Not paying for a spinoff

>>715792583
Pretty gud
5/7

>>715792679
But damn that Vader scene

>>715792772
yea your right 10/10 would stream the bootleg and skip to the end again

Movie was shit only Vader was good.
But he was there for only 10 secs.
I wanted a light saber battle not a CGI battle

random plot
no twists
what the fuck plot lines just left hanging
a bit canned
good action but not quite enuf
stilll democrat scifi with a woman inspiring men LOLZ total rubbish
4th after orig 3
no real magic between characters
wakky moral narrative of like alky redemption criminal redemption zz boreing

>>715792583
The only good and badass scene in the movie was when Vader absolutely massacres those rebel scum without mercy.
The rest was hurr durr were feminism girl power fighting the evil whites ya'll with diversity and inclusion with bonus niggers every 5 seconds in scene involving the rebels!

The only badass character other than Vader was the blind Asian guy

True !

>>715792583
Space isis!

7/10

Better than last movie

Too many people tossing around ideas and phrases about "the force" considering most don't even think it exists and there's been no jedi for a generation

Stupid to have Leia's ship leaving the scene of the last battle, knowing that a few minutes later Vader's ship is going to catch up with her and she's going to be like "uhh we're on a diplomatic mission" because that's believable seeing as you were just witnessed leaving a shitstorm

I liked it being a bit darker and grittier, and I liked stormtroopers doing smart things for once, like tossing grenades into ships

>>715792772
Agreed. Need to see that shit again. I thought they fucked up lightsabers forever after that pathetic shit they tried in episode VII

better than TFA

bit slow up until the final act, but the final space battle, ground battle and vader scene was so fucking good. way better than an elderly harrison ford running around pretending to know whats going on.

and everyone dieing was great. was expecting the main 2 to get saved at the last minute, but no, the writers stuck to their guns and it made it worth it.

8/10 will pirate many times

>>715792583
Thought it needed more vader, if they had come across him and all died to him it would've been great

>>715793949
Agreed.

I went in hoping that they would all meet their deaths at the hand of him, but at least his scene was fucking dope.

Also his outfit looked cheap, so I guess that all the budget went into CGI Tarkin as opposed to the costume of the most iconic villain in fucking anything.

Anyone have that hallway scene?

"This is gold leader, beginning our attack run."

Seeing these guys in a film again was like a nuclear bomb of nostalgia, it was fantastic. Seeing Gold squadron have a moment of glory was so cathartic after 30 years.

Better than TFA imo, they really captured the star wars world so much, despite a few egregiously bad scenes (rape monster, monk v 20 stormtrooeprs, vaders pun) it was gud boys.

>>715793456
Na that was fanboy pandering bullshit, all the brown people were fine, they weren't niggers just brown.

>>715794292

agreed

i was not expecting these guys to show up at all, but actually smiled when they did. the nods to the originals in this felt way more natural than in TFA. mostly down to the directing style I guess

>>715794580
When I saw the x-wings taking off from Yavin (beautifuly rendered) I was just hoping so hard that they would return, i was absolutely beaming when they did.

The nods were great, and much more natural since it is in the right time of the SW universe.

Although I am a harsh critic and have to say, did anyone else notice the blue milk in the first scene, like center frame, in focus. Really odd.

Loved Mads Mikkelsen.
Asian guy was cool, sad they killed a decent character like him.
Racial diversity, yay! Hey I'm totally okay with it considering the rebellion attracted people from all corners of the galaxy...

Thinking about it, the fucking Bothan Spies deserve a story too! Justice!

>>715794833
My friend made a point that the bothans must have lost most of their race for mon mothma to mention it in the briefing considering how many rebels died for the plans.

>>715794833
I care more for the many Bothan spies over most characters in RO, except the robot and Donnie Yen.

I actually grew to really like the robot (not enough to learn his name), I hate that they made him a god with that blaster, but he was pretty good in the scenes he was present for, and his dialogue was probably the best in the movie.

>>715793831

"uhh we're on a diplomatic mission" because that's believable seeing as you were just witnessed leaving a shitstorm

Didn't even think of that. How retarded.

As a horribly biased vader fan and hater of anything rebel alliance-ous I must say the movie was atleast better than the force awakens, which no doubt was ruined by shitty characters, bad concepts, and of course, disney. This movie tried to return to the roots of what the first movies were about. It wasn't the best, but it was decent, to me anyway.

Movie featured quite interesting characters, where my favorite probably was the robot, who shared a gimli-esque comparison in the fact that he was a comedic relief, but he too was quite important and a wellwritten character (like gimli was in lord of the rings). The other characters were there, but didn't take up much space and to me, that was fine. They were different, yet clearly had the ambience of star wars characters, to me anyway.

