INCOMING POST-ROGUE ONE POST

I knew Bail was referring to Leia when he was talking about his old, female friend but for a split second I thought just maybe it was Ahsoka.

>>88456589
Fuck you I almost pissed my pants with excitement while Vader took out those Rebel troops with his fucking lightsaber

>>88456595
What does that even mean?

what is the point of the B-wing?

Ahsnoka

>>88456635
It's cute.

>>88456616
A New Hope opens with Leia stressing that they are on a diplomatic mission and the senate will be angry. Vader argues that they received a rebel transmission. However, if Leia and the Tantive IV are literally present AT the battle to the point that Vader actually sees the ship leave, the entire exchange/opening of ANH falls apart.

>>88456617
The vader bit was awesome.

>>88456622
>both are prequels that feature a completely new cast that inevitably all die in an effort that lets the entire franchise begin and is also better than the franchise's second trilogy

>>88456617
>Ahsoka
>In a live action movie
Is there even a possibility? I mean, there are ways to make an Ahsoka standalone without mentioning she was Anakin's apprentice and confusing the general audience.

>>88456676
Nothing about that exchange implied Vader didn't already know. Leia was coming up with a quick excuse. She didn't know Vader saw.

>>88456635
Frigate/Capital ship destruction.

>>88456676
it's obviously Leia trying to bullshit her way out of a FUBAR situation, it's not like everyone on that ship doesn't already know they're fucked

>>88456676
>A New Hope opens
Leia's lie isn't really believable either way and she's just making sure Vader knows she won't talk.

Hey guys guess what, I found Rogue One's Boba Fett/Sidon Ithano

>>88456705
but it's so tiny, and why couldn't a Y-wing do the same job?

Why is there a Star Wars general on /co/?
Is there enough actual discussion to warrant it, or do you guys just waifu post every thread?

The last episode of 2003 Clone Wars takes place about 30 minutes before ROTS starts, how many minutes are between R1's end and ANH's beginning?

>>88456683
Could literally be Asohka: A Star Wars story.

Begin with flashbacks/visions of her past an apprentice, show her leaving the Jedi Order, then fast-forward to her years as an early Fulcrum and voila.

>>88456701
Seems kind of silly that she wouldn't know, since the rebel that passed it off literally barely escaped Vader.

>>88456676
>Hey I see you doing rebel shit
>N-no, no rebel shit here, we're on a diplomatic mission...
>Bitch please, you know damn well you're doing some rebel shit in here

I don't see the problem

>>88456730
There's a lot of comic and cartoon material to discuss.

>>88456720
literally who

>>88456730
We have both a cartoon (just entered winter break) and nearly weekly comic releases. Both parts of what gives /co/ it's name.

>>88456595
okay I wasn't the only one see that connection

What the hell were Evazan and Ponda doing on Jedha and how did they get off of it so quickly? It was probably the only bit of fanservice in the movie that was gratuitous.

>>88456753

One? Less?

>>88454038
This one is really interesting for development on Dac. The Mon Cal just up and split. I wonder if the Quarren left too, but they probably sided with the Empire since they finally got exactly what they wanted; they get to be the Species Number One. Should set up some interesting events if they decide to return to Dac in triumph after Endor and find the Quarren put up No Vancacy signs.

>>88456753
>The last episode of 2003 Clone Wars takes place about 30 minutes before ROTS
didn't happen

>>88456755
I'd watch it
>>88456774
Moments like those really make the galaxy feel small and make no sense. That definitely should've been a deleted scene.

>>88456762
Passing off a disk at the scene of a huge battle isn't the same as receiving a transmission. It changes the context of Vader taking over the Tantive.

Or it would if it was George Lucas writing it, I guess. Rogue One ultimately has zero effect on ANH due to the nature of how the movie was made. It's a niptick I guess, but I really didn't like it.

>>88456720
Sidon and Boba at least actually have a small part to play in their plots

Your guy is more like the Constable Zuvio/Dice Ibegon

Absolutely loved Rouge One, 100% makes up for TFA.

>>88456797
tartakovsky cartoon is canon

>>88456722
Y-Wings were getting old, B-Wing has more weapons and ordnance, and being debatably smaller makes for a reduced silhouette, which is great when you're going to face a ship's weapon batteries.

Also the Y-Wing's cockpit view is absolute horseshit for the pilot, whereas the B-Wing's cockpit allows for at least a 180 degrees forward view, which is great when you're dogfighting ships while your radar's being jammed like, say, during the Battle of Yavin.

