>There’s none of the Shakespearean space politics, enticingly florid dialogue, or experiential thrills of the best of George Lucas’s “Star Wars” entries (“Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”). The script of “Rogue One” is so flat and inexpressive, the direction of the actors so methodical, as to render these artists nearly robotic and synthetic. The one character with any inner identity is, in fact, a robot, K-2SO, voiced by Alan Tudyk, and the only performance with any flair at all is a C.G.I. incarnation, or, rather, resurrection.

And the game was anything but fun. It was an abysmal piece of work that wasn't anything like it was advertised. Flight of the Falcon was fun at some points, how is it the worst game in the franchise?

This may be a retarded question but do Destroyer Droids talk at all in Legends or canon?

I read a Rogue One review that called Chirrut a blind Jedi samurai. Was that a mistake on the critic's part or did they inadvertantly spoil something?

Why is Stuckmann comparing Vader's amount of screentime to Godzilla? Rogue One was never advertised as a Vader movie and Lucasfilm has said several times that Vader's presence is small and isn't the main villain.

>>88399219

I mean a VADER film. Not Anakin, not Luke redeeming his father, I mean a good old Vader hunting Jedi and fucking shit up movie.

>>88399219
>Vader's presence is small and isn't the main villain.

The problem with putting in someone like Vader is that everything else in the film becomes less attractive. Why the fuck would you care about the new Imperial bad guy when the trailer tells you VADER IS IN THIS FILM Y'ALL just wait until he shows up!

So when he does show up for 4 minutes, it will always feel like a disappointment, no matter what he does. Doesn't help that the new bad guy was apparently not all that interesting.

>Lobotomized and depersonalized, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” the latest entry in the film franchise, is a pure and perfect product that makes last year’s flavor, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” feel like an exemplar of hands-on humanistic warmth and dramatic intimacy. Sure, J. J. Abrams’s movie offered merely effectively packaged simulacra of such values—but at least he tried.

Is it weird that I'm actually feeling optimistic about it? And this is from someone who's against the idea of anthology movies.

>>88399662
But they're not saying it's divisive or that it goes too far in some places

The negative reviews are saying it's totally soulless to a level that makes TFA look warm

>>88399662

Eh, I have to admit I was more interested in RO than if TFA because RO has an original story. I do appreciate that. But I doubt the movie is good, probably just okay. Which is totally fine for an action film, thb.

>>88399646
I'm a bit surprised about this as early interviews with Edwards had him saying that he wanted to leave his mark on the franchise and do something bold

I guess the reshoots really did cut his balls off, just like everyone said but /swg/ refused to believe

>>88399681

I find that hard to believe, since RO has Whitacker and Mikkelsen, who at least are capable of giving good performances. TFA had no actors of that level.

>Millions of people will sit through this thoroughly mediocre movie (directed with basic competence by Gareth Edwards from a surprisingly hackish script by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy) and convince themselves that it’s perfectly delightful. It’s so much easier to obey than to resist. The spoiler warning sent by the Disney empire instructed journalists to “continue to be our partners on this journey,” and defiance is unthinkable, even if “partner” is taken as a synonym for “shill.”
It's edgy and pretentious as hell and seems like it hates Disney more than the film.

It was the same with TPM. Most people forget that TPM's reception was overall positive, despite its flaws, and it was only after AotC that people really started to bash the prequels.

My point is that the supposed more credible critics like it less.

>>88400096
That's the NYT review

I'm talking about the New Yorker
>Lobotomized and depersonalized, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” the latest entry in the film franchise, is a pure and perfect product that makes last year’s flavor, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” feel like an exemplar of hands-on humanistic warmth and dramatic intimacy. Sure, J. J. Abrams’s movie offered merely effectively packaged simulacra of such values—but at least he tried.

