Star Wars Rouge One

I've been away from here for the most part for the holidays and not sure if this has been discussed.

HOLY ****!






That Vader scene at the end was one of the few times over ever wanted to yell out loud in a theater.


They killed EVERYONE!

I enjoyed it.
The Vader scene at the end may have made up for any shortcomings the film may have had.

There was a thread about it last week.

My favorite part of the movie is that it was a tragedy in the traditional sense. Everyone was supposed to die even if you wanted them to survive. I just hope they don't try to give these characters epic backstories in the future. I like them being run of the mill citizens of the empire/rebellion.

Loved it

Only two minor complaints:

Some of the score was disappointing - seems they went out of their way to NOT use some of the original score.

They apparently went back and reshot some of the movie so that scenes that were in the trailers weren't in the movie. First time I saw the movie, those discrepancies were a little jarring because I expected other things to happen that didn't happen.

And I wish that Vader scene at the end had gone on for a little longer. It was amazing.

I enjoyed it, though it's not as much "fun" as Ep VII...

I loved the tone of the movie.. The Empire is really, really bad. People's lives suck and there is oppression everywhere. It made the Rebellion's cause seem real in a way it never has.

I've read strong speculation that Cassian and Jyn were supposed to make it off the planet and back up to the ship where Vader ultimately kills them both on screen after they deliver the plans. Like... it was going to be Cassian that Vader slammed against the ceiling before slicing him while Jyn stuck her hand through the door with the plans before Vader stabbed her in the back.

That was all probably a little too un-Disney...

I tend to believe it because early on you could see shots of Jyn running on the beach with the plans hooked to her belt. Obviously the early cuts had her surviving at least past the tower.

I'll bet the reshoots were all about having her transmit from the dish on the citadel tower and the beach/death scene with the two of them.

I completely didn't need the two dudes from the Cantina scene in Ep IV showing up in Jedha. And really.. those guys must get around since later in the day everybody in that city was killed and they're some how sitting in Mos Eisley.

Also.. 3PO and R2 showing up for a split second on Yavin 4.. why? Totally distracting. And just a couple of hours later I suppose they're on Leia's ship... Unnecessary fan service.

Still... 8/10.. would watch again.

I guess I'm in the minority of Star Wars fans who didn't like Rogue One all that much. I can't believe there's a debate over whether it's better than TFA. My problem with interquels is that nothing all that significant happens. I thought that the first 90 minutes of the movie dragged really bad. The last 30 minutes were pretty good. Highlights were an impeccable CGI Tarkin (my wife didn't even notice he was CGI), Darth Vader badassery, and the reprogrammed Imperial droid. All in all, it wasn't a bad way to kill 2 hours on a Sunday. 6/10.

 

[MaroonNation]

It was ok. If they do another Star Wars "Story" I want it to be about the life of a AT-AT pilot. That would be some good **** there. Just walking around stomping on ****.

ETA: I've always Been curious how those things arrived on Hoth in Ep V. Must be a hell of a transporter.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

The movie reminded me of what Krusty the Klown did to Poochie at the end of the Itchy and Scratchy Show.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

The non John Williams score was my only real complaint.

 

[Jgbishop]

The Darth Vader scene was awesome in that it was he first time I've really felt he was more evil than just a bad guy. Watching the originals growing up, he was just the bad guy to me other than killing Obi Wan.

 

[benatmsu]

All in all I liked it...

... One thing that kept sticking out to me while watching the movie was the use of current JEJ's voice for Vader.
It made Darth Vader sound really old. I like that he was still involved, though, so I can look past it.

I've been away from here for the most part for the holidays and not sure if this has been discussed.

The Rebel's

blasters looked too much like M4s, the character development was waaaay weak, the transporters were too much like ospreys on the inside, the logistics were way off on the inbound/outbound flights, blind people can't fight like that, ugh did I say character development?****

Not enough Hayden. Not enough sand.

Not enough Hayden. Not enough sand.

Any Hayden is too much Hayden.

I guess I have never been too much in the whole Star Wars thing, but I did go see Rogue 1, and did not care for it.