>>88456807
>isn't the same as receiving a transmission
did you miss the crucial fucking plot point as to how they got the damn disk?

>>88456761
She wasn't there. She was on the bridge knowing that the Imperials and likely Vader were coming.
Also, ANH opens with rebels firing at storm troopers. If she was truly on a diplomacy mission, that wouldn't have happened.

>>88456763
>>88456764
But everyone's talking about the movie.
Like, comics come out once a week, and if the cartoon is on break, what's the point?
Hell, you aren't even using /co/ pictures in the OP.

>>88456826
Not currently, there's a few things that contradict TCW and the Ahsoka novel.

>>88456826
No it isn't.

Plenty of canon things contradict it, including the 2008-2014 CGI cartoon

>>88456764
>literally who
So yeah, Boba Fett and Sidon Ithano when they first appear.

Apparently Chopper has a cameo on Yavin - anyone catch this or was I lied to?

>>88456844
More than one comic comes out a week, and Rogue One is getting a lot of tie ins on Rebels.

>>88456844
>we're only allowed to have generals on days the comics or cartoons actually come out

i've taken the bait

>>88456844
>But everyone's talking about the movie
which the cartoon ties into. which has received much more discussion here than say, tg, who has talked much more about possible minifig releases for x-wing than co has

>>88456774
>>88456799

It's the Force. They don't have to explain shit

>>88456868
I thought I saw him inside the hanger, but it went by so quick I couldn't tell for sure.

>>88456837
>did you miss the crucial fucking plot point as to how they got the damn disk?
No? I actually thought they were going to beam the data OUT with the scene of them downloading the disk because it'd fit perfectly with ANH... Then they did the physical pass off and makes Leia an actual participant in the battle.

>>88456887
But why would they be on Jedha? It doesn't affect anything, so why would they be drawn there?

>>88456826
Anon, welcome to 2008

>inb4 someone tries to say Lucasfilm still considered it canon back then

>>88456868
I didn't see him, but I missed all the Rebels references.

when is Vader going to kill Darth Maul?

>>88456903
All of them?

Even "GENERAL SYNDULLA!" and the multiple shots of the Ghost in the space battle?

>>88456903
I thought I saw Sabine as one of the fighter pilots.

>>88456887
but are you the force, and is it with you?

>>88456908
Is Phantom II in the rear dock, or is it missing? I can't tell.

so how powerful of a force user is Leia in the new canon?

>>88456870
Okay, but they all come out on one day.
>>88456872
If I was a janitor, I wouldn't let anyone have generals at all. The live action shows have threads to watch episodes and then regular threads to just talk about it. They don't need 24/7 IV injections to keep them going, why do you?
>>88456882
This is at least a valid argument.

Poor guy can't even make a sandwich right

>>88456918
>multiple shots of the Ghost in the space battle
I ended up only seeing the Ghost twice in the battle. Once as every ship jumps in, and once flying past Raddus' window after hearing it's gun firing.

>>88456912
Obi-Wan will kill him on Tattoine in the season finale.

>>88456903
Well there is the obvious one from the TV spot
I heard them call for General Syndulla on Yavin
Just missed the Chopper one myself.

>>88456943
Seems missing. No big dorsal fin and that black spot in the back could be the mark of an empty docking socket.

>>88456944
Not a full blown Jedi but she's probably had some training that makes her more sensitive than most since she sensed Han's death.

>>88456926
I noticed the checkered helmet someone mentioned.
>>88456918
Yes all of them. Its honestly been awhile since I watched the show. I dropped it after the Season 2 premiere for no other reason than laziness. Then I saw the helicopter lightsabers and decided I made the right choice.
Did it get better?

>>88456944
She can "feel" terrible shit happening over long distances.

That's it.

>>88456953
There was definitely at least a couple other moments where it was swooping around.

Put a stupid grin on my face each time it happened

>>88456635
compared to the Y-wing, the B-wing destroy everything, it is omnivorous in its diet of destruction
the big downside is that it is slow, the Y-wing is faster, compared to the Y-wing, the B-wing serves better a screen to keep enemy ships away from your own ships, while Y-wings make better dedicated ship hunters

>>88456908
Does anyone have a list of references/fan service?
chopper, hera, ghost, Bail to an extent, mustafar, coruscant, whills of the force

>>88456944
Seems like she was too busy putting the New Republic together, doing politics, taking care of her family, and then setting up the Resistance afterward to really focus on Jedi training. But her sensitivity to the Force has gotten stronger with age.

