I really loved this movie. The only negative thing I have to say is that I really dont think the scene with Forrest Whitakers tentancle monster went anywhere..... was there any point to have that scene in the movie? It just seems that scene let to something that was explained in a deleted scene. But anyway, I do feel that Rogue One was the movie I had been waiting for, for years.

I thought the same thing after watching the end of the film. It is clear in the begining of A New Hope that Vader does NOT believe the crew of Tantive IV when they claim to be in a diplomatic mission. Also, the ship was docked to the Rebel command ship during the battle of Scarif, and we know thanks to the novel that the Admiral made a sudden decision when moving the fleet to join the battle. These are the explanaitions I found the most reasonable but I may be very likely wrong.
@benjohnson50587 жыл бұрын
Tom Goodwin I believe that Leia had originally gone back to Yavin IV, but all the rebel ships were needed on Scarif. She felt that going on that mission was her only chance to get to Obi Wan. As for why she tried to tell him it was a diplomatic mission, I believe that was because the Tantive IV was one of hundreds of models. For all we know, Vader had spent weeks searching every Tantive ship he could find before he finally found Leia in A New Hope.

if they gave us more time with the characters than people would be pissed & bitching that they all died at the end & would want more movies with them. the way they handled the characters was really good. kept it simple & no attachment. remember the whole point of the movie is the death star plans & how the rebels got them. yes characters matters but the plans are the whole point of the movie

"the way they handled the characters was really good. kept it simple & no attachment." exactly my thoughts but at the same time they put in more than enough to allow for further expansion of the characters and I don't know about you but for me some of the best moments for a lot of characters come for books/comics

It sucks for some people because I know alot of people aren't going to sit & read a couple of books that tell more of these characters or even the story but reading a book or comic is alot better because they put alot more into it because a movie is time based. I read a Vader book set after episode three & all the details it had in that book were amazing. It talked about the ball thing (I forgot what it was called) that we see him in in the empire strikes back & explains that he built it & why he built it. He even goes to Alderaan to go talk to Bail organa & alot of cool things happen there

The interesting thing for me is many people says "we don't get to know characters" i felt very attached to them from the beggining, and i knew books/comics/shows will expand on them, its not like we got everything from Maul/Bobba Fett/Biggs right away, little patience goes a long way, i get books are always "better" than movies, but to include all these details the movie would have been 3 hours or more ... or even worse made into 2 movies (wich is a thing i hate of the movies based on books nowdays) ... I can see you are excited with the movie, but i do also think people is asking way to much for a stand alone, i think its cool the way it was made and if you don't feel connected maybe its lack of empaty in your personallity (not saying this in offensive way, some people are easly more affected by this type of things, like me).

Jose Reyes I completely agree with everything you just said. It feels like everyone needs to have a character's entire backstory in order to care about them now a days. In old classics like Seven Samurai and the Magnificent Seven (the origional), which i think Rogue One has many similarities with, you did not need to know the backstory of all of the characters in order to care about them or feel bad for them when they died.

Really, only two things bug me in the movie. First, what you already said. And considering this is probably the shortest Star Wars movie to date (the longest still being AotC at 2.24), you can see why. Had they given it an extra twenty or even thirty minutes, the beginning part probably wouldn't have been so choppy and rushed. Second, and this is a spoiler. The ending. It probably took at least 5 minutes or more for that elevator to get down to the surface and for them to walk to the beach. Them staring longingly into each others eyes in elevator made me realize I wanted more of them, that I wanted to see that relationship carried on. So them getting vaporized really set a nerve for me. Again, they had a few minutes to get a ship and try to outrun and escape the blast.

The soldier who was killed away from Jedda City experienced pain because her armor kept her alive long enough to burn instead of being vaporized. So I don't think Jyn and Cassian necessarily experienced the same level of pain. Unrelated, I really liked how Jyn's internal conflicts were described in the book used the metaphor of the hatch.

For me, one of the most moving scenes in the book detailed K-2's last 12 seconds before total deactivation where he went through countless microsecond scenarios in order to choose the best outcome for Cassian & Jyn before his final 12 seconds expired:-) Having read the prequel novel (Catalyst: A Rogue One Story) before reading this book, I truly appreciated the groundwork that had been developed regarding Galen Erso's relationship with Director Orson Krennic. Because of this, I did have sympathy for both Galen & Orson--not just Galen. I could go on & on, but that's enough for now:-)

Just a thought could the Stellar Sphere project be Death Star 2 and War Mantle project be the Sovereign/Eclipse class star dreadnoughts? After all it would put back their development if they lost some of the superlaser design data from Scarif

the exhaust port design flaw wouldn't work, due to the pressure of the exhaust, the heat and distance to the center of the death star. There is many other reasons which dorkly covered, even though that was made as satire the argument makes sense.

Does the novelization expand on what we saw with the ending specifically on the Tantive IV because it bothered me that R2 / 3PO's cameo was on Yavin instead of the Tantive IV and now i'm left wondering about the timing on when did they board the Tantive When Bail already left earlier .
@mr.e82267 жыл бұрын
did the novel explain why Tarkin thought it was a good idea to use the death star on the miltary base on Scarif. I'd think Darth Vader and the Emperor would be mad at him for that decision since they were already trying to cover up the destruction of Jeddah City. You'd think it would be easier just to knock out the tower with a few star ships or AT-ATs or tell the Storm Troopers on the ground to bomb the data vault. Not to mention all the Imperial men and women that died along with all the equipment lost. One would think the Emperor would have a harder time explaining to other systems of the Senate why that an entire base had to be killed off. My first thoughts were that maybe Tarkin wanted to force the Emperor's hand into entirely writing off the Senate all together instead of having to explain away 2 Death Star uses.
@JS-jg7iv7 жыл бұрын
Mr. E they wanted to stop the rebels before they transmitted the data, but of course they failed. It is also explained in Catalyst that Krennic and Tarkin are rivals, and when tarkin ordered the fire, he ensured that he would take control of the battle station
@mr.e82267 жыл бұрын
got ya. thanks. but it still seemed like overkill since any of the star destroyers or even an AT-AT on the ground or a few stormies in the building could have taken out the transmission antenna. I just thought it played against the strategic mind that I thought Tarkin would have. Like after we used the H Bomb on a city, would we use another one on one of our military bases that was being hacked into... It just really bothered me, I guess. A few scenes ago Vader was telling Krenic that they had to cover up the destruction of Jedah city for the Senate and then they destroy a whole base just to take out a part of one building. All the poor storm troopers that got wiped out... One point that I liked about the "Lost Stars" novel is that a reason that a bunch of Imperials started to defect was because they started to notice how Vader, Tarkin and the Emperor didn't seem to care about their lives. So maybe that was a display of that.
@JS-jg7iv7 жыл бұрын
Mr. E I see what you mean, but for starters i doubt the senate even knows about the base. The empire was always secretly hiding bases and events from the senate and public all the time, so i doubt they knew about scariff. The only reason the senate complained about jedah was that a large civilian casualty occured. And plus The Imperial philosophy doesn't value the lives of their soilders as much as the republic did. The empire would easily allow hundreds of their soilders to die because they had an infinite supply of man power from the galaxy

Is there any explanation as to why Tarkin just flat out chose to destroy the citadel without even attempting to evacuate the command staff,garrison and even the rest of the data vault? I understand that destroying it was advantages given that its location was compromised but to waste years of work and some valuable imperial officers and staff just for a bit of political power play seems a bit much out of character for Tarkin....imo
