No one mentioning removing the mind reading monster with questionably CGI tentacles? That’d be one of my only cuts, unless someone can convince me to replace the entire prologue and first few scenes with a crawl.

In one of the trailers there was a scene where Jyn meets K2-SO and the droid says “The Captain say’s you are a friend, I will not Kill you.”

So it would appear that Cassian first met Jyn on Jedha in the original version. Most of the changes evolved around Bodhi Rook character being further developed as the messenger.

If you also remember Mon Mothma stating “we have intercepted a coded imperial transmission” so that would in effect render Bodhi’s role useless in the opening of the film and sans tenticle mind probe.

Basically most of the changes evolved around Bodhi Rook although this caused Saw Gerrera and his partisans to be diminished also no doubt.

This went on Further in the final act where he was the missing link to getting the link established with the fleet rather than running with the plans to the dish.

So Blame Bodhi Rook!!!

She evidently get’s hurt also explaining the limp on that run to the radar tower and change of clothes?

In this TV spot “Tonight”

Another Snippet of a deleted scene has been inserted…look at 20 second in.

Appears to be some sort of Skirmish on Jedha probably explaining the crashed x-wing fighters and alike. It’s a shot of Saw’s Rebels running into some sort of battle.

Man talk about Tease us…

EDIT:

Actually looking again the cliff is crumbling in the Back Ground don’t remember that shot though in the film…

How about this, I just read this somewhere else but thought it would / could be a good idea.

Leia escapes with the plans then the Death Star Fires on Scarif ending on Jyn & Cassian on the beach. White out.

The shots used were not from the original film they were Outtakes or deleted scenes.

Gareth Edwards got Access to them apparently a couple of reels?

He’s probably seen the shot where the Tie fighter pilot get’s blown up in cockpit now…

it would be in those reels probably. I’d love to see the deleted material what ever it was.

I have no idea, it depends if it is meant for more younger viewers which I would be fine with but it might not interest me as much… I treat individual films as just that, even if they are sequels or prequels. I like films based on their own merits or if I find them attractive or something interesting, I am looking forward to plenty of other films.

It’s not the end of the world if I don’t find episode VIII interesting… I might just watch the anthology films and chose to skip the main continuation of the Saga.

I will definitely go and see

Silence
Dunkirk
Alien Covenant
Bladerunner 2
50/50 on Ghost in the shell
Dark Tower - Was Really looking forward to it but I don’t dig the whole alternate reality slant they put on it so I’ll miss that one.

Watching TFA last year and RO this year have made the PT even more irrelevant in my mind because they’ve hammered home how poorly executed the PT is.

RO also renders TFA irrelevant. The reality for the fan base hasn’t fully burned in yet, but RO has grabbed the reins of the SW franchise and jammed it back on track. It’s a coup. In the end, Disney is going to have to rethink the direction of episodes 8 and 9 based on the sensational execution of RO.

Yeah ok. Good luck with that. RO will make a percentage of what TFA did, which was all because of repeat business and the OT actors. If the movie sucked people wouldn’t have come back to it. And, btw, reviews for TFA are better than RO. There’s MUCH more “heart” in TFA than there is in RO and you care a helluva lot more about the characters.
That’s not a slam against RO, which I loved, but my excitement about it has been tempered by subsequent viewings.

Personally what I take away from it is that Episode eight will be aimed at 5 - 10 year olds and the Anthologies hopefully will be aiming at higher age ranges teens to adults.

I don’t feel the sequel trilogy is really aimed at adults or at least that is my current perception unless they make the sequel trilogy more mature.

Give a fucking break. Star Wars films have always been for EVERYONE and have always had the power to make adults feel like a kid again. Just because Rogue One killed everyone doesn’t mean it’s aimed for adults and TFA isn’t. TFA is tonally on par with the OT and RO is a bit different by design. If you can’t handle stories that aren’t what you consider “more mature” that’s too bad for you. But saying Ep8 will be aimed toward 5-10 year olds is just ridiculous.