>>88456966
They'll probably send Kanan and Ezra off on a separate mission while this is occurring, or else Vader would sense them during the battle
>>88456985
Helicopter lightsabers were very brief, the season 2 finale is the best episode of the show.

how does /co/ feel about the decision to kill Han Solo?

>>88456985
Yes it got way better.And the irony of that Helicopter shit is that it was in the highest rated show of the entire run.

In fact, that episode is rated higher than every single TCW episode too, on IMDB. I wont say why, just know that not even the goofy helicopters could have ruined that amazing episode.

Seriously, you shouldn't have dropped it. Pick it back up.

It only gets better and better.

>>88456991
Which old EU always chalked up to her lack of training not being able to do anything else.

the Y-wing is a general purpose fighter-bomber, it can hold off enemy fighters long enough to bomb its targets, although some people like Dutch Vander apparently thought the Y-wing would make a great fighter and became aces in them

>Darth Vader's castle

In Rogue One, when Krennic goes to what is presumably Vader's personal palace/temple on the Mordor planet, was that Had Abbadon?

>>88457563
This idea makes me wonder what the 3rd spin off could possibly be that would still accomplish this idea. I believe a Kenobi movie was recently confirmed as not happening.

>>88457577
It was Mustafar

>>88457553
Because just about everything can be explained away pretty believably. And when it isn't its usually something so insignificant that its hardly noticeable.
This is neither of those cases.

>>88457577
mustafar

>>88457370

>>88457608
>everything can be explained away pretty believably
There was an explanation, though (granted an off-screen one). But before that, I just thought it was a combination of the Force and propellant dynamics. It's hardly unbelievable and it works in the Inquisitors favor to establish just how unskilled and reliant on tools they are.

yfw Krennic took a Death Star Superlaser blast between the eyes

>>88457630
If it had a label I didnt see it either. I assumed it was Mustafar like the other 2 said.

>>88457640
Sorry I didnt think about saving the link. I saw it awhile back so it can still happen (I know I want it too). I could even be miss remembering what was said in the link because it was awhile back when I last saw it. I thought the link was something like they didnt want to do a solo Kenobi film because they wanted to use him for something else.

>>88457654
>>88457659
Okay. Fair enough. I concede. I still think spinny blades in general are stupid, but I do like what they imply about the Inquisitors.

>>88457577
>>88457630
They mentioned in rebels that Vader and The Emperor are stationed out on Mustifar, I guess Vader likes to think about that time he got burnt to almost death.

It's probably better to be there than, per say, Emperor Palpetine Surgical Reconstruction Center.

>>88457682
If they are using him at all, what do you think they'll do?
Would Ewan McGreggor come back?

I should kill myself for being so stupid. Fucking squad.

>>88457630
There was no label because Mustafar would have quickly given it away that it was Vader in the tank, they wanted to preserve the dramatic reveal

>>88457740
I envy you, anon. I have nobody to talk to about it irl.

>>88457684
Well, the Inkies were trained wrong on purpose so they need technology and gadgets to make up for the gap in power when fighting fully trained Jedi.

>>88457740
You should also get out of this thread, right now. For your own good.

See you tomorrow night.

Who was Bail talking about in his convo with mon mothma? Leia?

>>88457801
>We purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.

>>88457768
Same problem. Miss comunication with my friends means Im the only one who saw it today. They see it tomorrow. I really want to talk about all those ANH characters that showed up but cant because that surprise for me was too great that they deserve the same.

Tarkin was a god damn blessing I would never have expected and I smiled like a boy when Red and Gold leaders both showed up. (I would have been happy with name drops but they actually put the characters in the movie with speak roles? I was shocked)

>>88457768
They were all raised on the eu and know literally nothing about Nu Canon. Ifeel like an autist trying to explain things.
>>88457808
I already know most of the spoilers, I've stopped caring at this point

Anyone else find CGI undead Tarkin really off-putting? Similarly wax plastic Leia was pretty strange as well. I thought they would have kept both in the shadows a bit more.

>>88456908

Also in one of the early Yavin shots, landed off to the left of the screen.

Hate being that guy, but

>very explicit references to both canon cartoons

>>88457017
Given how old Ford is now and him wanting Han to be put to death already it made sense to do.

>>88457847
Tarkin only bothered me in his first scene, I stopped noticing after that.

