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

[ZaCHw117]

So you're saying the final box office figures were...hidden?

a major movie drop is imminent.

RO managed to avoid mentioning the Death Star was originally Trade Federation tech, but the latest episodes of Rebels trace it back to Geonosis. Forest Whitaker even guest-voices Saw Gerrera!

I know DiFabs was about to put that lightsaber somewhere else.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

That's probably a skinny dude.

 

[Wor-Gar]

A manlet. Or NuMale.

Yeah, show us something more clear, Tony.

 

[ZaCHw117]

so true

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well there it is. If you look close you can see thru the trooper's eye lenses.

A couple things:

1. Rep to karamazov. You know why.

2. I got an email from my local 15/70 IMAX theatre that Xander Cage will be playing in their auditorium beginning January 19th. So anyone who wants to see RO one more time on the biggest screen possible you've got 9 days left if there's one in your area.

Just came from seeing this again. Someone near me said that Rogue One is the Hobbit to the OT's Lord of the Rings.

Yes, he didn't have as big a role as I was expecting.

Ok, now that everyone has watched RO one can appreciate this more, just go to the 48 second mark and laugh your ***** off:



Seriously it never gets old watching that.

Cushing goes from really scary to really funny and just look at Guiness during Chewbacca's arm lolz!

Man those troopers slipping on the floor, belt falling off, leg stuck on the door lol.

 

[DiFabio]

I appreciated all that before ever seeing RO thank you very much.

 

[jye4ever]

Oh definately, I meant that more for the younglings here to get a kick out of Tarkin.

Isn't just mind blowing seeing that raw footage, it gets me everytime I revisit it.

8:34 mark oh man lolz

11:00 mark

I agree with Khev that the most cringe-worthy moment was the CG Leia. One of the problems is that the film ends on that note. And so, forget the story as a whole, the way you begin and end are going to stick with people. Walking out of the theater, that is what sticks in my head despite a lot of the other stuff that was good. And that taints it to some extent. Seemed unnecessary. Downey, Jr. was done so well in Civil War, and these are both Disney movies, so I don't know why it didn't work as well here. But. . .it didn't.

Another thing that I thought would be kind of cringe-worthy, but surprisingly wasn't was Ghost Dog. He had the potential to ham it up in a Predators/Lawrence Fishburne kind of way, as the grizzled old nutcase, who somehow survived hiding from the bad guys for countless years because he was so nutty. But, I think he pulled his role off very well.

On a related note, I remember seeing him with close cropped hair in the trailer. Did he have that in the beginning of the movie? Or was a change made with the reshoots maybe? I was thinking about that in the theater.

Cgi Leia quality is not enough to taint that ending for me, every screening has ended with thunderous applause!
