This actually looks better than I had expected. Will still be odd to see a Star Wars movie without the original characters, but I'm open to it.
Also, the actress who's playing Mon Mothma is eerily on point to the original actress.

ANOTHER MOVIE WITH A FEMALE LEAD OH NO WutFace
i would also cast a female lead if that will generate more revenue for the publicly traded company, whos primary legal obligation is to satisfy the stockholders.
of course that is what the computers crunching out the data and patterns being fed into it would say too.
it's the obvious strategy until that pattern is normalized, then they have to move onto the next thing.
i predict it will be asian actors. or just plain old non-white actors. probably female as well. that way it captures more female audience, and the male audience will always fantasize about women so it's okay.
it's all about the money.
why cast a male actor, when you can make more casting a female? it's only the logical thing to do.
my only complaint is it's the same fucking type of character.
some person that's "been on their own, since forever" and rebellious and all that. plus the fact that it's a female kinda makes it even more obvious that they're milking some kinda social justice equality demand.
it will be very obvious 20 years from now when critics look back and review movies of this age... actually it's very obvious already.
but you can't deny the fact that it boils down to money. it's purely a strategic move. otherwise they woulda did it 30 years ago.
don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a female lead. but it's blatantly obvious that a lot of production companies and gaming companies are trying to be "inclusive" of everyone, TRYING to appear to take a liberal stance on equality and all that stuff...
but it's obvious that that's just a facade, it just boils down to "inclusive" meaning "more people watching/buying movies/games" meaning more money.
nothing wrong with trying to make more money by expanding your audience. but it's definitely not because of equality or whatever. they definitely wouldn't do it if it mean making less money.

Kind of weird to see a Star Wars movie that does not revolve around the Jedi.
what's the chances of them letting donnie do fight choreography and really letting him showcase all his fighting styles like in flash point?

This was a great action movie set in Star Wars timeline! Everything seemed to tie in well with A New Hope. The cameos were done well, without them feeling forced or cheesy. They completely CGI'd Peter Cushing as Governor Tarkin and it looked fantastic, considering the guy has been dead for 20+ years now.
K-2SO and Chirrut Imwe were awesome characters

Consider this Episode 3.5 and by the end of Rogue One it's 3.9 (A New Hope picks up directly after the end of Rogue One)
I would pay to just watch the final like 5 minutes of the film all over again. Film started off a bit slow, but it really picked up and the space battles rivaled the ones from the original trilogy.

12-19-2016, 01:03 PM
Saw MOST of it last night... right up until the fire alarm went off with about 20 minutes left :facepalm: Worst part was, there seemed to be no "security or safety procedures" at all: the ugly lights all came on, but the movie kept running. We sat there a good five minutes still watching, until one guy finally went out to find out what was up... then came back and waved at his buddy to leave with him. A few more got up after that, but it was a couple more minutes before another customer started waving for everyone to leave. Once the stream of people were holding the door open, we could hear the alarm chirp-chirp-chirp from out in the hall... but since it was in the middle of the final battle, one could have been forgiven for thinking the noise was part of the movie.
Finally as we were filing into the tunnel, we saw two little staff girls standing there to the side, talking amongst themselves and on their headsets, but never talking to us; the movie was still playing as we left, and some people were still in their seats. We were heading out of the hallway into the back corridors and realized that our theater's other fire exit was RIGHT THERE, and if someone had come to the front to direct us that way, we would have all been out a lot sooner.
Anyway, we went to Timmies for a while, then headed back to see what was up... they were still open and people were going into the later movies. They refunded our tickets and gave us extra passes as well, though I did manage to bash my elbow outside because the mall's shitty snow clearing made things super slippery... :rukidding:
As for the movie.... biggest complaint for me: the music kept throwing me off - it would start to sound like the original score, a couple of the same bars, then go sideways from there. Kinda grated on me and made if feel more like someone was trying to do a Star Wars ripoff. I did notice the themes got more and more like the "original" as the film progressed. I can't imagine that's accidental.
K-2SO was fantastic. Felt like kind of a blending of C-3PO with Marvin the Paranoid Android's attitude, and R2-D2's balls (because let's face it, Artoo was a gutsy little fucker who took no shit from anyone).
The space battles were incredible, and really invoked the wonder of the originals. With the newer movies (and indeed, newer combat scenes in general), the battles have become faster and more cluttered, and the action is filmed in way too close, with scenes being cut together too quickly, all which makes it hard to keep track of the action. In R1, they pulled it back, took longer shots of individual dogfights, made the battles seem big and expansive, rather than shoving you in the middle of a small part of it. Very nice.
The cameos, as Ch28 noted, were well-placed and didn't detract at all, as were the multiple references to the original universe (Sen. Organa mentions Capt. Antilles, for example). Cutting in some old footage or familiar characters was also well done, without being OVER-done.
Lack of the classic opening crawl was kinda weird and disappointing. That and the accompanying fanfare are THE defining characteristic of Star Wars movies. I can see why they probably did it - this is "a Star Wars story", not centering on the usual main characters or family, and they no doubt wanted to avoid the fanwanking that could be generated by trying to shoehorn something different into the timeline... but dammit, it just didn't set the feel it could have right off the top.
The Tarkin CGI was... odd. Sometimes looked good, sometimes looked like a video game (or a video game trailer). With the budgets in play here, one would think they could have done better, or had someone a little more detail-oriented keeping tabs on the FX. Based on the pic of Leia above (we bailed before it got to that scene), I'd say that had the same problem - they maybe needed less light or more shadow to add some more texture or depth to the skin.
James Earl Jones doesn't quite have the same depth to his voice anymore that made Darth Vader just sound just plain sinister, but I suppose it was better than if they'd got someone else to TRY to do it (I can't watch any Looney Tunes without Mel Blanc, it just ain't right). Whoever they have playing him under the costume (IMDB lists two different people) doesn't have David Prowse's imposing figure, and for me, seemed to have a little too much swagger. Overall though, great to see the Sith Lord again.
Oh... and the whole archive thing, manually driving the thing to pluck out the "tape"... what the fuck. WHAT. IN. THE. FUCK. I know it's "a long time ago" but what is this, 1956?
EDIT: Shit, somehow a whole paragraph vanished.
I found the banter in this a lot more organic and believable than in other recent movies, especially TFA. Nobody will likely ever match the chemistry we got from the Luke/Leia/Han trio (sure their acting was stilted at times, but how they played off each other more than made up for it and really made us care about them), but this was certainly a lot more endearing than we've been given lately (don't even get me started on Nat and Hayden... blech).

