Why is Mustafar much less hellish than it appears in Episode III, the creators claim Vader built his castle to overlook the spot he fought Obi-Wan so has the planet's volcanic activity subsided in the last 18 years? Is that possible?

So, Krrsantan became persona non grata on Tatooine after he failed to get Kenobi, but then he is back to being one of Jabba's best hunters. So is there any reason why he didn't tell Jabba that Kenobi was the man he was looking for?

Slowpoking a bit here but I finally saw Rogue one and I really have to say. The sound effects fucking sucked what the hell. The shit they played in theaters wasn't Starwars at all. Thats one thing TFA got right to an extreme was the unbelievably iconic sound effects the franchise is known for. In RO they had a few leftover sounds from previous movies made ultra quiet so you could hear the somewhat lackluster soundtrack. The Xwings didn't even sound like Xwings, what the hell, for a movie that went so above and beyond to make referencey fanservice they completely blew it in the sound department. I had to ask some friends if it was my local theater's fault or the movie and they agreed it was the movie.

I'm so upset I paid for that bullshit, there is no reason at all to see a movie in theater with modern TVs having even better video quality. So the only reason I saw it was to feel the sound like how I felt it in the previous movies. People love to post links of their favorite sound effects from all of the movies, but I bet nobody will post anything from this one. I mean for gods sake the Rebels TV show has better sound design than this movie.

>>88650604
Yeah, they get old fast. You could replace almost all of Triple Zero's dialogue with "I LIKE MURDER ISN'T THAT FUNNY?" and nothing would change.

Clone Poggle and make him the new boss of the galaxy

>>88650604
Triple-Zero is so far my least favorite canon character. Aside from him, the Darth Vader comic is great and Aphra is fantastic from the two issues out so far. 0-0-0 even had a decent moment in the first issue.

I think I would tolerate 0-0-0 a little more if he didn't just look like an edgy C-3PO. If he had a unique design I'd like him a tiny bit more.

>>88650699
It was in Star Wars Galaxies I think. It was fucking awful

>>88650628
>hes hk-47
he's more hk-50 though. 47 was all about finesse, he strived to accomplish more with less. 50 were all about wanton slaughter, about result rathere than process. Also, 47 was an assassin, not a torturer. And he was funnier.

>>88650740
A unique design would help, but he needs more to him than just the same tired joke over and over. He doesn't even really count as a subversion of C-3PO. AP-5 in Rebels and K-2SO in Rogue One do a better job of being alternate takes on Threepio. Triple Zero has no personality beyond enjoying killing.

>>88650740
I think the only reason they gave him C-3PO's design was so that can use stills from the movies as reference/tracing material for drawing 0-0-0.
Modern comic artists are hacks and just trace everything over photos or 3D models, because when they don't it looks shit.

>>88650730
clone Poggle and make him a sex slave

Has Thrawn been underused? I was talking to a buddy about him in this season vs Vader in last season and it just seems like Thrawn has done nothing. They obviously have an endgame plan with him but I can't figure it out.

>>88650872
I feel like they're using him just enough. Really the test will be how the endgame plays out, but I think a lot of people are expecting him to somehow destroy the entire rebel fleet and also kill the entire main cast and will consider him a jobber and a complete mockery of his original self if he doesn't, even though he actually didn't accomplish much in the Thrawn trilogy to begin with and kept pulling the "let them have their victory, this is all part of a greater plan" thing there, too.

So are the Death Troopers cyborg zombies?

They don't seem to be 100% human or even clones.

>>88651165
Apparently they're not part of the zombie project, just named after it for intimidation purposes.

They're probably cyborgs but they may have had other stuff done to them, the visual guide classifies them as augmented humans.

>>88651140
Apparently there was a new archduke appointed after Poggle ran off, but I imagine that guy would've been one of the first to be killed.

Different ship. The model Vader's using is the one she used when she was queen, and apparently hasn't used since then.

Mustafar has places that don't have as much lava

>>88650405
>so has the planet's volcanic activity subsided in the last 18 years? Is that possible?

I don't know if official sources have said anything, so I'm just going to shoot a theory.