I really liked Looper by Rian Johnson… Are you Happy now?

Does anyone remember the very first version i did of that scene?

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x33l6es

And i was told by many that the planet needed to change because it was too blue. I guess i should have kept it the way it was originally 😉

It looks close enough to Scarif, doesn’t it? Why not use it when you do the HD version?

Just need to add a large crater Suggestions now closed

ok tell me off!!!

Why must the suggestions be closed? 😦

Because Ady knows what he’s going to do 😃

It’s Amazing almost like they took Ady’s suggestion it’s like a ready made sequel sort of in a few respects…I stuck ANH Revisited on this morning after watching Rogue One only the beginning mind…

Personally, the whole reason why I got into Star Wars is because of its tremendous heart and soul, which the OT had in abundance. Even Empire, which is the darkest of them all, has an over-abundance of it.

RO is great for a stand-alone but several of these and I’d no longer be a Star Wars fan. Give me the heart of Eps 4-7 on the regular and I’ll be very, very happy.

I think it’s a bad move to compare all the films and you don’t have to justify it to me why you like something or not.

I honestly thought that Rogue One was more like episodes 4-6 and nothing like 1-3 or 7

But 7 is closer to 4-6 than 1-3.

I’d take 7 any day rather than 1-3 but I just don’t feel invested in that story line that might change but I don’t really feel the need to go back and watch 7 (only seen it once) where as I would really go back and see Rogue one again because I really liked it.

Perhaps Rogue One will be a Freak Mishap?

They look fine until a certain point and then all of a sudden he just had these really red eyes pieces… That is why I call perhaps that was an insert.

Also CGI Raddus feels like an insert

Agree on “Prepare the escape pods” chop that out too they would always be ready.

Nope. They could have done some interesting stuff with the Krennic character but groveling to Vader isn’t accomplishing much. I’d be much more interested to see the deleted scene where he speaks to Vader of the immeasurable power of the station.

You make a good point and I wonder what the alternative was?

Was it simply Krennic Showing up to boast about the Death Star obviously Gareth Edwards referred to James Earl Jones saying “power” and it being one of his favorite moments…

Time will tell hopefully we get to know how the film was altered, and fill in the gaps.

I wonder if that Vader scene was an Insert and perhaps he actually just got pulled out the Tank when Tarkin summoned him?

I hope we get the full story or the various scripts it would be very interesting.

Vaders eyes all of a sudden become overly Red.

Tarkin is basically trying to claim that “He” is the mastermind behind the Death Star whilst it was not. Krennic has an outburst in front of all the Empiral War council about his achievements being stripped from him.

Krennic goes to Mustafa to visit Vader to assert his position as being the one “who made it happen” although Krennic relies on Galen.

Anyway Vader acknowledges Krennic’s situation but he sends him a strong warning to play ball with the chain of command otherwise he will be dead.

It is very important scene in establishing motive and chain of command and who are outsiders and who are in “the club” with the Emperor Krennic does not have that Luxury and is told to get back in line or his days are numbered.

Ultimately he and his advanced weapons research facility are vaporized in the mist of his failure. He got properly stitched up.

DominicCobb said:

The whole scene is unnecessary honestly. Cut it.

I think the scene is good but the Costume and the Voice need a bit of work…

I think it is a good scene as it establishes Vader as a type of Caged dangerous Animal fueled by Hatred. Palpatine’s / Tarkins pit bull.

But you can tell it did not have a on screen label like some of the other planets so it feels out of place in a way. Either Label them all or get rid of the Labels…

I would lean towards get rid of the Labels.

It also Establishes Vanee from Return of the Jedi.

The one right at the end is CGI for some bizarre reason.

Honestly this should be rectified for the Blu-Ray… I can’t remember that last line from Raddus but for me that is a definite Chop…Probably swap for the Shot of Vader looking at the screen or something.

