Star Wars: Rogue One

[dimejinky99]

(Can't wait for you guys to watch this again and slowly realise it's good but it's not great)

[dimejinky99]

Now that it's out people are cottoning on to the fact that rogue one has about five times as many self referential nods and winks and fan servicey Star Wars tropes than force awakens has and is still accused of.

Dr evezan and R2 and 3PO being the worst offenders

It doesn't stand on its own. It totally depends on the oxygen of a new hope to work.


I hope to god the references and connections stop here. If there's any of it in the Han movie behind absolute necessity it'll be eyeroll time.

[Let's all laugh at Rangers]

Doesn't work. Rogue One is set before A New Hope.

Ive watched this 4 or 5 times and like it more each time.

yeah but R2 and 3PO were around before a new hope. So were all the Rebels crew, etc.

[Rangi Guy]

Rogue One is easily a top two Star Wars movie

Ehh I still don't think it can hang with the OT.

why does Dime want to hate Rogue 1 so much?

why does Dime want to hate Rogue 1 so much?

Honestly?
I think this could have waited until the saga trilogy was done.
From everything I've read from the creators it's apparent that they literally made this film up as they went along. And then had to go back over it. And it shows. Edwards is overrated.

A ton of different reasons. I don't hate it. I just don't love it.

[dimejinky99]

And the score is a fuckin abortion

[LoathedVermin72]

lol oh dime

[dimejinky99]

And it had no crawl and it clearly and badly needed one.

[dimejinky99]

Plus I didn't like or care for anyone in it. The droid was funny. That's it.
Important part of any (Star Wars) films success is having likeable or relatable or even realistic characters regardless of their settings.
This has none.

its a great movie, D.

[LoathedVermin72]

lort help me

[dimejinky99]

Thanks LV for the reminder.

This film is to Star Wars as the hobbit movie was to lord of the rings.

Unnecessary but could have been amazing but ultimately adds nothing and is kind of embarrassing to the franchise.


I'll ask you again in a year are you still watching it and enjoying it.
Bets on that you won't.

[LoathedVermin72]

you like the force awakens

[dimejinky99]

you love the force awakens

Fixed.

[dimejinky99]

its a great movie, D.

And another thing!

They broke Lucas' main design rule. Audience should know exactly where they are by the design of the planet/landscape and not need to be told. It'll speak for itself.
Major screw up.

Hey let's take out the opening crawl to actually explain what's going on to the majority of people haven't read catalyst but let's add title cards for planets in case they get confused about where they are.


Fuck sake

Fuck George Lucas plan. Time to evolve. its a great story, with beautiful new planets and scenery and absolutely adds depth to the entire universe. Hell, you didnt stop gushing about the first 10 minutes of ANH now because of Rogue One