1, mayhaps the most concentrated of Volcanic activity shifts over time. Kina like a storm, but on a geological/tectonic level.

2, maybe it's more a planetary, astrological influence. Maybe Mustafar was, when saw it in Rogue One, in it's winter cycle as opposed to when in RoTS, we saw it in it's version of summer.

Though I'm neither an expert on either geology or gravitational influence on an atmospheric degree.

>>88650460

They better have Temuera Morrison playing him otherwise it'll fuck up canon

Daily reminder that Ezra is a buttslut

>>88651641
They could easily recast with a younger version of the character

>>88651460
>>88651526
It's the model from Episode I. It wasn't heard of since. Padme's ships in both II and III are different models.
Why would Vader have a ship from 30 years ago?

>>88651641
Probably depends on when it's set. He's too old for Boba pre-ANH, though just right for Boba closer to the sequel era. They may just get him to do the voice.

Either way I'm not sure why that article decided to post that old list of candidates as if it was still a thing, it was debunked ages ago.

>>88651550
Then its probably just been sitting at Naboo for the other Queens to use I imagine and he went and took it.

Ya'll niggas gay. He's not even repetitive each scene he's in is approached differently. Like playing holochess and getting spiteful at losing and trying to shock him by shaking his hand. Using mindgames and sarcasm to freak out the enemy soldiers because Vader wouldn't let him put blood drainers in the droids.

They've been creative with him. You guys are just conditioned to be counterculture and hate anything with the color scheme red/black that likes to kill.

>>88651656
Daily reminder that /SS/ was the biggest jobber of the galaxy, being one of the few dark siders getting BTFO by a kid with barely any training

>>88651685
Vader probably went back to Coruscant and raided their house of all of her belongings, dresses, necklaces, makeup, and keeps it in a recreated room in his Castle.

>>88651686
>They may just get him to do the voice.
That's what I'd do. Get someone to play the body, have him masked for most of the movie, with Tem doing the voice. Only have one or two brief scenes of him unmasked and just do a digital mask to make him an age-appropriate version of Tem.

>>88651165
I'd love for Death Troopers to be the canon version of Phase Zero Dark Troopers, which they already have tons of similarities according to the visual guide

>>88651726
Sure thing, keep buying comics thinking that.

>>88651726
>Like playing holochess and getting spiteful at losing and trying to shock him by shaking his hand. Using mindgames and sarcasm to freak out the enemy soldiers because Vader wouldn't let him put blood drainers in the droids.
Both are still just variations of "tee hee I like torture." It also doesn't change the fact that the character stopped being funny very quickly.

No wonder you hate everything if you're still stupid enough that you buy comics.

>>88651760
Or just keep his face in the shadows, like Judge Dredd.

>>88651760
Daniel Logan has surprisingly kept his resemblance to Morrison, which rarely happens with child actors playing young versions of adult actors. They could use Logan, but the only problem would be his voice- he's like 30 and definitely looks 30 but he still sounds like he's 15.

How do you introduce Sheev into rebels /swco/?

>>88651923
You don't. Not unless you want to make him a jobber

I wonder if they'll do anything with Vader's castle in the sequels. Sounds like the kind of place Kylo Ren would mess in his big boy pants if he could buy it on the market. Assuming, of course, it wasn't destroyed.

Mustafar is pretty remote and I imagine the Empire dealt with the local miners.

>>88651923
Have Vader/Tarkin/Thrawn reporting to him in person. He really shouldn't get too directly involved in the action, just have him on his throne giving commands.

>>88651881
Though the only one who seems to buy comics is you if you're a threepio apologist.
Also "le u guise hate everything XD" is not an excuse for your crappy HK-47 wannabe

>>88651939

I wouldn't be surprised if only for the fact that it's a huge fucking waste to introduce it in Rogue One and then never use it again because Vader is dead.

Maybe Kylo goes there to find himself and sees Anakin's force ghost?

>>88651923
He's already been in Rebels.

>>88651960
>Though the only one who seems to buy comics is you if you're a threepio apologist.

Nigga none of that sentence makes sense

You like C-3PO so you must buy comics?

