And the one big kudos thing back to the original episode IV film, the Star Destroyers (or similar to that - slightly smaller versions) had near enough the same lighting effects as seen with the use of models in the original film.Just got back and I am impressed! Yes some CGI but it was done extremely well.
I have NO problems with this movie and see it as a perfect episode 3.5.
Explosively good
Well it would had been awkward if in Force Awakens Hans/Leia kid was racially different to themOh great, another movie where the heroine is the main badass, does everything better than any male possible, with a racially dense universe where the evil empire is led by caucasian men. Terminator Genysis, Mad Max, Force Awakens, ugh... we get it, women are the stronger and smarter gender... What I want to see is an obese white single 45 year old bi-polar woman that had multiple abortions in her past, conquering the world/universe where bad guy is a non-caucasian male.
I'll be honest. I'm an 80s kid and I've watched the original trilogy about a 250,000 times, I'm not exaggerating.
Maybe I've outgrown Star Wars, which I loved as a kid. I had no interest in Force Awakens. Same for Rogue One.
Finally saw FA on DVD and agree with those who thought it was a pale remake of New Hope.
It's Megalith. He's the news troll.Is it Opposite Day because I've heard nothing but good things about it?
The Alt-Right hates this movie and of course they do. That's where the deceit comes from.

"the best of George Lucas’s “Star Wars” entries (“Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”)"
Didn't read the article (haven't seen the movie yet), but this is a joke right?
I stopped reading when they said Attack of the Clones was one of the top two Star Wars movies.
Just got back from watching it. Damn good movie. Very excellent.
Really? You might check out gay porn. Dudes are always front and center in those. It's not a feminist film. Not every story has a strong male hero, some things do deviate from that wet dream. I like the change of scenery in films where it's not the stereotypical white buff dude kicking the asses of some other big buff dude and getting all sweaty and dirty while their clothes fall off. Give me Felicity Jones or Daisy Ridley any day of the week.
No spoilers but this is what I wanted to see as part of the prequels. The last few minutes were just amazingly perfect.
What is the deal with the comparisons from the "alt-right", etc..? It's the same story line from 1977. Why are there people comparing it to modern politics? (serious question).
It probably helps to draw more women into movie theaters regardless if they're a feminist or not. Race doesn't matter but they're still marketing most big blockbuster films toward white audiences due to higher ticket sales. In 20 or 30 years that might change.Rogue One is pretty much a feministic film (from my observation), as with The Force Awakens (heroine lives in a desert planet, and can fly the Millennium Falcon without being in one ever?!? Was the flight controls designed by Apple?). The main hero easily could have been an asian guy, or a guy with a native American background, that would be very refreshing, instead.. we get the same cookie cutter white badass fit female kicking everyone's butt. Why not give her slow reflexes and a sense of humor + butch blue haircut along with some muscles and tattoos?
You do know that women have legs and can walk out of the kitchen, right? Stop being butthurt that they don't cast you as the hero.Gay porn? Why aren't feminists blasting the gay porn industry for not having enough female roles in them?

It's cool that you and many others like the movie, I just don't get these new movies. Also you have one awesome username, not kidding, I chuckle each time I see "Ur_Mom likes this", never gets old hahaha
The director of “Rogue One,” Gareth Edwards, has stepped into a mythopoetic stew so half-baked and overcooked, a morass of pre-instantly overanalyzed implications of such shuddering impact to the series’ fundamentalists, that he lumbers through, seemingly stunned or constrained or cautious to the vanishing point of passivity, and lets neither the characters nor the formidable cast of actors nor even the special effects, of which he has previously proved himself to be a master, come anywhere close to life.
Is it Opposite Day because I've heard nothing but good things about it?
Wow, really? I cringed every time CGI Cushing was on screen. Completely took me out of the experience. It's a good thing CGI Fisher was only on the screen for a few seconds at the very end because she was even worse.I liked it, more than I liked TFA. The absence of all the jedi/sith/light-side/dark-side stuff gives this movie a different feel, which I liked.
Regarding the CGI characters, I honestly did not even notice one of them. I thought to myself, "Wait, wasn't this guy in the original SW film?", but I just didn't realize what they had done. Considering they can do this now, I'm surprised they couldn't enhance Darth Vader's voice to sound a little less like old James Earl Jones.
spoiler alert: there's going to be a sequel(s)! December will never be the same. There will be a new Star Wars movie every time around Christmas for the next 3-5 years at least.
Uh. There's already BEEN a sequel. It's called "Star Wars" (or more colloquially "Star Wars Episode III: A New Hope").
Ep7 was an extremely high production and well executed remake of Ep4. I liked it but it was still a tit for tat remake. Kylo was pretty stiff but still way better than 95% of the prequel acting.
Ep1 George Lucas just shit all over the mystique and mystery surrounding the Force and the Jedi.
Ep2&3 OMG Jedi battles! Finally! Too bad the story was awful (NOOOOOOOOO) and could such great actors have been used any worse? (AnakinLucas, you're breaking my heart)
As to Rogue One, the lack of crawl surprised me but maybe only official EPISODES get them? Tarkin was juuuuusst on the edge of the uncanny valley; it bothered me a bit at first but I must have gotten used to it. As others here have said, we're inches away from completely convincing CGI realism now. This is most certainly the most WAR of any Star Wars movie. The final battle was certainly the most intense and realistic (well, considering it still is Star Wars) fight yet in a SW movie.

Interesting point and that is another similarity between TFA and Episode IV and maybe deliberate (not suggesting they are story-line related); Luke Skywalker in the 1st film was also like "I can do everything".Umm, did you watch the movie? Cause it was none of those things.
Jyn was much more realistic in that regard and not like Rey "I can do everything" from TFA. The other people in the group all brought their own skills and aiblities to the group dynamic and werent' there to be useless

Episode IV, but you knew that.