Shat my pants at the introduction of vader, only to realize that they tried too hard to pay respects to his legacy. He was too bulky in the first scene, and had literally no power in his dialogue. He felt more like an angsty teenager in his moves. That was until the last scene of course, where he showed some old school vader powers and butchered motherfuckers left and right. Strange red eyes (that were over-done, yes, I know original vader had a red visor tint, but not this much). He felt almost CGI in the first scene he was introduced in. Otherwise, great!

Plot was pretty good? I mean, I liked that they all died. You're not a hero unless you die in my book, and these motherfuckers did what they had to do. To me, this was a decent movie. It wasn't horrible like The Force Awakens. I think it makes a nice addition to the wonderful star wars movies we already have.

>>715794292

Vader's pun Jesus Christ.

It would have been good if he'd just said "Do not choke on your ambition" in his usual I don't give a shit if you live way but he sounded too sassy. Like if he had eyebrows/ you could see them one of them would have been raised.

PLUS! The fucking deathtroopers or whatever they were named. Utterly majestic. Not only were they badass in design and execution, they were unique in the sense of their badass radio voices. You couldn't hear shit, you just sorta felt that they were these programmed destroyers, much like the guardsmen in half life 2 that hunted you. Loved them.

>>715795266
It was cringeworthy, and he didn't even say anything particularyh bad to him, maybe if he had protested Tarkins appointment and got angry then vader put him in his place.

That said there was a lot more hits than misses in this film.

that was her lying to the face of vader, obviously? are u daft lol why is it that people cant understand basic plots

>>715795266
They were trying to bridge episode 3 Vader to the OT. Thats what I thought about it anyway.

>>715795295

They still didn't hit shit. Couldn't even kill Jyn or that other retard as they were hanging from the tower completely still.

>>715793323
>no twists

You spoiled fuck that was the best thing - finally a movie without the clichee twists and the neverending love storys

>>715795463
they threw in a grenade into a main characters face and killed him, thats more than any other clone had done man, gotta take that into perspective

There was literally none of that you faggot. She's nothing like daisy Ridley wad in TFA, Mary sues don't die at the end. Theres no message or propaganda, you're just a sad lonely faggot that is afraid of minorities or anything that is different from you and angry that girls won't talk to you, or even look at you

>>715795463
plus, it was obvious that even if they weren't superduper cool, the movie made them badass by default. for instance, black has always been the colour of badass evilry in the star wars movies, the fact that they were black instead of white proves their superiority. two, they were lesser in number, and were only seen in moments that were important. and three, the fact that they picked up a small clonetrooper doll. its all maybe metaphorical and a little subtle, but i think they showed enough good bits to make, at least me, understand that they were cooler than the average clone trooper

>>715794730

Yes, that's from the original trilogy. Good Easter egg

>>715795745
that was a stormtrooper doll.

>>715795748
Yes I know of blue milk, Luke drinks it on the farm, it wasn't a easter egg though it was center of frame the only thing in focus, it was too much.

>>715795815
??? u understand what i mean

>>715795839

ahhh misunderstood your original comment. Ha yeah I think they were kinda hitting the audience over the head with it... Like, SEE?? WINK WINK

>>715795945
that and doctor evazan and ponda baba where the onyl references i felt where a bit forced, the rest of it was natural and made sense imo.

>>715795398
A lie is most believable when it has some plausibility as truth

Making Leia's ship escape from the final battle scene is retarded; the plans should have been transmitted to her and tracked down.

Not as distasteful and disgusting as shitheads like you. I bet you never say or act out any of this in public. You hide behind a keyboard and screen and post your little racist drivel and then go pretend to be a normie so as to avoid getting the shit kicked out of you. I take solace in the fact that karma will come and fuck you someday. I doubt you'll amount to anything useful anyway.

Faggot.

>>715796748

Yeah man because not being a racist POS means I like letting other dudes fuck my girl and that I'm a cuck. I can't believe people are dense enough to actually believe that shit and I know you're actually serious too. You actually think not being a shithead towards other people means you're a cuck. I'm having a laugh over here. I'm gonna go back to my decent job now and hang out with my friends tonight before I fuck my wife. Have fun with your... Whatever the fuck loser shit you do. I'd be angry too if everyone else was happy and getting laid besides me.

anyone else notice the storm trooper sitting dead on a couch in one of the fight scenes in the city

>>715796951

Haha glad I wasn't the only one!

>>715795444
But that basically was OT Vader, about an hour after that in their time he's all 'commander tear this ship apart until you find' etc.

Also, the hallway scene was great to watch but its too incongruous with the Vader at the start of A New Hope. That movie starts with him walking past countless dead stormtroopers and we're supposed to believe that he had god mode turned on minutes earlier. Bad screenplay, bad dialogue, unlikable characters. I cared more about Rey/Finn/Poe after about 10 minutes of Episode 7 than I did about the whole cast of Rogue One. Their death scenes seemed more like writers ticking them off than actual well written, dramatic cinema.