It's saying that the bad things we found about TFA (i.e. soulless cashgrab) is even worse in RO

>“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is for the fans, all right, but in that expression’s worst way. Unless you’re thrilled by the idea of 133 minutes of sideways mentions, shout-outs and straight-up references to the original “Star Wars” (or “Episode IV: A New Hope,” for those born after 1977), there’s not nearly enough excitement going on here, much less character, plot or story.

Because one point doesn't make a trend

It takes two to really see how things are going
With TPM, it was "Well... This is a little awkward, but I can see how it can improve!"
But once AotC came around, everyone know it was Shitsville

Same thing with Disney Wars
TFA was cold and designed by committee. Functional but almost soulless
People saw that and explained it as restarting Star Wars on a new path

But now we can see that that's how Star Wars is going to be from now on.
Factory made and mass appealed.

>>88400154
That's fair, but the overwhelming pattern we've seen is dislike RO, like TFA.

Replace JJ with George and you get what people were saying about the prequels after TFA came out.

Every Star Wars movie from now on will be looked at like "Sure the last one wasn't great, but at least X director tried"

It's like poetry

>>88400154

>The director of “Rogue One,” Gareth Edwards, has stepped into a mythopoetic stew so half-baked and overcooked, a morass of pre-instantly overanalyzed implications of such shuddering impact to the series’ fundamentalists, that he lumbers through, seemingly stunned or constrained or cautious to the vanishing point of passivity, and lets neither the characters nor the formidable cast of actors nor even the special effects, of which he has previously proved himself to be a master, come anywhere close to life.

>Star Wars: The Force Awakens is probably a near perfect Star Wars film that regular fans and fanatics alike have been waiting for, but it suffers by slavishly sticking to the tropes from the original and doesn’t strive to go off script. After the disaster of the prequels, it seemed like the mandate here was “Don’t fuck it up by trying to deliver something new and fresh.” This isn’t a bad thing, but while watching it I kept thinking, why isn’t this THRILLING me? It’s very much a weirdly, self contained movie that only exists to slowly set things up for future movies. Again, not a bad thing.

Score: A-

>Just once I’d like to see a Star Wars film and be wowed by seeing something completely new and fresh. I know that’s impossible to do when a world and franchise is as established as this one is. I didn’t hate Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, it commits the crime of being underwhelming and unoriginal.

A Star Wars movie isn't supposed to be fun or a 'sense of adventure'. This is a war.

>This was a Star Wars movie that remembered that Star Wars movies were supposed to be a blast.
What the fuck does this even mean? A Star Wars movie isn't """"supposed"""" to be a blast. ROTS was NOT a blast considering its subject matter and that was appropriate. This movie is about getting plans to a planet destroying machine in what is likely a suicide mission.

>The Force Awakens was comfortable in its own skin, celebrating both the franchise itself and the audience’s experience watching it over the years.
How is a movie designed just to be nostalgic not soulless?

>>88400920
Pablo said so.

>>88400853
Exactly, and there are practically no toyetic characters in this movie besides the droid and the troopers. Yet I've already seen 4 or 5 different Jyn Erso toys plus the other generic jackoffs. Kids only want the boring human characters if they live to fight another day, like Han Solo.

Most of the reviewers are OT elitists. We had shots fired for people too young to view the original in theaters. I'm really not worried because these old timers will die out in my lifetime.

Prequel haters sure are defensive today

>>88401078
>having nothing to do with the film

How do movies in the same franchise have nothing to do with each other?

The Prequels will always be brought up in a Star Wars review, positive or negative, because they're legendarily bad

A good review will say "Relax, it's not the Prequels!"
A bad review will say "It's the Prequels all over again"

Until there is a new bottom standard, all movies will be judged from them

>>88401078
>So if you talk about rogue one and then someone comes in and starts bashing the prequels despite it having nothing to do with the film, you should discard their opinion

It's like saying Dash Rendar is in ANH because the Outrider flies by in the background

>>88401329
Is it really a spoiler? It's obvious that nobody important in that movie can survive or it brings up too many questions of why they aren't around and doing important things later. This is the limitation of prequels.

