Just for the record, I wasn’t being sarcastic with my comment on it being about sacrifice, I genuinely didn’t get any of that from the movie. I thought it’s message was about “learning to work together” and “doing the right thing” or something like that.Yep. It’s funny that someone who doesn’t even like the film seems to understand it better than some of the people who worked on it. 😉
In his defense, saying it’s about “sacrifice” is a lot more exciting-sounding than saying it’s about “doing the right thing.” As for the rough cut and Edwards’ direction, I just don’t feel judging a product that I haven’t seen and still know nothing about. Like you said, Edwards is a good director (which is what I credit the visual beauty of Rogue One to) so I don’t like the idea of taking some guy’s word that his movie was so bad.
