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

[Wor-Gar]

Sounds like a great party.

That is, until Krennic shows up wanting information about the Sports Almanac.

"Sorry Ladies. Party's over Vader."

If only Krennic had those fantasy balls you have given him.

Did Genisys get nominated for Best Visual Effects last year with its 1984 Arnold recreation? If not then I could see Rogue One getting overlooked as well. My guess is the award will go to Civil War with it's combination of young RDJ and airport battle. If not CW then The Jungle Book. Unless Dr. Strange was really spectacular which I still haven't seen.

 

[jye4ever]

Definately not Strange, does not deserve it.

I would be ok with with JB, CW or RO getting it.

I did appreciate RO trying to give all the space vehicles a large scale model sheen to them, they all looked great.

 

[ZaCHw117]

civil war hands down does not deserve it, it has some of the worst CGI i've ever seen for a big budget 2016 flick. good movie though.

 

[Darkseed]

I'm going this weekend again.

Me too.....bump up those totals

 

[jye4ever]

For Carrie's daughter.

Man, is Princess Leia really gone...ughhhh.

 

[Darkseed]

She is with us.........always

 

[abake]

She died of a broken heart . . .

Gotta be rough to be by your daughter's death bed and having to pull the plug on her.

Don't be getting ideas, Padme's death is still completely ****ing ridiculous!

George Lucas was truly ahead of his time.

Actually, there is a thing called "broken heart syndrome", so yes, Lucas was right.

[jye4ever]

Well she was having mini strokes during the past year, she nearly died before Carrie.

But yes, stress..aka broken heart..can absolutely cause physiological changes.

The broken heart syndrome is very real it's just that most people are healthy enough to handle those changes when they occur.

Seeing your kid hit by a car is going to cause physical damage on you even though you weren't hit.

But **** that dumb movie lol.

 

[DiFabio]

To be fair, Padme was getting choked out. She might not have gotten any oxygen to her brain.

The ooba ooba droid should have told Obi and Yoda that she died of a broken neck.

No, Lucas was not "right." If Padme really suffered from such an episode then the medical droid should have described symptoms similar to that of a heart attack, not "physically she's fine" or whatever it said. And it still wouldn't change the fact that she was a new mother who gave up when 1. By her own admission she still believed that Anakin was good and 2. She had two newborn children who desperately needed her.

So she believed there was hope for her husband and hope for her children yet she was all "goodbye everyone, I'm out." Never go full Talia. Never.

Yea, its a thing suffered by 85 year old widows whose husbands of just died (It pains me to think that this may have had a hand in Debbie Reynolds' death). People whose bodies are already weak and have one foot out the door and are just ready to give up.

Not perfectly healthy 25 year olds who just gave birth to two children and had every reason to live.

 

[jye4ever]

Obi-Wan should've taunted with Anakin, after he choked her out Obi-Wan should've told him:

"You know I was doing Padme behind your back while she was prego with your kids, or hell they're probably mine lol"

 

[abake]

Well, it's a movie after all...

 

[pixletwin]

Well she had just been physically abused by the father of her kids and witnesses that same father killing children and waging genocide on a thousands of years old institution. I think it's crap too, but there you go.

Luke is really Obi-Wan's son.

What a twist.

She never witnessed the younglings being killed, she told Anakin that "they're saying you killed younglings".

I always wondered when she asked him to go with her to live out in peace raising their children if she didn't believe what Obi-Wan told her (easily fixed by showing her the video) or was she trying to trick him into surrendering to answer for his crimes.

I'm sure she believed Obi-Wan but it didn't phase her because child slaughter was what attracted her to Anakin in the first place.

 

[GOTnerd]

Just saw the movie yesterday, have avoided this thread until I saw it......and you guys are talking Revenge of the Sith

Anyway, it passed my expectations. Really loved the way the Aliens looked, Death Trooper talked and all the OT goodness. Amazing!

Would rep if could.
