And surprisingly he's attending Celebration for the first time this year.
Don't you mean "Bronson & I"?
Also I always knew you guys were soulless machines
I remember when I attended Celebration Orlando in 2012, I decided to not pay to speak or get a picture or autograph with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher because I thought they would never be in a Star Wars film again. There was pretty much no line too.
Big mistake. I did meet with Peter Mayhew and talked with Ben Burtt for 20 minutes though.

Don't make me post a Mr. Plinkett pic. I don't want to hurt you but it's so damn tempting.
Best pilot in Rebellion and guy who needs a tv show or movie about his Rogue Squadron
I think he's in rebels as a kid,, but I had no idea who he was supposed to be.
Agreed on the score. William's work probably elevates it above the series other battles. But I still enjoyed Rogue One's battle a lot.
Doesn't help that Giacchino had so little time to work on the project.
Confrontation on Eadu is great though.

Rogue One's score has some serious layers, though.
Someone who actually works for Disney/Lucasfilm just retweeted and replied to this.
So I guess it is confirmed this is actually happening. Congrats griffy for cracking the code.

Yeah he in rebels he was in both Death Star battles and lived
yes
Imo ROTJ is the gold standard, and neither R1 or ANH are anywhere near it.
R1 and ANH have excellent ones, sure, butvthey bothbare extremely flawed.
ANH has WW2 avionics to the max, successions of groups of fighters/ bombers going in the trench to get shot down one after the next, no Star Destroyer coming in complement to the Death Star, which for a space station the size of a moon has a surprsingly small contingent of Tie Fighters).
R1... They jump in with 0 plan except send some fighters through, the Rebel capital ships provide No cover fire that we see (glaringly obvious from the Nebulon frigates, which can be tough mothers), the Star Destroyer is disabled by ion canons as if by pure luck (they are actually surprised!), and the gate while having a really good complement of fighters to protect it waits forever to launch them.
Also... What is a Corelian Corvette with Princess Leia doing in the belly of that Cruiser doing a suicide attack?
Rotj, in comparison, has it all (except the air/ land assault, which is a major redemption for the R1 battle imo).
The plan which was sound with their (bad) info is thwarted, rebels are in disarray/ pincer maneuver by Star Destroyers/ Capital ship fight + fighters and Death Star attack / New plan to focus attack on SSD (bigly referenced in R1, complete with busting into nearby Space facility), and then you have the legendary run inside the structure of the DS.
I can't even imagine how anyone can place any existing space battle above ROTJ.

We're waiting in line for the convention, I guess.

Whaaaat? 'Hope' and 'Your Father Would Be Proud' are fantastic without taking the rest into account. Giacchino did a great job.

Is this from "I love the 90s"?
I think he was just referring to the space battle part of the score?
*This feels like the moment people start trying to say Episode 3 is better than Jedi*
They're wrong, btw

Both of those happen during the space battle, though.

Is this the Bobby Roberts picture thread
Only if we continue to incur the wrath of God
Yeah I was just thinking that after I posted it. I love both of those tracks
but how can that be if they're just the same movie
Nah that's kind of boring now. It was novel when you first saw it cause it was a single shot. The big pan that follows a single particle effect crashing into a star destroyer like it's some prominent moment kind of sums the excitement of that sequence up.
