12.13.16 | kind of a sigh of relief |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | I'm worried admittedly, I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of all these spin-offs they plan to do. I hope it works as a good story in its own right without playing off of too many Star Wars tropes. |
Toondude10
12.13.16 | I do feel like that Han Solo movie is going to blow tbh |
FullOfSounds
12.13.16 | Keep in mind this is Star Wars, it's going to get rave reviews no matter what.
I have high hopes tho |
Toondude10
12.13.16 | "Keep in mind this is Star Wars, it's going to get rave reviews no matter what."
Tell that to the prequels |
AlexKzillion
12.13.16 | inb4 an alt comes in and spoils the whole movie just like last year |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | Tell that to the prequels [2]
and yeah I'm much more worried about that Han Solo movie than I am about Rogue One |
Toondude10
12.13.16 | "hmm those scores are pretty low for re-release"
it's certified fresh on RT, so if it does go down it's unlikely that it'll go down below 70% at least |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | Han Solo dies |
Jots
12.13.16 | if it's on par with FA then it'll be a worstOTY contender |
AlexKzillion
12.13.16 | Han and Leia are Kylo Ren's parents :0 |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | "if it's on par with FA then it'll be a worstOTY contender"
I thought TFA was really good if a bit too much of a nostalgia trip. |
MarsKid
12.13.16 | Force Awakens was pretty damn awful. |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | It's better than the first two prequels at the very least |
Mesm277
12.13.16 | 7.6 on IMDB at 2k ratings tho |
tenderscum
12.13.16 | probably will be another Market Figure of a movie like TFA and blow hard |
Toondude10
12.13.16 | "It's better than the first two prequels at the very least"
How much is that saying though? |
MyNameIsPencil
12.13.16 | Force Awakens was pretty good, even if it was pretty heavy handed in referring to the original trilogy |
AlexKzillion
12.13.16 | "It's better than the first two prequels at the very least"
Is it though? |
MarsKid
12.13.16 | "It's better than the first two prequels at the very least"
That's super easy to do.
TFA had paper-thin characters, a plot ripped right from A New Hope, and no interesting developments. But at the very least it wasn't completely and utterly boring like the political shit from Ep. 1 or the terrible love scenes from Ep. 2.
|
Ocean of Noise
12.14.16 | V > IV > III > VI > VII > I > II |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | Yeah, if you don't care that much about the movie it's mindless fun.
But if you pay closer attention it's just trash. I mean, I understand why a filmmaker would not want to take risks with a franchise as big as Star Wars, but it was offensive how safe the whole movie turned out. |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | IMO Return of the Jedi gets the shaft quite a bit but I don't think it's really that bad at all. |
Ocean of Noise
12.14.16 | Yea TFA was severely overrated |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | Switch III and VI as well as II and I and I agree with Ocean's rankings. |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | Are you putting II above one?
Bold move there, Cotton. |
Cygnatti
12.14.16 | im gonna watch it but it better not suck tbh |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | I dunno how this movie will turn out, but I wouldn't give any notice to the RT score. They're not exactly a reliable source. |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | In like 10 years, the phrase "the original star wars movies" is gonna include the prequels too. |
Sinternet
12.14.16 | itt dumbasses with wrong opinions TFA was great and super enjoyable not the best in the world but still fun and this will rule hard obvs so get your shit together fuckheads m/m/m/ |
Illoomorpheme
12.14.16 | "a plot ripped right from A New Hope"
That's the point, it's a setup that leads into a setup for another 3 movies. Lucas had the idea from the very beginning with starting the movies at 4. 1,4,7 are the same, 2,5,8 are the same, and 3,6,9 are the same. |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | A New Hope and The Phantom Menace are much different from eachother compared to TFA and ANH tho. |
Illoomorpheme
12.14.16 | True, but that's more of a testament to how bad TPM was though. 2 and 3 are a lot more conceptually similar to 5 and 6. |
Source
12.14.16 | Return of the Jedi will always be my fav, I don't care what anyone says |
Sinternet
12.14.16 | i mean that's a lot to do with the fact that it was a prequel so the story is a lot more restricted as it has to lead into a previously told story, with TFA they are free to tke the plot anywhere just like they were with the original movie |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | And Phantom Menace (although an objectively bad movie) was waaaayy more creative and took waaay more risks then TFA did in spite of the story being waaayy more restricted.
"but that's more of a testament to how bad TPM was though."
No it's not. |
Sinternet
12.14.16 | yeah i agree but after the reception the prequels got then what choice did they have other than to make it safe? it still works imo though and its a super fun movie |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | Well as much as I seem to shit on TFA I did like it as a movie(but not as a star wars movie if that makes any sense). I'll give disney a pass this time because yeah they really had no choice but VIII better not be an Empire Strikes Back remake. |
Tunaboy45
12.14.16 | disney are just milking the name for everything it's worth, the film is pure franchise expansion |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | ^ exactly, at least the main new trilogy advances a story/characters we care about
Old EU >>>>>> |
Sinternet
12.14.16 | you know, a movie about the yuuzhan vong wars ould have been pretty fucking ace |
theBoneyKing

zaruyache
12.14.16 | 84% is a good score but not ridiculous. That kinda gives me hope since it feels like a more objective "this is good, but let's not get crazy" kind of score than The Force Awakens' ultrahype 92/100. It looks cool, and at the very least it'll be a really pretty film... and it's in outer space so ima love it regardless. |

