Asking for that is like asking for Chic Fil-A sandwiches to rain from the sky. I would love nothing more than for that to happen but such a thing will never come to pass.

I said some or most. It’s a hard range to pin down.

You also said “a few” liked the new movies, which implies that the majority (or as you say, some) doesn’t. Which is it?
On another note, I’m personally very excited to rewatch this gem thanks to the Digital HD release. The film seems to continuously grow on me, as does the soundtrack. I really hope this is a sign of things to come from Disney.

A few do, a few don’t. What’s the big deal?

Nothing, really. I’m simply trying to see the logic behind people who are vehemently against the new films, and who believe that they are objectively trash. They’re more than welcome to think that, of course – but that’s just like, their opinion, man.

They could at least try and express it in a more interesting way though.

Time to head to Chick-fil-a.
Rouge One screenwriter Gary Whitta said:
I thought having Evazan and Walrus Man was a little too much.
I very much agree.
And about the “transmissions vs. Data Tapes” debate, it make sense to me that both happened. They beamed the plans via “several transmissions” and then the crew downloaded that data onto tapes. Maybe I’m missing something (I’ve only seen R1 once), but I don’t see any problems there.
I have seen a few threads out on other boards where people say Rogue One messed up because the death star plans were transmissions - and not data tapes, and also the reverse
Yeah, those are the people I’m talking about. I thought the film handled this just fine.
I would have loved to see them running across the beach with the plans to a transmissions tower though. Seems there are other things that could have been cut so that this would have fit. Maybe not though.
Same here, especially the beach running scenes, stormtroopers in the water etc, and the Rebels running towards the AT-ACTs 😃
I’d love to see more of scenes Donnie Yen referred to in a recent instagram post too - though that seems unlikely (https://www.instagram.com/p/BRPmCvthYwi/)
So, with the digital download available today, the total length combined of all the special features (minus the Target exclusives) has been reported as just 1hr 8mins. That’s pityful.
Sad to hear - doesn’t seem a lot at all. Given the poor dvd/blu ray covers, lack of deleted/alternative scenes, commentaries, and now very brief special features - this seems lazy and underwhelming work for a film that deserves more.
To be honest, mate, the more I hear from about (I’m paraphrasing Gareth Edwards here) ‘the marketing people wanting the TIE Fighter scene on the balcony with Jyn - despite we told them it wasn’t going to be in the film’ comment the more I think well… are future trailers and adverts etc also going to show scenes that aren’t from the future films too?
Because if that is the case, they are deceiving us, and we - as fans - deserve a little more than that.

This place is toxic.
Why do I even visit this site
Pretty much. This place is toxic. If we actually get the OUT after Celebration and keeping tabs on preservations ceases to be so important, I’m gone.

In the Rogue Ridiculous, will Vader yell noooooooooo as the blockade runner pulls away?
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
If he doesn’t, I’ll retroactively unwatch the Ridiculous Saga.
There’s a thread you could post that in where I won’t forget and you’ll get credit.

Damn. Someone beat me to it.

Nah, it’s still your idea.
Beat me as in the very first reply in December.

Lol.
Eh, if I’m being honest I’m sure I won’t stay gone, but I do think I need a break. It seems that the board is becoming more about hating most of Star Wars than liking any of it.
We seem to be of the same mind about this (and many other things) so I do hope it won’t be a permanent break. I should really spend less time here to but I’m dumb and can’t help myself.
I’ve seen Rogue One twice, but I still get excited when I see a commercial for it on TV. I’m probably not going to watch it again until some time in May when I’m back home and can watch the BD on my surround system, but I’m really excited to do so.

Saw the film again last night. Still really fun. I think I appreciate the secondary aspects more with each viewing (cinematography, vfx, score) while the story doesn’t tend to hold up as much. Unfortunately, unlike my experience with TFA, the things that bother me don’t bother me less with each subsequent viewing, but more.
Ultimately, it’s still a really cool side tale. It’s hard for me to judge it as a film unto itself because it’s not really that. It’s an EU movie. So some things are great from an overall “this is a peek into the universe” perspective but don’t work as a single standalone story.
This is where my fear of the Vader scene diminishing upon repeat viewings come in. Because, as great as it is to finally see the real terror and havoc he can wreak, ultimately, the scene (and really the character in general) does not belong in this movie. He brings nothing to the story at all. So while it’s nice to see him show up because he obviously has a key role in this period of time in this galaxy, in the end, he serves no purpose to the film.
And that’s really my issue with the film overall (and I’ve said this before), it was kind of trying to do too many things, and not just story-wise but tonally too, by trying to be a capital SW Star Wars movie while it also was this side story unto itself (and should have focused more on that, with a smaller scope).
You mean Vader has nothing to do with this film, except for the fact that he is in hot pursuit of the stolen plans in the opening frames of Star Wars? For that fact alone the slaughter scene is reasonable.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
