I'm hoping JJ was severely inspired by Rian.

He said he really wanted to direct it when he read the script.

Crappy fan boy and franchise movies tend to lead to that. It's inherent in having a built in audience willing to sacrifice any amount of common sense and logic in order to keep up the myth of greatness of their movies.




And Rocky V never happened!

It's an incredibly well-reviewed film that will make gobs of money.

It also has a 7.6/10 imdb rating.

Ya'll are grasping at straws.

The film made me squeal with delight like I was 12 years old, dude.

It made me feel like I was watching the original trilogy.

To each his own.

I didn't especially like either film.

I've seen TFA a dozen times but it's still difficult for me to get through. TLJ had so much ridiculousness (the "Slow Space Chase", Snoke's easy death, Leia floating in space, Canto Bight, which missed on the obvious, and Luke running away) that I'll need to see it a few more times once it's available on VUDU next year in order to make a decision.

For the record, I can watch Rogue One any time of the day or night, even a year after release.

Pointing out stupid plot devices and inane dialogue (not to mention characters doing and saying things that make no logical sense to the story or the character) isn’t grasping at straws. If you like movies that fall apart when single plot threads are pulled then that’s fine. You have a low bar when it comes to being entertained. Nothing wrong with that. Just as there’s nothing wrong with expecting more from a movie that purports to be a sequel to other films.

We can all agree Rogue One kicks wholesale ass. I said after seeing it that this movie justified the sale to Disney and showed the potential of Star Wars in its hands.

Rumor is that Gareth couldn't quite crack the 3rd act, though, and they had to bring Tony Gilroy in to stick the landing. It's possible they’re gunshy on giving more work to Gareth for that reason.
