Andor didn’t fix it, this movie is ass

Yeah lets make a film based a story that was devised to sell merchandise with a bunch of geriatrics pretending to be their younger selves

Krennic feels like a missed opportunity given how much more fun he was in Andor

Yeah lets make a film based a story that was devised to sell merchandise

Yes, maybe then they'd actually sell some. Nobody bought Rose Tico dolls or whatever.

geriatrics

Just do the cameos with lookalikes+cg, it's fine.

Well I think his part in andor was them taking advantage of the missed opportunity, since this came out first.

I disagree, but I also liked the vader scene.

Andsnore didn't explain how palpatine has so much power. ok so he had a clone army once but they're long gone. and everyone just accepts that he's the ruler of the galaxy now because... reasons

The soundtrack is ass if anything. Completely ruins the movie and makes it feel cheap.

Rogue One alone is better than all the sequels

Rose Tico didnt appear in Rogue One, you fucking retard

The prequels and andor have him manufacturing a lot of consent via backing the separatists, turning public opinion on the jedi, and false flagging and propagandizing against the ghormans. I don't know how much the EU covers the lead up to his power grab but I'm sure he did a lot of Alliance Defending Freedom style manipulation of the republics various systems to carve out the levers he ends up pulling to put himself in charge.

They made three movies and a seven season animated tv show explaining that already

where are you going fat fuck??

Right, she appeared in the other star wars movies that failed to move merch. SOTE would have sold toys where the movies they made did not.
The retard is (you).

what about the ewoks? they didn't explain shit about the ewoks!

Did anyone buy her dolls, tho?

Theyve taken one of the best movies and turned it into the worst franchise of all time over decades, people thought surely the crap era is over thisll be a good prequel but no its mediocre

Who ever cared about the specifics of how the Death Star plans wound up on Leia's ship?
Why was any of this necessary?

Stealing the Death Star plans is literally what started the whole franchise

This. It's embarrassing. The fact that death star "flaw" was intentional inside job by Mads Mikkelsen is fucking embarrassing, and doesn't even make fucking sense with the original movie, where to exploit this "flaw" you have to fly through a narrow death corridor, hit a 2 meters wide hole that can be hit only using the fucking Force. It is so fundamentally retarded, on top of going against the themes of the movie. I can't stress enough how much I hate Slop One. Fuck Disney, and fuck all the retarded EU garbage that is filled to the brim with unnecessary, cringe, fanfic explanation for the things that never needed explaining. The original Star Wars movie is a masterpiece, and everything since has only tried to diminish it in some way.

We need shows for every member to show their past and how they joined the Rebellion of the same quality as Andor. Since the characters themselves were by far the weakest part of the movie.

Wtf, I love ass

Star Wars 1977 is so kino just on its own

posting special edition

That aside, the stuff about the ‘flaw’ being deliberate I couldnt care less about being in an EU book, maybe that satisfies autistic nerds more. But I guess getting movies was probably inevitable, should their be successful vidya releases and comics and books. The concepts of SW are good for an expansive franchise and Ive enjoyed plenty for what it is, but none of the movies. Not past RotJ, and that was a stretch as it is.

cameos with lookalikes+cg

You clearly haven't read the source material of Shadows of the Empire. The plot is not the fucking n64 game. Luke, Leia, Lando and Chewbacca are central to the story and Dash Rendar is just a fill-in side character for Han Solo. It's not a stand-alone Rendar film you complete goofball.
And the CGI fuckery in Rogue One was the shit that brought that movie down. Tarkin and Leia looked unbelievable.

Yeah and the opening crawl tells us that they stole the plans. That's it, we know the important bit and the story can unfold from there.
That too, it's just more explanation on something that didn't require elaboration on.
In fact, it's better that the flaw is accidental, it shows how the Empire is so conceited and powerful that they didn't even consider what a single fighter might be able to do against a moon-sized battlestation. Only when the battle was met did some officers start to notice there might be a problem, but Tarkin was overconfident (as he should've been, considering the power differential between Empire/Rebels).
It's a David and Goliath story, retconning Goliath to have been intentionally designed by God to go down when hit by a rock takes away from what the story was.

meant for

Bune :D
Post Bune pls

It's not a stand-alone Rendar film you complete goofball.

Well that's the movie I want anyway.

*tch* the death star plans are not in the main computer *tch*

You say that it relies too much on nostalgia and then you state that Vader mopping the floor with rebels was fun.
That bullshit looked straight out of a videogame and was full blown nostalgia wankery.

oh, shit. nigger got caught red-handed with the bike.
he's just one of those star wars manchildren who wants laser swords and pew pews then dunks on andor with buzz words that they themselves don't know the meaning of.

