I dunno, I just always remember reading somewhere that they have no life support, no shields and no landing gear, no long distance power supply or hyperdrive engine; to make them totally dependant on the capital ships (and therefore the Empire itself) which was a creepy extra detail. The windows on the top hatch didn’t have any glass, just two exposed holes.

Okay, real talk.

When did TIE Fighters become ships with air inside? Is this just a TFA thing or is the old pilot dependency thing non-movie level canon? If so why do the FO pilots still have the mask with a hose attached?

I find this interesting, as I had the crazy idea of a Trek Mirror Mirror type Universe when I was a kid, where the Empire was the good guys, and Vader wore white.

Yikes. Luke is pretty baked there.

Snoke’s origin could have been included as one throwaway line. Which begs the question why does anyone want it, because he was just generic evil guy no.27. He killed someone or did something, who cares. The end of ROTJ was eroded over 3 decades so of course things have changed. I’m sure the EU immediately ruined the “happy ending” too with a hundred despotic Empire guys and Dark Jedi weirdos.

What about that Russian version? 😉

It’s like an hour long and has more charm that budget so it gets a pass XD

They’re overseeing the construction of the new Systemkiller Base.

The only good adaptation of The Hobbit is in audio recording and comic book form.

All of Serkis’s work Gollum, Kong, Caesar - is never 100% perfect (maybe the last Apes movie) but it’s perfectly believable in terms of characterisation. That’s why Gollum holds up over 10 years later, the CGI isn’t that good today, it’s aged. But the personality, and performance makes it work.

Rogue One on the other hand is poor, and it’s made poorer because the surrounding story doesn’t support the inclusion of these creepy death masks. I wanted to see Krennick and Galen, that relationship. Or Jyn and Saw, that relationship. These are things that matter inside the plot, but we don’t get them. Instead, all that money wasted on pointless visuals.

It should have been a bunch of speeders that were being abused by robots though.

It should have been a scene where the animals get loose, then the heroes escape with a speeder. Or on foot.

To me this set is fantastic. It wonderfully straddles that fine line of being ‘Star Warsy’ yet also giving us something we haven’t seen before. Great visuals.

A good chunk of Star Wars appeal to me is the sets and costumes. You don’t have to concentrate on what the main characters are doing or the plot, there is always some piece of set design or prop in the frame that will interest the eye.

Bit of Kagemusha, a bit of Flash Gordon. In the middle is Star Wars, so yes perfect.

Hopefully they can push it further in EpIX and have some Throne of Blood moments.

I’m surprised he managed to stay quiet, after selling up so he could move on he couldn’t stop talking about it.

The Boba Fett movie would have to be a Western.

What the heck is a binary load lifter?

It’s very similar to a moister vaporator.

Yes, to those kids he’s Santa Clause. I’ll agree with you on that. I wish I could still believe in Santa Clause…

Yeah it’s a real shame that when kids grow up they no longer believe in kindness, charity, and good will to all. They burn their false idols and never teach their own children about mythology to instil a sense of right on them.

Oh wait they don’t, and that was point of the movie.

its fine that people don’t like this movie, but you cannot deny that a large section think they are on a crusade against anything that isn’t white powerful and male. It’s gotten a lot worse since a certain person was elected as now they think their beliefs are accepted. It just makes me sick what the fandom has become.

Yeah it’s kinda sad. If Rey was Ray there would be no discussion. The same people ignore the OT Alliance leadership to cry about it in TLJ. It’s the same with those lunatics who said TFA was eroding the values of same race marriage or something. Ew.

My eyes, what have you done to them?

I know, emotional stuff. It’s just like TLJ.

Jeez just that gif alone is awful, weird skin, weird eyes, and the head is too elongated.

Please try and format one post correctly before making another four.

There’s a difference between piloting a speeder and an aircraft. A speeder is more like a car, while an aircraft is like an aircraft. I don’t think it’s hard to imagine that Finn knew how to operate speeders (in fact he does so in one of the TFA deleted scenes).

Right, his training included hovercrafts and melee combat but not ships and turrets.

Will someone please explain what the MCU has to do with Star Wars and/or why that’s bad?

Marvel Studios movies have jokes, Star Wars has jokes. So they’re identical.

TV’s Frink said:
5/100 is what your next-door neighbor’s terrible attempt at a movie deserves.

Exactly.

They wasted however much money on this and it just looked awful, when instead they should have spent time developing the characters that mattered. On paper. Good job.

between all the negative comments about Luke in this movie and how many people I heard claim Vader’s 30 seconds on Tantive IV was the absolute best part of Rogue One, I’m beginning to think maybe he was right… 😕

Agreed.

Also with added locations and rubbish ships (bomber) it appeals to the more patient.

I’m not sure what this part means either…
