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

[DiFabio]

Damn prequels ruined everything....

Prequels are worthless. They tell us an inferior story about things we already know and end up contradicting and changing the original story because they can't adhere to what was already established. It's not a natural form of story telling.

The only fun one is Temple of Doom.

True it is obvious but I just kept thinking back to him being a beast in RO then going back to that silly lightsaber throw in ROTJ lol.

I'm the one conflicted lol.

Well keep in mind that ROTJ's flaws in execution are largely going to remain unchanged. It's just the ongoing legacy of such a relatively half-assed production. But RO *does* fill in that important gap of why Vader doesn't follow through on the offer he made at the end of Empire, and that makes the film exponentially better IMO. But all the other flaws and goofy moments will always remain.

Does anyone actually remember the AOTC crawl?

Does anyone actually remember the AOTC crawl?

There is unrest in the Galactic Senate! Several thousand solar systems have declared their intentions to leave the Republic.
This separatist movement, under the leadership of the mysterious COUNT DOOKU, has made it difficult for the Jedi Knights to maintain peace and order in the galaxy.

Senator Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, is returning to the Galactic Senate to vote on the critical issue of creating an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC to assist the overwhelmed Jedi....

I knew that Episode II was going to mean business the moment he opening scroll revealed that Senators weren't getting their recommended 9 hours of sleep a night.

AOTC Sebulba cameo > RO Gold/Red leader cameos.



















NOT!

 

[DiFabio]

ROTS Millennium Falcon cameo > AOTC Sebulba cameo

 

[jye4ever]

AOTC flying droid sticking its mechanical butt hole thru Padme's window and taking a double dump > ROTS Millennial Falcon cameo.

... that silly lightsaber throw in ROTJ...

That was Vader's biggest baby 'whaaa' move.

Not as annoying as "Nooooooooooooooooo!"... but at the time, very un-Vader.

 

[DiFabio]

TPM E.T. Family cameo > all Star Wars cameos

ROTC Millennial Falcon

Also lol

 

[jye4ever]

Are they doing the Nazi salute?

Can we still use the word 'gay' for things like that? Because that was totally gay. If not, I'm sorry... then it was retarded.

Ummmm

yes it was.

But I would rewatch the PT if released in 3D!

 

[Khev]

Every child of every ILM employee getting exactly one cringeworthy line in the PT >>>>> "I know."

 

[Wor-Gar]

Don't pick on my 3D-ness.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Can you "Place The Line"....?


Pee-You-Sa!

 

[DiFabio]

Remember when all 6 Star Wars movies were going to be released in 3D in theaters each year after The Phantom Menace? We would have been at Return of the Jedi this year. Coulda seen Vader throw his lightsaber in 3D.


Would have been preferable to Disney buying everything from Lucas and making their own flicks.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Coulda seen Vader throw his lightsaber in 3D.

Oooooooo.... 3D...

Does anyone actually remember the AOTC crawl?

I don't remember crawls. Not a single one.
They're oldschool and cool but not to the point of tryin' to remember the text.
