Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Were you more or less favorable towards this movie when you saw it after the Andor finale Anon Babble?

I haven't watched any Star Wars movie/series after Return of the Jedi..

It was shit then, and it's still shit. Incredible visuals is the only thing it has going for it.

Jyn was a QT and the Darth Vader scene was cool. That’s about all I think.

It’s a fucking meh movie at best…

But compared to Andor it’s a fucking masterpiece

it's way worse
his old robot buddy he actually met like two weeks ago
all those spies an assassins that volunteered for his suicide mission he never met except melshy
he's apparently rebel intelligence in the movie but it's literally never mentioned
how come he never shows gin the mexican fuck hut outside the temple

I thought it was a bland design by committee movie when it first came out and I'm even more negative about it now that I've seen two years worth of Gilroy's ideas for the franchise.

Star Wars was never good except for Rogue One and Andor

The Prequels are good ideas wrapped in bad movies. That doesn't make them good, but before Andor, I can see why people sucked them off. Andor has completely overshadowed them though. The prequels will always be shit, no matter what, they just aren't as bad as everything else.

OT and ST are exactly the same level of terrible because the ST is just more of the OT. It's a shittier LotR, that's it. Not worth watching. Killed scifi by making it for people with short attention spans. Chinks wisely hate Star Wars and prefer hard scifi like 3 Body Problem and the Wandering Earth. We used to make shit like that, like 2001: A Space Odyssey, before Lucas utterly killed scifi in the west. The OT and the ST are symptomatic of western decay, the 'falling off' of the west and its descent into appealing to the lowest conmon denominator.

Only one reason to watch

I feel like it didn't understand Star Wars. There just weren't enough faggy glowie stick battles and it felt like the director was forced to write Donnie Yen's monk character in just because Disney demanded some sort of reference to the Force. The battles were too visceral instead of looking like something mystical. It was too grounded. There also weren't enough reddit quips and stilted, awkward dialogue. Also, it portrayed the Rebels as actual rebels using insurgency tactics and setting up ambushes and shit. They should have been portrayed as space Gondor with a fleet that could go toe-to-toe with the Empire in every battle. Also I didn't like that the characters all died at the end. Sad endings are like genocide, they don't belong in Star Wars. The seen with Darth Vader though at the end was heckin awesome. I just wish it hadn't taken that entire movie to whip out a lightsaber cause it's not like the entire movie is needed to build up to that scene and everyone just whipping out lightsabers all the time would get old fast and cheapen the experience in, say, other films (or series, especially series) that don't hesitate to do it constantly.

So do we know which parts were Gilroy reshoot additions? I remember that there were a ton of shots in the trailers which never ended up in the final movie.

Cassian and Jynn running with HDD through the beach

met like two weeks ago

K2 was activated at the Episode 9.Tthere is 1 year timeskip between Episodes 9 and 10

Shockingly bad film with a confusing following.

Plot was good enough and meshed up well with the original story. I'd call it Episode 3.5.

GOOD LORD

Slightly more. I didn't like it originally. All that was memorable to me was the bad CG Tarkin and the dumb cameos. When they announced Andor as a show I didn't even remember that there had been a character named Andor. So at least rewatching it after the show I felt something for some of the characters. And it's a pretty good looking movie at times. I have more to latch onto now than being annoyed by Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan.

I liked rogue one a lot aside from the CGI Tarkin and Leia. They should probably try to retouch that with modern deepfake tech.

I didn't know Andor was related to rogue one, I think they mostly called the character Cassian in the movie. How does Disney expect people who aren't superfans to know a bunch of side character names?

I thought they called Donnie Yen's character Jiro until I saw toys that wrote his name as Chirrut

spends 20 million dollars and 5000 man hours...

I am now angry Andor is no more and I will not be seeing more of him.

Star Wars IS Gilroy.
Nobody else knows how to do it properly.

its pretty funny, there is a scene where a guy just calls Mon Mothma, MOM. I cant believe they haven't fixed it.

The other guy with the big blaster and the Asian were rushed especially their deaths
The pilot deserves a better death to because he was a good character. Once he serves his purpose in the mission they cut him and the other two out like they're used tissues

It's the best Star Wars movie since Empire Strikes Back. And that is tragic.

VIC MACKEY KILLS COPS

HE DEALS DRUGS

HE BEATS SUSPECTS

I liked it at release but rewatched it a few days ago after andor and I found it kind meh. The pace os really weird.

Return of the Jedi and all the prequels are still better

prequels are still better

the stick guy and the big gun guy seem so random. like they just fall out of the sky and join the plot and get no real development.

Rogue One is like the Titanic of Star Wars movies. You know it's going to end bad and so you don't really get invested in the characters. Andor is like if they made a prequel to Titanic. Seriously who gives a shit?

One of the Chinese guys didn’t want the role but his son was a huge Star Wars nerd and begged him to take it.

Gilroy said getting stick guy back for rogue one reshoots was a terrible experience

Why was Season 1 so much better than Season 2?

because covid allowed for more rewrites

It had good pacing and was willing to keep everything connected. Andor S2 was closer to a four-part anthology than a continuous season.

"Captain, we've intelligence that the North Atlantic Ocean is building a new weapon they're calling 'The Ice Berg'"

"Not on my watch they're not! Set a course!"

*trailer bwaaaang*

In theaters this summer

Where were you 9 years ago when this movie released, and where are you now?

Andor and Jyn could've survived.
