Good work Kanda , next month too probsbly be able to watch it in a bar out there

 

[DJWrongspeed]

This has a glowing review from the New Statesman

Think I'll check it this w/e as an Xmas present shopping distraction.

 

[ruffneck23]

My cousin who is the biggest 44 year old SW fan i know has just got back and texted me saying its ' Absolutely amazing '

Going to see it tomorrow at screen in oxted, so I can have a coffee out of proper china whilst I watch

 

[ruffneck23]

although I'm going on Sunday I'm very tempted to try and get to see it before then , which maybe hard as its only showing at one place on the island with only 2 showings a day

The entire script was on the internet months ago wasn't it?

 

[ruffneck23]

not that ive heard of but i wouldnt want to read the script anyways

 

[Indeliblelink]

Saw it last night and thought it was great, not without it's faults but I think it's the best Star Wars film since the original trilogy. I want to go see it again already.

 

[Reiabuzz]

Oh, just checked, it was actually the script for the next proper one in the series, not this one. Might not be real anyway.

That reminds me, The mrs asked me to get her a Joy Division Oven Glove for xmas

 

[Kesher]

Not sure whether to see it in 3D or 2D

 

[Spod]

First half was boring but the end was good. Nice joining up of the stories and some great action from a certain baddie

 

[Nanker Phelge]

The first 30 mins was a mess. Rushed, poorly edited, as if they were trying to get an hour of back story squeezed in to half the time.

Once the pace slowed a bit ot began to be more enjoyable.

 

[D'wards]

I thought it was great, but i think i was buoyed by a fantastic ending. I almost welled up a bit the ending was so good.

However, a young friend of mine (not in the Dave Nice way) who is not really invested so much in ep4-6 from childhood merely thought it was good, not great, and preferred ep7

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I place it 4th in The Star Wars Canon

Empire
New Hope
Force Awakens
Rogue One

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Jedi
Sith
Clones
Menace

I rate Star Wars: Rebels higher than the prequels

Ezra is a massive prick but you've got a sassy twi'lek ship pilot, a blind jedi fugitive, a mandalorian crewmember and some big lump from an oppresed species that I can't remember.

its getting good now as well, the darksaber is in it and Darth Maul.

Fuckit I'll rate computer game Star Wars: Knights of The Old Rebuplic over the prequels

Kyle Katarn's arc in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series was more convincing than the prequels handling of Vader

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Tried to watch this twice now. I just can't make it to the end. It just goes on and on and is rather bland.

To be fair, that isn't saying much! I'm not a huge fan of 'Rebels' - the sooner it ends the better.

Have you seen this? Stick it on in a VR headset and you're transported into the cockpit of an X-Wing Fighter, complete with battles and flying past Star Destroyers and the Death Star! Only lasts a couple of minutes, but it's very cool!
