I thought the main bad dude (Kraddic or something) was excellent.
Buuuuuut, what was Lea doing in a Corvette from a Calamari flagship in the middle of that battle? Bit of a hole that...
Bear in mind it was about 2 in the morning so i might be wrong but hadn't the dying rebel handed off the plans to his mate and they escaped ? ( also couldn't DV have used the force to grab them? )
He was a good bad guy but a bit of a pussy compared to DV and MT
It's hardly a spoiler but it was a bit of a downer that every single member of Rogue one bit the dust in the end. New territory for a SW film.
Hope my boys cope seeing it on Saturday with me!

I think that was the one downer for my eldest. Seeing every single one get killed was pretty tough for him to stomach. The droid too, who was a billion times cooler than 3PO.

He was cool. Very strong too. How come whatshername took out the bad version with one shot but the stormtroopers took about a million shots to finish him off?

because she hit his exhaust port. Don't you know anything?

Nerd alert*
Apparently the walkers were a slightly earlier model than the ones that kicked arse on Hoth.
They looked a bit tinny.
It took an absolute age for the TIE fighters to launch though.

I thought it was a good fun and a little bit dark movie to watch.
Good action, decent comedy, and they didn't blow the ending of a suicide mission.
I do wish that a younger Admiral Ackbar was the captain of the hammerhead ship that smashed into the Destroyer though.
Peter Cushing is looking good for a 100+ old dude.
agree about whatshername being as tough as she was....let's not forget Luke was an absolute bitch in a fight until Obi Wan trained him.
She wasn't a farm girl when we first meet her, she had been with Forest Whittakers cell for years and was in prison presumably for doing bad ass shit against the Empire so she clearly already had some skills.

Good point about Jyn I'll wear that.
Obviously fish faced blokes are tactical geniuses in battle, they kick ass !
Some piston wristed gibbons on Facebook are saying it's too dark to take kids to, obviously they've moaned all they can about Trump and Key. Firstly in all the rest of the movies everyone dies at some stage aside from the droids, luke and Leia and chewie. Secondly my kids will kick me repeatedly in the nuts if i don't take them.

Anyone seen the 3D version yet? Like TFA I watched the normal version first but will see it in 3D over Xmas.
As to the movie, good to see some nuggets in Rogue One to satisfy the fanboys (and girls).
The ending could have been done a little better, given R2D2 makes an appearance earlier but it does provide the transition between Ep 3 and 4.
K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) was the scene stealer.
The final scene with Jyn and Cassian reminded me of These Final Hours.

Another nitpick. At the start of ANH it says that the alliance had won their first battle over the empire.
In this film they caused some serious damage but they can hardly be said to have won. They even lost their largest ship and top generals. In fact, had they not got hold of the plans, this would have been a catastrophic loss.

Just got back from taking 6 year old CFJ to the movie. Took a while to get going as they explained the back story but I thoroughly enjoyed the film. So did he after he stopped asking to go home over and over during the first 30 minutes.... The acting was a major step up compared to Lucas directed films, I don't know how bad the film was to need all the supposed re-shooting but it looked great. Also good to see Vader kick some ass, making short work of the rebel soldiers instead of leaving it to his stormtroopers like in Ep4. Four imperial probe droids out of five for me

Out of all the characters in the SW universe, why choose a probe droid????

Gotta get out more to appreciate a probe droid? Are you a dentist or a proctologist?

You just feel the need to question every little thing. There no reason why I chose them, just did

FFS Dr Drill, it was a joke. Lighten the hell up. It was just a bit of juvenile humour.

Back on point I thought the film was far better than ep7 -

Back on point I thought the film was far better than ep7Yes I really enjoyed it. Didn't like Ep 7 and at all and felt Disney did a much better job here. Sad thing is, they could have potentially built a trilogy based on these guys (like the series). That droid in particular would be a massive hit. Think they missed a good opportunity there.
