Star Wars done right. Man, that Vader bit at the end was worth the price of admission. After making Anakin look like a chump for three movies straight, I'm real glad they showed why everyone's afraid of him by the main trilogy. They really made facing him look like a poo poo-your-pants moment. And I didn't think Disney would have the balls to off the whole main cast. Good on em. Also glad the Y-Wings finally got to be useful. And the cruiser cribbed from KOTOR! Nostalgia4Dicks posted:Was all this planned and loosely what Lucas had in his mind when he wrote the original movies or did they just connect dots with random poo poo If memory serves, in ep4 Leia acts all offended when she's captured and tells Vader (Tarkin?) that she's on a peaceful diplomatic mission. Since Rogue One ends with her narrow escape from a crippled rebel capital ship, I don't think anything in Rogue One was planned in advance. Probably just connecting the dots. I don't think there was even an implication that the rebels had a real fleet. The Temple of the Whills gave me such a nerdboner. In the first drafts of A New Hope, back when it was just The Star Wars, the whole setup was that it was a story recorded in the Journal of the Whills, a record of the jedi. For decades, nobody knew wtf the Whills were, or why they would matter in Star Wars. Forty years later, they finally get an on-screen shoutout.

Godholio posted:That was what did it for me.  The old steel pot helmets were a nice touch. Star Wars has a long history of re-purposing old guns and gear as props, good to see it continue.

It's not controversial or a bad line. People are just saying that, in the other movies, Vader tends to drop pithy one liners while he chokes dudes out. Therefore, it isn't weird that he does it in Rogue One. Thanks for making me an autist.

WAR CRIME SYNDICAT posted:Because they had to get the plans first. I liked R1, but it's a valid criticism. She didn't need the plans to get Obi-Wan, she just needed to take a trip to Tatooine to go look for him. It was only circumstance that the plans ended up on her ship. The big rebel capital ship was preparing to flee the system right before Vader dropped in to say hi. Also Kuroyama posted:The "choke on your aspirations" line was great because Vader emphasized "choke" in that way you do when you want people to know you're making a pun.

It's rare that a joke gets funnier when it is re-told, but here we are.

Potential BFF posted:He's only on comms, but Wedge is flying around with Red Squadron and he's voiced by Denis Lawson in an uncredited cameo. OG Red and Gold leaders got the same CGI magic as Tarkin and Leia. Gold and Red leaders weren't CGI but rather were unused footage from A New Hope, with new background effects. Happened by accident, the director stumbled on reels of cut film that had never been digitized. Pretty neat attention to detail. http://io9.gizmodo.com/heres-how-rogue-one-got-its-hands-on-unseen-star-wars-f-1790250545
