I hope it is so good that I turn into dime and buy every director's cut, extended cut, special edition, limited edition that comes out.
This is going to be the movie that finally turns me into an actual Star Wars nerd. It's going to be so breathtaking and amazing that I won't be able to watch any other Star Wars film without comparing them to this one. And I'll buy all the books and the comics and I'll buy a house just to have a Star Was: Rogue One themed room.

We will look back on this film as the one and only true Star Wars film. Luke who? Han what? Chewie, fuck you!

Im just very curious how it ends. Since we know what ultimately happens via A New Hope....Very curious if this will be a blood bath or a celebratory conclusion.

What was the line in ANH? "A lot of people lost their lives for this?"? or something, right?

I think it would be epic if they all go out in a blaze of glory, sacrificing it all for the cause. But I'm afraid Disney won't let it happen like that...

The trailer telegraphed a couple characters dying. That one guy had that "I'm gonna die time to run into the field in slow motion firing my blaster with sad music why I fall in a rain of lazer fire" look. That look.

I saw that too. An almost defeated look but he knew he had to do what he was about to do.

The trailer has a few moments where you think, "This is the scene right before this person kicks it." so I'm looking at it as ending on a very down note as far as survivors go.

You think they will work in the use of Rogue Squadron as a way of remembering these folks?

Hopefully that doesn't drag the spectacular visuals down. Or that they just got it right. Say what you want about JJ Abrams, but he is great at casting and eliciting strong performances from his actors.
What movies have you seen of his, stip?
just godzilla, I think. But the characters in that were pretty weak, and none of the ones in Rogue One look like much based on what we've seen so far. It's just that everything surrounding them looks incredible.

But that's probably why an actors director/writer were brought in for reshoots. Let someone else do the character stuff and leave him with what he's best at.

Of course, the characters could be great too, we'll see.
