So who's seen Rogue One?

In TVTropes terms, it's the Big-Lipped Alligator moment.

Rogue One definitely had its flaws and that's one of them. Additionally, poor characterization (Saw, Rook), no characterization whatsoever (Baze), and clunky dialogue. Krennic gave a strong start in the opening scene but we didn't spend enough time with him after for him to achieve his true potential.

The Rogues should have been trimmed down to just 5 and Tarkin and Vader should have been the main villains, with disposable episodic baddies in the Death Troopers. Then it wouldn't have been stretched so thin.

Besides these flaws and a jarring first act, the second and third acts make up for it. Very good movie.

Tbh I'm kinda more curious how they are gonna handle the Han Solo film. I mean we always get the Rebels vs Empire or Good vs Evil, but this film will be something entirely different since this is gonna be Han before he even begins with the Rebels.

We always have some kind of knowledge, whenever we hear the Rebels or Jedi or Empire, we know what it will entail.

But Han Solo? This is gonna be something new entirely, so I'm curious where they are gonna go with it.

Well after this I'm personally looking forward to further spin off films more than I am the Saga films.

Tbh I might be too, since they are all gonna be stand alone, there's some crazy avenues they could take.

Honestly, the Han Solo film just seems like a goddamn misfire. There are better concepts made for an actual movie. Leave that to a comic or a book.

I'm gonna wait for the trailer before deciding.

Also one thing that kinda nagged at me, how is an exhaust port a clever weakness? I mean it's one thing to say it can be a weakness, but they said it was a deliberate weakness installed..

I don't really get this, because...an exhaust pipe if looking at a car, is needed to remove unwanted gas and fumes.

Logically, wouldn't the Death Star need exhausts to vent out fumes and gas from the massive reactors and who knows what else?

Tarkin was awesome, yeah. Great to see probably my favorite non-Force sensitive revived for the big screen.

Yeah but that particular exhaust goes to one of the reactors. And the real weakness Galen installed was the reactors were connected in a way that one hit on any of them would cause a chain reaction destroying the station.

Ah I must have missed that, alright that makes more sense.

Well you have to combine R1 with ANH for the full explanation.

Yeh, and pay a lot of attention to the small lines at the end of his hologram message, he explains the whole chain reaction thing there.

As for the Han Solo film, I'm not really looking forward to it at all, neither am I the Fett film. I might not even go see the Fett film, tbh, and it's going to be too weird seeing another actor playing Han that I might hate that one too mmm

I agree with Tempest, there are better ways to go.

Some nice easter eggs.

General Syndulla.

Jedi/She served me well in the Clone Wars ( possible reveal of Ahsoka surviving? )

The Whills which is a call back from Episode I and TCW.

The Fett film was cancelled and the Han Solo film will probably be rather poor.

Tough to see anyone but Harrison playing the role of Han, and Childish Gambino as Lando is a pretty awful casting choice, imho.

Bail said Kenobi served him in the Clone Wars, and he'll get Leia (i.e. "she"😉 to find him.

Oh, yeah that makes sense...

It was a reference to Obi-Wan, lmfao.

Also, Ponda Baba got a cameo, lol.

Wtf. You say this when the next anthology film is centered around Han freaking Solo ? Trilogy all the way especially given what I saw in Rogue One and that the next film on the docket is Han shit Solo. Hopefully there are good rogues in his film.
