Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (12/16/16) *SPOILERS*

[GasparZizou]

You can't make me forget, in fact, I just bought the games on steam

 

[jye4ever]

I remember liking Shadow of the Empire and the Phantom Menace pod racer game. Those are the only SW games I've played .

Best SW games were Rogue Squadron 1/2, Jedi Outcast, Shadows of the Empire, XW vs TF, KOTOR, Battlefront 2 and Republic Commando.

But if I could only own 1 SW game it would easily be Rogue Squadron 2, best SW game ever!

 

[RIDDICK]

Yeah I have all 5 of those figures.
Other than the Ralph Macquarie concept figures, those are the only Expanded Universe figures I bought.

It happened, IT HAPPENED!

Classic.

I always loved the aesthetic of Dark Forces. Unfortunately my aging 386 couldn't handle it at the time and I never got to play through it myself.

I have to say, there was a time when all we had were the Brian Daley NPR radio dramas, Zahn's original trilogy books and those Xwing vs TieFighter and Dark Forces games.

The original "X-Wing" was a massive wish fulfilment game when it came out. In fact "Khev" was the name of my pilot character that I played through from beginning to end. Loved it!

But if I could only own 1 SW game it would easily be Rogue Squadron 2, best SW game ever!

THE reason I bought a GameCube! That game ROCKED!

Same reason why I bought the GC and if rumors are true those 3 RS games might be showing up on Nintendo's new Switch system in HD! The only reason i'll buy the Switch lol.

Please Lord and baby Jesus, let that be true.

Khev did you ever listen to the NPR shows?

Thank you for reminding why SW was fun with these games, sure it's hard to remember nowadays.

Finally saw RO today. I loved it. From start to finish. Best SW film I've seen since 1983. Fun and deeply moving.

So there.

I wasn't aware of them when they were released and didn't have access to them until much later. But I did listen to those records that came with the little story books that would play sound effects and dialogue as you read the books.

Tee hee.

 

[Star Puffs]

So I saw this today, my first movie in the theater since my daughter was born in April.

I absolutely loved it from start to finish. As some will recall, I have been scathingly critical of TFA, which came close to ruining Star Wars for me, and rarely enjoy a blockbuster to this degree.

Congrats on your daughter and glad you liked it. The first 8-10 months after each of my kids were born were theatrical wastelands for me too.

I'm just watching RLM's review (I'm guessing it was already posted), they're hit and miss for me, but oh god, I'm starting to like the movie a little less that's why I never trust my reaction they're pinpointing every gut feeling I had and every thing I noticed but didn't think about because I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt.

I was telling myself that maybe I missed some things but apparently not, a lot of people seem to point out the same things I was trying no to think about, and apparently it is that lackluster of a story and characters.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Very happy to hear Star Puffs loved Rogue One too.

Just doing my part.

Honestly the only thing that bugged me was

Spoiler

the speed with which the Rebel fleet reaches Scarif.

I would have tried to tweak the handling of time in that case. Everything else was within reasonable demands of suspension of disbelief.

Diego Luna could talk to me with that sexy accent all day. I hadn't seen him anything but Y Tu Mama Tambien that i can recall.
