Star Wars : Rogue One ; 1st trailer drops

[lefty]

Cool, that Mothma chick from ROTJ is in there

[Texas_Ranger]

Looks good. I just want to know if that guy in a black rope was vader, cause he will have a part in this one and they'll probably show more of him in the first full trailer. It would be stupid for them not to show him, cause a lot of people don't even know about this movie.

[lefty]

Vader doesn't wear a rope.

It's gonna be interesting to see how they will connect this movie to SW Rebels

[Findog]

Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure or GTFO

[Findog]

I like that the bad guy ( Ben Mendelssohn ) wears a cape. A cape is always a good fuckin' decision.

hope it's better than episode VII, that movie was garbage

[Texas_Ranger]

Vader doesn't wear a rope.

I hope they don't do it. It shouldn't be important to know anything about SWR when watching the movie. I don't mind if they put someone from the movie to that series, but not the other way around.

Some people on the internet believe that guy in a rope is Hayden(Vader) without the suit. :lol if true.

[SpursforSix]

Supposedly, Darth Vader will be the only character from the others that will be in this one. And that James Earl Jones has signed on to do his voice or play him or whatever.

[Xevious]

Hopefully they separate these anthology films from the others eventually. I don't give two shits about rogue one or a young Han Solo flick. Give me an old republic movie or something. There are so many stories than can be told within the Star Wars universe without retreading the same old characters and time period.

OK............WTF is this? I dont get it. This Star Wars shit is getting worse than Xmen and Spiderman. Didnt we just see Star Wars with the original characters? What in the hell happens with that series or saga? This shit makes no sense to me. Glad I really dont care anymore. Star Wars got uninteresting after The Empire Strikes Back.

This is just the beginning. Disney is going to pump out a Star Wars movie every year for the forseeable future.

[leemajors]

No.

Gotcha. But no one is gonna greenlight an Old Republic movie with no recognizable characters. Better hope is for a TV show tbh

[The Reckoning]

doubt I'll see it

[DMX7]

I'm more excited about this one than last year's release.

[Xevious]

And who the hell are these characters in Rogue One? It's highly unlikely that a light saber will even be in the movie. That was the idea for these off-year Star Wars flicks... random stories within the universe, sometimes even falling into different genres.

Movie about stealing Death Star plans is an easy sell. I do agree, I would like to see one about Old Republic, too - especially around Darth Bane and the rule of two, they dipped into it in the last few eps of Clone Wars when Yoda visited the first Sith Temple.

[Reck]

A Star Wars movie without any major Star Wars characters is a major fail. :lol

[Xevious]

A Star Wars movie without any major Star Wars characters is a major fail. :lol
Why?

[thispego]

So what is this? A spinoff?

[Reck]

Why?

Because it just feels like a cheap fill in money grabbing movie with Star Wars as a tag name to pull in the people until episode 8 drops.

Besides, the cast seems pretty lame. Yen is always awesome though.

Also you wont be able to get invested in these new characters knowing they're nowhere to be found in the later films. Useless characters without any substance or significance when it comes to the whole Star Wars universe. You know its sad when you're only hyped for the Grand Admiral. LOL

[The Reckoning]

So what is this? A spinoff?


disney is trying to make a star wars universe similar to what they do with the marvel universe

[Texas_Ranger]

So what is this? A spinoff?

yes, a story right before ep 4.

[Xevious]

So what is this? A spinoff?
In short, the numerical episodes (1-9) are a continuous story that primarily deal with the Skywalkers. These new movies labelled "A Star Wars Story" are basically self-contained, one-and-done films that can take place during any time about any character. They'll be released during the off years between the episodic films.

[thispego]

Interesting

[Pauly D]

Looks generic as fuck. Once again a SW plot centered around stopping a giant super weapon. The protagonist looks bland (actually, every character did), and the Asian guy was laughable but the writers knew the fucking beta fanboy types that like that Asian/Samurai stuff would eat that shit up

Awesome movie. Loved it. Better than Force Awakens for sure.

Can't wait for 6 weeks from now when all the hipsters and contrarians and South Park writers start talking about how it's an overrated piece of shit.