MO
12.14.16 | "It's better than the first two prequels at the very least"
lol all the prequels were complete garbage including sith |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | "this"
lolno, there are no 'wrong' opinions here. TFA's only good if you're not giving an actual care about what happens on the screen. That's how I see it.
I'll defend prequel I over II because II is just fucking shit and should be at the bottom of everyone's list tbh |
AlexKzillion

neekafat
12.14.16 | IV/VII/VI not set in stone, need to rewatch |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | Used to like III but it definitely didn't age well. Just a bunch of flashy effects with a shit story. Kinda like Avatar. |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | III has aged WAY better then I and II though and arguably even VI from a visual standpoint. |
anat
12.14.16 | stale wars |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | III is better than II and I definitely, but I don't put it above VI. I actually really like that one even though people don't give it much credit. |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | Oh I meant just visually |
polyrhythm
12.14.16 | III is garbage and really not that much better than I or II |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | "Oh I meant just visually"
Alrighty, I get that. I was mainly saying that as I grew older and watched it more, it didn't resonate nearly as well and its value to me decayed over time.
I'd say III is pretty clearly above the other prequels, but that's a debate not worth anyone's time.
|
MO
12.14.16 | exactly polyrhythm. III is just so bad. they fucking sped through his turning to the dark side so damn fast. they should've never been made. the writing didn't make fucking any sense |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | lol yeah, the move jumps to fucking mach speed at like the final 1/3 of the film, which pretty much ruins any sort of tension.
Plus Hayden Christensen tends to ruin every scene he's in, partly due to his acting and partly due to simply awful writing. |
DoofusWainwright
12.14.16 | Can't be as bad as the remix film they released last year
Can it? |
polyrhythm
12.14.16 | tell that to kanjiklub |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | I don't see myself going out to watch it per my own will, but I'll see what overall reception is like first. Sometimes Disney cranks out a good Marvel movie so maybe they can give the same treatment to Star Wars. |
zaruyache
12.14.16 | "Kinda like Avatar."
yoouuuu shut your mouth-- Sigourney Weaver makes everything better! |

12.14.16 | same Alex |

12.14.16 | hopefully its better than Force Awakens. that movie was godawful. |

Sinternet
12.14.16 | getting dat pussy yo |
dbizzles
12.14.16 | Gonna see this on Saturday; I hope it is good. I didn't think TFA was very good (6.5/10) but I will be taking a 7 year-old with me and he loves the shit out of Star Wars so it's more for him than myself which kind of makes it hard for me to be disappointed as long as he has fun. |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | Yeah same. Seeing it at 6pm friday. As much as I kind of hate what disney is doing with the franchise, there's absolutely no way I'm not seeing these movies. |
Toondude10
12.14.16 | Hopefully seeing it tomorrow as long as tickets aren't sold out |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | Tell us how it goes my man. I don't suppose it'll be that bad, but Imma wait and see how reception pans out. |
unclereich
12.15.16 | Not gunna waste my 10 dollars on another one of these god forsaken films. This coming from someone who owns every toy, lego, video game, etc. Ep VII was otherworldly bad, no more star wars for me |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | Every? |
unclereich
12.15.16 | I'll never forget last year going to an early showing in imax for vii and my best friend and i looking at each other saying "man what if they do something dumb just to elicit a response like kill luke or han". We both cracked up and said if that happened we'd walk out. Sure enough we walked out as did 30-40 other people. |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | That death was pretty lame definitely
Luke's ~20 seconds of screen time are up there too.
Boyhood still sucks more tho |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | I'd never willingly see a movie I'd dislike
I'm generally the same with music unless the terrible quality makes it redeemable in some manner |

12.15.16 | "Droid please" |

dathvada321
12.15.16 | TFA was hella disappointing. V>IV>III>VI>VII>>>>>>I>>>>>>>II is my ranking. |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | Man, I really don't think RotJ is that bad |
porcupinetheater
12.15.16 | The last Star Wars movie worth watching came out in 1980 |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | It's really a good movie in my book, but suddenly I'm seeing people put it below III
Like what propels III above VII |
dathvada321
12.15.16 | I was never in love with ROTJ. Even as a kid I thought the Ewoks were dumb, and I was disappointed that there was another death star. Imagine my chagrin when I saw Starkiller base lol. |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | Like I said before, TFA is modern-day A New Hope. Han himself just says something like "So it's just a bigger one." The movie pre much admits its own unoriginal choices in jest. |
MeatSalad
12.15.16 | I'll probably check it out but it looks like a fan made film or some shit
Which at this point is basically what these new star wars films all are |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | III has aged better visually at least just because of the times |
MeatSalad
12.15.16 | I'm just glad I'm not a real diehard star wars fan because these new films have zero reason to exist besides money
Not even lucas who's career was full of terrible decisions wanted to make a new one |
MarsKid
12.15.16 | I used to be a huge Star Wars fan, but it faded with age
Still love the original trilogy ofc |
Toondude10
12.16.16 | Just got back from Rogue One. Much better than Force Awakens imo. |