>>88651939

>Daniel Logan has surprisingly kept his resemblance to Morrison

Eeehhh. I wouldn't say he looks like him much. Decent looking chap, no doubt. But I don't really think he looks like Morrison.

Though, he may not necessarily have to. Different lifestyles, different experiences. With a little makeup for scar tissue and whatnot, they could totally play the Picard and Shinzon card. With Boba's incompetency for his job and blind people, I figure he's probably busted his face a lot more than Jango did.

It wouldn't be unprecedented to have Boba not look 100% identical to Jango even though he's meant to. The "younger" clones were played by Bodie Taylor, who looks even less like Morrison than Logan does.

>>88652192
Doing what? She has no real reason to be involved.

>>88652035
>>88652199
Yeah, I could live with Logan as Boba visually, but that voice doesn't work.

>>88651982
I assume that you're not a pirate fag and that if you like the character then of course you're reading the Vader and Aphra comics

>>88652215
They could go relic hunting and cross paths?

>>88652215
Fixing old droids, of course.
They could tie her to the upcoming Geonosis arc, since it looks like she may have been there before.
Hell, they should have tied her to the recent Last Battle episode.

>>88652192
Eh, she's not that interesting on her own.

I recognize that it has a lot of flaws but Phantom just instills me with this childlike glee. Partly, I'm sure, because it was the first I had ever seen in theaters but even objectively it just feels the most like "Star Wars" to me of the PT. Which I know is weird because everyone hates it because politics and shit. But TPM feels like an adventure to me. Everything on Tatooine is pointless but it's so interesting to watch I love just paying attention to the backgrounds and seeing everything that's going on. When it comes to world building I think Phantom is one of the most successful. Naboo and Tatooine are just such great Star Wars locales. Love Qui-Gon as a greyish Jedi too. He felt more like what I expected the Jedi to be as a kid. Not these strict political tards on Coruscant. Plus it has a great ground battle, great air battle and great saber fight (Duel of Fates is in a three way tie with Han Solo & the Princess and Binary Sunset).

Basically I just find it more enjoyable. I can rewatch Phantom any time. I really need to be in the mood for 2/3.

To be honest, I would like to see a Fett movie thinking about Bounty Hunter. We could see the gritty underworld of SW on the big screen. Like Rogue One, we could get an edgy Star Wars movie that breaks rules in a PG-13.

I wouldn't mind seeing Boba walk into a bar, break some arms and toss some credit chips to a stripper before walking out. After R1, I want to see what else they could do. And it gives us a chance to see SW without Stormtroopers, Rebels and all that jazz.

This is why this general is a laughing stock.

>General Hera Syndulla was described by her cohorts as being a cold and distant woman. She lived alone with a C1-10P Astromech Droid aboard the Ghost, a heavily modified VCX-100 light-freighter which had gained notoriety in prior years for it's activities against the Empire.

>With Sabine having departed the crew to assume responsibilities as Mandalore, and the death of Zeb in the jungles of Drumund Kass as well as the disappearance of Ezra and Kanan after the formers betrayal of the Ghost Crew , Hera now spends often extended amounts of time alone. While there has been motions to have her dismissed from the Rebellion at large, her early contributions to the rebellion are simply to great to dismiss.

So Aphra is like, the new canon's Mara Jade?
I don't mean as a character - I wouldn't dare to compare the two - I mean that Aphra seems to be the new EU's most popular character: looking at her Wook page, she appears in practically every Darth Vader comic, and the first OC to get her own series. Whereas Mara was (arguably) the old EU's most popular character (other than Kyle, Thrawn and Revan, but she's the only girl in this list)

>>88652969

People are sick of Boba Fett. He was a nothing character in the OT that was only liked by people's pre-conceived notions that he "stood up to Vader" even though Vader immediately told him to basically shut the fuck up. Only liked for his 'cool' armor, which is a mess of brown, green, and yellow, which Jango and the Clones do significantly better and who is ultimately killed by a blind Han Solo spinning around wildly.

Then the EU decided to turn him into some magical speshul snowflaek Jedi killing badass the Galaxy over who controlled an entire warrior tribe who could do no wrong, and he survived a Sarlacc Pit.

Boba Fett has always been liked for either being completely useless and pointless or because he's a speshul snowflaek gary stu.

