It's more that it lacked originality, good pacing, and a sensible backstory. Still a good film--it's just not the triumphant return, as heralded. I don't like J.J. Abrams' style in the context of Star Wars. Ah. I'd say the same about Rogue One. It was the first time I ever turned a Star Wars movie off. Just couldn't get into it. Link to comment

Just couldn't get into it. I loved it for being a military story that had the balls to turn down the Jedi mysticism for a bit so we could get an actual sense of how the rebels really fucking struggled to get those plans and, by extension, get their rebellion moving. Hamletting the entire cast was basically the perfect ending to such a story, and the little tidbits of fanservice they included throughout had charm without undermining the uniqueness of said story. The Knights of the Old Republic fan in me was particularly excited by the Hammerhead corvettes. Also, Darth Vader was legitimately fucking scary. One of the best Star Wars films I've seen, I'd reckon. Sir Grim Locksmith VIII 1 Link to comment

I could see what you meant about the rebels struggling, but I honestly got bored. Link to comment

Reilly Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Speaking of Rogue One, was anyone else taken out of the action a bit whenever CGI Tarkin appeared on screen? I mean, it wasn't that bad, but I felt his face was just too obviously CGI compared to everyone around him. Link to comment
The_Fool Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Speaking of getting taken out of Rogue One: how about the guy who is definitelynotaJedi repeatedly doing things that even actual Jedi can't do? Infuriating. Link to comment
Penance Fracture Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I dunno; I thought CGI Tarkin was fine. I also really liked Chirrut; he wasn't a Jedi, but basically a blind monk. What did he do that was so impossible? Link to comment