12.16.16 | BEST STARWARS MOVIE THAT ISN'T EP4, 5 OR 6 TBH |
Ocean of Noise
12.16.16 | "Like what propels III above VII"
I find the story in III is much more original and compelling than that of VII. The ideas in VII had all been done before. III was fresh and a new kind of Star Wars movie really. |
betray
12.16.16 | story of III more compelling??
the one about the edgy teenager?
|
Toondude10
12.16.16 | Eh, he was probably in his early 20s by III tbh |
Sinternet
12.16.16 | yeah no III doesn't get close to VI, yes VI is less original but the character dynamics and general atmosphere is a ton more engaging, III just made me frustrated. Tbh i like I more than III. |
betray
12.16.16 | "Eh, he was probably in his early 20s by III tbh"
even worse |
Toondude10
12.16.16 | "Tbh i like I more than III."
Pretty bold opinion there. |
betray
12.16.16 | not really imo |
Sinternet
12.16.16 | I just liked I more and it was one of the first films I ever saw so it has nostalgia value. I thought it had more of a charm to it, it was kinda odd and quirky whilst with II and III they attempted to make it dark which just stripped it of most of it's charm. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | i see its now cool for the same people who hyped the shit out of VII to vehemently shit on it. |
betray
12.16.16 | ^ |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | thank god the same people who bought their forty dollar 3d hd spv jdhehs presale tickets seven years before the movie came out are so aware and above this bullshit consumerist franchise that they have already spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on
much enlighten |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | and what i mean by that is all of you are fucking goofs tbh |
Sinternet
12.16.16 | Yeah, i mean it wasn't the best film in the world, but if you were going into VII expecting it to be a masterpiece then you certainly would be disappointed. What they needed to do was put out a solid release to turn the series in the right direction and they did just that. It was a pretty damn fun movie as well. |
tacos n stuff
12.16.16 | got back from rogue one, it was pretty good
there were some oddities but i wasnt expecting a masterpiece, and no offense but no one realy should be with disney star wars films
around 7/10 for me |
Sinternet
12.16.16 | good to hear! i'm going on my birthday with a friend who's never seen star wars and i'm hoping she'll enjoy it. |
ShadowRemains
12.16.16 | lol @ the storyline in III being more compelling than VII
that whole movie was way too compressed for its own good |
NewBallistics
12.16.16 | Rogue One was awesome! It wasn't a masterpiece, but the back-half of the movie felt exactly like a film adaptation of Battlefront 2. I went into this thinking it was going to be trash so I'm super relieved.
And yeah, it's wayyyy better than TFA. |
tacos n stuff
12.16.16 | definitely liked it more than TFA, you guys can take that as you will |
VaxXi
12.16.16 | Has everyone glanced over the fact that this film retconned the hell out of the prequel trilogy? There were quite a few scenes + dialogue that contradicts how episode 3 played out, they're not canon now. |
MarsKid
12.16.16 | I got a new theater opening near me the first week of next year.
Apparently it's like this dinner theater sort of thing. |
neekafat
12.16.16 | It was so good. |
Trundle
12.16.16 | TFA sucked ass, all i could think while watching it was, "i've seen this movie before and it came out in the 70's and was a million times better"
it had enough cringe worthy scenes to put it up there with the prequels,
In fact, i prefer Episode III to TFA |
50iL
12.16.16 | Dunno man, I prefer TFA to Rogue One by a long shot.
Rouge One is like a 7.5/10 for me while TFA is like an 8.3/10 |
neekafat
12.16.16 | I really enjoyed them both to an unjustifiable extent, so yeah |