>>88457847
Yeah I instantly noticed he was CG, which made it very distracting to watch him, wish they had just recast him

My friend has read every thing in the canon. Felt awesome to have someone to sit and talk to about the wider implications of this movie.

>>88457847
I actually thought they did an excellent job with him. I kept having to remind myself that it wasnt actually the actor.

>>88457887
The CGI actress was the strangest, which is odd, because her character wears a lot of makeup. Should've been easier than the actor.

Am I alone in being thrown off by Vader's look in R1?
It looked really squat and short to me.
Maybe I'm too used to his look in Rebels

With all the references, wider canon connections, and returns, this felt like an anniversary movie

>>88457914
Like the Civil War 90s edition RDJ being slightly off.

>>88457899
Jun Sato is a commander though.

>>88457899
Kanan's been calling her General since her promotion, but I think Sato's a dead man walking since his incursion with Thrawn.

>>88457847
At first it came off as weird, but his later scenes looked better and I didn't pay it much mind.

I assume they were trying to make him look as much like ANH Vader as possible but he looks cheap on a 2016 camera compared to a 1977 camera

>>88457899
I feel like Sato will be a casualty of Thrawn's grand keikaku for the season finale.

Back in Star Wars Celebration this year, Filoni mentioned seeing a toddler/young child dressed as Krennic. He then mentioned that he knew stuff that we didn't yet, and that he wondered if people would have the same enthusiasm for him after they saw the movie.

What do you suppose he was talking about? Just the fact that Krennic's a douche-nozzle?

Ok Disney, if you're gonna be making these "side stories" or whatever you wanna call it between Star Wars Episodes, can you PLEASE do something in the Old Republic era? Or bring Kyle Katarn into the canon somehow? idk how you do it.

Careful /co/, don't choke on your own ambitions.

>>88458010

Thrawns plan in the season itself is tactically sound. Let that one group be tracked back to other cells like Ryloth, Lothal, and Iron and Phoenix Squadrons and make contact with the inside man they'd logically need. Then use destroyers and equipment you verify works to bring them down all at once in conjunction with tech you verify yourself.

It seems stupid because it's padded with filler episodes.

When did you realize he was actually the main character?

>>88458242
What happened that he needed bacta?

>>88458206
Nucanon says they cant do it at all.

Legends says they actually could dogfight but were so out classed by the modern TIE Fighter and X-Wing it just made more sense to make them bombers.

>>88458250
When he killed tiny arm

>>88458259
Probably to stem necrotic flesh, confrontation in Rebels perhaps?

>>88458206
the general explanation I think is that there is the standard Y-wing, which has a turret, and the BTL-A4, which deletes the gunner and locks the turret straight as a second set of guns
the first configuration is the EU one, a 2-seater fighter-bomber designed to survive long enough to use torps, while the second on is from the OT, a bona-fide heavy fighter that can stand head to head with most spacecraft

Anyone have a picture of the Chopper cameo?

>>88458259
Probably just a periodic maintenance thing. He is a cindered torso after all.

>>88458250
When I wanted to kiss him.

>>88458259
Burned to a crisp on a planet called Mustafar by his former master. You may have seen it, it occurred in RotS.


The life saving armor he where probably doesnt let his body heal correctly because its literally rubbing against his lack of skin so he probably needs to go in the tank every now and then to prevent infection or help heal

So what are all these "HAHA REMEMBER THIS?!" references that some critics say were forced?

The only one I'd say that felt that way was Ponda Bobba and Evazan

>>88458347

maybe gold and red leader + even tarkin probably

>>88458347
Ending was a bit much

Darth Vader side story movie based on the Marvel run when? Basically 2 hours of Vader fucking everyones shit up.

>>88458347
>critics complaining about audience winking in Rogue One
>they loved it in TFA

>>88456617

How do they do Leia?. Is it CGI like Tarkin?

>>88458362
Tarkin was needed though. He's the commander of the death star.

>>88458347
I thought that R2 and threepio were a bit much

>>88458364

I loved the ending tho, Vader mowing down rebels made me and my sister cream our pants. Plus seeing Leia literally brought a nostaliga tear to my eye in a much better way than VII ever did

>>88458362
Tarkin was needed. Gold and Red leader make sense to be at that battle.

>>88458362
The squadron leaders just make sense and were a welcome addition. It helps brings the universe together when you see pilots in one movie participating in another movie they logically would have been it.

