Star Wars Rogue One [Warning contains spoilers]

A fuck it, after thinking some more I have to give it 7.5/10. The way they killed Krennick was laughably bad, and Donnie Yen's sidekick was simply a deus ex machina character.

I just didn't want a re-run of last years internet spoilers. I didn't get spoiled last year since I attended the premiere and EU got it first. However, I saw spoilers all over the internet the day after. This year people just didn't give a shit about spoiling anything. So I guess I over-prepared.

Darth Vader barely shows up, everyone die etc.

I liked the girl. Her character is actually very beliveable, she acts like some older ladies act when they are stubborn to defend something they believe in. It didn't make sense at first, but when you think about it, everyone has to be young at some point, she just didn't get a chance to grow old. She is very sexy too.

I also liked the hyperspace kool-aid scenes because now I know how that feels thanks to the X-Wing VR Mission in Star Wars Battlefront. I had to buy the game just for that, but good thing it was on sale before it came out. It was totally worth it.

Driving a X-Wing into hyperspace and killing a bunch of tie fighters is one of the coolest things you can do in VR. I make everyone that visits to experience it because it is that cool.

Those guys that were about to go into hyperspace but crashed before into the bigger ship that was just coming from it was a bit too much, but hilarious nevertheless.

That Chirrut Imwe guy that was praying the force constantly made a lot of sense too as he represents well how advance spiritual people are before they for real shift from their faith paradigms, right before they reach the awaken level. I think he crossed it right before he died, but it was too late at that point, it didn't matter anymore because he managed to do what he believed was his purpose. In fact they hammered that message over and over again with almost every character, which is a great message that makes perfect sense with the Star Wars universe.

The Darth Vader scene was very cool indeed. It makes you want more.

Also it is cool to read the intro letters at the beginning of A New Hope after the movie. One can finally make a mental picture of what all that entailed.

I pretty much agree with you Dan E. Kool that Darth Vader scene is better than the rest of the movie.

lukefonfabre388 It's Obi-Wan, dude.

I saw it with a few friends last week and quite enjoyed it. Solid story, and I like that it was filmed/told in a different format to the other movies. That gives me some hope that the anthology films will be able to play around with the format and setting a bit. Likely seeing it with my father and different friend later in January as well and looking forward to the re-watch.

@dan.E.Kool I think I would enjoy a Vader movie set just after episode III, as he basically just adjusting to his first days as Vader, but an anthology movie could be good too. I've heard the new Darth Vader comic has been received very well. Maybe something could be adapted from there.

I'm not sure he'd work as a protagonist for a whole film though. Vader always seemed to work best when he was used sparingly. Maybe 3 short Vader stories in an anthology. similar to what they're apparently doing with the young Han Solo film.