KenboSlice
12.16.16 | Can we take a moment to appreciate how badass that final Vader scene was? |
Toondude10
12.16.16 | Probably my favorite part of the whole film |
necropig
12.16.16 | The only good parts were donnie yen and the final vader scene. "dont choke on your aspirations" I wanted to leave when that happened. Overall fairly shit, hype culture at its work again. |
KenboSlice
12.16.16 | K2-SO was pretty great too. |
50iL
12.16.16 | Yeah that final Vader scene was quality
Am I the only one that feels like Jyn's backstory took way too much of the film and was very ineffective?
Also, disappointed how they didn't show how the 5 main rebels (Jyn and co) became the Knights of Ren :/ |
hal1ax
12.16.16 | Thought it was decent. Better than I expected |
hal1ax
12.16.16 | Don't choke on your aspirations was awful agreed |
Gmork89
12.16.16 | "hype culture"
Thats a new one. |
50iL
12.16.16 | So cringey |
jtswope
12.16.16 | This was disappointing - not bad, just not great for a Star Wars movie. The last 15 or so minutes were great and satisfying though. Just felt like most of the film lacked interesting characters and compelling story. |
50iL
12.16.16 | The emperor? Palpatine doesn't appear in the movie dude |
hal1ax
12.16.16 | Idk I think I like the chars in rogue one more than those in TFA
Not sure if that's saying much but .. |
KenboSlice
12.16.16 | It's also kind of hard to become the Knights of Ren when you're all fucking dead. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | The main complaint I see about tfa is that it's the same as episode iv. The problem with that is that these are people of the same generation who spends billions every year on remakes. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | Tfa was always supposed to mirror anh, it's essentially just a contemporary remake as a diving point into a new gen of star wars and it served that purpose. |
50iL
12.16.16 | Omg I can't remember for the life of me
I did stay for the whole movie and there are no after credit scenes though...
I'm confused. |
hal1ax

12.16.16 | Ahhh k then

12.16.16 | The Force Awakens had bigger problems beyond "its the same as episode 4", but it wasn't a bad movie. Neither is this film. |
SgtShock
12.16.16 | The soundtrack was awful. You could tell it was put together in one month. |

12.16.16 | Regardless I'd gladly stare at daisy ridley and felicity Jones for 2 hours any day |

12.16.16 | Felicity Jones' eyes are hella weird in this movie, tho. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | She's beautiful. |

12.16.16 | exactly, pots
people are expecting disney to make these grand and ground breaking star wars films and then get mad when they ended up with a disney movie with star wars fan service. |
50iL
12.16.16 | Daisy > Felicity |
tacos n stuff
12.16.16 | felicity is gorgeous |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | They are both absolutely drop dead gorg |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | The one bad thing about amazing spider man 3 getting cancelled is that she would have been black cat |
tacos n stuff
12.16.16 | damnnn dude, your girlfriend better be a goddess if you think felicity is ugly |
50iL
12.16.16 | I mean of course she isn't ugly but Daisy is just... wow |
Gameofmetal
12.16.16 | movie was good, although whoever thought that darth vader one liner in his first scene was a good idea should probably be fired lol |

adr
12.16.16 | lol she indeed looks like a rabbit |
hal1ax
12.16.16 | The final Vader scene almost kinda made up for that horrific piece of dialogue tho |

12.16.16 | me and my sis laughed our asses off at the "aspirations" line in the theatre. who thought that was a good idea? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.16.16 | People who have the need to shit on objectively beautiful women generally are extremely sexually frustrated agreed |
necropig
12.16.16 | ASPIRATIONS! CHOKE ON EM |
hal1ax
12.16.16 | Like let's have darth Vader spew some tortured pun in his inaugural scene |
VaxXi
12.16.16 | The line was a stupid product of a Dinsey-aligned Star Wars structure, but I don't think it was bad enough to be detrimental to the film. The real issue Rogue One had was how awful everything was until Jaku blew up. |
hal1ax
12.16.16 | Jyn's backstory ? I didn't really have a problem with it. Probably allocated too much of the film tho |
Gameofmetal
12.16.16 | felicity is prettier imo but daisy has the most adorable infectious smile. either way they're both cute af |

guess ill have to wait and see for myself but sounds pretty awesome to me tbh |

12.17.16 | it was definitely funny, just in a "wow did that really make it into the movie" kinda way. you have a point I suppose |

hal1ax
12.17.16 | guess it comes down to degree of cheese. like old trilogy had just the right amount vs. the prequels which went pretty overboard. i thought the writing in rogue one was good tho, with the exclusion of a couple lines which, as you said, are kinda ingrained in the charm and allure of the franchise. too much can be a bad thing doe |

12.17.16 | James Earl Jones' voice sounds noticeably aged and that's the only part of the Vader scenes I didn't like. Choking a guy and making a joke about it seemed very Vader-esque so I barely noticed he was making a pun when he said it. Pots you should probably dig it. It's fairly campy but it's also just good Star Wars fun. Fairly predictable, but good execution. |

anyone well-versed in star wars lore? was the blind asian dude in this movie like a renowned jedi ? or is he just a highly adept force enthusiast |
zaruyache
12.17.16 | Nah Chirrut Îmwe was just a spiritual warrior monk. He was an obvious Force sensitive but wasn't specifically affiliated with the Jedi, though it did say he was a monk at the temple where they guarded Kyber Crystals or w/e. |
hal1ax
12.17.16 | ahh ya ok. i assumed he had some jedi link because, aside from his fighting prowess and use of the force, he knew a lot about the kyber crystals, which apparently power lightsabers, and was one of the guardians of the temple at which said crystals were kept. |