Too much fan service too, Force Awakens did that so much better. Rogue One had too much blatant stuff; ass face from the cantina, the fucking blue milk (isn't that bantha milk, why the hell is it there?) and Felicity Jones's farm looking so much like the homestead from A New Hope.

And Vader's pun, jesus christ.

It had good moments, but it was not a good film. Not even close.

>>715796945
Bragging about wife sex is shit-tier beta bullshit.

First time I passed out in cinema. I slept through first half of movie other half was somewhat interesting. Still Vader scene made me happy

The CGI Admiral Tarkin was off putting and detracted from the story

Its ironic that so many people in this thread bitch about the newer movies, yes some of it is warranted, but to say this movie was boring just proves that you are the exact audience they are catering to.

>>715797638

I pointed out several things which are in my opinion flaws in the film. Isn't that the point of this thread, discussing whether we liked/disliked Rogue One? Not exactly bait.

>>715792583
Started shitty, music wasn't anything with starwars and didn't have the right feeling up until the middle when it progressed into being pretty fucking good imo, never thought Disney would save it but they did. Many questions are finally answered

FREE SHIT!

just saw Rogue One. I liked it. Being 40, I was raised on the original trilogy and grossly disappointed by the prequels. 7 was a return to form but Rogue One took all the things we love from the original and ran with it.

Having watched the originals so many times it makes sense that I would write my own science fiction story. Ittook me a week short of nine years but I wrote an 11 volume science fantasy space opera epic. It has a love story, a revenge story, a redemption story, time travel, a competent magic system, mecha, A.I.'s, robots, space pirates, an intergalactic war, hover craft racing, plenty of twists and jetpacks.

The series kicked off in May with volume one, Volume two: just dropped in September. For the moment they're only in ebook form but Paperbacks should be coming soon. A new book will arrive EVERY THREE MONTHS through 2018. The first two books are available wherever ebooks are sold but it seems there's only reviews on Amazon and goodreads. I gave away FREE copies of the first TWO books to people on /b/ last week in hope I could get some reviews ion Amazon or goodreads in return. Some have delivered.
Shoot me an email at [email protected] with the words "give me free shit" and I'll do the same for you. Will send in both mobi.(kindle) and ePub formats

Pic related: The manuscripts in their respective boxes

I was inspired by Star Wars structure to write but I have sense enough to steer clear of overused tropes and create something new.

I hope you'll enjoy.

>>715799280
ALSO, the series has huge military battles much like the ones in Rogue One

>>715799154
For me, the best part of Star Wars has always been the characters. I would rather watch Han, Luke and Leia have a conversation than a big cgi space battle. Rogue One had no real intimacy or heart, the characters didn't have any real depth. In Force Awakens they did, and they were far better acted. Rey and Finn both had an infectious personality, I genuinely cared for them a lot. Nobody in Rogue One stood out, I couldn't connect to them. Although it was nice to see the screenwriters having the balls to kill them off, it meant nothing to me because they were such poorly written characters that I just didn't care. That's why I think Force Awakens is better.

I liked most of it crept for Leia's closeup. Shouldn't have gotten so close. Good attempt but bad effects. We're not ready for that kind of closeup guys. Also thought Vader was sounding like an old man. Hmmmmm. Oh right! Too bad James Earl Jones ages like a normal person.

Ruined, I assume future films will continue to follow a shitty plot with a empowered nonoppressed female rebel that leads a small force against a clear superior opponent, I'd rather rewatch revenge of the sith

>>715798222
Feels like I'm being manipulated. Like they can just put "Star Wars" on anything and I'm expected to buy it. Fuck that. The only money I've ever spent on Star Wars was a ticket to the most recent one.

>>715799536
No one wants to watch revenge of the sith

>>715799480
But a storm trooper isn't supposed to have any personality. Literally spend his whole life being brainwashed into being a killing machine and he turns into fin? He can't bring himself to shoot an enemy combatant but he can murder his own people without thinking about all the while whooping and celebrating...

It's not that I don't respect your opinion, I just think it's stupid.

>>715799610
revenge of the sith is the best film of the original 6

>>715799573
how long did it take you to realise this

>>715800048
Putting 3 in front of everything invalidates the rest of your opinion

>>715799826
Ha, fuck that's a bit harsh.

Good point about Finn, I didn't like how lightly it weighed on him when he killed other stormtroopers, but having seen how they Vietnammed Max von Sydow's village it didn't make him an unrealistic/unrelatable character I didn't find. It reminded me of a book by Ishmael Beah who was a child soldier in Sierra Leone, brainwashed etc. but balked at the thought of actual combat, so i thought it was ok really.

