Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
Kinda underwhelming trailer honestly. Not nearly as good as the Episode VII trailer.
Still all in regardless.

100% certain I will like this more than TFA, which I liked a lot too. Been waiting for a sw that doesn't revolve around a skywalker for like 20 years

We'll see if they'll stick to it being a non-Skywalker story. I'm not 100% convinced just yet.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
Star Wars has no single origin source. Dune is a single adaptation of a specific book. Expecting that book to be adapted in a new way with a different focus is dumb.EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:also holding your breath for a dune movie that doesn't revolve around an atreides ?drizzle wrote:100% certain I will like this more than TFA, which I liked a lot too.

However the extended universe of Dune by now includes a shitload of prequels inspired by Herbert's worldbuidling details, some of which have only a tangential relation to Paul's storyline or none at all. I would absolutely love to see some of those adapted.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
haven't read any books besides the first one, but the second bbc series covers (i believe) the second book. it has some interesting ideas but you can already sense the magic deteriorating. at some point herbert's son starting writing and apparently those ones are terrible.
back to SW: they're definitely giving up some of what made the other movies special, but hopefully this provides some room to do something new. who am i kidding, this looks like a basic ass blockbuster and forrest whittaker looks retarded.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
Mildly interested. I'd rather a movie about Ahsoka Tano.
Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
Some of you are fucking crazy.
You've got old school stormtroopers, AT-ATs and Imperial Star Destroyers, Forest Whitaker on some mentor shit, Ben Mendelsohn in Grand Admiral Thrawn gear, and Donnie Yen being his usual bad ass self. They even got some ginger bird who looks spot on like Mon Mothma. On top of all that, a hooded up dude looking like he's about to make a holo call to Palpatine that doesn't look like Vader (which makes me suspect it could be a younger Snoke). All that wonderful shit and you're worried over the lack of lightsabers, or that you wanna see a movie about a boob tube wearing shitty padowan who didn't make fuck all sense being taught by Anakin Skywalker.

Donnie Yen is dope but where does a ninja fit in this story? GI Joe, sure, Star Wars tho?
Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
We had an entire SW trilogy where Jedi were busting moves like they were straight out of a Godfrey Ho flick. Donnie Yen could do that shit in a Dalai Lama biopic and he would still get a free pass from me.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
Yeah I don't consider those prequels apart of the franchise. As far as I'm concerned there has only been 4 SW movies. I really do love Yen, but it's weird seeing a predated movie with some samurai doing shit. Other than that, they're making this feel real authentic.

Meh I have ROTS > ROTJ
Force Awakens is right about on par with ROTJ
Can't say the same about Phantom Menace or Clones.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
read the first six. 1 is GOAT, 2 is good, 3-4-5 are weird good to varying degrees, and (spoiler).EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:haven't read any books besides the first one, but the second bbc series covers (i believe) the second book. it has some interesting ideas but you can already sense the magic deteriorating. at some point herbert's son starting writing and apparently those ones are terrible.

started reading those prequels but they are so so so very different in tone and while good i had just finished reading the original 6 and i kinda had to put them down. may try again at some point.
Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
the prequels were shit, but got less shitty with each movie.
episode 1 was a steaming pile of hot garbage meant to sell pod racing toys and videogames. terrible terrible movie.
just terrible.
if i had seen episode two at a theater i would have wanted my money back. at home on TV, whatever. as long as i have enough beer to make it through.
episode 3 was okay-ish. still wouldnt have been happy if i had spent $15 to see it at a theater, but it's fine i guess at home, but only once. have no urge to see this movie ever again.
force awakens was good, a few too many moments, and the plot ripoff was kinda lazy, but still a better movie by far than any of the prequels. will probably see this movie again in 5-10 years.
original trilogy i will watch any time. empire strikes back > new hope > return of the jedi.
best star wars product by far is Knights of the Old Republic. Fantastic game. I will sink another 30 hours into this game in a year or two probably (for the third or fourth time). And i'll probably be playing it until i die. thanks steam.
if they make a kotor movie i will full on geek out, we're talking hundreds of dollars in $ and time to make a costume, waiting in line for opening day theater tickets, the whole nine yards.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (D: Gareth Edwards)
ROTS obviously is an epic movie. I won't lie, I even liked Attack Of The Clones.EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:prequels>> force awakens
When that movie came out, right in between the 911 attacks and the Iraq war, some people thought that the story about Palpatine staging false-flag terrorist attacks in order to gain extra-judicial powers and become a dictator was an analogy to Bush's policies at that time.
But the funny thing is George Lucas already had the script of that movie ready in the year 2000. In fact, Lucas included that storyline about false-flag terrorist attacks in the original script of New Hope around 1975 but later scratched it.
He was probably inspired or influenced by some of the conspiracy theories floating around during the 1970s concerning terrorist attacks that hit Italy and were allegedly tied to Operation Gladio, several high Italian government officials, the Vatican, Freemasons and the Maffia. Coppola also alludes to these conspiracy theories in the Godfsther 3 and as we know Coppola was Lucas' mentor back then (right before he made the first Star Wars movie).

obi wan & qui gon jinn 2v1 vs darth maul is my fav fight in the series. great choreography, acrobatics, drama. haven't watched the actual movie since 1999 but i youtube that scene often.
what would be sadder -- and possibly true -- is if ep1 wasn't a cash-in, but an accurate manifestation of lukas' greatest artistic aspirations.........episode 1 was a steaming pile of hot garbage meant to sell pod racing toys and videogames. terrible terrible movie.

might peep dune 2, honestly i'm pretty happy with how the first book ended. there is no way i'm ever going to read so much as a foreword by dude's disappointment of a son tho.... in the mean time my roomie lent me some books by ursula K le guin, "the word for world is forest" was pretty sick.

yeah, i have never really watched movies for fight scenes. not that i dislike them, that is just never a pull for me, and movies that rely almost totally on them are not usually my thing.
that goes double for Epic Battle Scenes. maybe triple. maybe more.