+Non-stop action.
+Jyn's adorable baby face.
+Kept the star wars theme strong throughout and didn't ruin it with cliche cameos.
+Vader's epic/jawdropping lightsaber scene.
- Jyn's dull charisma (in some scenes)
- Some character's deaths seemed unnecessary and out of place. |

polyrhythm
12.17.16 | TFA was so so so so so much better than AOTC, it was entertaining and actually felt like a Star Wars film. The aliens, jedi and lightsabers were used sparingly and thus preserved the mysticism those things had in the original trilogy, rather than being rammed down our throats in the form of a CGI abortion. Han talking to Rey and Finn about the events of the original trilogy ("it's true... all of it") with John Williams' timeless score playing in the background was fanservicey and nostalgic, but more powerful than any scene in the prequels imo. All of those shots of ruined star destroyers and callbacks to the original trilogy worked wonders for me, it immortalised those events and symbols and gave a sense of a cyclical universe.
Episodes I and II aren't even worth talking about, those don't even qualify as Star Wars films. Yoda back flips, sand monologues, trade negotiations, PS2 graphics instead of actual action set pieces... WTF was that. ROTS did actual Star Wars stuff at times, but relied on the original trilogy as much as TFA did, just in the other direction... it built up to A New Hope with lots of nods and winks, rather than calling back to it. Still piggybacking off of the mythology and lore. Member berries, just in the form of a prequel.
As superior as it might be to the first two episodes, ROTS was still an unspeakably flawed hot mess... the acting and the CGI being the biggest culprits. |

12.17.16 | V > IV > VII > VI > III > I > II... still need to see Rogue One, going tomorrow. |
Storm In A Teacup
12.17.16 | fuck yes poly we have the same ranking and opinion except I couldn't decide if II or I was to be ranked the worst and that's why I just put an extra space between them and the rest. |
Storm In A Teacup
12.17.16 | "cyclical universe"
that's basically Star Wars in a nutshell if you are a fan of the entire story spanning tens of thousands of years. dudes were talking about luke skywalker and company thousands of years before they were born. |
zaruyache
12.17.16 | Phantom doesn't have all that obnoxiously bad CGI so I don't get how people can think it's on the terribad level of AOTC. No super bad performances or dialogue, either. Sure Jar Jar is a giant annoyance, but there are going to be goofy aliens out there and his species just happened to be one of them. |

Keyblade
12.17.16 | damn it's out already, was reading recently they switched up the story or something so i assumed it was a while yet
gonna peep it soon then, i really enjoyed TFA |
AlexKzillion
12.17.16 | "The aliens, jedi and lightsabers were used sparingly and thus preserved the mysticism those things had in the original trilogy,"
Uhhhhmmmm maybe because the movies take place during a time period where there was more then like two jedi. Also they used a fuck ton of aliens in TFA too so how is that a knock on the prequels and how is that even a criticism it's fucking star wars for crying out loud?
"rather than being rammed down our throats in the form of a CGI abortion."
Well brace yourself for Rogue One which also uses a bunch of CGI. Also, yeah the "real effects and props" were great in the originals, but imo it made TFA worse. It just seemed like they were trying so hard to be like "HEY WERE USING REAL SETS LIKE THE ORIGINALS THIS IS REAAAAALLL STAR WARS" that most of the shots were like "that's just a movie set" and it took me out of the movie more times then not.
"Han talking to Rey and Finn about the events of the original trilogy ("it's true... all of it") with John Williams' timeless score playing in the background was fanservicey and nostalgic, but more powerful than any scene in the prequels imo."
I liked this scene and was one of the best in the movie. Saying it was more powerful than any prequel scene isn't saying much though since the prequels severely lacked in that. However, I think the scene where Anakin's mom died was more powerful. But fr tho TFA was easily John William's worst star wars score, not that it was bad by any means though that dude is a fucking god.
"All of those shots of ruined star destroyers and callbacks to the original trilogy worked wonders for me, it immortalised those events and symbols and gave a sense of a cyclical universe."
I liked that the first few times but I feel like they overdid it. Rogue One sorta has this problem too to a lesser extent.
"Episodes I and II aren't even worth talking about, those don't even qualify as Star Wars films."
I'd say I and II qualify more then TFA just based on the fact that Lucas made them, while he had practically no say at all when it came to TFA.
"ROTS did actual Star Wars stuff at times, but relied on the original trilogy as much as TFA did, just in the other direction... it built up to A New Hope with lots of nods and winks, rather than calling back to it. Still piggybacking off of the mythology and lore."
TFA piggybacked off the originals 8930475349257x more then the prequels ever did wtf. |

12.17.16 | Rogue One kicks ass. Loved it. Of course, Episode 4 and 5 are untouchable because without those there wouldn't be Star Wars, but Rogue One is my favorite aside from those. The tone was killer! I don't care about this talk of under developed characters, I felt like I knew enough for what the movie entailed and if I think about the characters more a lot is implied about them just due to who this person is in this universe and I feel like I know plenty. |

12.17.16 | I dont blame the producers for trying to use a cgi tarkin but he had too much screen time and and since the technology just isnt there yet, it just looked weird.

