Holy shit was this movie awesome, can't wait for episode 8.Oh and Vader would casually kill Khan. We are talking a stomp on the level of Godzilla vs Bambi.
Khan would skull **** this chump.
Spoiler:
he failed against chumps in Rogue One.

Khan would have been killed in that scene. Unlike the Klingons Rebel soldiers can actually hit their targets.
Spoiler:
Vader failed. Those guys were nothing. Klingons beat Kirk. They are trained warriors not scared untrained rebels. Khan wouldn't fail like Vader did. Even in rogue one he fails. 😂

Of course they were scared. But like every soldier has to cope with, they fought on any despite their fear.
Spoiler:
Difference is they were not the Warriors that the Klingons were. That's the point. Vader failed in his mission against a very sub par foe. If he can't close the deal with this mission he's going to get waxed by Khan.
I thought it was a great movie overall, and truly a worthy continuation of the Disney era of the franchise. There are a few issues I have notably the first 45 minutes are a little sluggish, the actress that plays Jynn isn't a very good physical actress, and Saw Gerrera was utterly pointless as a character. He literally shows up for 5 scenes, for completely no reason decides to die when he could've proved to the Rebel council and backed up Jyn's story about the plans. Its strengths are that the Effects/settings are breathtaking, the opening scene where Krennick descends onto that Saturn like planet,
Spoiler:, and just seeing the Death star, Tarkin, Vader, and the ending fight scene on Scarif, and just the way the tied in the story overall with ANH.
the plume of dust from the use of the Death star on Jedha City
The characters were solid and though they weren't too memorable (Apart from K2SO, and Chirrut), they were ultimately meant to sacrifice themselves so on that note I can understand why they don't have as much depth as the ones in TFA. Overall, a much welcomed entry into the Star wars family. 8.5/10

I agree. And so does queeq.
I haven't seen Clone Wars episodes with him, so maybe his part made the cartoon fans happy, but I disliked it. Maybe if he was played by some other actor.

His praying was incredibly annoying... definitely not a fan...
The droid was fine, though 👆

Longer??? It was too long as it is.
In hindsight... putting Vader is was prolly a good idea. In hindsight, putting him in for REAL as the main antagonist would have been an excellent idea. Classic opening with Star Destroyer, Vader torturing a rebel to reveal the location of the rebel base, maybe even on Eadu, witnessed by Galen who can't do anything: Vader's the guy Jyn's going to be up against. Much more impressive than Krennic...

Regarding those CG made actor's, Was reading about that there were two more, Gold Leader and Red Leader from A New Hope....i didn't even notice them
I noticed them. But yeah like Ares said, seemed like reused footage.
If you watch ANH again then watch this again, there's loads of little nuggets to notice.

Don't think it's likely - remember, in RotJSpoiler:
Palpatine was shown to have many cloaked servants like that one. I felt it was a homage to that scene.
I know just saying, decent front runner. Better than the majority of theories out there lol.
Because Palpatine and Vader do keep Dark Side acolytes, and there was supposed to be Ep. 8 connections.