Saying those leaders are forced is like saying Wedge Antilles was forced in ESB and RotJ

Precedent set by R2 and Threepio. Would've definitely liked to see more aliens though.

For me seeing all of the cockpit shots at Scarif with human and after human felt like a lot of wasted potential. How hard could it be to sneak a near-human like a mirialan in there?

Alright, no more fucking around, what did you guys think of Rogue One?

Also, I liked CGI Tarkin. I knew it was CGI, but his scenes were so well done. He fucking rekt Krennic.

God damn, it was all so beautiful.

K2, AKA king candy AKA ludo

>>88458347
R2 and 3PO, Ponda, leia at the end (more so due to the bad CGI)
I liked when K2 was going to say "Iv'e got a bad feeling about this" and they both cut him off. Would've even been more perfect if there weren't
so many references in the movie itself, as a way of saying "ENOUGH WITH REFERENCES"

>>88458010

>>88458521
I enjoyed it.

It's hard to explain and I might not be making sense but I'm having a hard time objectively critiquing it (Positively or negatively) as a film because it really clicked as a piece of Star Wars overall, which I consider a big positive.

Did anyone else kinda hate K2, mainly for how many times he talked about probability

>>88458566
I like to believe the hammerhead reversed thrusters and went on to fight in later battles. I also like to believe that Arvel Crynyd was on that hammerhead

>>88458562
I loved how fluidly Catalyst and Rogue One fit together. I know book prequels to movies are a thing, but damned if this wasn't the most perfect execution of that I've ever seen.

No, because he handled it better than 3PO ever did.

>>88458521
5>4>6>RO>3>7>1>2

I felt like they used too much music way too much. It felt like almost every scene had the score humming in the background. I also think the cast didn't get enough time to develop, especially Jyn. we see her family a lot, but I feel like we didn't get to see her.

But the space battles, worlds, effects, and the props, etc. they were all so masterfully done. The positives far outweigh the negatives.

THAT FUCKING HAMMERHEAD.

>>88458599
I almost did but he was just too adorable.

>>88458622
>No, but there was a fat pilot who died. Call sign was Red 5. Guess there's a vacancy.

>>88458622
Haven't seen him but Red Five was another fat guy, not Porkins.

I just realized we never saw Biggs or Porkins even though there was video of them on set

Well done Disney, another dogfight better than the prequels.

Because both of them look pretty damned amazing visually, have good stories, and have decent-to-good characters.

God damn I'm so impressed by the world building that they were able to fit into this movie.

The Cities felt alive, the planets were exciting, the factions felt perfect. Biggest disapointment was lack of world building in TFA, and RO has made up for it two-fold

So if you recall, early trailers featured Jyn and Cassian running through the waters of Jedha with the Death Star hard drive. What happened to that sequence? In the movie Jyn and Cassian go straight from the hard drive room to the satellite thing.

>Hell, V has Imperial March, best song in the fucking franchise that btfo of anything in the pre-quels

Those are individual tracks.

Basically all of RotS's entire soundtrack is amazing. Particularly:

>The Immolation Scene
>Anakin's Dark Deeds
>Padmé's Ruminations
>Anakin's Betrayal
>Battle of the Heroes
>Enter Lord Vader
>The Birth of the Twins and Padmé's Destiny
>Palpatine's Teachings

Stop making shit up anon. When the movie ended the people (The ones that showed up, it was 2 AM) started applauding.

Tantive IV was commanded by Cpt Antilles, and R2 and 3PO did belong to him

>>88458952
>Qui-Gon's death

Disagree, thats how it should be in a duel, Opponent gets struck down and next opponent has your full attention

> Order 66 sequence
That spaceship getting shot down with Ki-Adi-Mundi was heartbreaking, same with Aayla Secura, the younglings scene was the only one that broke up its momentum

I'm so glad they cut the "I rebel" line, it felt so forced in and tacky.

I remember thinking I really like whatever was playing during the scene were Jyn's being transported to the labor camp. Other than that I can't really remember.

I guess Im an odd ball. I liked the line.

But I dont mind it being out. Especially sense everyone else seemed to hate it. Better to take something out everyone hates then leave it in for a handful of people

Tant was in the belly of the flagship, Flagship was presumably in space, fleet was mobilizing when the cameo happened.

Basically, the only way for them to have made it on board would be if directly after the cameo ends they get loaded onto TIV, and then TIV flys from the surface into the belly of the flagship
