots of em and it kept things pretty fun.
The Bad:
The entire Fynn/Benecio-Del-Toro story was just boring.
Their plot/plan kept shifting/changing every ten minutes.
That rebel planet/base appearing out of nowhere was incredibly stupid.
The BB-8 driving the AT-ST was also stupid.
Also, I know this is suppose to leave the good guys at their lowest point, but it seems the entire "resistance" was small enough to all fit on the Millenium Falcon?
"Supreme Leader Snoke" is gone. Barely even knew him. Where the did he come from?
Cartoon ghost Yoda...meh.
I still have no idea where "the first order" came from, who funds their ships, what happened to "the republic" etc.
Basically the good-guys managed to stay alive through pure luck. Their was no Han Solo improving etc.
The worst part had to be Laura Dern. What the was she doing in a star wars movie?
JJ Abrahams did it better. This film needed a real writer. Not some stupid writer/director bull .
