What if Saving Private Ryan was set in space, but during the ending scene where they die you don't care because none of the soldiers have personalities

And then just before the credits it cuts to a sick nazi super-soldier just murdering the poo poo out of a bunch of helpless allied soldiers and we all cheer

I never knew I wanted to see jar jar die in a slow motion stabbing while a resistance solider cowers on the stairs til now thanks.

I like the blind guy who was real big into the force but not actually force sensitive. That was a good bit. And Sassy Buff C3P0 was okay in that he was slightly less annoying than normal 3P0 (Kill all the robots in the moves and replaces them with the KOTOR service droid.)

Rogue One felt like Star Wars Battlefront 2, the good one for PS2, was a movie, and that makes it the best one since Revenge Of The Sith.

Rogue One had Donnie Yen kicking rear end. No other Star Wars movie can say that.

The good one was Battlefront 1 because allowing you to actually play as all the overpowered heroes turned every match in 2 from balanced PvP class-based FPS gameplay to 'who can rush godmode faster'

It also had better single player campaigns and didn't include half-baked space battles :colbert:

Rogue One could have been dope but ended up as a shrug for me. People on my timeline were like "OMG THIS MOVIE GAVE ME ALL THE FEELS I WAS WEEPING," so my wife and I were optimistic, but then everything in the movie was soulless, perfunctory, and disinteresting. The Last Jedi remains the most interesting Star War for me since the originals.

Was Rogue One the movie where they originally wrote them more as terrorists but pulled back for the final script? I wonder how that original idea would have gone over.

The Magnificent Seven remake straight up has Chris Pratt do a heroic suicide bombing on some Pinkertons so there's clearly some amount of wiggle room before you've gone too terroristy

Rogue One is probably the best star war of the past decade. Although TLJ owns as an allegory for the 2016 election.

I liked it but my expectations were extremely low given that this is a high budget Disney movie and given that it's predecessor was The Force Awakens.

Its the best Star Wars movie of this current generation and it's only because the rest of them are somehow significantly worse.

Rogue One wasn't great, especially since they literally locked the director out of the sets to reshoot the third act and disguise the fact that the main character was initially scripted as a member of space ISIS, but its fun in its own way, especially since it's the only post- Disney star wars media to somewhat successfully pull off the idea of an alternate perspective on star wars

Its like staring into the Uncanny Valley's butthole

My coworker's boyfriend didn't realize he was cgi and they got in a fight over it.

Also he only watches the prequels and not the originals because the "Graphics" aren't good (I found this out when I asked how he couldn't compare the real life guy to the obviously phony one in Rogue One).

No matter what they intended, I think it would've read as a lovely both-sides narrative. It would take away from Rogue One's overall message.

Leslie's takes are mostly correct. He just has a glaring blindspot when it comes to DC and the prequels.