I would also erase the probe droid in Jedha City - Not suitable for this location or scenario. That is the worst nod but because there was possibly a scene where they trek with some Locals to the city they could have been tracked by the probe droid from the wasteland and then K2-SO decided to leave the ship so the missing plot would then give the probe droid the significance and context. This could also be where the conversation was had between Cassian and Jyn where they agree and say “Good” to one another aboard the u-wing.

So if we get to see a missing plot point then that trace of the probe droid now makes sense.

“Several transmissions were beamed to a ship by rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.”

Fixed now?

I think that makes sense but if not then I don’t know was just enjoying the fun! 😃

Tweaky says

Beegeebeegeebeegeebeegee

A very minor tweak is required for 100% Line up of Rogue One and Star Wars (A new Hope)

“Several Transmissions were Beamed aboard this ship, I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you?” Original

“Several Transmissions were Beamed aboard a ship, I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you?” Fixed

If we could get a film with Rogue One’s brain and TFA’s heart, we’d have a perfect late period Star Wars movie. Here’s lookin’ at you, Rian.

This is really what it boils down to for me… This film does not treat the audience like some kind of thicko.

It respects it’s audience that it can actually think. Whilst it does have heart because you do feel for the characters when they pop their cloggs.

When Han died in TFA it was just oh ok they killed him bye Han… the way it was done I never felt anything.

In Rogue one I did feel something for the characters so Rogue One at least for me wins on both counts.

Although it would always be nice to get more character development Rogue One used it’s screen time ever so well, and you can’t fault it for achieving so much in such a small space of time with an ensemble cast I think.

There are further layers to the story that have been shaved off… So you will have to buy the Novel to the film or the Graphic novel for those if you want to know what was cut back on character development.

I am Glad to say this won’t be my last trip to see a Star Wars movie under new Disney they won me back on this one.

Willheim screen when Jyn takes the gun and pushes the storm trooper off the ledge on EADU.

A mate I went with was “Bothered” by Vaders Neck piece that seems to be sticking out so yeah weird costume issue.

Why did General Raddus suddenly become a CGI Raddus now there’s a curiosity and I wish it could have remained his puppet version throughout the film.

What’s the name of the planet where Krennic visits Vader? Was that supposed to be Mustafar or somewhere else?

That was Mustafar. Paublo Hidalgo said as much on twitter… well he didn’t as much say it outright but he did allude to it from a line in the rebels season 1 finale which did take place on mustafar.

Vader won’t set foot on Tatooine, but he’ll buy a summer home on the planet where he almost burned to death? 😉

Palpatine’s pit bull is kept firmly in the hate zone…

Just come out from seeing it and I have to say I very much enjoyed it… It is a major rebound back to something that at least means something and does have feeling to it. I felt something from watching the film and reacted a few times to things that happen.

Small gripe Vader does not sound right they have left too many high frequencies in JEJ voice I feel. Right at the end I felt it started to get a bit over sentimental but it was ok.

Basically my Rating for this film is a solid and entertainment 8.5/10

I think it’s perhaps wishful thinking rather than, actually what I think…

Dash Rendar was created to replace Han Solo while he was in Carbonite and it’s actually not a bad idea.

His Ship is in Star Wars and another one now so he’s definitely about the galaxy.

+Glover looks the right age to play Lando at the time of Return of the Jedi.

I think this will be a movie adaptation of Shadows of the Empire.

And the bloke Slated to be cast as Han-Solo will be Dash Rendar.

I am probably 100% wrong but it would be better to go for that era and follow that Story perhaps?

I don’t think things like the Kessel run make a movie or how Han got the Falcon keep him in Carbonite I say…

Quite like Dash nothing like Han…

There’s a good reason this did not end up in the film!!!

😃

Joe Johnston oh my god that would be brilliant…Some bloke called Trank or Tank was Slated to take it on but I thik he was ditched… Could be a TV thing and not a film.

Apparently further plans are being Drawn up for Forrest Whittaker Saw Gerrera depending on Success I think… He was always attached to the TV series that was never made.

Just the Teaser was filmed and the film was put on Ice or should I say frozen in carbonite 😃