Agree on this, but if the characters suck, it kinda takes me out of the movie. They don't, so it makes it more watchable. And re-watchable, moreso than TFA.

It's not even that. I mean, the Star Wars theme is pretty much the most iconic score in movie history; they could have programmed a computer to just use the original music and changed it up slightly here and there. It's not even so much that it's different, but that it abruptly switches back and forth between being the same and being different.

12-20-2016, 10:24 PM
I saw it tonight, definitely better than The Force Awakens (for me that's not hard to do though) but not quite as amazing as I was hoping. As others said, the CGI for Tarkin was a bit off (I think they made his face move more than it should have, I assume to try and make it look more real, but it just made it look more fake). Everyone seems a lot more familiar with the Force than they are in the later films as well.
The flashbacks were new but didn't seem to out of place, I assume they were to try to make you connect more with Jin but that's hard to do when you know from the get-go she isn't in the following films. The Empire having control panels in random places was a bit odd (lets place the switch in the middle of a beach, and the reset button on some overhanging ledge for no reason), as well as the way the "tapes" were accessed. You have to manually control the retrieval of the tape, that's on an extremely long column that you can only see a short section of? What the hell do they do if it's on the other side of the column 10 stories down?
I also can't decide if the ending was good or whether it was the result of someone remembering at the last second how Episode IV starts. Bearing in mind this whole movie sort of falls apart just from the first words Vader says in Ep 4.
Where are those transmissions you intercepted?
Except in this, they didn't "intercept" anything, the plans were sent directly to them.
Onto the stuff I did like, I loved how they tied in small things from the original films without making it really obvious and forced. Things like the beeps from the little Empire droid that was on the Death Star in 4, the appearance of Mon Mothma, the mention of Wedge, those glass panels with the lit up lines (seriously wtf are those things for?), the guy with the scanner on Yavin.
The combat sequences were a lot easier to follow, and the mix of familiar ships with new ones made it a lot smoother (and the designs actually seem similar in style, not like the sudden difference in TFA). The funny parts were actually funny and not forced, they did that fairly well in TFA as well but ep 2 and 3 were pretty cringey so it was nice to see. The characters accents actually matched them as well, people who grew up barely scraping by on a backwater planet speaking with a crisp accent in TFA really put me off.
All in all, nothing that blew me away but most likely something I'll add into a Star Wars marathon (The Force Awakens sure as hell won't be).

Interesting fact: Initially, Jyn and a few others weren't supposed to die. The director Gareth Edwards, thought that disney wasn't going to allow him to kill off the characters. The initial script had them survive but later was given the green light by disney to kill them all off.

Spoiler or not, I would not be surprised either way whether the Rogue One team survives or not. I think the story can easily be shaped either way, and the only definitive thing everybody knows is that their mission was a success in the sense that the stole the Death Star plans, and successfully delivered it to the Rebel Alliance.
Sigh... how long did it take the Force Awakens to come out on DVD / Blu Ray?