>>88652963
>Yoda and Young Dooku
This is the one I want most but probably the least likely to happen. Even if they make a Yoda movie Dooku probably won't be mentioned, let alone appear.

I'd argue Asajj is more the Mara Jade. She is a beloved character who ends up turning over a new leaf and ultimately fucked by her dumb ass boyfriend who ends up making stupid decisions.

A movie loosely based on Darth Plageius, telling the story of the rise of Darth Sheev and the fall of his master and making the entire prequel trilogy work, is the only spin-off that we need. Everything else is merely what we want.

>>88652988
It's hard to tell just how popular she is, but they seem to be promoting her a lot.

>>88653055
>People are sick of Boba Fett
More like neckbeards are sick of Boba Fett. His merchandise still sells a ton and he's generally extremely popular with casuals and normies, i.e. most people.

>>88653110
No, a lot of people are sick of him. That isn't just "haha neckbeards". Yes, Boba Fett is popular, for exactly the reasons I said, otherwise the entire fanbase is split on him 40/60 or so. With the fans being very vocal of their love of him.

The Mandofags are by far the most 'neckbeard' out of everyone though. They throw autistic fits about everything or any mention that Boba isn't a Mandolorian while someone like Sabine is, and are likely going to throw a bigger fit when she ends up Mandalore.

Boba Fett has never once deserved the fanbase that he does based on what he has done or how he has looked compared to Jango or the Clones. Jango does more in his piddly 20 minutes of total screentime than Boba does the entire OT and still has a better armor colors scheme by leaps and bounds.

The only reason a Boba Fett movie would ever happen is for merchandise, that's it. Not because most people want it or it'd be a good story, but because of merchandise. That's it.

>>88653188
>The only reason a Boba Fett movie would ever happen is for merchandise, that's it. Not because most people want it or it'd be a good story, but because of merchandise. That's it.
That's true for most Star Wars.

Sheev Palpitine (Danny Devito) is a galactic chancellor leading an idyllic, peaceful life on Courcucant

Sheev also happens to be the star of the most popular live show in holovision history. The only problem is, he doesn't know it! In fact, the entire planet of Courcucant is a complete fabrication; a massive set surrounded by a protective dome that produces the most sophisticated effects and imagery to mimic the sky, weather, and temperature of the real world. Set just off of what appears to be the core systens, the dome is run by a massive staff hidden just beyond its barriers and managed by the artistically eccentric Director, Jar Jar Binks (Ed Harris). Jar Jar has filmed Sheev since just before his birth and sees the project as a ray of hope; a way to truthfully portray a person's life nonstop while maintaining their innocence.

>>88653103
Well, I think if she hadn't been received well, the sales of Darth Vader would have dropped, and they wouldn't have given her more appearances, least of all a spin-off run of her own.
So she's probably very popular.

>>88652567
Oy vey.

>>88653273
Not sure if Vader sales are a good measure of her popularity

>>88653228
Not really. Yeah money is involved and merchandise honestly, but everything else actually expands on the story of characters that the series has largely revolved around.

Boba wouldn't expand on almost anything beyond Han or Vader. Vader which we have plenty of and would just undermine Boba the entire movie, and Han we're already getting a movie about anyways. A Boba movie would just be absolute needless pandering for the sake of it and not for the sake of actually trying to expand the universe and franchise.

Nobody even knows who the fuck Aphra is. She was just a co-star in the Vader comic that most people probably didn't even read.

It would definitely be a Clone Wars character.

I think they want her to be a breakout star but are forcing it too much rather than letting it happen. I like Aphra but I don't think she warranted a solo series just yet- they should've given her a secondary role in another book to see how well she works without Vader, and then give her a solo book.

>>88650460
Not thrilled about it to be honest, but it'll make a shit ton of money. Casuals love Boba, and even a contrarian like me can't deny that he's at least cool

He's usually one of the reliable high-sellers, though I think he's taken a backseat lately in favor of TFA stuff and Kylo in particular. No idea if Boba merch is still as hot as it was before but I can't imagine him suddenly doing poorly.

