This was gunna be my next question. How's the dialogue? Any cringe?
I have no idea how to define cringe but there are no "nooos".
There is something that might be regarded as goofy BUT it works well in the context. Of course, this generally applies to scifi dialogue...

I know you prefer RotS to RotJ, so I'm guessing your ranking looks something like this:
ESB
ANH
TFA
RO
RotS
RotJ
...which would surprise me, because I didn't realise you held TFA and RotJ in such high and low regard respectively.

Empire, Star Wars, Force Awakens. Then this. And this is really close to TFA.
Also, almost all the dialog that you heard in the trailers isn't present at all in the movie. If like, half the visuals in the marketing never made it to the final cut, It's closer to like, 80% of the dialog in the marketing isn't here at all.
I skipped past everything they released after the first trailer but damn that seems kind of silly now if this is true.

So very much like the Original Star Wars. That's good to hear.
T-minus 2 hours and counting and those 2 hours are going to feel long.
Came back from the theater 30 min ago, at first, I didn't like how the movie begins, it was too cliché and badly acted, it was really boring too and then it escalated quickly and then the movie started to be incredible. The last hour of the movie is just fantastic and the space battle is the biggest and the best of all the saga hands down, Vador is legendary and the fan-service is done great, better than it was in episode 7.
Honestly, the movie is better than SW7, it's more mature, it take more risk, have a great diversity in the cast and situation and what is the most important to me, it feels like the OT, a great movie, love it, I'll give it a 8.5 or 9 out of ten, I need to rewatch it to decide if the score will go up or down but go see it, it's wonderful.

It didn't need to be told, but it's a story that long time fans have wanted.
My review won't drop until the end of the week, but my initial Twitter impression still stands.
"This is the StarWars prequel I've been waiting for since I was 10 years old."
Rogue One slots in nicely with the OT. I liked TFA, but I liked RO more.
100% agree.

It wouldn't be Star Wars without hokey dialogue
There's a difference between cringy and something that works in the context, though. The OT/EP7 doesn't have any cringe that I remember.
Yeah, the series isn't known for having Tarantino dialogue. I never had an issue with the stuff that was said in the trailers with that in mind.

Definitely don't come into the spoiler thread right now.
Hey Bobby, good to see you back here.
More importantly, where does Rogue One rank among the SW spinoff films? Meaning the Holiday Special, Caravan of Courage, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, and The Clone Wars.
After 32 years is Caravan of Courage no longer the best SW spinoff movie?

It's a misconception only native 3D can be good. As long as the movie is shot with 3D in mind it can be great (and I would argue some that weren't can be good too). You can't spot the difference between native and conversion.
Rogue Ones 3D isn't essential. First half I actually regretted going in 3D (though I am a fan), but then came that third act...
it's at the top, my current ranking of the movies is :
Empire Strike Back > ROTJ > Rogue One= A New Hope > TFA > .... All > 3, 1, 2.
4 Best?
Rank please.
Is not like TFA right?
Full of cliche pandering trash is it?
Rogue one feels like the prequel you always wanted but at the same time not entirely Star Wars movie while absolutely being a Star Wars movie.
I think I enjoyed it more than Force Awakens, although TFA is perhaps the better crafted movie as a whole. Say what you will about the parallel story telling in TFA, it doesn't really suffer from any technical movie-making niggles.
Rogue One has the stronger emotional resonance, at least for now. It's a bit unfair because TFA isn't it's own thing as in a single story. It is part of a trilogy so in that vein it's unfinished.

I have no idea, but I am hopeful!
This is how Chirrut Imwe sees it.
Assuming the scene wasn't cut,
Jimmy Smits showed up as Bail Organa

I'm trying to decide whether to watch it tonight or after I get home from my showing tomorrow.
If you haven't seen Rogue One yet, maybe watch new hope one last time to see it in the light that you always have but will never see again after knowing the events that lead up to there.

You can spoiler tag the answer to this, but I have to know: Is it just fighters, or is it all out fleet vs. fleet of capital ships with clever strategies? I love me some capital ship fights and space battle tactics.

Was going to go next week, found out I can in fact go tomorrow night, and lo and behold the 10:15pm IMAX showing isn't sold out yet. Everything else is though. They usually give out freebies at the theater here so hoping for at least the poster.

You in NA or Europe? The IMAX AMC posters aren't coming until Sunday for the people wanting that sick Vader art in North America.

NA. Not going to an AMC though, but again the theater here always gives out goodies so I'm hoping for something lol
Is this for real? Better than ROTJ? Almost TFA?
Judging from your posts here last year, I'm more hyped now.

The soundtrack just shipped today. Yay. It's one of the few big soundtracks that haven't leaked early. TFA leaked like a day or two beforehand, so that one was locked down pretty good too.
It'd be almost embarrassing if it weren't better than ROTJ.

Why? He did contribute to the film after all.

You had pretty low expectations didn't you?
Nice, can't wait since I love ROTJ.
Yep, Gareth Edwards didn't inspire much confidence for me and I thought all the trailers were pretty mediocre. I left the cinema awestruck, I actually couldn't believe what just happened. For fans of the originals, this is heaven.
