The Big Star Wars Thread *SPOILERS ABOUND*

[YEK]

I finally watched Rogue One. I think it was the best disney Star Wars but I haven't watched Mandelorian yet. I liked the story and visually it was really good.

[dr lopez]

Rogue one could have been amazing if they cut out the China pandering and recast everyone except Ben mendelson. Mads was also totally underutilized. Huge disappointment he now can’t play a better character in SW, stuck as the oh so memorable Galen erso forever. Lame

[Blir]

Agreed. If Rogue One had a good plot, interesting characters (or any character with any personality) and good pacing it could be a good film.

[Adamovich]

The main character (or actress) of Rogue One is the new definition of total blandness.

 

K-2SO however, is my favourite droid of all SW galaxy. 

[Squee]

Who can forget that Latin American guy with no personality who's now getting his own series. Amazing.

A new change to the Greedo scene has surfaced on Disney+. Now for some reason Greedo says "Maclunkey" before shooting, further ruining the scene.

"China pandering"? Please do tell...

Casting famous HK actor Donnie Yen and famous Chinese actor Jiang Wen in attempts to boost ticket sales in those markets. Do you really think those roles were crucial to the plot or anything in the film for that matter? Or that those particular actors were "perfect" for those roles? They were shoehorned in because of economic factors beyond the scope of the film.

That's interesting - But could the blind character (Chirruit) been played by anyone else but a martial artist (and yes, I know there are non-asian martial artists, but I guess my point is perhaps they chose Donnie because he fit the type of character they were creating and wanted to portray and not because they were boosting ticket sales in China.

Also, Beskar is the heaviest metal:

Why?

[species8472]

only watched the first part but it was insanely disappointing. i expect the rest to be the same. 

[psn]

My expectations are back to zero after Boba Fett.

Why?

The acting, the story, the cgi, the new characters, reusing old characters, the constant urge to include characters you know but “I bet you didn’t know how xxx was like as a kid, huh?”

I don’t really care but I was kinda hoping that it would be more of a quiet story about Obi Wan dealing with the loss of his friend and being one of the few Jedi left. But I should know better by now.

I have no big demands for a Disney SW series, 10yo Leia is cute and that.

Just please keep Robert Rodriguez away from Star Wars. That's all I'm asking.
