Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

[悟飯]

George Lucas has no more involvement with any Star Wars movies starting with Episode 7. Since he sold the rights to Disney. he surrendered the rights. he has no control in the direction of what movie Disney wants to make. if he still had control of these rights standalone movies like rogue one wouldn't be made. because george is too stubborn and he said he didn't like doing these types of movies. thats why when he sold lucasfilm to Disney it opened up a lot of opportunities for Disney to have a fresh take on the movies they want to make

 

he tried to hand over his version of ep 7 but disney rejected it.

thank goodness for that. at least succeeding movies wouldn't be God Awful like those Prequels.

 

and to explain the lack of the story crawl in rogue one. there should'nt be any. its not a main story arc to the episodes. thats why its an Anthology. expect Disney to be making more of these standalones like the Han Solo standalone in the works

I only watched the film once. I liked it in that it has a different, somewhat darker tone that the main SW story arc. It even strayed away from being Disney-esque in that all the main protagonists died. The original trilogy, and even in the SW Rebels series, the rebels are portrayed as goody-goody. When Cassian killed the informant in cold blood, it shattered that image.

 

The cameo of Princess Leia towards the end seemed forced to me. In SW ANH, Leia was telling Vader that they were on a "humanitarian mission" when Vader's star destroyer intercepted them. In Rogue One, it showed that they were being pursued since they left Scarif.

 

And, RIP General Princess Leia Organa Solo.

i hope someday they'll remake all the starwars films except rogue one

Donnie Yen was fantastic. I'm glad his kids talked him into being part of the movie. I think Chirrut Îmwe had to be force sensitive. How else could a blind man be a kick-ass warrior monk?

No, just no. Disney better leave them alone especially the OT.

 

And just to make this relevant here--when will the DVD be released? Heard it would be end of March/first week of April but that might be in the US.

I second this. Please, Disney, leave the original trilogy alone.

 

I think Rogue One was quite interesting, albeit not as exciting as episodes 4-6. Nonetheless, it's a good support movie to new Star Wars audiences.

Hi,

 

Was a fan of star wars but for rouge one it seems that i was bored and slept during my viewing, I dont know why but I find the story very boring. It seems that I have seen all the gadgets and technology that they are using maybe this is why Im bored. It was dragging and every scene seems to be " have seen it" effect. Maybe the director has a different view from the original story, am not sure either. Never finished rouge one and decided to watch other movies. Just my opinion lang naman but did you really enjoy the story ?

 

Thanks

The point of the "anthology" movies is to explore new directions in which to take the franchise. It's expected that not all of these non-Skywalker Saga movies will hit the spot for all viewers. Rogue one sought to emphasize the "war" aspect of star wars and I think taking it back to the galactic civil war era and answer a few lingering questions was a good choice. It also got to portray a darker side of the Rebel Alliance. My opinion of Rogue One is that it ticked off all the boxes on what I wanted from a Star Wars movie (space battles, stormtroopers, new starships, new droids, a dash of the force), and I consider it to be the best Star Wars movie so far.

This is the only saving grace out of all the bad movie releases since Disney acquired the franchise. Solo flopped. The Rey/Kylo Trilogy was bad

[Din Djarin]

Apart from this, The Solo is a good one too. Waiting for that Kenobi movie.

All of these after the 1st trilogy would have died in-between as footnotes...if not for The Mandalorian...Jon Favreau makes sci-fi gold because he makes you care about the characters again...
