If RO can slot at least better than rots I'll be relatively happy.

I really hope it's better because being worse than that means there's serious issues with that movie.

[Lifejumper]

Why are you guys ranking RO...?

 

[Davide]

My ranking... TESB > TFA > ANH > ROTS > ROTJ > TPM > AOTC

I'm expecting this to be in between ANH and ROTS but it would be nice if it surprises. None of the trailers look as good or as exciting as TFA to me.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Why are you guys ranking RO...?

Hope

 

[Surfinn]

I'm hoping it's almost as good as TFA and much better than EP3.

 

[Timu]

Why are you guys ranking RO...?

Predictions. It will change once it's out.

 

[Cross-Section]

Predictions are built on hope!

I liked III

More than I probably should have.

Yep, that is true, lol.

I just hope it turns out good, which is the most important thing.

It's clearly the best of the PT. It's got it's moments.

I like it as well. By far my favourite of the prequels. It's got it's problems but I always have a good time with it.

Yep, Episode 3 is the best of the prequels. I do like the Order 66 scene as well. Shame about it's issues, but hey, at least it's not Episode 2.

Yeah! It has some high highs, but those lows can be pretty darn low. I like a lot of the pieces in it to the point that my ranking would be all messed up, haha. But V and VI are on top for me. I saw A New Hope out of order, after Empire and Jedi, so my love and ranking for the franchise is a little odd.

3 was pretty good. I wish the last 10 min were not so rushed, but it was good.

Oh wow, crazy. Personally I really liked VI a lot. I saw the original ones in order a year before the special editions were even made.

3 was pretty good. I wish the last 10 min were not so rushed, but it was good.

It was alright and I definitely like watching it the most out of the prequels.

 

[kevin1025]

Oh wow, crazy. Personally I really liked VI a lot. I saw the original ones in order a year before the special editions were even made.

Yeah, it was when the special editions hit VHS. I saw Empire in a rental store and the cover looked incredible so I got it and watched it as many times as I could, then returned it and got Jedi. Then when I got the box set I finally saw A New Hope. So my first experience to Star Wars was Empire and it broke my mind.

 

[Timu]

Might have to rewatch the Star Wars movies again to prepare, at least this time TFA can be added...though having to sit through Episode 2 again will suck, so I hope to get to that.

I'm definitely going to rewatch Star Wars and the Onderon arc of The Clone Wars before Thursday. Only 60 pages of Catalyst to go now too.

Impressions from BoxofficeZ from boxofficetheory:

I'm still trying to process it, but it was an awesome movie. Reminded me in terms of tone and of what people said what they were aiming for with the movie before the it came out. Star Wars fans will probably love it (I don't see why not). Some quick thoughts:

It was basically everything you want in a Star Wars movie, war, emotion, intense moments, humor, great action, crazy visuals.

Not sure if it was the result of Edwards influence or not, but stuff that was massive actually looked massive (various ships, AT-ATs, Death Star) as we saw in the trailers. Imagine my joy to see the all the stormtroopers again and their equipment. Best looking troops in the galaxy with fabulous uniforms. The rebels would have won if their uniforms looked incredible IMO. The 3D looked pretty decent I guess, but I'm not one to get overexcited for it.

Giacchino's soundtrack was marvelous. Its not the Star Wars theme (though some recognizable bits), but its eerily similar to Star Wars, if you know what I mean. You know its Star Wars!

Characters and flaws themselves I'll write on later, I have dinner and work to deal with, though now I see why everyone loved the robot heh.

I will definitely say its the best prequel, but that wouldn't be fair because I dislike all the Star Wars prequels though ROTS was half okay. Might put it above ROTJ.

He compared to the seven samurai.

Now the real hype begins here!!!

 

[Lifejumper]

Now the real hype begins here!!!

Would still keep it in check.
More:

Just mentioning, there's always other people at these kind of things, not going to waltz in there and watch a unreleased movie by myself.

One guy I know says it was his favorite Star Wars film after ESB, but he's a huge fan of the series, so might be him being biased. Not sure about other people, I didn't exactly walk around and conduct a poll.

Also put me down for 200M OW, and 600-650m DOM. Its Star Wars, don't underestimate it.

Then I hope it's better than that other Seven Samurai film this year. God, The Magnificent Seven was awful.

Nice find. Curious to read what he has to say about the characters.

 

[rekameohs]

Just wait for the Patton Oswalt reaction, folks, he's generally a pretty good barometer for

okay, never mind

I think TFA is excellent, but lol that last shot sucked.

 

[The Hermit]

After TFA I don't care about spoilers anymore.

Gonna check in here to see if this time it worth the trouble

 

[RyanW]

I don't think anyone should get too excited about that guy's review.

But Suicide Squad was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Phew, my optimism is redeemed!

How many times is everyone planning on seeing Rogue One in theatres?

 

[Quick]

Phew, my optimism is redeemed!

Probably a couple of times at least.

With friends, with family, and just me.

So far I just have tickets for Thursday night and Saturday.

A clip fresh off Jimmy Kimmel Live showcasing a bit of the Eadu approach. It's good stuff (and well-utilizes my favorite bit of that scoring video from earlier today).

 

[sphagnum]

I hope K2 survives so he can pop up in other stuff. He'd probably be fun facing off with 000.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

All I want to know is are there any other cameos in the film

Spoiler

jar jar

and what size role does Vader have.

 

[cLOUDo]

My bet is

Spoiler

they fail to steal the plans, so they will try again in Rogue two

Boom.gif

K2 seems to be really good in all of the scenes he's in.

Thinking about it now, we know very little about the circumstances surrounding the Death Star II. It just seemed to pop out of nowhere as far as the movies are concerned. Maybe if they make a "Rogue Two" people's questions about those darned Bothans will finally be answered...

 

[Shy]

Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that there won't be a Rouge Two.

But what did the Rogue One crew do before the movie?

ROGUE ZERO COMING CHRISTMAS 2019

I noticed that out of the few impressions we've seen so far, no one's mentioned a sad ending. Maybe it's more hopeful that I think it will be.

Or maybe it's wishful thinking and those guys are fucked. We'll see.
