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

[Darkseed]

It works unless they need to show flashbacks of the OT cast with different folks portraying the characters then watch the **** hit the fan....

 

[Prime Clone]

Ive said that years ago and i remember some of the guys here said a remake of the prequels wouldnt be possible because it would piss off everyone too much and that it would be too confusing. That it would mess up the storyline too much

Specially because force awakens and now rogue one were built with nods to the preques.

Yes, the prequels are well and truly baked in to the canon now. Eps VIII and IX will only make that more so.

Those who hate them should just move on and focus on the future.

Prime Clone thanks for inspiring my new user title.

I don't necessarily hate the prequels, I hate parts of them. But there is some potential there. I mean they are absolutely horrible, but from a story angle, they could have been decent. RO decent even, maybe.

Prime Clone thanks for inspiring my new user title.

Glad to be of service!

(Now if I could just figure out how to change mine to "Georgesplainer"...)

I think the prequels are made up of several awesome sequences that don't necessarily hang together very well. I was disappointed with TPM but found steady improvement with AOTC and ROTS.

TPM > AOTC

Go home Prime Clone.

 

[Platty]

TPM is the best prequel imo. It has more of a real world look to it than ROTS and far less cringe worthy moments than AOTC. And it also has the best lightsaber duel in all of Star Wars. In my opinion.

I know it has jar jar, but...

Shutting up, sir.

I know ranking TPM last isn't popular around these parts, but there's a significant body of opinion to that effect. There are also a lot of people (myself included) who reckon ROTS is on a par with ROTJ.

OK, now I *really* should go home.

 

[DiFabio]

Sith and Jedi are about on par with each other. I wouldn't argue against that. Jedi's advantage is that it has the familiar faces of old friends, Jabba and such.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It will be interesting as a new generation grows up just how far the PT is left behind... or will it resurge?

If Disney has its way, it will fill the minds of young viewers with so much new stuff that the PT is no longer "half" the films, but only a measly 3 forgotten oldies against the 24 Disney films to come.

 

[KitFisto]

Finally saw this. Loved it. Much better than TFA.

 

[crows]

One of the things i loved the most was how even between rebels they didnt trust each other.
How some of the rebels became too extreme or radicalized.
I liked how they were suspicious of each other. Made it so much more real.


I liked how they were not just the good guys but they had their dark side as well.
Their complicated relationship was better than just the "good guys are good the bad guys are bad" that force awakens gave us.

The fact that some rebels were jerks was pretty interesting.

OT will always be classic and untouchable. I can't imagine the first three ever being dragged down by all the Disney crap. Then again, generations are getting older . . .

I use merchandise as a measurement of what is popular. Obviously Darth Vader is top dog followed by the likes of Luke and Boba Fett. Prequels, I dunno. As far as collectibles and merchandise go, I bet icons like your Mauls, Obi-Wans, Jangos, Grievous, Clones, Palpatines outsell and are more popular than your Reys, Finns, Cassians, and First Orders.

I think it'll be one of those things that people have nostalgia for, but they'll admit they're not actually very good and that the childhood nostalgia is all there is.

I'm an OT > PT guy, but I'd agree with that. Like DiFabio said though, familiar faces count for a lot.

Glad it's not *too* radical an opinion round these parts!

Did you see it unspoiled or did you already know that there was going to be a big space battle and that everyone would die.

Yup, another valid reason why it was good.

You a smart youngling there crows.

Unspoiled, but figured that's what would happen. Knew these characters couldn't survive this film.

 

[Khev]

That's awesome, especially if you didn't know there was going to be a space battle. I mean seriously, keeping a ROTJ quality space battle with modern visuals a *secret* until it plays out on screen? I never would have imagined that I could ever experience such an event totally cold.