I actually didn't mind Vader's "don't choke on your aspirations" line to be honest and his second scene at the end was amazing. I also didn't mind the first half of the movie, it was kind of slow but it didn't bug me too much. Overall, I enjoyed Rogue One more than the Force Awakens. |

Idk I thought they did a really good job with tarkin. Plus for some reason he looked slightly different to me compared to IV so I thought either they did an insane makeup job or that they found someone who looked just like peter cushing. Also I would have never expected Disney to digitally resurrect a man who died over 20 years ago and just stick him into a movie.
Lol just read that they originally had a real actor playing Tarkin but then in post-production they cut him and went with the Peter Cushing cgi. |

12.18.16 | Yeah they could have replaced him with Vader in some scenes. |
betray
12.18.16 | just saw it again
better than episodes 1 2 3 6 and 7 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.18.16 | just got back from seeing it. it was good but im not going to lie
~unpopular opinion warning~
i liked tfa better
the final vader scene was objectively amazing but i was bored way more often throughout the film than i was watching tfa. when i walked out of tfa i was ready to walk back in and watch it again. with rogue one i dont feel the need to go back and see it again in theatres.
honestly the beggining of the film with jyn as a kid was my favorite part of the movie. the visuals were super evocative and i wish it was that gripping the entire way through. but i felt no connection to any of the characters and as much as i was happy that they all died as that is pretty un-hollywood (even if given the known future events it had to have happened that way) each of their deaths was kind of cliche and thus not very emotionally effective for me. having them all one by one die in this ~feelsy~ fashion just didnt do much for me. id prefered if they all died together getting fucked the fuck up by darth vader. that would have been way more satisfying and grave. their deaths dont need to be glorified just because we saw like 10 minutes of character development for each of them, i would have felt more emotionally distraught if they all just got straight up by raped vader at the end with no time to all hold hands and kiss about it disney style.
also i dont know why everyone is hyping Chirrut so hard, literally every single line he spoke made the list of cringiest lines of the entire movie... he was a terrible trope the entire film justified by cool action sequences |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.18.16 | also the "dont choke on your aspirations" line was objectively awesome |
MeatSalad
12.18.16 | donnie yen's line delivery was the single worst thing about the movie, but yeah he had 2 cool moments |
MeatSalad
12.18.16 | and yeah the 2 darth vader scenes were the best parts, amazing pun in one and amazing action scene in the other |

12.18.16 | was a lot more fun the second time through, liked it well enough the first time but it was way better the second time through when i wasn't analyzing it at all.

Valkoor952
12.18.16 | seeing it in an hour HYPE |

12.18.16 | I thought both Tarkin and Liea looked terrible tbh. The voice they got for Tarkin was pretty accurate though. |
wwf
12.18.16 | I'm sort of on the fence about this movie on whether it was mostly good or mostly great. On one hand, it genuinely brought me close to tears a couple of times and the scene with Darth Vader murdering everyone endlessly and the scene right before it were some of the most incredible scenes in a movie I've seen since like.... Fury Road or something
On the other hand the first two acts are kind of full with issues. There's a lot of really cliched characters that are just fairly boring and Forest Whitaker's character didn't make much sense to me other than as a way to tie Jyn to the plot of the movie without revealing too much about her father. Why was her father working with him when he is basically an extremist? Pretty much all of the problems the movie has getting geared up pays off by the end though and even most of the cliched characters have some great moments so it's hard to say whether it's really a problem or just something that's going to make it boring to rewatch
Also, I don't see it mentioned very often, but Jeddha City exploding into a bloodbath in like a war-on-terror-esque way was one of the most shockingly violent things I've seen in a long time, along with the Darth Vader scene. They did not pull punches in this movie |
ChubbyEwok
12.18.16 | I thought Tarkin looked fine but Liea looked noticeably worse. |
hal1ax
12.18.16 | "Why was her father working with him when he is basically an extremist?"
i mean they both were former imperial men who became disillusioned with the empire, leading to their detachment. despite the fact that one was an extremist and one was a bit more pragmatic and leveled, i think they could've connected through their shared ideologies and anti-empire alignments |
hal1ax
12.18.16 | wait my bad, saw gerrera wasn't a former imperial man. disregard that part |

