I took my 10 yr old son to see this tonight and we both loved it, better than any of the other new stuff. Loads of spaceships flying about shooting each other, Darth Vader, amusing robots, loads of lazer guns going pew pew, man it was just like it was 40 years ago. Good fun all round and would recommend

Just to add...the mere presence of Mads Mikkelson and starting the film in Iceland probably had more than a little bit of influence into me liking it.

I hate how the internet has provided a platform for people who never leave their mothers' basements and really probably never should.

I thought the locations were superb and added to the great visual experience of the film while adhering to the original trilogy's feel.
I really can't comprehend how Lucas, the creator of such a wonderful universe, could have lost the plot so much with the prequels. How many real outdoor location scenes did he bother to do in the entire prequel three-film span? One? Two?
It's been extremely satisfying as well as a big relief that both TFA and RO have gone back to basics and captured the feel of the original trilogy. Rogue One arguably in even a better way than TFA.
Whereas I really enjoyed TFA I didn't have the urge to watch it a second time at the cinema I am having with with RO. I can't wait to watch it again, and I think I would put it in front of TFA in my favourite Star Wars list, which probably has now to read thus:
V
IV
RO
VI (would be third but for the fucking ewoks)
VII
III
II
I

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Where does Caravan of Courage (an Ewok adventure) feature on your list?

Where are people so down on the Ewoks? They're brilliant - the Ewok disco is one the best bits of Return of The Jedi.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
I think I've seen the first Rebels shorts and maybe a 1hour one....but not caught the series.
I'm a bit confused by the chronology of the clones wars. There was an animated version thena cgi type version wasn't there?
Ive purchaseda few of them but fuck knowswhat order to watch them in.

The clone wars varies massively in quality. Some of it is quite good some of it is dire, most if its just meh.
I got bored of rebels in season 2 just dull.

First three series of clone wars was pretty shite, I grant you. The last few series were good though. Ahsoka was a great character by the end.
I like Rebels a lot. Chopper is the best of all the droids.

Yeah Ahsoka goes from being really shit to the best character.
I believe there is a guide somewhere on the Internet that shows the best episodes to watch and in what order. I might give it a go one day.
I quite liked series one of rebels but apart from the longer opening episode series 2 bored me to tears. So I gave up on it. But yeah Chopper is OK, apparently he is in the background somewhere in rogue one.
In which Clone Wars series do they visit that crappy planet with three very powerful Force users and it's just a whole shitshow?

Tried two goes at watching this now. First time I got bored about half way through, this time I lasted longer, but I got bored with all the pew pew pew space fighting. Maybe I watched it too late at night. I'll try again in a couple of months. It looks very nice but it feels so. . Flat.
What's this rebels thing everyone is talking about? Was there a TV series spin off??

Oh, a cartoon.
Not that cartoons are bad, but a 3D CGI cartoon. No thanks.

None of us asked you to watch it, actually. Your "no thanks" is unnecessary.

Correct. I found out about it when I read the link and I thought "no thanks" that's not for me.
kabbes

Who are you thanking?
My request to you, had I been asked for an opinion, would have been for you to not watch it, on the grounds that you're a miserable bastard when it comes to watching things. So "no thanks" means that you reject my request and actually intend to watch it.

Easy tiger.
It's just a turn of phrase.
