It wasn’t at all. The story was not needed. “This is how the rebels got the plans to blow up the Death Star.” We already know the Death Star gets destroyed. Do we really need a prequel movie about that? All the characters sucked, the plot sucked, and the action scenes sucked. Star Wars fans love shit on a plate.
The idea it is particularly good comes from the widespread backlash (that has grown with time/releases) to Disney Star Wars. Rouge One is at best overall passable. It is elevated by the sea of shit that surrounds it.
It wasn't good. Only thing it had was the lived in look and the Death Troopers. The characters were bland, the story was meh and the ending fricks up dialogue spoken in episode IV. Why would Vader now say "This ship received serval transmissions" or the crew saying "We're on a diplomatic mission of peace"? Vader was literally there to see the attack board the ship and see their Corvette escape the scene. Vader might as well just say "I physically saw this ship leave with stolen intel and I saw one of your men pass it onto another before I put my lightsaber through him."
Who the frick takes their spy and senate sympathizer with them into an attack like this? That'd be like on D Day they had their spies with the invasion force in those littel boats with the hopes they wouldn't get killed by the gun fire. They live in a universe where they can talk across huge distances of space with holograms at 1 to 1 speeds, but needed to physically be there to get schematics given to them? They must think the audience is stupid or something and couldn't comprehend the concept of sending information wirelessly through space despite that being something know how to do. That or they just didn't bother trying to make sure it would properly match up. Either answer is stupid as frick.
this you guys are all contrarian homosexuals, this movie is close behind Empire frick return of the jedi, I would rather have rogue one, new hope and empire strikes back on a desert island. return of the jedi I could leave behind. When I first heard about this I was like frick stronk womenz again gonna frick it up but they did it right, there is a way to do strong female lead and this was it.
It’s basically a prequel movie but it’s a polished turd instead of an actual turd. It loses itself in the first half of the movie before becoming a movie. It’s a Chinese knockoff of ROTJ
>It’s a Chinese knockoff of ROTJ
did you even see the movie? there are basically no jedi moron, its nothing at all like return of the jedi. It's basically rag tag rebel volunteer groups taking on the empire when it matters most, when one huge opportunity arises and Jyn can finish what her father started and set the rebels and jedi on a long long path towards eventual victory
Too bad no gives a shit about her or any of the other characters after the movie. Even the Andor show is gonna be pointless like all the other "Before Episode IV" stuff as it all will never be mentioned.
Omg i fricking hate this shit movie, you have a bunch of nobodies walking around who are all brown and "bad asses" but 0 personality, you have a completely moronic plot that makes no sense and is more bare than a shitty rpg, but disney made it "dark" so a bunch of zoomer homosexuals thought it was cool. Frick off with your forced diversity and shit ass movie, frick off REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Let's say that you are forced to eat literal shit for years. I mean, wet, goopy, whatever-creature-laid-that-turd-was-lactose-intolerant-or-had-something-that-didn't-sit-quite-right-with-their-system slop, and it's all soft-servey with some unidentifiable chunks in there to sort of throw your expectations even more out of whack with the texture consistency.
Then, instead, one day, your prison guard hands you a plate of a stale, petrified-white dog loaf that had been out in the sun for several days. All moisture is gone. It's wholly consistent in texture. It's brittle, small, and when compared to your usual fare of sloppy-joe dung, near-flavorless. You can see how that might go down easy when compared to your routine diet of the worst of the worst. You can pinch your nose and gulp it down and trick yourself into thinking it is a powdered treat that just didn't have enough sugar.
It was the first non-episode Star Wars movie. They had a lot to prove, so they actually put in effort and made a different coherent plot with likeable characters and gave it the classic Star Wars feel.
Once they proved the concept, they started phoning it in with literally everything.
And frick the haters, it had good movie stuff >Main character deals with abandonment issues from her father and surrogate father >Rebels doing morally gray stuff instead of just being Team Sainthood >Themes of fighting for and believing in causes >No asspull happy ending; they accomplish their goal, but everyone dies at the altar of continuity instead of becoming an orange donut steel to appear in future works
If they'd just ditched the stupid cameos, the movie would have been perfect
>made a different coherent plot with likeable characters
There's literally not a single likable character in the film and I genuinely didn't care about them dying.