Then again, merchandise and popularity sometimes have a weird relationship. Han for example is consistently a popular and well-liked character but his merchandise tends not to do so well.

Why the fuck do you think Disney paid 4 BILLION dollars for Star Wars? They didn't make TFA because they wanted a good story; they wanted to make more than 4 billion dollars.

>>88653612
Once you get past the current hype machine for TFA and Rogue One, there's still a pretty sizeable amount of merchandise for Boba. It all depends on where you look.

Came close to getting a jacket, but settled for an LE pin of him standing in front of Slave One

>>88653510

Good. Everything about the Christmas Special is based

>>88653756
>I think it's great that Marvel is moving outside of the main cast, but why Aphra?
Yeah, this is how I feel. I love the idea of a comic-originating character getting big and having their own series, but I think it's way too early for Aphra. She IS the best candidate for it, but that's not saying much since very few of the comics-exclusive characters have had a chance to really stand out. They're trying to do this too fast.

>>88653582

The comics industry regularly fucks over their readers. And at this point Disney only keeps them alive out of tradition. It's not like they make money.

>>88653807
I guess that's probably true. But I just wish it was anyone but her.

Speaking of, a Padme series could be pretty cool.

>>88653756
>>88653827

She's just not interesting at all. She BORDERS on mary sue level in that she's just so smart she even out-manipulates Vader and he gives her special treatment and she manages to control these two murder droids when nobody else has been able to for thousands of years. Every appearance in Vader was her snarking and being five steps ahead of everyone she dealt with.

She literally the Batman of Star Wars when it comes to prep time. She knew EXACTLY how Vader would try to kill her to set herself up to survive it.

>>88653827
I wouldn't mind a rebellion series led by -- or at least featuring -- Evaan from the Leia comic, who we later saw in Life Debt. She was a good supporting character.

>>88653827
>They're trying to do this too fast.
This. Even a character like Ahsoka, who's the biggest character to come out of the animated canon, it took her a while to really catch on. There was merchandise for her sure, but the fandom took years to really warm up to her on the whole, enough for people to actively want Ahsoka stories as opposed to just being willing to sit through an Ahsoka episode here and there.

January 7

>>88653866
I just still don't know what her purpose is to Vader's story.

I read all 25 issues, and I still can't wrap my head around why she exists. I think she'd be much better as a solo character (we'll see) than as a companion to Vader, because their relationship was stupid as hell. I liked the parts where she was off running around on her own though.

But BT and 000 can fuck right out of here now.

>>88653913
ah. ok.

>>88653827
>>88653878

It's too early for anyone to have an opinion so the mini-series will go away and she'll be forgotten immediately. They definitely played their hand way too early. She feels so incidental to Star Wars as a whole right now. They'd have better luck bringing back Cad Bane or somebody for their own comic. Aphra just doesn't have an interesting gimmick at all that would allow her to succeed this early. She's just normal human girl.

>>88653918
>But BT and 000 can fuck right out of here now.

>BT and 000 can fuck right out of here now.
They're really not that bad. We've had far more obnoxious and irritating characters in the past 40 years.

>>88653946
They can probably make the series work by focusing on the lore/exploration parts of her job, but even than that does nothing to improve her character or make her stand out. Even her personality has no hook to it- she's just a snarky girl in a medium full of snarky girls.

Her dad's only had one issue to really do much and already his somewhat autistic, enthusiastic approach to history is more endearing than his daughter.

>>88653866
>She knew EXACTLY how Vader would try to kill her to set herself up to survive it.
To be fair, her reasoning is right. If she hadn't been made as a threat like she had in being captured she probably would have gotten the saber. But since she made him go through hoops to get her back theres no reason to expect mercy.

Im more curious as to how much is publicly known of Vader, if she knows so much about him.

>>88653918

I like BT and 000 actually. They bring some levity to things and it's fun to see Vader deal with their lightheartedness in his stoic way. The entire exchange where Triple 0 wants to modify droids was gold.

It's Aphra that needs to go. She just feels out of place. I can't help but feel Vader wouldn't let someone jerk him around and fail that many times even if they were useful. It feels like "Oh this is my self-insert Aphra she's really smart and badass and she's so cool that Vader even likes her and works with her.

