Got to see the new Star Wars Rogue One

[9mmfan]

My son and I are going Sunday. Bought tickets days ago.
I betting it'll be EPIC!

Great movie. So far Disney has done a nice job with the series. I was very skeptical at first, but their first 2 offerings have been pretty damn good.

I couldn't agree more. I didn't think they would do well but they seem to have not messed this up

I had some issues with casting/story line but I have been with this since the 1st.

I might be a bit to picky.

Saw the first showing in Imax Thursday night at the state museum. The other Imaxs in town don't hold a candle to that one. One of only 15 theaters showing the movie on film in the nation. Local 501st Legion was there in costume, Rtv6 was doing interviews. Great time, awesome movie.

Also got to see a ~ 5 minute long extended preview for Dunkirk which was also filmed in Imax. Looks like it's going to be awesome also.

NO spoilers... but was it better than the force awakens?

This is the movie I was looking for.

Gritty and what the empire was always supposed to be.

I thought it was better.

I went and saw it yesterday. I thought Rogue One was better. I felt the force awakens was nothing more than a complete copy of the old movies. I mean it was pretty much the exact same concept just that the WMD that everyone was focused on was bigger.

I was at the 10pm showing there. This one had a feeling to it that hasn't been in the Star Wars movies since the originals. I absolutely loved it.
And I agree, Dunkirk looked awesome on that screen. The gunfire in that trailer rattled my seat!

Hands down!

Saw it last night.....will see it again over Christmas break!

Go at least once. The screen wraps around your field of vision and the sound system will vibrate your seat.

Are you sure you weren't just farting?

Absolutely better than Force Awakens. Best Star Wars movie since Empire Strikes Back.

Is this the same girl from the last one. I can not tell from the trailers.

I thought the same thing, they look awfully alike

However the time frame doesn't work out, time frame when Rouge One takes place the girl from the last one hasn't been born yet

That was my understanding but they look very similar.

 

[Hkindiana]

I still haven't seen the last one

There was more than ONE?

You didn't miss anything... Force Awakens was pretty bad.

It's basically A New Hope, except Darth Vader is a whiny millennial. It actually does have its moments, though.

Yep. They could have really used more of the Legacy of the Force story line/character development and it would have been better. They took the most basic premise from it, but then killed it with their complete lack of character development for their villain. "If" they do something real with Kylo from a character development aspect in the future movies that connect to Awakens it might be interesting... but for now it is not. It would have been really good had they had it have the story of Jacen & Jana Solo, as well as Ben, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker, but sadly that was not to be.

I had some issues with casting/story line but I have been with this since the 1st.

I might be a bit to picky.

Me too... and reading many of the books from the extended universe that are now not Canon makes me even more picky.

I don't think that would be hard to pull off...

No

They look similar, but no. Rogue One is set before the events of the original trilogy (Episodes IV, V, VI). The one released last year is Episode VII which takes place after the original trilogy

I may have to go and see this one again, best of the Stars Wars Series, gritty. The Forces Awakens was crap.