12.18.16 | Lol tbh when I first saw Leia I kinda thought they just found an actress that uncannily resembled young Carrie fisher on top of having some magical makeup team and in the theater I kinda breathed 'holy shit..." And the girl I was with just gave me the biggest eye roll and was like are u fucking kidding me it's obviously cgi... And then I felt bad. |
VaxXi
12.18.16 | its ok hal, we can be derps together. |
wwf
12.18.16 | I'd say this movie (and TFA more or less) deserves to be raved about. Like, it's far from a perfect movie but it obviously tries hard to avoid the pitfalls previous installments fell into and it makes a few new mistakes along the way but overall it's great and has some genuinely beautiful moments that you don't see often in blockbusters. |
KenboSlice
12.18.16 | I think it's amazing that less people are complaining about a female protagonist this time around. When TFA came out a lot of people were butthurt about a female lead.
I never really understood shit like that. I don't care about a characters gender or race. I just want cool characters dammit. |
Gameofmetal
12.18.16 | "seemed like a completely mentally unhinged douchebag"
pretty sure that was intended, but i thought he was kinda underdeveloped for whittaker to take the role. he's basically just there to be a militant rebel leader and fill a plot hole
i think i still like tfa more even though this grew on me a lot with the second watch. the jeddha rebels gone taliban and street battle in particular were pretty cool (to highlight something other than the final act) |
Sinternet

Yeah but this is reminiscent of the release of TFA, what with the lowered standards because of Disney and blockbuster films combined with the novelty of a new Star War. Over it. |
Brabiz
12.18.16 | It felt like an episode of Rebels, which is a great thing. The story was engaging and interesting, and the way it played into A New Hope made the entire saga feel so much bigger and more urgent.
Truly a fantastic film. I loved it. One of my favorites in the entire franchise |

Valkoor952
12.18.16 | The problem with TFA's female protagonist wasn't that she was female, it's that she was perfect at everything and just too fucking OP.
Anyhow so I saw Rogue One. Jeez, where do I start ?
That Darth Vader scene was fucking epic. And I really liked those space/ground battles in the last 30 minutes. The ending with Jyn and Cassian was also really good and even though it didn't feel that emotional to me it was heart-warming nonetheless.
Unfortunately half of the movie was just not on the same level. There were a lot of cliches and unecessary side plots as someone acknowledged here. Also by the end of the movie I grew tired of the "inspirational monologues" about hope and what-not that were given to me every 20 minutes in this movie. Most of them were just cliche eye-roll moments. The effects were good, I really liked the aftermath of the Jedha city explosion. The Cgi of Tarkin was pretty visible and kind of got me out of the immersion tbh. Leia I thought was ok given the fact we saw her for about 5 seconds. Characters wise, I sort of liked Cassian and the droid K2 I think it was or KS idk. The others were just there for me. And I did not like the guy with the stick, can't remember his name, his line delivery was just bad. There were a lot of callbacks to Episode 4 and 3 that I really loved. Like seeing Bail Organa really made me happy for some reason. Jyn clashing with the guys that bothered Luke in the Mos Eisley bar was pretty cool though it was a bit too scripted if you know what I mean. I liked the admiral or the director, can't remember his name, with the white attire, he was quite interesting.
And yeah, I loved Vader. They should of just done a Force Unleashed-type Vader spin-off where he just exterminates rebels for 2 hours and it won't get boring. Or maybe it will idk, just wish they used him more.
So overall, I was entertained yeah and I guess I can call it a good movie, but the claims about it being up there with OG and even ESB are just ridicolous for me. |
VaxXi
12.18.16 | i cant remember the name of a single character in this movie, lol |

12.18.16 | honestly the cheesy lines fit pretty well in tonally with the movie that this movie is supposed to take place right before
a new hope is a ridiculous movie lmao |
bananatossing
12.18.16 | Darth Vader killed it lol
I liked it overall. In fact, I prefer it over TFA by a mileage. I think this film had a lot of fan service moments without being too obvious and cliched about it, like, you know, TFA...
It kinda didn't have sense to print young Carrie Fisher face into the actress when you are having a new actor to play Han Solo in the upcoming movie, though.
With that said, it is a relief to see a prequel actor during the Empire era of Star Wars other than Palpatine. And it makes me hopeful for an Obi Wan Kenobi spin off. I'm definitely down to that. |
AlexKzillion
12.18.16 | Lol I fell asleep at the beginning of the movie so I have literally no idea what this tentacle monster thing is that you guys are talking about.

so its more believable that a normal 100 pound human with combat training can fly across a chasm using only her arm muscles and spiderman that shit like she's playing on a jungle gym than it is that a character who is supremely naturally gifted in ~fucking magic~ can pull off some crazy shit? |

12.19.16 | now i'm not into extended universe or anything so forgive me if this comment has no base but isn't Scarif a fucking strange choice for a major imperial stronghold? like all sunny and beachy and palm trees and shit

VaxXi
12.19.16 | in the star wars movie universe, never once do we see the empire's preferred choice of planets though. they've occupied places like Tatoonie and Cloud City for the sake of finding/stopping the rebellion but any other time theyre all held up on their death stars/killer base. So whats to say they CANT have a tropical planet? |

i'm not saying they're not allowed to have a tropical planet, was just saying it was kinda strange |
VaxXi
12.19.16 | Kamino wasn't an empire owned planet, it was a cloning contract facility of sorts. Genosis was part of the Federation, which was destroyed by Palpetine and Anakin on Mustafar. Speaking of Mustafar, however, I'm pretty sure that was the planet Vader was on in the new movie so I guess theres that. And like I said, Bespin was occupied by the empire just so they could take out Han and Leia. |