I think it's her casual demeanor. To their credit I don't think its hurt Vader's presence but it just feels wrong for some bratty girl to be cracking wise around and to Vader like she's not respecting him and intimidated.

>>88654033
The part about her faking him out and using a reverse-psychology "please don't throw me in the briar patch!" trick on him is probably the least objectionable part of it. What really makes it stupid is that she was able to plan her survival so perfectly.

>>88654033

My issue is Vader isn't the type to inflict suffering without reason. He's business as usual. Choking and the saber are his go to. Aphra wouldn't be worth the extra effort of finding a unique way to kill her. He shouldn't be thinking that hard. It should just be "You've outlived your usefulness *sizzle*"

>>88654080
Because she betrayed him to save her ass. People forget he was orginally going to choke/saber her but she held out on info on Luke to get out of it.

She's a classic psychopath. She studied Vader very well psychologically.

>>88654015
>we've had worse
That's not really a high bar. I don't mind them as characters, but they were stupid as hell with Vader.

>>88654042
At this point she is a mix of Indiana Jones and Han Solo. She seems like she really enjoys being an archeologist. But she really does it for money. I guess you can say her defensive mechanism for being scared is quips, which is a common thing for the scallywag character.

>>88654122
You didn't read my post. The part about tricking him isn't the problem- the part where she perfectly plans her survival out the airlock right down to the time, place and even distance is that stupid part.

>>88654140

See I can accept that I just feel like Vader would have slapped her around a bit more by now and commanded some respect. Vader's biggest tool is the fear he instills. He would 100% not be okay with some girl holding leverage over him AND acting like she's on equal footing. He would immediately use a show of force to put her in her place.

>>88653913
>Got the lazy eye
heh

>>88654218
Looks like his model is a mix of Forest and the TCW look. The eye does help sell it.

Though now he has green eyes for some reason. Maybe they'll explain why his eye color keeps changing.

>>88654017
She likes cooch, so there is that for Marvel

>>88654085
Vader is very much about wrath. He goes to Tatooine to murder sand people because his mother died because of some of them. Aphra kept information from him, forced him to expend resources to get her back, distracted him from his work, and attempted to betray him to his master. Theres little reason to think he would not deal with het in a way that she has said she is fearful of.

>>88653103
It seems they want a female Han Solo without any restrictions of being related to the movie cast except Vader. Although outside of being Vader's sidekick she doesn't have much going for her and I won't be surprised if her comic sells like crap and gets cancelled 10 issues in.

>>88654244
I'm glad they got Whitaker to voice the character. He felt a little wasted in Rogue One, so it's cool that he has a chance to do more with the character.

Shame the same can't be said of Max von Sydow, who was an even bigger waste.

That's the thing though. Wrath. Not careful spiteful planning. He goes to Tatooine and just cuts a swath through sand people. He doesn't rig up a Rube-Goldberg machine to do it.

>>88654302
Because its an actor playing a cartoon character.

>>88654314
He saw Lux fucking Steela's corpse, when Saw confronted him Lux said "the Empire told me they'd kill me if I didn't do it!"

Saw screamed EEEEEMPIIIIIIIIIIIIRE into the night and he's been waging war on them ever since.

>>88654360

Why are you using concept art instead of actual movie shots

So we're all in agreement that the problems of everyone in the galaxy is ultimately Qui-gons fault, right?

>>88654550
i member when all i knew about old man ben is that he was a clone wars veteran.

george was developing that canon the whole time since ANH..

>>88654650
No.

>>88654650
If the Jedi Order weren't arrogant and stagnant, everything would've been fine. They NEVER would have walked into the Clone War.

>>88654650
Qui-Gon dying maybe. If he had been alive he would most likely been the perfect master for Anakin and Sheev might never have been able to sink his claws into him.

If Qui-Gon hadn't found him Sheev eventually would have.

Can you imagine a teenage Anakin with all that power inside him but UNTRAINED and uncontrollable?

1. He'd have been even easier to manipulate to the dark side
2. Disturbances in the force would immediately be on the radar like an air raid siren

>>88654650
More like the whole Jedi order. They were decadent and overconfident. So much so their enemy was right under their nose the whole time.