I think they're saving shadows as some sort of golden parachute

he's just one of those star wars manchildren who wants laser swords and pew pews

Bro, most people want that. Normal people don't care about the artsy fartsy pretentious shit, just pompous dorks. People like to have fun, and watch an entertaining flick.

It is actually my favourite Star Wars movie because I've always loved ST lore and universe, but hated Jedi slop.
I don't know how they managed to make knight-like figures boring, but they sure did.
At least Rogue One is a war movie and not muh force.

pretentious

there it is again. a buzzword. do you even know what pretentious is?

Nah I prefer andors dialogue and would rather rouge one didn’t have Vader and had the tone of the ghorman massacre, that doesn’t mean I can’t go full retard and appreciate Vader killing some people on its own separate thing

I think

You really should try that sometime before posting because the main cast of the OT are either too old or dead for Shadows of the Empire

not muh force

Except for the whole "IAMONEWITHTHEFORCETHEFORCEISONEWITHME" thing they tried to make a hashtag

Meanwhile Kleya was... Just hanging out on Yavin IV?

Tried to re-watch it after andor and couldn't even get halfway through. Ira Belle is not as cute as I remembered.

i was referring to the one being quoted, who complains the movie "used too much nostalgia" while at the same time praising vader's appearance which was there only for nostalgia's sake.
vader's scene could've been removed and it would've affected nothing in the movie.

Yeah but it turned out the monk who was "using the force" wasn't actually and wasn't even force sensitive.
I thought it was cool that he was just autistic and believed that he was a force user.

wasn't even force sensitive

He pinpointed Jyn's kyber crystal necklace across a bazaar.

Yes, Rogue One is not a good movie. Somehow it's still the fourth best Star Wars movie, after the OT.

Why was any of this necessary?

They required a vehicle to do a le resist Donald heckin Trump story but in Star Wars.

Oh yeah, he was somewhat force attuned.

It should have ended after Andor and Jyn got cooked

didn't she get like shot in the stomach or something? Makes sense she'd be totally out during ANH

rogue one is the best disney star wars film, the series is great on it's own merits.

Star Wars - Death Star laser blows up entire planet instantaneously

Rogue One - Death Star causes a large thermonuclear explosion localised on the point of impact

knowledge of source material should be a prerequisite to work on this franchise

the final scene of rogue one to directly connection to new hope made this scene more awkward.
vader literally saw their ship fly away.

Do you guys think Disney is ok with spending 4 billion dollars to use Star Wars as a cultural subversion vehicle to shit on white people

This is correct.

it's okay

they should make a sequel to rogue one

I think there's a whole line handwaving this away. "Lower the power to create a spectacle"
For me it's the ship entering hyperspace from within the planet's atmosphere

how far into the transition are you?

Pay attention to the movie next time, what they did with the death star laser was the redeeming part of the movie

For me it's the ship entering hyperspace from within the planet's atmosphere

What's the problem?

Yes they also did this and within the next two movies there were horses running on the surface of star destroyers

oh, in space mind you

I refuse to believe tarkin would destroy so many of the empires resources for a laugh. A few? Sure. There's being a brutal tactician accounting for acceptable losses and then there's just being cartoonishly evil.

I refuse to believe tarkin would destroy so many of the empires resources for a laugh.

just look to what orange man is doing, its totally believable. Gotta trigger those woke retards that care about planets existing

Before Disney there was actually a relatively standard and understood way for space travel in Star Wars.

antigravity drive takes you out of a planet's gravity well

hyperspace drive pushes you into hyperspace where routes go around gravity wells of planets and stars

In the original logic, going into hyperspace while within a planet's gravity well (let alone atmosphere) would rip the ship to shreds. But then TFA has them entering hyperspace from inside a docking bay, then exiting hyperspace INSIDE a planetary shield (remember Hoth?)

Tarkin was literally a cartoon in the movie so it's fine

this movie always gets a pass from me because of the blind jedi and the Vader scene at the end. finally showed why the galaxy feared Lord Vader

fix it? the movie is awesome

the movie is awesome

do you think anyone's listening?

fix it

fix it? in our moment of triumph?

filtered

I only remembered Jyn's name right off the bat after seeing it in the theater. Even Andor was hard to remember his name and they made a whole series around him.

Luke was the hero of Yavin?
No actually it was because of this girl

I want __ ____ that bunny.

I fucking love her

Luke is still the one who blew up the Death Star. Bunch of guys and girls died for him to make that achievement. Are you that petty?

I watched it 4 days ago and I had to stop and think to remember the main characters name just now

They’ll probably make it about some Mary Sue that learns force powers in 2 days and saves the galaxy. Extremely unearned.

I get that Jyn and Andor were hugging just because they knew it was the end and I feel more for Andor now but still don't really care about Jyn
