    rogue one is a fantastic movie honestly. like, a real gem in all the modern star wars films IMO. (my favorite of them all is the force awakens, because i LOVED finn and rey and their character potential). but man! a movie all about the true driving force of the rebellion: not the jedi, not the skywalkers, but people from all walks of life making the ultimate sacrifice to keep hope alive. fantastic music, fantastic visuals, interesting characters that you wish you had more time with, a real sense of the sheer scale of the war and its destruction. i'm always feeling a rewatch of this one.

    She blames him for her father being killed, when he had nothing to do with it.

    Yes he had orders to kill her father, and HE DISOBEYED THOSE ORDERS.  There is no parallel to be drawn between him and a stormtroopers who mindlessly follows all orders no matter how wrong.

    She idiotically compares the fact that he had orders at all to a stormtrooper and you for some reason agreed with her.  She is saying disobeying an order you know is wrong is the same as following it because she's lashing out and blaming anybody she can for her father's death.  Her statement is objectively stupid and wrong, but she gets a pass for being stupid here because she's in shock and is grieving.

    I think you guys latched on too heavily with the "following orders" idea in that scene. the order given had completely sound logic "assassinate this weapon's manufacturer and imperial collaborator", I only say this because comparing that order, one that Cassian disobeyed because he had outside knowledge, to Stormtroopers who'd follow orders to massacre an entire village is really missing the forest for the trees.

    Oh, and most of the fandom likes EP 7, too. It's just that Ep 7 is very similar to EP 4 if you think about it. But the central conflict is thinking of how 7 interacts with 8 and 9. It's 8 and 9 that the Fandom doesn't like. but watch the films, think about how you feel about them as a stand-alone film, than how it affects the trilogy, and then how it affects the previous movies.

    I promise this is my final comment. Rouge 1 is liked by the majority of the fandom. I think the few who dislike it are that there is so little time with the characters and that you know they are all going to die in the end. But the music was great, and the visuals, action, and story were good; in my opinion, the characters did grow, believe it or not, and everything flowed nicely. 

    Everyone considers this the best Disney Star Wars film and it is also one of the most diverse. No one complains about the cast. Andor, I think, is Latino, but he is a rebel badass who goes too far sometimes; Jyn becomes a leader, and gains hope after everything is taken from her. She becomes strong and grows into her role. K was a unique robot that left the empire with great, funny moments. The pilot is Indian, maybe, and feels natural that there is a variety of people in this galaxy; he is scared and chooses to be brave and do the right thing. Baze and Chirrut are Asian, I think, and were protectors of a temple, and that feels fine. We see Jedi of different races and species. Overall, these characters evolve throughout the movie, and it was never marketed to the public as, "Look guys, Look at how inclusive we are; the lead is a woman, and all the supporting cast is nonwhite people." And fans appreciate this. Disney was like, there are some open-ended questions from the original; let's answer them in this film and make it its own thing. This film is an easy 9/10 for me.

    I think this is a big issue Disney has had with its Star Wars content since Ep 8. Disney didn't take any significant risks with its projects, and it focused on outside messaging rather than on the film itself. Rouge One showed different main characters, different species, and a lot of world-building by showing new planets, strengthening the current story of Star Wars, and integrating well between Ep 3 and 4. This leads to the issue with the alcholyte. It didn't straighten or build upon pre-established Star Wars content. The world could have been more dynamic; the characters didn't naturally grow and could have been more creative, character-wise. 

    Glad you enjoyed it and hope you enjoy the future content. I am here for the fun adventure of clone wars!

    I originally didn't like this movie. Especially because I don't remember how I found out, but learning that this film was a prequel to Ep 4, I knew that everyone had to die. I just thought since the actors of the original trilogy were older, there was no way they could make a prequel film with characters from the original unless it was animated or there was a good look-alike. In summary, I thought this film was pointless until I watched it. I still wasn't a fan at first, because my suspicions were true, but it was way better than I thought. After some time and rewatching it, it is the best Disney star wars to date. We have very little time with the characters but they all grow. The pilot becomes brave, Jyn finds hope and purpose, Andor cares for others, K grows to understand others and fight even against all odds, chirrut (blind guy) fulfills his purpose to help others and follow the force, and Baze (the guy with a big gun) learns to trust the force and regain his spirit to help others. It is a tragic story but so good.

    You can watch Mando S1 now if you want but don't watch further. Andor is also good to go. And yes the show is about this Andor we saw. I haven't seen Andor myself yet, but I want to. I have heard nothing but great things about it. Also you can watch star wars Visions, there are about 9 shorts made by different animation companies and its a fun watch.