Alan Tudyk's blunt robot was hilarious and I'll fight you for saying otherwise. Also, I liked Jyn, and not just because she was hot. The blind not-jedi was cool too, even if I never remember his name.
>>Main character deals with abandonment issues from her father and surrogate father
Who gives a shit? Did your daddy ditch you? Went out for dem cigs, huh?
doing morally gray stuff instead of just being Team Sainthood
Rebels were never morally gray. Rebels were always objectively good force of goodness, fighting tyrannical, evil, oppressive tyranny, led by an evil space wizard named Insidious and his henchman Invader.
of fighting for and believing in causes
Oh wow. Never happened before! >>No asspull happy ending; they accomplish their goal, but everyone dies at the altar of continuity instead of becoming an orange donut steel to appear in future works
Oh, yes. No "happy endings" is surely very Star Wars. And no one cares if they all died, the characters were bland nobodies with no personality or development, so barely anyone got attached to them in the first place.
The only thing this movie has going for it is the looks. It is truly a visually stunning film. But other than that, it's pretty pointless and shallow.
Nah. Rogue One is just a glorified Battlefront cut-scene. I can go play Battlefront right now, without having to tolerate those awfully boring characters and their "arcs."
The reason it looked great was because the director's background is in special effects and he did the CGI for his breakout movie Monsters, so he's got a good understanding of the whole process and has an eye for great set pieces. Same reason Godzilla 2014's effects were top notch (much better than Godzilla Vs Kong). But the story sucked because it's a Disney corporate product done by a writer for hire that got chopped and changed as it went along. I imagine the key effects-heavy scenes could be kept regardless of story changes around them so they survived fine. Disney just lucked out that the 'indie director for hire' they got happened to be excellent at that aspect. Compare to Marvel films which similarly hire indie directors and have crazily short deadlines, most of those indie guys have no experience with special effects or storyboarding them so everything is done on the fly and you get rushed out crap like the Black Panther fight scene.
>LOOK HOW CONTRARIAN I AM >I DON'T LIKE THE MOVIE THAT EVEN CONTRARIANS LIKE
Kek, Cinemaphile always racing to be the biggest snowflake. Also if you liked the prequels, your opinion is instantly void.
about the early years of the Empire
It's not early years, it's 5 years before ANH.
It's late years of the Empire. They are likely going to frick with Rebels, which covers the exact same timeline and story of how the Rebel Alliance came together.
The early years of the Empire are being covered in The Bad Batch.
>It's not early years, it's 5 years before ANH.
Oh. I assumed it was the early years because of the pseudo-Gunships in the recent trailer and the use of the Imperial Army. Also some weird rumor that Andor was a Separatist fighter before the Empire.
It's gonna have a few flashbacks to his childhood, but the main story is 5 before ANH. Season 1 covers one year, or something, and season 2 covers 4 years with 3 episodes being 1 year and leading directly in R1.
It's okay. It only looks better when compared to the rest of the terrible movies Disney made. It still has a lot of annoying moronic stuff about it. It still follows the "no new white male lead" rules that the israelites at Disney demand.
just because its less shit than the rest doesnt mean that it is a good movie
It wasn’t at all. The story was not needed. “This is how the rebels got the plans to blow up the Death Star.” We already know the Death Star gets destroyed. Do we really need a prequel movie about that? All the characters sucked, the plot sucked, and the action scenes sucked. Star Wars fans love shit on a plate.
They certainly do.
Is because the chick was hot without her the movie is garbage watch this proven true with the new Andor show
its overrated and the soundtrack is terrible.
What's good about it? It's forgettable as frick.
The idea it is particularly good comes from the widespread backlash (that has grown with time/releases) to Disney Star Wars. Rouge One is at best overall passable. It is elevated by the sea of shit that surrounds it.
it seems good because the rest of new wars is utter garbage, if you pay attention youll notice that its still shit
just not nearly as shit as the others
It wasn't good. Only thing it had was the lived in look and the Death Troopers. The characters were bland, the story was meh and the ending fricks up dialogue spoken in episode IV. Why would Vader now say "This ship received serval transmissions" or the crew saying "We're on a diplomatic mission of peace"? Vader was literally there to see the attack board the ship and see their Corvette escape the scene. Vader might as well just say "I physically saw this ship leave with stolen intel and I saw one of your men pass it onto another before I put my lightsaber through him."

