This. While it makes sense for Tarkin to show up in some way, it would have been better if they'd had him appear in one of those grainy communications holograms like what we saw in the original trilogy, rather than try to have a first-generation deepfake character interacting in live action scenes with real people.
Tarkin goes hand in hand with the death star and it was chilling seeing him again. Deepfake technology has the potential to give us film concepts lost because of dead actors and you have to give respect for them taking the first step. He looks better in this vid.
It was boring since you pretty much knew the outcome. They insist on doing prequels and time shifts because they're devoid of creativity, all they can do is spoil and pollute.
How they got the plans for the Deathstar was so unimportant that it wasn't shown in the original movies. And now with the sequels, getting the Deathstar plans is even MORE pointless because they make an even BIGGER Deathstar and then a thousand Death Stars, none of which can be blowed up like the original.
There were too many characters... so many were superfluous. What was the point of Donnie Yen or his gay friend? Jyn and the dude pilot were basically the same character, why even have them separate? All this did was water the characters down.
Why did the super hateful anti-Empire black dude who the whole plot revolves around for half the movie decide to just give up and die right then? Do you realize how interesting the movie would be if he had come along?
This movie was extremely flawed and pointless. It's just that you soijacked when Vader shows up at the end and the bar was lowered so much by the prequels and Farce Awakens and shit that you think this is great, when it is not
>Donnie Yen or his gay friend? Jyn and the dude pilot were basically the same character, why even have them separate? All this did was water the characters down.
CGI and costume budget, and Chinabux.
Couldn't they have just had Donnie Yen be a bounty hunter kung fu monk who believes in Force Buddhism or w/e and is like a calmer, spiritual take on Han Solo who has to reconcile his religious beliefs with bounty hunter pragmatism? Wouldn't that have been more different, complex, and interesting than him just being some blind dumbass who exists for 1 ebin scene? You could have saved money and not hired the black dude too.
Couldn't they have just cut out the pilot and had Jyn be a pilot for the Alliance who has ties to black desert man and she struggles with having these cynical beliefs and thinking the Rebels are too pussy to succeed even though she is fighting alongside them? They could have combined the pilot with the Indian tech support guy, an idealistic engineer who defects. Bring along edgy black desert guy as the token evil party member, driven mad by his anger and isolation who is starting to break down and wants to die in battle because he's at the end of his rope and has started hating himself.
There is a good idea at the heart of Rogue One but they just bloated it with needless shit and the movie is already needless so it never manages to overcome that. A pointless entry in a franchise needs to earn its right to exist and instead they filled it with a bunch of half ass token characters and the screenwriting was weak as frick
It was pretty pointless and boring.
Superficial Star Wars porn.
Characters were all underdeveloped.
It was also unnecessary.
Darth Vader ending was embarrassing.
Leia escaping straight from the battle, right under Vader's nose, makes no sense.
It's an absolutely SHIT movie, and everyone who simps for it was just swayed by a few moments of good special effects and a few seconds of Vader kicking ass. Otherwise it's a Mary Sue fest with too many Deus Ex Machinas. TL;DR this film gay.
I started laughing out loud when in order to retrieve the blueprints for the Death Shit they had to play some kind of gigantic carnival claw game. I hope whoever wrote that was slain.
It's a solid movie with a really kino Vader scene. I don't know that it should be considered great. Just goes to show how shit the rest of disney star wars is that a simple and decent movie is the best of the bunch.
>director churn >endless reshoots >crowbarred topical 2016 election one liners
It's a low bar to pass, and people will stretch to extend it to even Solo. Mystical Chinaman sidekicks were originally going to be aliens, which might've made for something with the feel of a 'galaxy far far away'
Anyone else fall the for the trailer showing a tie fighter rising up from the edge of some walkway to menace a guy only to not have it be an actual scene in the movie?
Reminder all nu wars is homosexual shit
it might have been alright if not for cgi Grand Moff Tarkin.
You might be a homosexual

have a nice day mouse shill
>best of the shit era of star wars
congrats...?
It's garbage.

>Top 3
So which original trilogy film do you think this is better than?
I'm not sure I'd put it that high but I wouldn't put RotJ that high either, so not OP but that's probably your answer.
It's better than Rotj easily.
ROTJ because he's a "finally a gritty Star Wars movie for ADULTS" manbaby
I don’t remember this film at all. It wasn’t stand out.

>"what if we made a movie about getting the Death Star plans"
why are there asians in star wars all of a sudden and why arent they fish aliens and why do they do stupid kung fu bullshit
pretty good

people who act like RotJ isn't easily third best are moronic, the scenes on tattooine and with Vader are some of the best in the trilogy
I fell asleep watching It, and I never do that. It was shit.
That's a little too generous. Still definitely the best disney-made star wars, better than 2 and 6
its easily the best Disney Star Wars product
It's my favorite one. I would argue all apart from Nu-Wars are good. I mean, they're kids' films, but still.
it's definitelly one of the Star Wars films made in our times
Every Disney Star Wars movie has been shit, but Rogue One and Solo are unironically the best
Wow what low standards you have
I said they're all shit. Are you dumb? Which flick(s) out of 7, 8, and 9 do you think are better than Rogue One? Go on. Tell me.
It's a solid movie with a really kino Vader scene. I don't know that it should be considered great. Just goes to show how shit the rest of disney star wars is that a simple and decent movie is the best of the bunch.

There are 4 good star wars movies
Episode 4, 5, 6 and Spaceballs. Everything else is shit unless you're a child
