Rogue One

Have a beer then watch it

 

The way Vader was portrayed in that scene is how he should have always been portrayed. Probably my favorite Star Wars scene to date.

 

Yup.

 

The older I get, the more I realize Lucas sucks. I appreciate him for bringing the franchise, but his insistence on the lessening of the darkness of the subject/kiddie stuff is just really bad. I mean, we're talking intergalactic good vs evil here. It's not supposed to be sunshine & ewoks.

You can't claim Vader is an evil badass & then neuter him & his powers. If he's an evil badass, let him show his evil badassery.

 

He had to make that toy money

 

I have some toys from the original Episode IV. Like late 1970s action figures. Think I have a Luke, Vader, R2D2, C3PO and some others. Wish I had never taken them out of the package & wish I had the Yoda action figure that's so rare (can't remember if it's the one with the cloth or vinyl cape) in its unopened package. Hear that one is worth some good money.

 

My kiddos play with vintage Star Wars toys like you are describing. The only ones they can't really hurt too bad are the die cast spaceships.

I got some comics around here somewhere too.

 

Went to watch it. Did ok but slept through the approach to the place with the plans and a decent portion of the fight there. It was an ok movie I think. Not sure if I really missed that much. I thought the way it ended was pretty neat.

 

Without the end and tie in, it was mediocre.

 

Ya, could have been an awesome movie if edited down to like an hour and a half.

 

The Vader scene at the end alone made the movie watching.

 

Add the space battle during the final act.

The stock footage from A New Hope is a nice touch

 

My biggest gripe with the movie was it didn't have the storyboard at the beginning.

 

they did that purposefully to separate it from the trilogies, but yeah, i think a star wars movie should have it

 

Also named the planets on screen, which isn't a Star Wars thing, trilogies wise.

 

I stood up in the middle of the movie and denounced that heresy.

 

Sheeit

It's fine because they snuck in Obi Wan

 

What does the addition of a storyboard do for the movie?

 

They did?

 

How did the "I've got the death sentence on blah blah systems" guy get off the planet before it kaboomed?
