Rogue One Discussion !!!SPOILERS!!!

[Mr Tough Guy]

Have to wonder why no A or B wings were present, considering the new cannon has the rebels having both of those before they got X and Y wings....Yes I know that doesn't make sense, but Rebels :/

Think it's because this is supposed to be the same force that was shown in A new Hope, so it wouldn't make sense to show A- and B-wings since they weren't shown in A New Hope, yes there are a few ships present that we didn't see in A new Hope, like the VCX-100 and the hammer heads, but it's easier to explain a few missing large and capital ships then entire squadrons of fighters

I have seen it yesterday and I loved it!!! A real war film as far as a SW film can go in that direction ! Would like to see it again in a row with IV.

[Furt]

Seen it - loved it!!

Vader's "display" was worth the admission price alone! Gave me chills - now that's how I want a Dark Lord of the Sith to be portrayed!! 

[rumacara]

And as someone pointed out "the x-wing fat pilot always dies"...

[huesped]

In fact is RED5, that later will be substituted by Luke Skywalker.
....luckily he was slim.  

Oh, by the way!!! Look who appears briefly in the movie! i didn't knew!

Damn I missed that Chopper cameo. It would've been nice to have Phoenix squadron checking in at the Battle too.

I took my 4 year old little boy just like my dad took me to see A New Hope when I was 4.  We both loved it, though Grampa is no longer interested in seeing more Star Wars. 

I thought they did a fine job though you could tell that Disney watered down an ambitious, gritty film to appeal to more little kids without scaring them.  Vader in the bacta tank could have been a really, really gritty image.

I LOVED the cameos in there, like the two criminals who accosted Luke, the probe-bot (like on Hoth) going through town, etc.  I LOVED the environments, lots of rain, dirt, and a great view of the Rebel base in the rain forest. 

I liked seeing the fighters laid out on the tarmac, Star Destroyer hovering over a city, limited use of the Death Star, like they are exercising it before really letting loose (makes sense to the test engineer in me). 

I liked seeing things busy, like a real base, with aircraft, utilities, and stuff all over.  One of the things I like best about Star Wars (and James Bond) is that the films take us to new and different places I never would have imagined.

A few quibbles the model-maker in me had, though - that tank design was a fail, Vader's gorget was somehow strange looking, Forest Whittaker's character should have showed some more metal. 

I did not understand why there would be those levers out in strange, exposed areas on the Imperial Library base (forgot the name) but OK, part of the story, I can roll with that.

The sound was great, too.  Powerful, made me want to duck a few times.  I hated the sound in Eps. 1-3.  It was silly and whimpy. 

Curiously, I discovered that the sound engineer in charge of Eps. 1-3 was the brother of a classmate of mine in college.  I should have held my tongue back then.

 If you mean the Imperial Juggernaut, it is Star Wars canon from back in the 80's.

Thanks.

I believe the Ghost has a small cameo in the film too.  And "General Syndulla" is mentioned - Hera or her father?

Not going to see it until next week but don't mind the spoilers!

[pocoloco]

Saw it yesterday, love it  Was pretty disappointed with the VII so this redeemed so much of the SW universe to me.

I saw it today and completely agree with you

And here's something nice. All the shots from the trailers/teasers that didn't end in the final cut of the movie:

ROGUE ONE - 46 SHOTS NOT IN THE FINAL FILM

[OSHIROmodels]

Loved it! One thing that bothered me...did the Death Star look more complete than in Episode IV?

[Keith]

Nope. It's incomplete in VI (Death Star MkII) :-)