>>88401247

Eh. He's okay.

>>88401329

That was hardly a spoiler.

>>88401335
>I'll never understand the defensiveness over the prequels.
They grew up with it as kids and now they're emotionally involved

There's a difference between "acknowledging something is bad" and "constantly bringing it up in every single discussion"

That's not how canon works. Chopper appears in a scene on Rogue One so canonically he was literally on Yavin IV right before Episode IV.

>>88401496
The Prequels are viable and important movies even if you think they're not good, so the comparing things to them is fair game. The Holiday Special is basically just a joke to everyone. Making comparisons to it is useless because it stands alone in its cringe.

>>88401585

I don't see anyone say this when people hate on TFA.

But its worse, therefore it should be constantly brought up to establish a scale for reviewing Star Wars films

>>88401646
This is actually pretty spot on

>>88401668
TFA is 1/7 of the saga

>>88401671
But it's essentially an aside. It's why nobody seriously compares saga films to things like Rebels. They're not considered on the same scale to warrant comparison.

>>88400645
Sure sounds like Michael Giacchino. Hopefully this is his first and last Star Wars movie.

>>88401668
That is because TFA is a generic Hollywood Blockbuster with a copy-paste script, pretending to be Star Wars.

>>88401691
But its Star Wars and therefore fair game for comparison

>>88401668
Because they like the prequels and don't like TFA. The standards always suddenly change when it suits people.

>ignoring every point I just made

I can see this is going nowhere.

Anyone else find Poggle fucking hilarious in Catalyst?

>poggle your drones are killing each other
"It's CULTURE man just chill"
>poggle they're hardly working
"It's CULTURE man just chill"
>wtf is this poggle
"Hahaha bye nigga"

>>88401751
But you do the same

>>88401783
Poggleposting sadly never took off in the first place.

>>88400082
not even bait though, seriously kys

>>88401223
If you read Catalyst you should have already expected him to be a bitch in Rogue One.

>>88401820
I mean, he was outsmarted by poggle, so yeah

>Empire: Can you share one line of dialogue from the Episode VIII script?

>Daisy Ridley: I can give you one word. “I”.

>E: That’s barely a word. That’s just a letter.

>DR: “I” sums up so many things. It’s powerful. It’s life. I’ve actually given you a big spoiler!

I... am your father?

This, the only "good" thing about the OT versus the prequels is that the plot isn't convoluted as fuck (despite being hackneyed as hell) and Han Solo. Otherwise it's the same garbage.

>awful protagonists
>terrible supporting characters and cringey comic relief
>hokey storytelling full of plot contrivances
>embarrassing villains with stupid names
>cutting edge special effects that have aged terribly

If you think I'm wrong go and read the reviews for the OT. The only difference lies in which ones you grew up with. The constant infighting between the different generations of fans is fuckin hilarious.

they moved the "I Rebel" line to Ep8

It's up to 83%!!

Any word on which TPM characters are in Rogue One yet?

>>88401864
>"I will stand up against you."
>"I will fight."
>"I am not [yours]."
All sorts of combinations set to empower Rey against Kylo, Hux, Snoke and whoever else.

It's I as in ai - aiaiaiaiaiai caramba. The next Imperial bad guy is Mexican.

>>88401892
Spicy Latina Inquisitor when?

>>88401889
I'm starting to think that rumor ended up being false

There is a cameo most reviewers have mentioned though, but haven't said the name of

>>88401889
It was a fake rumor, as all rumors tend to be.

>>88401876
This is accurate

Furthermore, the OT had a tendency to drag in certain parts, becoming incredibly boring. People bitched about the political parts of the prequels being boring, but the OT had just as many parts where absolutely fucking nothing happened

>>88401892
Uh excuse me, the Empire is a white nationalist organization

>>88401889
None, MSW was *gasp* WRONG.

A false rumor? This can mean only one thing...

>>88401910
Yes please. I need a new Inquisifu.

The First Order is clearly far more inclusive!