It was infact (although I was a bit skeptical while watching the movie). It took place at Vader's "castle", which was originally designed during the Empire Strikes Back production stages if I remember correctly from the youtube vid I watched. |

He was still pretty badass though. |

KenboSlice
12.19.16 | Episode I had Duel of Fates. Which elevates that fight IMO. |

12.19.16 | Also, Vader was used perfectly. The brevity of his presence kept him from being a crutch for the film. His scene at the end was perfect. |

this would have been way better yeah. spare us having to endure literally every single one of them having a campy sentimental death and just have vader rape the shit out of all of them. would be so much more effective. |
SitarHero
12.19.16 | "Vader was used perfectly."
I completely disagree. One of the major challenges this movie had was re-establishing Vader as the boogeyman that Rebel mothers tell their children about at night, after the prequels destroyed that. Vader was that person for exactly one all-too-brief scene, the last one. Vader shouldn't have gotten ANY speaking lines. He should've just been referred to in the third person for the movie, and then showed up at the end to lay waste to the rebels like the fucking juggernaut that he's supposed to be. |
CaliggyJack
12.19.16 | I fucking loved the CGI Tarkin and Leia. They looked astoundingly real and organic albeit with some slight flaws. I'll never agree with this "uncanny valley" people speak about. I mean, I understand it, but I don't ever feel creeped out by it like other people. I hope Hollywood really pushes forward with this technology! It would be amazing to watch things like this, to fully recreate aspects of people that no longer exist. To pull back time like that. The whole theater was in awe when we saw Tarkin, it was amazing! |
Valkoor952
12.19.16 | Tarkin would've looked good if he didn't have that many damn scenes, but the more you see him onscreen the more you can't help but look at his face and think about the cgi onstead of focusing on the movie..
Also, I agree with Sitar. The last hour of the movie should've been Vader hunting down the rebel squad and slowly killing them one by one. They needed to make him more menacing, not that he wasn't already though. |
InFlamesWeThrash666
12.19.16 | I didn't even notice that they were CGI lol |
SitarHero
12.19.16 | "The last hour of the movie should've been Vader hunting down the rebel squad and slowly killing them one by one."
Or even them trying to buy time for Jyn and Cassian to transmit the blueprints and hold off Vader. It would've given them all a beautiful death while sidestepping the obvious loophole of Vader not being able use the force through a sliding door to Force-grab a floppy disk. |

12.19.16 | "The fight between Anakin and obi wan is TOO choreographed to the point of absurdity, and that's why everyone hates it. It looks like they're dancing instead of having an improvised fight.
It makes sense as they are two of the more powerful jedi and have also fought together for most of their lives. I thought it fit very well. |

12.19.16 | "would have been awesome if we never saw vader until you heard his breathing in the dark"
THIS! And then when his lightsaber lights up...THAT'S the entrance he deserved. Such a wasted opportunity by having his first scene be him floating in a bacta tank. And then the "don't choke on your ambition" line... Don't get me wrong, I love me some dad jokes, but it seemed rather out of character for Vader. |

oh fuck are we getting into this again? Star Wars doesn't take place inside a video game, and no action scene should be 45 minutes long unless it's in a Mad Max movie |

12.19.16 | 'Just watched Half in The Bag's review. I'm definitely skipping this one'
Really? I can find a hundred bad reviews and I'd still want to form my own opinion. I'm a sucker for Star Wars though, admittedly. |
Trebor.
12.19.16 | I want to form my own opinion too but I'm not going to drop 13.50 on a movie I have a high chance of not liking
From everything they said it's not my cup of tea, I care about characters and dialogue above everything, they said the movie sucks in that regard, and the only thing the movie does well is action which I couldn't care less about
Gonna drive out and see Manchester By The Sea instead |

12.19.16 | meh 5.5/10
no characters were interesting but the movie moved locations fast enough to keep from getting stale |

12.19.16 | 8.5/10 easily |

Cimnele
12.19.16 | i started conflating Star Wars and Marvel movies because it seems like the only thing I ever go out to see with family anymore
once you peel away the origin story stuff and the CGI battle there's about fifteen minutes of drama left and half of it is diluted by rubbish cute dialogue. o/
having not seen this film I rank it above the prequel trilogy but below Ant-Man |
KevinKC
12.19.16 | Ah ah ah, Ant-man that... episode of a TV serie off the 80s. |

LMAO.
Overall movies a 7/10 i guess? I enjoyed it and its fun, but I do have issues with it. |
Storm In A Teacup
12.19.16 | also, a 45 minute battle is pretty common in the star wars universe. some fights go on for hours. mara jade skywalker vs jacen solo. good god. |

12.20.16 | the amount of fan service in this film was insulting. wish i could've seen it in an empty theater.