This was the worst Star Wars movie I ever saw but it was also the last one I ever saw
>This was the worst Star Wars movie I ever saw
It was bad but no in way the worst.
It was worse than any of the ones I've seen, I've only seen the original 3 and the Force Awakens
Oh boy have you got some bullshit to see with the prequels along with 8 and 9. Rogue One comes off as okay compared to them.
its just starwars porn for starwars nerds
which is fine, you've had to stand there and watch people rape and murder starwars, i guess you can enjoy a little starwars porn
thats all it is though
it's a star wars deconstruction, not star wars porn
It's the only movie that understood star wars
This is the best Star Wars movie chuds
this you guys are all contrarian homosexuals, this movie is close behind Empire frick return of the jedi, I would rather have rogue one, new hope and empire strikes back on a desert island. return of the jedi I could leave behind. When I first heard about this I was like frick stronk womenz again gonna frick it up but they did it right, there is a way to do strong female lead and this was it.
Its shit though
frick off jj or youre probably a force awakens cuck,
Shitty editing in this scene, Andor opens his eyes and looks toward the camera at the last moment
It’s basically a prequel movie but it’s a polished turd instead of an actual turd. It loses itself in the first half of the movie before becoming a movie. It’s a Chinese knockoff of ROTJ

Frick off with your forced diversity and shit ass movie, frick off REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The memberberries were left until the very end.
There were no unnecessary survivors to drag into other stories later.
It didn't actually TRY to be better than anything; it told a story, simple as.
Here's why it was "so good"
Let's say that you are forced to eat literal shit for years. I mean, wet, goopy, whatever-creature-laid-that-turd-was-lactose-intolerant-or-had-something-that-didn't-sit-quite-right-with-their-system slop, and it's all soft-servey with some unidentifiable chunks in there to sort of throw your expectations even more out of whack with the texture consistency.

This is why.
It didn't, it's shit.
Is not good anon

frick off moron
I liked him so in turn liked Jyn and her struggle to finish what he started.
Go suck off john boyhomie and rewatch the farce awakens
Alan Tudyk's blunt robot was hilarious and I'll fight you for saying otherwise. Also, I liked Jyn, and not just because she was hot. The blind not-jedi was cool too, even if I never remember his name.

its the third best all time knocking return of the jedi into the fricking trash can, you know that, we all knw that. quit it, seek help
Nah. Rogue One is just a glorified Battlefront cut-scene. I can go play Battlefront right now, without having to tolerate those awfully boring characters and their "arcs."
Super over rated
It's awful movie
You have the mind of a child

It`s not though.
It was mediocre on its own merit, only looks good next to its brethren.
>How come this turned out so good? A
wrong
>LOOK HOW CONTRARIAN I AM
>I DON'T LIKE THE MOVIE THAT EVEN CONTRARIANS LIKE
Kek, Cinemaphile always racing to be the biggest snowflake. Also if you liked the prequels, your opinion is instantly void.
George Lucas was reported to have enjoyed the film more than The Force Awakens; upon hearing this, Gareth Edwards said, "I can die happy now."[169]
The Godfather has spoken spergs
>enjoyed the film more than The Force Awakens
Wow, he liked R1 better than a movie he wrote? High praise indeed.
>series about the early years of the Empire
>"Let's name it after the main character lmao"
Fricking why?
about the early years of the Empire
It's not early years, it's 5 years before ANH.

Eh, not great not terrible. Still, I hope we get a good look at the politics of the Empire, namely what's up with the Senate.
It's dogshit
But it didn't
Should've been apocalypse now in space
Because it didn't have Jedis in it.
they were constrained by existing lore and were forced to kill everyone
It's okay. It only looks better when compared to the rest of the terrible movies Disney made. It still has a lot of annoying moronic stuff about it. It still follows the "no new white male lead" rules that the israelites at Disney demand.
Why does a lead have to be a white male?
You had two movie trilogies with a white male lead.
What a moronic complaint.
