Rogue One - A Star Wars spoiler thread

Watched about five minutes of Star Wars Rebels. It looks like they decided to save a few quid by hiring dogs instead of humans to do the animation.

Rebels is decent.

It is improved however if you believe that Chopper is secretly trying to kill them all at every opportunity, and clearly doesn't give a shit.

Oops, thought you meant Clone Wars. Rebels animation is fine, surely?
 
Bit too long for me, I finally got round to watching the whole thing about a month ago. The characters were way to bland for me (apart from mr robot), I can't even remember any of their names. Wasn't even that into the big CGI battle at the end that everyone raves about. One minute of Darth Vader being scary in a film was not enough to make it for me.
Also, I didn't like the way it joined instantly to a new hope. I'd always imagined that they got the plans and then at some later date when transporting them, they got double crossed or whatever and dobbed into the empire.

Anyway, it's my daughters (10) favorite of all the star wars films. Somehow this one really got her excited, she didn't really care for the Force Awakens. . . . and quite rightly hates the prequels.

I would be forcing the original trilogy on her again, but to be honest, now I'm not a little boy anymore I don't really care about them all that much.

Positively positive!
One of the characters was called Gin or something.
 
Why did forest just decide to die?
My daughter said he was an idiot, but then cried when the robot died.
What else was he supposed to do? He could barely walk, let alone sprint like the others did, and they only just made it. As he said, there wasn't much of him left.

By the way, his character is the first to properly cross over from the cartoon TV series to the films. Saw Garrera is from Star Wars: Clone Wars.

Is that true?
 
so after some distance I had a rewatch and liked it more. Still prefer TFA tho.

my complaint about lack of force, well how could I not see that a blind man taking out a TIE fighter with one shot from a hand weapon might, just might be at the very least force sensitive :facepalm:
 
"$200 million fan film to fix a plot hole."
cos thats what investors do... nah this'll be one main storyline film per year plus a 'star wars story' film alternating year on year forever. They paid enough for the franchise, now it will be milked dry. We already have the young han solo origin story in the works.
 
A lot of interesting discussion but does anyone know why so many characters were carrying over sized novelty pens?
:-/
 
Code cylinders, also referred to as coded rank cylinders and coded key cylinders, were security devices in the shape of short cylinders that were used by the Galactic Empire and, decades later, by the First Order. They contained coded information about their bearers and granted them access to secure areas.

:p

On top of what LL said, I'd note that they can't be pens as there is famously no paper in the Star Wars universe.
 
There are books in the episode viii trailer.
That's an outrage!

The lack of paper is long-since fanon

The first player's handbook even specified that there is no paper in the Star Wars universe, although according to that Star Wars Wikia page this had been relaxed to "rarely" for the second handbook.
 
Did they just stick Dart Maul back together after he was chopped in half?

at one point he was walking around on robot crablegs. I must have missed how he got real legs back

See? Everything but the films is crap. Non-film stuff even positively undermines things that happen in the films.

Darth Maul dead? Oh, no, survived with robot legs.

Boba Fett dead? No, crawled out.

Emperor dead (thus bringing the original trilogy to a triumphant close)? Oh no, projected his consciousness into a fucking clone.
 
I do agree that I'm not the most fond of the idea of bringing Darth Maul back. On the other hand, he was one of the best Star Wars characters and had been criminally underused by Lucas. Bringing him back allowed for some great stories in Clone Wars and Rebels.
 
Maul was one of the better things in the prequels, its true. Rebels didn't over-use him either, and it was able to show us more about holocrons/force stuff/sith/jedi etc. The best bits after the dogfights and swordfights

you know now disney have the power they will be milking every drop. Thrawn is canon because rebels is canon. There will even be a Thrawn origin story. You know this to be true
