All Things Star Wars (No Spoilers)

Droids don't count.

To be fair, he's the most memorable part of that movie.

Okay Saw Gerrera... but does that mean C-3PO and R2D2 don't count for the original movies?

Name three characters from Rogue One who weren't from the OT.

Jyn, Saw, Cassian, Galen, Baze, Chirrut (Thanks, Galaxy of Heroes!). I see what you did there, though. The same argument was made after Phantom Menace came out, but you have to remember that Sci-Fi doesn't exactly have normal names that are easy to remember like Smith, especially when it's just a single movie. I had to look up some of the last names just now: Chirrut Îmwe, Baze Malbus, Orson Krennic (First name harder than the last since it's not used often), and even Jyn's alliases: Lianna Hallik, Tanith Pontha, and Kestrel Dawn. People largely didn't remember the names of Phantom Menace characters until they had been established over 2-3 movies or they've seen it several times.

Funny, but appropriate example:

Especially when there is only like ten people left in the entire resistance by the end of TLJ and every one of those were too stupid to even realize as they were last shown congratulating each other and partying over it all....

RoS takes place a year after TLJ. Plenty of time to build the resistance back up. That was the whole point of broomstick boy.

The main disappointing thing for me about Rouge One is that they all died at the end. I would have loved to see them expand on the characters from RO

They had to die or it wouldn't make sense why we don't see them in the OT.

Also Cassian Andor is getting his own prequel series on Disney+.

One more while we're on the subject of Rogue One, I had a discussion with someone on Reddit the other day. They claimed to have worked on R1 and spoke about details of the original ending that seemed to line up with things from the trailers that got cut from the final film. The basic gist of what he had to say was that the first cut was so violent it was going be a hard R, and that in the first version it was Cassian and Jyn that make it up to the transport only to be cut down by Vader.

I'll quote his full comments below. I think if what he's saying is true, the ending of R1 would have been even better.

There were multiple cuts, the best one was "too violent", and involved Vader landing on the beach, and brutally murdering everyone personally, the girl and her boyfriend are attacked by a TIE fighter on the Antenae, and end up commandeering it to escape, they make it to the main ship and are celebrating abit, when it turns out that Vader had followed them up there, cuts into the side of the ship, force throwing a chunk of spaceship hull across a room crushing half a dozen people, and then proceeds to terminator down the halls for 5 minutes chasing after her and the dude before THEY are the ones violently killed in the hallway while handing off the plans. They canned that one in favor of the peaceful Death Star explosion death, only paying a small hommage to it with the toned down hallway scene with the red shirts, and leaving the landing craft dropping off Vaders troopers on the beach, but with him edited out.

And it could had been 20 minutes of that awesomeness instead of 5... Originally the monk guy had quite abit more force ability, to the point the Storm Troopers were having a real hard time dealing with him, Vader showed up and splattered him instantly with a force slam against a wall like it was nothing without even breaking his stride. Was truly terrifying, and a shame it didn't make it in, although it would had almost certainly had given it a hard R rating, and i think they were trying to avoid that, thus the ultra tuned down version. Here's hoping for a future blue ray release lol....

Claims to have worked on the film, but refers to the main characters as "Girl and boyfriend" and "the monk guy." Seems legit. Why would they go to the roof of the building if they were going to take the plans personally to the ship? It's not like they knew the TIE Fighter would be there, or that they'd be able to commandeer it if that was one of the possible endings. Makes no sense. That ending comes off more like fan fiction.

There were so many reshoots for the film tho. I wouldn't immediately dismiss that guy's comment.

There's absolutely no way they would have had Vader chasing them for 5 minutes, with a total of 20 minutes of Vader wanton destruction in a Star Wars film. It's completely fan fiction. Where's the plot? It reads like a horror film, tbh, it's like they're using a slasher flick plot device. It's just not something that's seen in an action/adventure like Star Wars.

Isn't it a bit more in line with what the director had done in previous works though? I forgot what else he'd done.

I've read about the multiple different endings that Rogue One could have had, but no one has ever mentioned a hardcore Vader ending. You would think someone would have leaked such a thing by now that was certified as associated with the film. Can thing be kept under wraps? Sure, but read those two paragraphs above objectively, and tell me that it makes any sense. There's about fifty holes you can poke in it. Here's another: in the beginning of New Hope Vader is force choking a soldier and asks what happened to the plans were transmitted to the ship. If Jyn didn't have to transmit the plans and she personally brought them to the ship and handed them off...then they weren't transmitted. That's why they had the whole sequence at the antenna, the plans had to be uploaded for continuity.

Beinoff and Weiss are no longer getting their trilogy...

Supposedly, it's because their schedules are too full at this point to allow the commitment to the Star Wars Universe, and they will be give the green light should they decide they want back in.

My theory is that it's because everyone has had time to reflect on how poorly the final season of GoT was received, and also because whenever they speak in public as a team, they reveal a bit more about just how unqualified they actually were to run the show lol.

The mandalorian is Tiiiiiight!

There’s hope for this franchise yet, after they let Rian Johnson damn near destroy it.

Yes it is. But what was with the random Rocky training session in the middle?

They took enough shit about Rey being a Mary Sue lol.

This show looks super promising. That baby "Yoda" is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. IG-88 is equal parts badass and terrifying.

People often talk about the need for criminal justice reform in the United States. The fact that Rian Johnson isn't doing 5-10 years for attempted murder of Star Wars is yet another example of white males not being held accountable for their actions.

Actually, it's an example of a white male getting away with something awful because he covered himself in the progressive mantle.

 

[NDdomer2]

Ah good to know. Question....

IG-11 was in lots of the promo material, so I'm assuming he comes back. Will the one that comes back be a different IG unit since 11 "died", or the same one?
