I've seen like zero hype for this movie... does anyone care? Is it going to be bad?

What got me thinking about star wars today was I think people would consider episode 3 a good Movie if Anakin slaughtered Jar-Jar when he turned evil.

Lots of hype in the Star Wars thread......

I have not yet decided if I will see this in theaters or not.

In that trailer it makes it look like Leia always knew her dad was vader? hmmm.

Just got back from seeing it. I liked it.

Ok, I'm ditching the spoiler tags because if you are coming in here without seeing the movie first, you kinda deserve what you get.

Anyways, they already have an actor for the young Han Solo film.

DONT CHOKE ON YOUR ASPIRATIONS

I loved the CGI Tarkin. The CGI Leia was ok. Did anyone else think James Earl Jones sounded off? I thought it was another voice actor at first.

Last act of the movie was hot.

I did yes. His age was showing in his voice. His thick african accent was more audible than is normal for his Darth Vader.

The Tarkin CGI was fine, I thought. You simply could not tell the story without Tarkin... I thought he looked good

It took me out of the film a few times. Reminded me I was watching a movie. But I think it looks great. As good as any CG character has ever looked.

Loved K-2SO as well. Reminded me a lot of the various droids from the Old Republic games (RIP expanded universe)

I told my dad he reminded me of HK-51


KOTOR is totally cannon though, they're still making the MMO so it toally counts

Apparently the film had a different ending originally planned according to the director.

Plenty of shots in the trailer from some kind of alternate ending, though

Everyone had to die.

I hope Marvel does a Cassian Andor comic book series..... cancel the Poe Dameron comic to make way for it.

Pretty good movie. Didn't care about any of the characters tho

I like how they never stated that Asian was a former jedi. Leaves everything up to the imagination.

Only other character I really liked was the traitor pilot dude. Everyone else was just okay. Awesome story.

Feel like they made this movie to explain why Luke was able to blow up the Deathstar since it was basically a running joke for 20 years.

Doesn't explain why the second Death Star also had a critical weakness

Rogue 2

I'd assume only because it was still under construction when it got blown up. Whatever security measures the Empire used was probably only meant to be a temporary thing like the shield base.

Thought it being under construction was a trap to lure the Rebels in, but it was in fact fully operational.

Think it was both but still unfinished in terms of overall work.

Emperor fooling the rebels was also meant to help Luke turn faster to the Dark Side by crushing whatever hope he had left.

Destructively maybe. Have of it was clearly unbuilt however.

This quote works in so many ways in or out of context, I'm surprised it isn't a meme already.

His sad devotion to that ancient religion helped them conjure up the stolen data tapes.

Yeah, Wash knocked it out of the park. Drew more feels for this bot than Sonny, and K-2 wasn't even a main character.


Unrelated: I also had no problem with CG Tarkin. I thought it was pretty cool to add an integral actor post mortem. Hell of a send off.

Could be wrong, but i could have sworn I saw an HK droid in the mass of people at the trading outpost in the beginning.

Pretty excited to see this. Going Christmas night

I wish old Shinsuke Nakamura had lived.

Jar Jar Tarkin took me out of it. Should have filmed him from the back for the most part. Also seems wrong to violate Peter Cushing in that way.

- By "old Shinsuke Nakamura", I assume you mean Donnie Yen's buddy with the machine gun laser? If so, they don't really look anything alike other than they are Asian and have long hair. I guess that's "enough" for you, though.

- I would like to request you stop using the term "Jar Jar Tarkin" as it doesn't really make sense. I think you are trying to go with that he is an "out of place CGI character", but what it really does is conjure images of Tarkin running around being "annoying" and "borderline racist".

Asian, Long Haired, grizzled look and likes the color red,

She did say "somehow I've always known in Jedi"

That was to Luke being her brother

they asked his family for permission and they were fine with it.
