They are very efficient. Making a big budget movie in just 12 months, even with multiple studios, is very impressive. Wonder how many years they plan to keep this going.
I'd consider Rogue One better than 'passable', but maybe that's just me.
And I struggle to understand what measurements people use when they say Episode 7 was bad, but Episodes 4 - 6 were good. I'd understand if someone just didn't think the cheesy 'adventure' style movies where protagonists are usually bullet-proof were at all to their tastes, or if they acknowledge that the films are not high art in any form xD But if you find the original films enjoyable I don't see how Episode 7 falls short, they're very much cut from the same cloth.

Rogue One was much better than Force Awakens and it saddens me that they both couldn't be good.Its because Rogue One had Donnie Yen :P visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Rogue One wasn't a super mature movie but in comparison to the regular star war movies it was. The good guys don't all make it out, there is a lot of sacrifices made and the story was more interesting. Granted its still a star wars movie and stuff happens that is out of place or only would occur in a movie but its still better than Force Awakens because the story demanded that sacrifices be made. And they didn't shy away from that by making it so nameless characters or characters you've only seen once were the ones that did it.
And yeah watching the Force Awakens and having a cheat sheet of the original trilogy would have told you exactly what was going to occur in the movie. Just.. sad. New characters, new names, same story. If they do a better job with the next 2 movies and move the story along a different path, awesome. They just might do that and there's room for it but I don't know if they will in any meaningful way.

I want Kyle Katarn to be canon reeeeeee(click to show/hide)
Trailer looks alright, spoilers a bit too much imo. I won't think that much about it until I've seen it
Professionally trained soldiers alright, standing behind their target, isn't laser supposed to be strong enough to penetrate? Though it never really has in any movies etc.
Stormtroopers are always doing stupid shit, but hey it looked cool in the movies, they also probably didn't expect getting their arses kicked by a blind guy armed with a stick.
But they aren't actually "lasers" all the guns that fire those "laser" looking projectiles are called Blasters. As far as I remember reading, they fire bolts of energized gas, so like plasma or something, they explode on impact with varying degrees of damage. I know it's something along those lines anyway, I am sure there are more nerdy words out there for it.
And on Rogue One, it is one of the best Star Wars movies made, I don't care what anyone says, it's an awesome movie overall and it had the most epic fucking ending. I watched it twice at the Cinema, once with a friend so I could enjoy it myself and judge if I think my Son would actually watch it all, then again with my Son who is a Star Wars fan and yes he did enjoy it, he almost shat his pants in excitement at the ending when Vader fucks shit up.
pretty much this. I suspect anyone who shits on rogue one just having a boner for contrarianism, or somehow was in a weird mood when watching the movie, as that can fuck up the xp as well.