    Sorry, Ruff, you are wrong there. I am pretty sure that in the original trilogy, they mention that the crystals are the ones that power the Death Star. Fans did not hate the idea; I would say a lot like it. Use the weapon that monks used to protect the innocent and keep peace. It's fitting for a wrong person to use a weapon meant to protect the innocent to kill and harm innocent people.  I am sure Ruff, when you see the more recent content Disney gave us SW fans and think how it affects the story, you will agree with us.

    "The prequels are better than the original trilogy" Is a spicy hot take that I wholeheartedly agree with.  The prequels are what got me into StarWars I remember seeing Return of the Jedi on TV when i was a kid but the Prequels and the Clone Wars is what solidified my love for Star Wars. The OG trilogy and Prequels were fantastic, Rogue One and The Force Awakens are great. The last two movies were okay in my opinion they're not terrible but definitely the weakest movies in my opinion

    As a movie, this one is fine. Not great, just fine. It's got some cool action and a lot of fan service, but none of the characters are interesting. Everyone died, and the only one i actually felt sad about was the robot because he's funny. It has the spaceships, the blasters, and the lightsabers, but it's missing what made the originals special, which was heart.

    8 and 9 are just as good if not better the 7. The issue is that 7, 8, and 9 feel like they weren't well planned so they didn't know where they were going and it feels that way watching them.

    Just to say, Mandalorian takes place after Ep 6 ie Original Trilogy so you can be good to go. It eludes to the rise of the First Order with the Fallen Empire stuff, but now that you've seen Ep 7, it's all you really need to know. Boba Fett and Ahsoka shows branch off from the series, you'll know when to start those, no spoilers.

    SOME SPOILERS: While y'all be plugging along well with Clone Wars, you're a bit behind by the modern movie releases and so you might want to hold off on Solo until Season 4 of Clone Wars.

    I'm convinced that some people just really like looking for reasons to hate on stuff, and Star wars is a prime example of that. I feel that a lot of people just really over analyze the plots of these movies for plot holes, so they can complain about them later. Like, my dudes, just enjoy the space battles, and lasersword fights.

      Not everyone is satisfied by flashy setpieces. Most audiences go to watch movies for plot, cinematography, world-building, continuity, conflict, and most importantly an interesting story; all things that the sequel trilogy lacks. I don't blame people one bit for hating them so much. They are objectively shoddy from a writing standpoint

    Honestly, it's still a great movie, definitely the best one Disney has made, but it's also one I don't return to often because I don't enjoy watching it. Sure it's this theme of hope, but the sacrifices for it just leave me bummed. Also really just didn't care too much about the main cast; didn't want them to die, but I wasn't interested in them either. So I wouldn't say I don't like Rogue One, if anything I appreciate it, but it's not one I would put on my watch list for any future viewings. Now let's see how 8 pans out because that's when all the trouble with Disney Star Wars truly reared its head.

    Rogue One is my absolute favorite! It does the deaths so well without it feeling like shock value, I can watch it a hundred times and never get bored with some of these scenes.

     

    Now funfacts time!

    - Bodhi Rook (The Pilot) is played by Riz Ahmed who is Ballister in Nimona.

    - K2SO is Alan Tudyk and I'm pretty sure this is the first ever appearance of the Security Droids

    - The Vader hallway scene was referenced with Anne in Amphibia towards the end of the series

    - Jiang Wen, who played Baze Malbus, literally learned English for this role because his kids read the script and told him that he had to take the role.

    He and Donnie Yen (Chirrut Imwei) have worked on films together in China and are friends IRL.

    So two really funny facts about facts about this movie

    1. In order for Vader to have his dramatic appearance in the dark hallway, he had to turn of the lights on his chest, meaning he turned off his LIFE SUPPORT for the sake of a cool entrance

    2. Episode 4 picks up right after this, when Vader catches Leia, she claims they're on a diplomatic mission and have nothing to do with the rebels..........after being chased from the scene of a massive rebel battle

    Honestly, Rogue One is one of the only NEW-ish Star Wars movies that I have no issues with in any regard whatsoever. Sure, I'm sad that the characters we grew close to died, but I went to watch this in theaters, fully expecting everyone to die because of the Senator saying, "Many Bothians died getting us these plans." I was sobbing coming out of the theater, but it was so accurate to the lore that it made me feel satisfied at the same time.

    Fun fact about blue squadron that participated in the attack on Scarif.
