Rogue One SPOILERS

I see a lot of people saying Tarkin looked alright, but Leia looked bad. I think Leia looked better than Tarkin, but that's mainly because we saw her for a few seconds while Tarkin had multiple scenes. Guy Henry acted as Tarkin, so I assume he did the voice too, which was pretty good. Stephen Stanton does a better Tarkin voice in TCW and Rebels though, so I don't know why he didn't voice Tarkin. He actually voiced Admiral Raddus, so it's not like he wasn't working on the film already.

I thought the digital characters were good for what they were. Yeah they weren't perfect, but for the sake of the story Tarkin and Leia needed to be in this.

I'm disappointed Moroff didn't have much screen time. He was only in the background for like 2 or 3 shots. He was my favorite new alien design and I was hoping he'd be in it a bit more.

Did anyone get any good reactions in their theater? Some guy audibly said "Oh shit" when Bodhi was in the shuttle and a grenade got tossed in. Also people going insane in general when Vader started to head down the hallway and when people realized the rebel soldiers were running to the Tantive IV.

I think the movie was alright, definitely refreshing but I didn't enjoy it as much as earlier Star Wars movies... Probably because it was kind of its own thing. Also, there was not as much mystery surrounding it as TFA for example.

Anyway, I'm kind of sad Saw didn't reference TCW. And the Leia/Tarkin CGI looked a bit weird but still very impressive. Some of the planets look really cool. And I really like the droid. The rest of the main character were kind of meh...

But yeah, I have hope for future spin-off movies now. It's interesting to see something totally new in Star Wars. The main movies are too similar, I definitely look forward to seeing some more unique (and mature, like this one) spin-offs. I just hope the future ones will continue to have some ties to the main saga. I kind of liked all the references and characters from ANH having some cameos. Although the cameo from that cantina guy was a bid unnecessary. Too coincidental. The rest made sense.

Everyone cheered at the Lucasfilm logo and end credits at my theater. The place got silent when Vader showed up with his lightsaber.


Yes please, that'd be amazing. It could even have some flashbacks with a young Palpatine. I've seen Tom HIddleston's name suggested and I think he'd be a great young Palpatine.

I just got back and I think it was amazing, as someone who saw the OT first and fell in love with those movies, I couldn't be more pleased with this one for the most part.

I am glad they all died, I mean I had been calling it from the start but it's refreshing to see the heroes die and not a) live or b) come back from the dead, I don't think any of these characters are coming back and they don't need too.

As for the characters themselves I enjoyed them, Baze and Chirrut where a nice duo, Cassian was probably my personal favorite and K2-SO was pure comic relief but in a very good way. Jyn Erso really surprised me, the trailers didn't do her justice at all, they took here like worst lines and stuff in the trailers, or bad takes or something idk but she was pretty awesome in the movie. And she was a much better character then Rey IMO, Rey was some know it all, Mary-Sue character, Jyn felt real.

Vader wasnt seen too much, but that scene at the very end was pure badass, fan service but definitely one of my favorites. I would have liked the Emperor to make one appearance, either by hologram or Vader visiting him on Coruscant or something. Tarkin was done quite well, Krennic was cool but wasn't too interesting IMO.

I really liked the variety in locations, so many planets in this one was nice to see, really shows how big the universe is. Scariff was super cool and I think it was kinda unique, we never really seen that tropical beach like planet before in any content.


Bunch of little stuff I liked, too the callout to Hera, Choppers little cameo on Yavin, the Ghost. Also Red Five dying was a cool one, opens up Luke's spot. Liked the CGI pilots, seeing Wedge or Biggs would have been nice though.

Coruscant was in the movie too though, easy to miss but the planet in the flashback with Galen in his imperial grey uniform and Krennic is Coruscant.

That might have been one of the biggest surprises for me. I was never expecting to see his castle... and the fact that it was on Mustafar was even cooler. I agree that we might see Kylo Ren using it in the Sequel Trilogy.

They made his castle look similar to the EU one as well but that was on Vjun. Cool that they used Mustafar, but that planet is also being used a lot now. Clone Wars, Books, Rebels... its supposed to be just a remote mining world.

It was a cool shot flying into the castle, looked different then ROTS Mustafar

How many planets/ locations where in the movie though?

Planet where Galen is taken and his wife's dies
Jedha
That cool trade outpost
Mustafar
Scariff
Yavin IV
Imperial research planet
Coruscant (Small Cameo)

And they said it could make the pilot go insane, but he didn't really seem insane after they left Jedha.

So I think this movie has the most planets next to ROTS.

I'm pretty sure that a rumor about Snoke training Kylo Ren at Vader's Castle in Episode 8 was circulating back in the spring. I think there was also the possibility that Luke would confront Kylo there or be shown at Vader's Castle in flashbacks. Whatever the case, seeing Vader's Castle would be awesome for Episode VIII.