Did you find Rogue One to have realistic seeming characters at all then? Is it just me that didn't?

>>715792583

8/10 IMO

>>715792707

BETTER THAN EPISODES I, II, III, VII

>>715800387
I didnt mind the characters at all. Maybe when leia said "its a star wars IV a new hope" but other than that. As for harsh, its all for shits and giggles right.

I'm sure others will disagree. That's fine.

>>715800568
How is 4 not the worst in the series? I now it was the most bad ass thing you'd ever seen in the 70s but really it was just set up for the best twist ending in movie history.

>>715800736
This

>>715800848

because it's a fucking classic

>>715800680
Yeah i'm just fucking around.

Wasn't a terrible movie by any stretch, just not a good one either. The writing was shit, I think that's the main problem I had, very poor dialogue throughout which isn't overly the case with other Star Wars films (prequels notwithstanding, obviously).

Still, no matter what I think I'll still be buying a ticket for Episode 8.

>>715801021
So dull though. The first three hours(seems like it) of it is Luke riding around on his speeder

The prequels were a car wreck that Disney slammed into at high speed in a tanker truck full of liquid hydrogen. They need to stop.

>>715800736
yeah i think thats pretty fair

>>715801021
So is nosferatu, but that doesnt mean its any good.

>>715800736

My personal list would be

ANH=ESB>R1>RotJ>TFA>RotS>TPM>GKitT(Getting Kicked in the Testicles)>AotC

>>715801021
it's pretty bad compared to the rest in my opinion. nothing happens in that movie until the end, it's so boring.

>>715801157
Disney didn't own them when those were made

Can we all just try to remember when trying to compare R1 to TFA that R1 is a completely encapsulated story designed to stand on its own, while TFA is the first third of a trilogy. I mean, I tend to agree that the story was more engaging in R1, but TFA was supposed to be laying groundwork for the next two.

Also, TERRIBLE FUCKING DIRECTING/CINE!!! When they go to rescue/murder the father, every third cut, everyone is fucking dry. In the middle of a rainstorm. When they were wet two seconds ago. And the lighting when Vader casts his shadow while meeting the Director, or when the destroyer tiers in and then the light sweeps the death star... fucking impossible. There's zero ways that one or a combination of light sources would have produced these results. It's like whoever was in charge on set just said, fuck it; let's take an early lunch and go home.

>>715800736
He's doing an excellent impersonation of a beaver.

Rouge One was better than Force Awakens. Just hated Darth Tantrum.

Duh, that's the point of the post. They took something that was bad and made it even worse.

I really liked it. It didn't get bogged down with melodrama or overdone politics. I started to feel bad for all the imperials getting shot and blown up though. And then everybody died at the end. Awesome. Well executed comic relief. Alan Tudyk is the man.

>>715795142
Is literally no one going to address the fact that they made Vader do a pun? The great Darth Vader, known as the most ruthless and dangerous sith besides the emperor... can't help but make a choke pun....

>>715793831
Storm Troopers got smarter, the shooting instructor didn't, they still miss a lot for a highly specialized soldier.

>>715804489

I'll agree to disagree but when I watch it again I'll double check their whereabouts when the fleet takes off

>>715792583
the cgi cameos gave me goosebumps. if you knew the old films, you could spot the cgi, but it was smooth.
i didnt really care that much about the story. but it did fill in a lot of plotholes and it was a perfect match with the rest of the movies.
i couldnt care less about the characters tho, and i hope they all died in the end.

they managed to get the 70s look of the old films into the new clips. it was like watching it back in the days, just better. better effects without overdoing it.

im very very glad i watched it, but if u dont care about star wars its meeh.

Vader should have stopped
Started choking him
Then released him and carried on walking without saying anything.

Lucky for those two they hightailed it out of there and got to Tatooine in the space of a few days.

I didn't even notice the blue milk.

Saw it Saturday night.

Excellent movie, but for hardcore fans only. They will appreciate it the most.

Han solo dies

Why? Does it break the immersion when you're self-inserting as him when he speaks?

Weirdo.

All this is fairly true. But the original star wars were corny too, with a pretty basic plot.
At least the comedic relief was supplied by the droid again and was at least chuckle level and not full blown annoying and written for 4 year olds like eps 6,1,2,3.

I refuse to see it because it's just a shitty money grab to hold over idiots who cant wait till episode 8. Let me guess its a generic starwars themed movie that seems half assed and would have been better if they had actually taken time to make it?

So what is rogue one; ep IV.V?

>>715801140
Did you even watch it? Are you mixing up the movies and characters?

>>715810167
Don't be mad because you're too poor and don't have any friends to go with.

>>715810167
Nah, I love the originals and ep 7, thought Rogue One might be good but just really wasn't my thing. Other people loved it so good for them, I just really didn't.