Going to see this tomorrow...

Nerdlings,
Other then the SFX is there much of a plot?
The acting could only get better from the last one.
Did this new one at least reach "average"?

Dat ending

Dat CGI throughout

After spending theatre cash on the pos Force Awakens, I'll be waiting to watch Rogue at home

[Findog]

They need to rework some of the dialogue for A New Hope:

LEIA: "I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan."

VADER: "BITCH I JUST SAW YOU LEAVING SCARIF."

[Findog]

The first Vader scene was cool but basically just fan service since it wasn't really crucial to the plot. Krennic shows up just for Vader to tell him to stop fucking up basically and mind his manners. Vader gives that bad pun and the scene's over. Served no point toward the plot, but I'm not complaining. It was cool to see Vader again and I'm blown away they used Ralph McQuarrie's original concept art for his castle and it's on Mustafar.

I was super excited when I heard Vader was in it.

His first scene was nice and had a great feel, but wow James Earl Jones just ain't got it anymore. It sounded like he could only get every other word out recording his takes and they had to splice all the dialogue together to make coherent sentences. He sounded like a Filipino doing a horrible impression of Vader. Not his fault though, he's like 85 years old. It really took me out of the scene.

They could easily found a replacement for his voice. And that ties in to some of the problems I had with the movie. The CGI humans, unforgivable. We get it, you're trying to tie it all in, but dammit, the original starwars is 40 yrs old! People would understand and forgive the film makers for using replacement people. The fact that they went CGI is just completely unacceptable.

With that said, Vader's 45 sec scene at the end practically make the whole thing worth it. :lol

Yeah the CGI characters were my only real issue. As far as it's advanced, you can still tell it's not at all real. I thought maybe they would just do a quick Tarkin cameo where you just saw his face through the dark reflection, but no :lol they went all out and made him a big character. Took you out of the movie every time all these real actors and real locations/sets suddenly interacted with a CGI person.

[phyzik]

I saw it.... I liked it... especially when Vader went all "Sith" on them rebel punks at the end and totally wrecked them. Got the chills when he lit up his light saber in the beginning of that sequence. Some of the CGI stuff I could have done without, but it wasn't horrible. K-2SO is my favorite droid so far in the entire movie franchise, but they need an HK assassin droid already like in the KOTOR game series calling people Meat Bags and being a total dick to life forms. Even though young Carrie Fisher was obvious CGI, it was still pretty impressive IMHO.

There are so many stories they could tell with Vader. He needs his standalone movie.

He's been in six (now seven) movies from his childhood to his death... time to move on.

I would like to see a Star Wars movie centered around a droid TBH. I think they are an untapped and overlooked resource in the Star Wars universe. Sure, Jedi vs sith and Empire vs Rebelion are the main focus, but droids play a huge part in the back story.

[Rust Cohle]

He's been in six (now seven) movies from his childhood to his death... time to move on.
Yeah but 3 of those were total dogshit that neary ruined Vader permanently. The 20 seconds of Vader going apeshit in Rogue One definitely helped undo the damage of the prequels #MakeVaderGreatAgain

[djohn2oo8]

He's been in six (now seven) movies from his childhood to his death... time to move on.

And never once was his full potential of his powers on display until Rogue one...

[StrengthAndHonor]

The first act is slow and meh, but the second and the THIRD is Star Wars all the way! More Star Wars-y than Force Awakens. We get space battle action that is so satisfying.

Yeah agreed. JEJ couldn't summon up classic Vader. A couple of the lines were fine but some were off:

https://vid.me/njq9

It was still a cool scene.

[angrydude]

Much much better than the Force Awakens even if it could have had a little better characterization for the main characters. I can't watch the force awakens again. This I'm positive I could.

[leemajors]

I thought Leia looked better than Tarkin, but it has to be a bitch to get all those wrinkles looking right

[leemajors]

Also, the ship from Star Wars Rebels being in it several times was pretty cool too.

