Rogue One Discussion !!!SPOILERS!!!

[OSHIROmodels]

I may cause some tension here........but I didn't like it!

Not at all mate...

Just hang your head in shame and don't forget to close the door when you leave 

Get the Art of Rogue One as there are some cracking ideas for stuff in there.

I do agree with your points but I'm not letting them get in the way of the fact I nearly wet myself watching it 

cheers

Not sure what to think of it.

On the plus side I liked the way they tried to match styles with the originals movies. Haircuts and moustaches ... I really liked it.

Other than that .... I missed a few things that were already mentioned - scroll thingy at the start, original Star Wars theme etc.
But what had me scratch my head was, that they were able to down an AT-AT with a "puny" door gun, whilst (Star Wars time-line-wise) 5 years later their landspeeder-mounted-big-a**-cannons couldn't scratch the paint of an AT-AT on Hoth? ... Seriously?

What really pissed me off though was that I didn't find a cinema showing the movie in 2D ... wearing glasses and 3D glasses annoyed me big time and surely made me give the movie not the credit it deserved. Which could explain my first thought at the end of the movie: "It was ok ... and I really like the fact that none of the main cast will show up in another movie ...."

I know ... I am an angy old white man ... maybe I should apply for Director Krenneks job ...

Does feel a bit like a guilty pleasure, doesn't it? Hell, I found issues I've not heard mentioned yet.

But those moments, when almost 40 years melted away, and there was no effort in suspending disbelief, you KNOW I cherish.

The couple of pages of Jedha extras - particularly the silhouettes page - was worth the cover price alone for me!

Agreed: The art of R1 is a nice book and good companion to my old Ralph/Joe SW sketchbooks.

Oh, it's been confirmed that the "General" Syndulla is Hera, not Cham. 
Rogue TWO is also in the film (radio chatter lifted from ep4) but it's hard to hear.

I watched the movie today with my nephew and we both really enjoyed it. It was fast paced and full of the right moves and one liners. I'm looking to see it again the week after Christmas. It is well worth the bucks spent.

Saw it tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it.  A good story with great action scenes, the whole thing dovetailed perfectly with EP IV.  I choose to discount the oddities of film production such as why there was an 8 track player at the top of the Dish Array, and the Dish was aligned by a console at the end of a precarious walkway 1,000 feet from the ground.  The CGI Tarkin and Leia was not perfect but perfect enough to move the story along.

I saw EP IV as a 13 year old at the Odeon Leicester Square in 1977 and was spellbound.  This one came close and I will see it again.

X-Wing have announced two of the Rogue One ships

U-wing
https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/11/28/valuable-intel/

I already bought a U-wing from Hot Wheels yesterday from a department store for about US$ 12 and then saw it in the supermarket for about US$ 9 an hour later.  
I plan to use this with the dial and cards from another ship (possibly Slave I)

TIE Striker
There is also a new TIE Striker fighter for the Empire

Rogue One Cargo Shuttle
The Imperial Rogue One Cargo Shuttle is available in the Star Wars Black Titanium Series which is probably a bit small for X-Wing.   I may buy it and use it with the dial card and stands for the Imperial Shuttle.

Yes, the dead ones.

You mean just like Obi-Wan and Vader and the Inquisitor?  Hand those figures back at once, young man!

I reckon after Jabba's Palace we'll see Endor (Ewoks!), then Rebels then Rogue One.  The last two may be the other way round, of course, depending on customer demand.  X-Wing has ships from both already.

That's what I thought funnily enough! That list could go on. I had in mind an Enforcer droid, that'd be a great addition.

I think it's appropriate to post this here:

Carrie Fisher suffered a major heart attack yesterday. She is still in intensive care as we speak.

And the Art Book for the movie looks spectacular. Lots of inspirational images and drawings:
