*SPOILER THREAD* Star Wars Rogue One

[Mook]

I need to see that scene again

 

[Sprayin]

It was a nice touch NOT having the scrolling text intro. It wasn't a episode of Star Wars, so leaving it out was better IMO.

 

[Mook]

Ya, it was also nice that they used some old music in the movie without relying on it. Just the right touch.

 

[Sprayin]

They absolutely nailed the nostalgia in it. It was all over it. And it wasn't done poorly. Even the CGI was top notch IMO.

 

[Mook]

They did nail nostalgia without NEEDING it to push the movie forward.

 

[VenomInside]

Going to go again tonight.

I am excite!

 

[bmoore04]

I think ill go again on Tuesday. $5 Tuesdays at marcus is a steal.

Question: When they transmit that message, and the rebels have all of those ships above the planet... you're telling me only the big one picks it up? You saw other ships escape just before Vader's ship arrived. None of them were listening for the message?

 

[Mook]

They specifically said that was the flagship for the rebels. It's not crazy to think they would be sending straight to that one. Why would an X wing or small ship get the transmission?

 

[Mook]

They also made it a point to say they were transferring a sizeable amount of data so likely few ships could do that with them. Something like that.

With information that valuable, it IS crazy to think that they would only try and send that to one ship. Otherwise they're the stupidest rebellion I've ever heard of.

If that information can fit on something the size of a floppy disk, and with the technology they have in the Star Wars universe, I find it incredibly difficult to believe that only a few ships would be capable of receiving the information.

 

[Mook]

They made it a point, of the final scene to say that its a ton of data to transport. Furthermore, why send it to multiple ships that are in combat and getting blown to shit. You send it to your command ship.

 

[Mook]

Plus, I mean they had to work with what A New Hope set up.

Its hard to compare the Star Wars universe with reality. Their "floppy disk" could hold like the equivalent of the internet on it for all we know.

 

[Wolfman]

Also, I wish Mikkelsen has more screen time. Hes a fantastic actor and I would have loved to see him interact with Vader or Tarkin.

I want a thrawn movie.

Why? Because it's such valuable information. If I had the secret of how to cure all disease of Earth, and I was dying, and there were 20 people gathered around me, and around all of us were people with guns shooting, trying to kill us (sorry, elaborate setup), would I risk that information dying with the biggest, strongest person of the 20 by only telling them, or would I tell as many people as I could?

But I agree. It needed to be done to set up for A New Hope. I wish they had just stopped all the other ships from leaving.

 

[Sprayin]

I don't think it's like "oh here ya go, everyone download while you can." it was transmitted to the flag ship because they responded to the dude at the shuttle who needed to flip that master switch. They were the only ones on the band. And as soon as they had it he gave the order for everyone to get the fuck out of of there.

 

[Lead Pipe]

I agree, I think transmitting the message was cheap. They should have kept it on the data tapes phsysically some how. Like one of the x wings picks it up at the tower and delivers it to the rebel ship.

 

[Mook]

WELL, they changed the ending

Felicity Jones has an option for a sequel, but that obviously cant happen now. In the trailers they show her running on the beach with the tape with other soldiers, which likely means she escapes on a ship.

The ending was what all the reshoots must have been about.

 

[Fish]

Im just waking up from my nap since I saw it this morning, but this was an amazing movie.

I cant be the only one comparing K-2SO to HK-47. I was just waiting for him to call someone a meatbag.

The way it was shown is far better than having her live. That was my favorite part of the story.

 

[Mook]

Oh, 100%.

Except for the Princess Leia CGI face. That was HORRIBLE.

Seagate has a 60TB 3.5" SSD on market today for enterprise level. Imagine having to transmit that data long-range. Would be nigh impossible. You would have to move it in a physical medium.

 

[Mook]

Leia was awful?

Tarkin was far far far more noticeable.

 

[GLADIATOR]

Epic.

Vader= walking death machine

Am I the only one that felt like they were trying to say the rebels were bad or kinda corpo ruled?

 

[cobra_spence]

I thought Leia was a bad CGI as well - did not mind the Tarkin CGI, enjoyed the scene with Vadar. The fact that this entire story was based off one or two lines from IV means that we could see a lot more little stories pop out - like maybe seeing the Falcon make the Kessel run or something. Watching Vadar hunt down Jedis during the purge would be fantastic.