[Brazil]

I saw it yesterday... I had not read anything about neither seen any trailers... I was expecting the worst, I did not like a lot TFA tbh and thought they will further milk the cow with this one. At the end I enjoyed it a lot :lol it was well done, I mean you can complain about this or that but overall that's solid. I liked the new angle, more adult stuff in fight scenes... the characters were all good except for Saw (not sure wtf Whitaker was doing in that role). A lot of scenes were just badass. Good stuff :tu

[Mitch]

Had low expectations, tbh. Brilliant ending, mostly a good movie. Blind asian dude was kind of weird, but I like the explanation they gave to the deathstar weakness.

[johnsmith]

Awesome movie. Loved it. Better than Force Awakens for sure.

Can't wait for 6 weeks from now when all the hipsters and contrarians and South Park writers start talking about how it's an overrated piece of shit.


I 100% agree with this.

[spurraider21]

didnt see any trailers, went and saw it yesterday. two thumbs up. nice how they worked out a plausible story for the death star weakness, and love how perfectly it sets up to ep. 4

Awesome movie going experience. Vader wrecked fools :lol

Awesome movie going experience. Vader wrecked fools :lol

This. I've yet to see The Force Awakens and I'm still traumatized from episodes 1&2 (never saw 3). I thought that was Peter Cushing for sure as Tarkin--gave me chills. Vader is simply the best villain ever created. I also like how they spliced in old clips of Red and Gold Leaders.

I think there was at least 3 Marvel trailers...Wonderwoman:lol, Logan, and some kind of Avengers movie. Doesn't that strike you as overkill? I understand Star Wars is also fantasy/sci-fi, but 3 of the same goddamn brand of movies in the previews? There was also another Transformers movie:sleep

Dunkirk looked interesting...saved the previews

I didn't get any of those tbh, but I was hoping for the Wonder Woman trailer so my daughter could see it. Her comments on Rogue One were, "I loved that everyone died, but I wish someone had been ripped in half and someone else strangled with their intestines." We got Cars 3 and some other random tailers.

It was really good. The story was great, characters were likeable and believable. The Vader bits were legit.

But TFA is undeniably a remake, and a creatively hollow piece of shit.

Wanted to see this opening week because I thought the trailer looked good, plus I liked the director's work on Godzilla, but Ive been busy and sick.
Finally saw it and it blew Episode 7 out of the water. Granted I think Ep. 7 is the shittiest in the series, but this looked and felt far more like SW. It's not perfect but I liked it a lot. Hopefully Gareth Edwards does another of the spinoff films.

This.

Theres not a scene in the entire film that doesnt absolutely suck. Red letter media guys summed it up much better than I ever could.

As for Rogue One I thought it was pretty weak. Take away the Star Wars connection and it was an extremely boring movie.

The fan service "Darth Vader cuts up the rebels and nerds in the theater go crazy" was embarrassing.

Let's not forget that the emperor would have never come to power had Jar Jar Binks not nominated Palpatine in ep3. It's was George Lucas' F-you to the fans that hated Jar Jar.

thought the 1 was okish tbh the 2 was killed by this horrible padme/anakin interraction, the 3 was ok in my book tbh

Jar Jar is a scapegoat.

The films have no central character or any character that the audience can identify with. There is no emotional connection between the "heroes" and the "villains", just people wearing different colored robes. The "plot" of episode I is both confusing and boring.

I dont know how George Lucas wrote the original Star Wars. Peeps like to point out that it, too, has flaws but let me give you one example of brilliant writing:

1) The heroes are stuck in a trash compactor
2) They are in a trash compactor because their rescue attempt went to shit
3) Their rescue attempt went to shit because they are amateurs. Theyre making it up as they go along ("were fine now...how are you").
4) They knew where princess leiah's cell was because R2 found out while plugged into the death star. They decide to attempt a rescue.
5) R2 was plugged into the death star to try and find out how to deactive the tractor beam
6) They were sucked into the tractor beam beam because they arrived at Alderan after the death star had just blown it up
7) They went to Alderan to try and deliver stolen plans to the death star
8) The empire has a death star because they are inherently evil

What i just explained there is HARD AS FUCK to do. None of this actually happened, George Lucas made it up. I dont know how. Everything in the prequels tells us he doesnt have the slightest clue how to write a script.

Well yeah, Eps 4-6 had plots and great character developments.

Eps 1-3 just tried to smoke and mirror the audience with special effects

The only likeable character is Qui Gon, and that's simply because of Liam Neeson. Obi Wan comes off as boring and condisending. I'd go to the dark side too if my master referred to me as "my very young padiwan" instead of simply saying my name.

I generally liked the plot lines of the prequels, but the execution was terrible. The acting, the over reliance on CGI, the dialogue, Jar Jar... Done right, I don't think the story would have been that bad.

:lolsome people ITT giving veiled praise or acceptance of the prequels. gtfo

[monosylab1k]

Episode 3 is the worst.

:tu absolutely. The most cringeworthy, sappy, horribly acted bullshit I've maybe ever seen. I think the prequels got worse as they went along. Not saying Phantom Menace wasn't total garbage, but it was by far better than the teenybopper love story/complete neutering of Darth Vader in Episodes 2 & 3.

You can dislike Force Awakens, but if you actually think it was worse than any of the prequels, then you have some other agenda beside judging a movie on it's own merits.

[monosylab1k]

Can't wait for 6 weeks from now when all the hipsters and contrarians and South Park writers start talking about how it's an overrated piece of shit.


As for Rogue One I thought it was pretty weak. Take away the Star Wars connection and it was an extremely boring movie.

The fan service "Darth Vader cuts up the rebels and nerds in the theater go crazy" was embarrassing.

And it's begun.

[Blake]

So Darth flings the soldiers around but couldn't hold the door open to get the plans?

I still l liked the scene tho. Wanted more.

I thought the same thing, but then figured he's the one holding the door...while also using the force to fling soldiers, deflect lasers, and slice n dice with his light saber. He was multi tasking.

:lol Well looks like I'm the only who prefers the PT over Ep.7, that's fine.

The prequels certainly have issues and Ep. 2 was my least favorite until Ep. 7 came along.

Personally I'd rate Rogue One way higher than both.

Generally how I feel. The elements were there, especially visually and musically, but Lucas needed to iron out the story because it didn't come together like it could've.

George Lucas made the prequels all dessert (special effects), no meat.

Didn't Darth Maul have the high ground on Kenobi?

FINALLY got around to reading the book (I've done this with both the new SW additions instead of watching the movies and I'm pretty happy with that choice given some of the complaints I've read from movie-goers). Thought it was pretty good. Very emotionally heavy, gave a good sense of the whole conflict with perspectives from pretty much any major or second-tier character. While the general contour was pretty predictable, the plot moved along nicely and didn't get bogged down (except for the Death Star scene in Jetta). Had a bunch of emails included which added some nice depth that might not be in the movie.

Thought it was a better book than Force Awakens. Dunno if the movie was better, though.

[gambit1990]

i watched the first 30 minutes or so. then stopped watching.

I finished Thrawn last week, it was good.

The first 3 episodes of Andor are now available. I'll try and watch tonight.

Same

[Darth_Pelican]

So far, so good

[lefty]

First 2 episodes were slow AF , things picked up in episode 3

Ot should get even better once we get to see Mon Mothma and her work behind the scenes on Coruscant

[leemajors]

4th ep moving along nicely, digging this show.

[leemajors]

The Eye was great

[leemajors]

Andor is a pretty damn good show, tbh

[Trill Clinton]

I love this show. Best Star Wars series imo, yes better than Mando. Luthin kills every scene he's in.

Stellan Skarsgard is a fantastic actor

That scene in one of the early episodes where he put on wig an practiced a fake persona on his way to Coruscant was great

Let's not forget about the animated SW series , they are great too tbh

His speech at the end of the previous ep was amazing. I thought Kinos was good but that one blew it away.

Rebels is still my fave, but I am glad Andor is different than the previous shows tbh

The scene where he recruited Cassian when they were pinned down in that warehouse was Oscar worthy.

[Darth_Pelican]

Everyone loves a good prison break scene. This show delivers.
