Does Rogue One detract from A New Hope?

[GasparZizou]

. . .

"Rough One" is a bad film even by PT standards.
And outside of Tarkin's scenes it adds absolutely nothing to "Star Wars".

RO definitely enhances ANH.
It paints a complete picture, it gives better background. RO makes darth vader much more threatening and dangerous

RO explains to us why everyone was so afraid of vader showing.

If anything it makes the duel with obi that much more intense, we know how much vader can do but te fact that he is so restrained with obi only helps to demostrate how threatened vader still felt after all this time.
How careful he was

It's also refreshing to have a Star Wars movie without a frickin' Skywalker!!!

Without jedis for that matter.
We get to see how the regular people work to defeat them without any magic

I am one with the Force.... but the Force is done with me.

He wasnt one though, he only thought he was, hyped himself about it.
He was just a regular guy with a lot of conviction.

His power of suggestion towards himself is so strong that he did powerful things, but thats how powerful his wil and belief was.

Rogue One only detracts from ANH if you allow it to.

My friend dragged me to it and I fell asleep. I thought it was a real turd. No really....I hated this movie.

Doesn't make any difference to ANH though....it only "counts" if you want it to count. I don't.

I don't see why it would. It's not like Rogue One is canon anyways.

 

[Wor-Gar]

After One billion dollars, it's canon, baby.

Look for nods in the Han Solo movie -- like an appearance by a K-2SO type droid.

 

[a-dev]

It's Ion canon.

That's the spirit. You'll find that the continuities we cling to depend largely on our own point of view. I once thought I could accept the prequels just as much as the OT. I was wrong. They're more CGI now than celluloid. Twisted and evil.

Hmm Rogue One-isms in HS. That actually hadn't occurred to me. Probably because HS takes place what, 10 years before RO?

Perfect time to establish K-2SO type droids... since they only last about 10 years before they totally disappear.

Saw Gerrera's group would be around then too. Maybe Two-Tubes in a cameo.

Emilia Clarke plays a younger Jyn Erso who gets dumped by Saw and then temporarily joins the crew of the Falcon under an assumed name, lol.

Do you really think Disney won't start connecting its own 'canon' together...? Independent or not, Lucasfilm understands what their boss wants.

A Kaytoo-style droid cropped up in this week's Star Wars comic.

And Luke and Leia visit Jedha in an upcoming issue.
