Star Wars |OT| I have a very good feeling about this...
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
For IMAX 3D I remember it being somewhat subtle, mostly just depth of field stuff. But with Gareth Edwards it might have something more in there, not sure what sort of work was done in that department. Because of the darkness of the image I'd almost lean towards 2D, unless it's IMAX, then you might be a little stuck with 3D.
(But I can't resist seeing Star Wars in IMAX, so my first viewing will be in 3D, haha.)
Hmm...having a look he did do Godzilla.
Don't have access to a IMAX screen, so yeah maybe I'll just go 2D.
Rogue One OT is up.
MMarson gets the OT title. I have no prize, so you'll have to settle for my thanks.

That new IMAX TV spot sounds tempting but I'm not watching anything else until the film now.

That IMAX TV spot is the best yet - the dialogue's actually beginning to sound like it works, despite my initial reservations.

Nope. Rogue One's been a much tighter ship than TFA. Most of the big spoilers have come from Lucasfilm or one of their employees (lol) and there haven't been many.

Considering this is the noise coming out of the Rogue One folks
This Rogue One Actor Made Sure He Wasnt Another Jar Jar Binks
I'd take that 'starwarsunderworld.com' rumour with a pinch of salt.

It was just posted in the Rogue One OT but I know not everyone's venturing in there out of fear of spoilers.
EW have got a sample of the Rogue One soundtrack.

I am not afraid of spoilers. I embrace them. Already got to flip through the Rogue One artbook for a while. Some really great stuff. Really awesome K-2SO concepts in there.

Wait, I want to revise this theory. (I have a long highway drive and too much time to think about stuff like this). Here's what REALLY HAPPENS:
After Luke lost his lightsaber in Bespin, it was recovered from the ductwork by whoever. They sold it on the black market. His dismembered hand was with it, so that was frozen in a small carbonite container. Whoever bought the hand took it straight to Kamino. Maybe someone working for Snoke? I dunno. Anyway, the longnecks used the hand to clone Luke.
Rey HAD no mother, just like Anakin had no father. It's kinda like poetry.
But maybe Jyn is still her "mother" somehow, I dunno. Adopted or something.
(somebody probably already thought of this.)
Certainly sounds like star wars
Anything interesting like the Snoke reveal from the TFA book?
Freezasaurus

Nah. There's a lot of gorgeous art and some great storyboards of a scene that's no doubt from Jyn's childhood, but nothing super-spoilery. It being an Original Trilogy side-story, they can't get too crazy with the new stuff.
Did you notice if there was anything indicative of the Senate or Coruscant? Pablo Hidalgo said we can expect to see Coruscant again sooner than we might expect but nobody knows if that means Rogue One or Episode VIII.

I might buy the soundtrack for this movie.

Nothing that I noticed. Though there were some pieces noted as "Darth Vader's Lair."

Same but I'll always wonder, what if Alexandre Desplat did the score
When the Disney news started to come out, especially after celebration 2015 Rogue One became my most anticipated film. Yes even over the soon to be released ep 7. This was largely driven by wanting to Edwards war journalistic style star wars, and desplat 's non John Williams style composition. 18 month's later I'm a little disappointed that we likely aren't getting Gareth Edwards' actual vision for this movie, and a guy who was voted "most likely to be a John Williams clone" at orchestra school. Not that I don't think I'll like, or even love the film, it's just been one thing after another.
I think this will be a great Star wars movie, but I wanted the spinoffs to push the bounds of what it meant to be a Star Wars movie.
I'm hoping once they get past the fan pandering stuff like the Han Solo and Boba Fett movies they will be forced to strike out in new directions.
Nice post, great points here. Agreed but we may still get a fantastic score.
Once IX has wrapped, I think that will be fascinating, to see where Lucasfilm and Disney take the franchise. We'll probably hear what's next before IX releases, but their gameplan for the future after these five movies will hopefully branch out at that point. That's the time to make some new characters shine and to tell new and incredible stories! If they stick to what we know and love, I'll still be fine with it, but I'd rather follow a new bounty hunter in the Outer Rim, or see the Old Republic in action, or watch a small scale character piece of a Jedi falling to the Dark Side.

Wasn't there some word about the principle cast of the solo movie all getting options for a 2nd and 3rd film in their contracts? I think we are about to see
2017 - episode 8
2018 - han solo
2019 - episode 9
2020 - fett or another spinoff
2021 - solo 2 electric jabbaloo
2022 - kenobi
2023 - solo 3 and the secret of the hyper drive
2024 - kenobi 2
2025 - episode 10
Im on a self imposed ban on lego because I can't seem to finish a single set but kept purchasing moreClips on Kimmel tonight looked good. My hype for this movie is through the roof.

Literally got an email from O2 saying I won tickets to see a prescreening of Rogue One 
shame i'm working that night....considering pulling a sicky lol
shame i'm working that night....considering pulling a sicky lolIt will be on Spotify day one just like The Force Awakens OST was, so I'm covered!
Spotify has all of the soundtracks, super convenient... oh and the seekbar turns into a lightsaber when you play star wars music. You can click the seek bar to change it to Vader, Luke's ANH saber or Luke's RotJ Saber. Neat detail.

I've had the soundtrack pre-ordered for a while. I like physical for Star Wars OSTs.
Hard to go places without people openly reporting about the first 30 minutes, while spoilres dont affect me as much with this, in that if I hear something im not going to be sad, id rather not hear that much now, I remember twitch was unusable the week of TFA, people were donating spoilers, chat was spoiler spam, had Hans death revealed 3 days before I went ot see it.

Is everyone here watching Rebels? If they deliver on the currently hinted storyline
then this season finale could surpass S2's.
Kenobi vs Maul rematch
B..but the distance! Not acknowledging!
These Rebels, Clone Wars, Prequel Cameos give me life
I already love Rogue One's director, he seems like someone who made his Star Wars homework beyond episode IV
Hopefully no shotguns will be involved.

That's a good point. I didn't know about the multiple films, though keeping the option open makes sense, especially with those two leads. If we're getting a bunch of trilogies... I'm cool with that!

It is indeed. I've only got three chapters to go now.
This guy's a piece of work.

This is a temporary item at Sams Club, only 1 framed for $100. You think it's worth it? I like it but the price seems steep.
My total guess is four, maybe five scenes. I think he'll be the first casualty of the movie (I have a really big feeling that he's the one in the TIE Fighter meeting Jyn at the top of that spire).

I have that poster in my room. It's awesome. Got it for like $10, though
And we're done.
I think Saw will die first when the Death Star attacks Jedha, after which they'll return to Yavin IV for the conference with the Senators. Then the Eadu mission to rescue Galen and he'll probably die there.
Edit: decided to put that in spoilers even though it's just speculation
That could definitely be true, too! The new IMAX spot came out today I believe, I never watched it but the image for it ruined a really cool shot that would make for a great moment (and might be the reason Krennic has that awesome glare), I'm sad that I saw it (
the huge impact site on Jedha from Krennic's view
Edit: Good point, I'll re-edit in your edited post to hide it, haha.
