Yeah, I knew that. I think I just assumed the same thing happened with the first one. My wife was all distraught afterwards and I told her that I expected it but then went to look things up and saw that I shouldn't have.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story |OT| They rebel - SPOILERS

People don't have a problem with a cute little alien here or there. People are fine with Jawas the same way they're fine with Salacious Crumb in ROTJ. It's a silly thing that doesn't really steal focus in a big way. Hell there's a little guy in Rogue One that got a positive reaction in that Jehda market fight.
The difference is you're not beating the bad guys with teddy bears. Or an army of annoying cartoon rabbits when you've already spent an entire movie with an annoying cartoon rabbit being a fucking idiot. The Jawas are scavengers, and they serve that purpose just fine. Then 15 minutes later they all get roasted.
And I don't even outright hate the Ewoks because atleast in concept, there is something kinda behind their involvement. They were supposed to be wookies originally and I can imagine that "non-industrialized native population helps fend off imperialistic bad guys" concept works just fine with that execution. The Gungan stuff completely distracts from everything important in that climax and has little appeal beyond George and ILM wanting to show off their cg.

I don't know what he was saying. Chirp? Cherok? It doesn't help that he was very mumbly and there's lots of explosions and laser fire in the background drowning out a lot of lines

Incredible how all the x wings managed to shoot everything but the huge imperial ship at the bridge at Eadu.
My face turned red and my body got really warm. I excused myself from the group at the cinema and rushed to the bathroom. I pounded the wall with my fists as hard as possible. A bathroom attendant rushed over and asked if I was okay, I told him 'It's fine.'
Went back to my seat and took a long swig of my 120oz Cherry Coke Zero. Awaited any additional fun this Star Wars film was going to shovel into my fucking face.
Day #1586: Today I added another 12m to the tiny exhaust port hatch on the Western hemisphere. Orson keeps asking me what it's for, and I've come up with an elaborate (and very technical) explanation to hold him at bay. For now.
He says "don't choke on your ambition" as he force cucks him.

After finding out that the Ewoks were originally written to be Wookies just made them even worse somehow. The movie would have been so much better, and the showdown on Endor (or Kashyyk) would have made a whole lot more sense.

I liked it more than VII to be honest. Tho that is definitely subject to change. I really liked the ending half of the film. It felt realistic to have the cast fall in what is essentially a war film.
Tarkin's CG was immediately way off for me. I thought it was really bad, and really took me out of any scene he was in.
This droid is 1000x better than BB.
I thought the side characters were all really likable, and I was for sure sad when they all went down.
The Vader pun made me laugh, but it reeeeaaaally didn't fit.
Sol Guerrera (Or whatever his name was exactly) didn't run because he's too old and knew he wouldn't make it
Thought the dialogue between the two MCs after Jyn's father dies was really good as well.
So yeah, I dug the film quite a bit

I wonder if Disney has the balls to pull of a bothans movie for death star two tying to return of the Jedi.
Rogue one was just perfect, a great star wars film. Started pretty slow but it picked up after 30 minutes. It was everything I could want from Star Wars.

Just a fantastic actor. Since I first saw him in Animal Kingdom I've never seen the man not be a highlight in anything he's cast in.

Why bother? The stealing of the plans for the original death star is a far bigger event.

one of them transformed into a great winged bantha and the other clambered on his back and they flew off into the sun bickering about the cost of blue milk in the local delicatessen the one with the buttface said i bet its much cheaper in alberquerque and the one with the lumpy nose said nonsense you can get two for the price of one in tatooine and they flipped a coin and ended up in tatooine and while they were there they bumped into some little whiny sandy hair cunt and his sugar daddy
I'm done. See you tomorrow folks, it's been a blast.
I hope they don't. The "suicide mission to get Death Star plans" story is told. It works even less so considering the Rebels getting away with the info is just part of Palpatine's scheme to trap their fleet.
Absolutely hated that one. I think I've had my fill of obvious nods to other films now. Stop doing it. I've never been a fan of it, just takes me out of the film. I don't mind a character referencing something they've done but anything else is usually rubbish.
Can they stop shoehorning in R2D2 and C3PO as well. They are bloody annoying at this point. I was quite happy watching Rogue One then they turned up. Get on the ship where you are suppose to be and don't say a word.

Agreed. They didn't need to be in PT or in Rogue One. I can accept it in VII but, they're out of place in every other non OT movie.
They are main characters in Rogue One: Two.

They do want to milk the franchise to hell. I'm just saying it's an option. Do a whole squad of only bothans doing whatever. (no humans). You can learn about there planet, culture, etc.
After young han solo I wonder what else will they do that's expanded universe.
I agree with R2D2 and C3P0 they should be nowhere except the originals and episode 7.

Just got out, loved it. Absolutely loved it. There are nit picks here and there but it's a Star Wars movie. This is the prequel movie I deserved as an 18 year old.

I remember I was 8 when I saw AOTC and even then I thought it was an unmitigated pile of Jabba cum.
Didn't rewatch that and ROTS until pre-TFA. Both fucking wank.
Rogue One was pretty good tho. It's no TFA or ANH or ESB or Bad Boys II, but then what is?

I didn't like that part of the story really. Didn't feel like there needed to be a consciously added weakness. Him leaking schematics and sending out a warning as his last act of defiance would be more than enough as part of the "scientist working on super-weapon at gunpoint" character arc. That and transitioning straight into the Blockade runner fleeing the final battle with Darth Vader witnessing it felt like them trying to tie the continuity into neat little bows that they didn't have to. Not enough to torpedo the movie or anything, but I think it was weaker for them.

Lol a Death Star 2 plans movie would be the laziest retread ever. And they're not going to sell a Star Wars movie with only these guys:
They have the Han Solo movie
Boba Fett
Rumored Obi-Wan movie
You could tell a story about the beginnings of the Jedi Order versus the Sith.
You could do a thriller about people trapped on a derelict ship out in space.
You could do a movie about an element introduced in the new trilogy.
You could do a movie about the criminal underworld (actually this is probably what Han Solo/Boba Fett are about)
You could do a movie about almost anything...

So C-3P0/ Anthony Daniels has been in all 8 movies ATM and I can see them trying to get it every movie. But how the hell are they going to get him into the Han movie?? He's not in the rebellion so how could the writers make it not corny AF? Just voice a random ass droid or do like how this movie had a ponda baba cameo?
Maybe he cock blocks Lando?

I think Boba has been
rightfully
Also I think the whole Jedi vs Sith beginning is something that should stay in the EU outside of passing mention in a main film or something. Far too much to cover and i just feel it would be unnecessary.

What's the game plan after Episode 9 comes out?
Are they really going to keep up 1 movie per year, or let the IP rest a bit?

One of my favourite moments in retrospect is when Jimmy the Squealer tells Cassian that he can't climb out of that alley.
I figured he'd given up. His troops were all dead, the city he was fighting for was destroyed, and he was old and broken.
