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

[ZaCHw117]

I just saw Lala Land and, after it was over, walked into Rogue One and saw it for free. It was right before Cassian shot that dude.

Director Neal Marshal's RO review is a good one:

Rogue One - Star Wars films are nothing if not divisive. Not that surprising given the legions of passionate fans that have grown up with the saga for the past 40 years. It’s a unique phenomena and is worth having a little heated debate over every now and then. If The Force Awakens was a love letter to the originals, it also had its heart firmly set on seducing a whole new generation of fans. Rogue One feels like a different animal. It’s absolutely made for us 1st generation fans, a Star Wars movie for grown ups, and no apologies necessary. Certainly it has its flaws, but so did Force Awakens. And yet despite them, I’m still suckered every time. I just love spending time in this universe. I’m now looking forward to Star Wars being a yearly Christmas tradition, like Lord of the Rings was for while. With Rogue One, Gareth Edwards has delivered a war movie, the Dirty Dozen in space, and why not? After a meandering first act it picks up the pace, and leads to one of the best finales of the entire saga - a space battle to rival Endor, a ground battle to rival Hoth, Darth Vader kicking off and finally showing us why the rebels were right to be scared ****less of him, and a resolution that is true to the story yet still manages to be triumphant. Can’t wait for the sequel…. oh wait.

"Can't wait for the sequel... oh wait"



Awesome.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'd say no chance of Jyn and Cassian's survival since the movie actually shows the blast wave enveloping them.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I started wondering if they may be Rens parents?

 

[Darkseed]

Rebellions are built on hope......besides Cassian gave a bit of a sideways look right before they were engulfed so never say never

[Wor-Gar]

Ren's parents? Really? Did you see TFA yet?

My 'slap' emoji is because of the constant fan-conspiracy nonsense where everyone in the galaxy is related. It gets silly. So it gets slapped.

 

[Khev]

I assume he meant Rey and not Ren as in Kylo.

 

[hoodonit00]

Deleted. My mistake.

I thought Wg's slap was because they were both caught in the midst of a blast from the Death Star. Those two were atomized. I don't think atomized people can make babies anymore.


They were not caught up in the act of desperately attempting to escape. They were sitting on a beach awaiting their destiny.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well even Rey... it's Luke's daughter. What would make you think Rey is Jyn's daughter and somehow Luke got ahold of her?

Which is why I prefaced it with I wondered if they may have got away in the last moments.

I do not think they even left that open to interpretation. They are dead. That's what gave that moment meaning.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Not everything has to be connected.

Once again... I slap you....

 

[rivera2171]

So who else noticed that they used the original pilots from EP IV for Gold leader and Red leader?
Also that Red 5 was shot down in combat which opens that position for Luke later. So much awesome in that movie.

 

[Bustajesse]

At the end they should have shown Saw Gerrera sipping on a shot of Fernet-Branca in Italy. When he looks up he sees Jyn Erso, Cassian and little Baby Rey. Now that is how you end a movie.

Maybe Saw is Captain Panaka's offspring.

Why didn't Emperor Palpatine have kids anyways, Sith don't subscribe to that no love crap, hence Anakin.

Palpatine would've had a ton of women at his disposal.

Maul too!

Maybe Snoke is Palpatine jr.
