I still liked Rogue One better than Force Awakens. It will be quite telling I think if the next anthology film is also better than the main trilogy.Telling? I don't know, AFAIK George Lukas wrote only 9, but many people have wrote many stories around them over the years, as you might know, you can see that on games and if you ever torrent a SW library, or look for what happened before and after of each movie on each trilogy, many stories, but controversial, some overlap, some contradict in parallel story-lines, some amateurs/fans, some claim being cannon, many websites, I gave up, maybe... but The Last Jedi doesn't seem promising specially after Luke tells on another trailer is time for the Jedi to end, we'll see...
EDIT: Trying my damnedest not to be cynical, but christ I can almost hear the KACHING sound when that Porg thing jumped up.
I like rogue one but I don't like kyle katarn being retconned.As part of the EU, he never existed in this canon; there was nothing to retcon.
I don't get why people are psyched about this. It's the crap that anyone would have predicted it to be. I see nothing "new" here.
Jesus, guys, could you be a more negative about a film you've seen a couple minutes of trailers for. Honestly, this **** is entirely what's wrong with "geek culture."

I'm plenty excited for this film. Part of the reason for that is that these new Star Wars films are remixes of the old ones: Sure, that means that they aren't ~original~, but it does mean that there's a solid base there that the prequels lacked. I'm looking forward to the story this trilogy tells; as Mikey Neumann said in his essay about TFA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVZGUV77aRg): This new trilogy does the right things in bringing the same feelings as the original back in a more modern format.
Meanwhile Blade Runner is actually good and interesting and is getting shredded in the theathers. So excuse the **** out of me.
I actually loved Phantom Menace.. One of my favorite Star Wars moviesJesus, guys, could you be a more negative about a film you've seen a couple minutes of trailers for. Honestly, this **** is entirely what's wrong with "geek culture."
To be fair, I think it's a product of the internet's influence on culture in general. If you wanted to ***** about the Ewoks or whatever back in the day you had to hop on your bike, pedal down to the Comic Book Shop and find someone to complain to (who not necessarily was going to agree with you). Now no matter what your opinion is you can find a community just a internet connection away to stoke those fires. I was initially disappointed by Phantom Menace for example, but I don't think I would have developed the keen edge of vehemence for it if it had opened before the internet existed.
While its generally in good fun with pop culture crap I tend to believe the overall effect to more important societal issues is becoming detrimental.

I just saw Rogue One, again, I was trying to remember why I disliked it the first time, and I did remembered: "The Force" wasn't even there it was just intelligent living beings doing the best they could with what they have, same thing as we humans do in this Universe when religions fails every time, noting but a myth, except the blind guardian guy that even being on the "Jedi Planet" and being guardians when the Jedi Temple was operational didn't have much force use, just Kung-Fu and good "aim", nothing like actually applying a force and seeing on other movies, even in little amounts it's a demonstration of it, hence worth believing in it, the girl had a crystal to make a light saber, and she didn't just looked at it twice and when getting the tape she could have use some, at least to safe herself in the end, she just died like the rest, and her mom recommendation of trust in the force was void, many physics and realistic situations failures, crappy boring dialogs and solutions to scenes and situations, you wonder I could have wrote this, I can believe this is a SW movie, it's so simple and dumb and boring, just because is in the SW universe is good? who makes this crappy movies? who let them? Mediocre at best, but people just go for the feelings and what's showing them instead of that but also the logic of things, that creates harmony and a beautiful complete experience, wow I can't believe how little demanding are people when the hype is high and something is famous for their past glories instead for current merits, but I guess that show biz and most people just fell for it, as long as it's entertaining enough... and also true what they say: mediocrity is underratedI don't even understand what you're on about here, but Rogue One was the best Star Wars movie besides ESB. Like, I was legitimately shocked by how good it turned out.

It's my favourite terror sequence (vara boarding the command cruiser) true and I salute all involved in securing the plans.Before katarn the guys in X-wing set up a fake imperial satellite grid to intercept the plans, everybody knows that.

The original Blade Runner was also well reviewed and didn't do all that well in theatres.From what I gather reception was mixed, many critics found it boring only to course correct later when it became a cult movie.
I'm those people that are most of the time checking the coherence of something and if a movies is has flaws probably I'll spot them and here there are many

@Mongoose I'm not going to do that, people that don't see them tend to deny them and are biased for their discussion, it's a waste of time, they're in the movie if you appreciate realism and harmonious coherence or realistic plots, you clearly don't, and you're happy with your liking of them, you might be a critic when someone pointed out but clearly not when you're emotionally invested in a movie like you have demonstrated to be; why don't you watch the movie again, this time with more realistic perspective in mind? And it's way too much to go watch it again and take note of all the flaws, they're many more than dozen I once tried to calculate and lost count.
Rogue One, then, treating the Force as something that seemingly doesn't exist except to fuel Chirrut's beliefs and as something that Jyn Erso uses as a confidence building tool, is perfectly in line with (or, to use another word, perfectly coherent with) the state of the galaxy as we know it during A New Hope.

And now you're trying to bite me into it, by falsely accusing me of something, same way you probably BS yourself into thinking that movie had 0 flaws and it's a great movie because you wanted to believe so, I already gave my reasons and you just validated them, I'm not going to write anymore about it@Mongoose I'm not going to do that, people that don't see them tend to deny them and are biased for their discussion, it's a waste of time, they're in the movie if you appreciate realism and harmonious coherence or realistic plots, you clearly don't, and you're happy with your liking of them, you might be a critic when someone pointed out but clearly not when you're emotionally invested in a movie like you have demonstrated to be; why don't you watch the movie again, this time with more realistic perspective in mind?

Yes, essentially all movies have flaws. What a shocking revelation. However, you've made absolutely no case that this particular movie's flaws are a notable detriment to its overall quality, instead accusing us of "not seeing them." What exactly were you hoping to achieve here?Read my previous posts, I'm not going to repeat myself, I'm off this thread, too many dramma queens that cannot be accused of not seeing flaws, they see everything, they're perfect, pfffff please