COMPLETELY agree. I give this movie a 7/10, the first 2 acts were boring as hell, I found myself moving around in my seat.
To be honest, I found Guardians of the Galaxy far better than this one.
Star Wars fans are die-hard I feel they will think a mediocre film is a 9/10 simply for the nostalgia and fandom.
Maybe I'm just not a fan of G-rated films, who knows. I just felt this film followed the same kind of story arc every Star Wars film seems to follows.
1. Crisis Occurs
2. Good guys seemly overwhelmed and have no chance in hell winning
3. The unthinkable occurs and the good guys overcome the unsurmountable odds
4 End

Finally saw it tonight, I'd agree with a minority here that it was average. 7/10
The final act is great, no complaints. However the first two thirds of the film felt quite dull, made worse by some unmemorable characters. Baze Malbus: why should anyone care about him? Cassian Andor is the second major protagonist in this film and he's easily the most forgettable.
After reading here about the last minute composer situation, it all makes sense. The score always felt jarring in an unintended way. Recent blockbuster films have come under some criticism for using temp music, which is a score taken from other movies that's matched to each scene during editing. This is given to the composer as a guide for the new music he will create to replace the temp music. Rogue One felt like a similar case, where the music sounds like it was trying to take old Star Wars themes and alter them heavily. It didn't work out to an enjoyable soundtrack.
Last nitpick is that 3D screenings need to disappear. The picture gets too dark and fast action becomes blurred. Suicide Squad was even worse with these 3D problems.

I think as a sci fi action movie, compared to the other stuff that is getting released, it's probably a 7/10 or 8/10 movie. As a Star Wars Movie, it's more like a 5 or 6. Maybe it should get minus 2 points for the stupid CG humans. I don't know why these movie makers keep trying! It doesn't work. Ever.
It just doesn't have much wow factor, except for the final scene. There's a bit of callbacks and stuff like that, but overall it was only "Good"
whitev70r
12-26-2016, 07:11 PM
It was good overall, just went to see it tonight. Give it an 8/10.
I liked:
1. How all the major characters died ... I mean not in a sadistic way. Story of the many nameless rebels who died trying to get the plans of the Death Star to the Alliance. True in many real life movements.
2. How the Rebel Alliance was really diverse and held together very loosely. Alliance considered Saw Gerrera as extreme. Once again, reflects reality, any protest or rebellion has its outliars that think the mainstream protest/resistance is not radical enough.
3. Chirrut Imwe's - martial artist in the tradition of Jedi's lightsabre skills and him being blind as a way to 'see' (Jedi's often close their eyes in crucial moments).
4. Multiculturalism of all major stars.
I didn't like:
1. How they made Donnie Shell's character dorky with his constant quoting of 'I am one of the force and the force is with me.' WTF was that?
2. Rehash of certain themes, always a group on the ground that has to deactivate a shield so something can happen. And the master switch ... WTH was that? You mean in this sci fi world, you still turn things on and off by a big lever like that???
3. Let's put another child on a remote planet (without parents) and have her grow up to be part of the resistance.
There are probably others.
They didn't make Donnie Yen's character "dorky" when they had him say "I am one with the force, and the force is with me"
He's a spiritual warrior-monk that was part of a group of people tasked with protecting the temple on Jedha

Last nitpick is that 3D screenings need to disappear. The picture gets too dark and fast action becomes blurred. Suicide Squad was even worse with these 3D problems.
Yeah after watching Force Awakens I made sure I chose a non-3D screening. I hate 3D.

Came across that way to me, it got tiresome after a while. Many non-Jedis respect the force but they don't make it into a mantra ad nauseum.

I honestly think they downplay the force when used against non force users.
This is why I loved the Vader scene. I mean in reality he could literally rip people in half but this was pretty close to being no holds barred. It really showed how futile it is to try an attack him (or any force user for that matter)
I had a tough time staying awake for a portion of the movie though. Just couldn't keep my interest during the middle.

I felt this somewhat too. They made him almost sound like a senile jedi wanna be reject. Though, he clearly does possess some Force powers

If one wants to start watching Star Wars, where should they start off?

My thoughts about one of the characters:
The K-2S0 Imperial Droid played a vital role in ensuring that the map of the Death Star's vulnerabilities got sent through the shield to the rebel alliance. That Droid had some funny lines too. LUL

What do you think is the actual time between end of Rogue One and Episode IV, A New Hope? Is it hours, days, weeks, or months?

Absolutely had some of the best lines in the movie. Had me laughing several times.

You can actually watch rogue one first. Then 4,5,2,3,6,7
After you see it like that then the time line goes, 1,2,clone wars movie and tv series, 3, rebels tv series, rogue one, 4,5,6,7

i haven't watched a new hope in awhile... was princess leia's transport in hyperspace before darth vader's ship disabled it? or was it already orbiting tatooine at that point?

The movie starts with Leia's ship out of hyperspace and cruising up to Tatooine. Why, I'm not too sure.
Re-reading the opening crawl I retract my previous comment about R1 not lining up with how they got the plans according to ANH. Which just makes ANH contradictory to itself.