China has historically not cared much for StarWars. Is the inclusion of more asian characters for this film going to change this? How long until Hollywood abandons western audiences in general to favor the larger population of Asia? Will George Lucas get the last laugh with the franchise he built and sold out of spite?

Find out next time on Dragon Ball Zeeeeeee

Considering how well the PT films did in Asian, I would disagree with you.

Asia

>>88655107
God dammit, guys, that STILL isn't either of the droids you're supposed to be looking for.

>>88655200
China isn't all of asia.

>>88655318
You dont know their orders, anon.

>>88655200
You're both right. Star Wars hasn't been very big in China because it just hasn't been officially shown there. They were exposed to the PTs first.

They do enjoy the PTs but at the same time they don't have Star Wars as anywhere near the pop culture phenomenon because their exposure to it has been much lower. Then TFA wasn't even released when the rest of the world got it (as I recall they were already maxed out on foreign films since they only allow so many in their market per year) and now Rogue One is opening next year for them but not too delayed. Very early January.

>>88655332
Stop making excuses for them. It's clear they ain't found shit.

UPS btfo

Fuck them, they broke a package I had sent.

Anyone else feel like RO started out as a book series and got rushed into being a film instead? It honestly feels like they tried to cram in too much and the pacing is all over the place. Characters I feel like were meant to have more...character, introduced and killed off within minutes and it came off wrong. If it were maybe 2 decent sized books I'd like it more.

>>88650405
maybe it's in a different part of the planet, or it's a different time of day, or the weather is different

>>88655658
Well... There was Catlyst, so it was really one book, and one movie

>>88650405
I wondered that myself. Almost wish they'd said it wasn't Mustafar, stuff looks way too stable and clear to be it. They could have said Oricon and it would have matched better, I think.

Still a badass crib, though. I wonder how the staff got picked to live in that place, like were they all Sate Pestage's cronies or did they collect resumes?

>>88655658
I don't know how you'd turn one suicide mission into a series.

get well fisher

>>88655658

Backstory is not what we needed imo, contrary to what so many "critics" will try and have you believe. Rogue One did very well with show don't tell or at least tell only what you need to.

You don't need Cassian's life story because you can make it up yourself knowing that he's been a rebel since he was 6 years old and has demons.

You don't need the life story of Baze and Chirrut. You can make up the rest knowing Baze is a disillusioned guardian who used to believe and Chirrut is the last remnant of a group who worshipped the force.

And so on and so forth.

I find it strange because nobody ever criticizes ensemble movies like the Italian Job and the Oceans series despite the fact that those movies are just character archetypes doing a job.

There's this strange idea that Star Wars has to be high art and not just dumb fun on the same level of Oceans 11 and the like.

Fundamentally we knew the crew had to die and that this movie wasn't about the characters but the mission. Now if we're talking TFA then lack of character is a valid criticism because the main series IS the character driven movies.

>>88655753
It was more than a suicide mission, there was that meeting with an informant, the pilot being captured by the radical rebels, the story behind all of them as well, Rey being in that labor camp, etc. The movie touches on 10 different things so very briefly and makes it look like something much more than it ends up being. It feels like the first 45 minutes of the movie shouldn't even be there

>>88653913
I wanna know how he lost half his limbs and apparently most of his innards. That's some shit I want to see.

>>88655810
agreed.

look at the OT, even. you get almost zero backstory for han and chewie, other than they're on the run from Jabba. you get very little backstory for Leia, besides she's a princess (of what?) and a rebel asset.

The problem isn't a lack of backstory for these characters. The problem is they were written and acted well enough that the audience got ATTACHED, and now they're gone. Which means that the movie achieved exactly what it was supposed to.

>>88655810
I agree with you. What I enjoyed most about R1 characters too was they didn't need too much explaining. Just small comments summed their entire characters up. See the scene where Cassian, Baze and Chirrut talk about spirituality, faith and loss all in a span of a few minutes. You got Cassian was guilt ridden and and Baze has a major crisis of faith and no matter what Chirrut still is a believer. We didn't need a long winded backstory, we got something simple and significant.
