Rogue One trailer released

[Paladin]

Salty, no one knows yet. At least until opening night for everyone on Thursday. The red carpet premier had glowing reviews by all the Hollywood celebs.

 

[shortylickens]

Yall seem to be ignoring the movies. anyone recall what vader did at the end of 3?

Apperantly one of the latest books cites the remnants of the separation forces as the foundation for forming the resistance.

He murdered children?

Oh wait, sorry, it was PG-13.


He "killed younglings".

I'm looking forward to this (even though I managed to avoid watching a single trailer). We will likely go on Saturday or Sunday matinee.

To be honest I assume the Star Wars brand is going to become over saturated and annoying eventually but we're not there yet so might as well have fun with it while we still can.

I think the worst oversaturation and annoyingness came with Phantom Menace. But that's partially because the movie was aimed at 8 year-olds.

I happy if we get lots of dark yet exciting and potentially thought-provoking spin-offs. Mind you, The Force Awakens wasn't one of them. That one was just a remake of Episodes 4 and 6.

Not sure when to go to this movie. It's hard with the two little kids around as they are too young to watch with us and too young to stay at home by themselves, and getting trustworthy babysitters has been a real bitch to organize.

If we wait for the in-laws to come, that will be Xmas time, and I don't want to wait that long. I may end up going by myself at like 10 pm one night after the kids have gone to bed, with mom at home, and then will go again with mom when the in-laws come. If the wife will let me see it without her that is.

EDIT:

Holy shit. The tickets are $20.50 CAD for IMAX. I guess the good news is it is a real IMAX with dual laser DLPs. And they're selling $43.09 "supertickets" which include the ticket plus a digital copy pre-order.

Review embargo over tomorrow.

Review embargo over tomorrow.

Going to try to lay off the reviews as much as I can.

Definitely avoid reading the reviews. I made the mistake of reading them and related articles before I saw The Force Awakens, and a few of them gave away major plot points with no warning whatsoever. Assholes.

Same. I've also stopped watching new trailers too. I'm going to go see it so I don't need to be convinced and I don't want any more scenes revealed

I blame Ted Cruz.

OMG -- I realize this is dense of me, but I just realized the whole push for "Hope" in the trailers and stuff ties in directly to "A New Hope"
deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

Review embargo over tomorrow.

I went looking for aggregate scores from the reviews, and found none. Turns out the embargo lifts at 5 pm EST.

EDIT:

It looks like the embargo may have been lifted at noon.

84% at Rotten Tomatoes right now, with 48 positive out of 57 reviews, and an average score 7.6.

Metacritic has it 7.2 after 24 reviews.

So, a solid B.

LOL. Guess the part where it was discussed that in effect they want this movie to feel like it ends just before the other starts didn't clue ya in

Please don't post early reviews here -- I think lots are trying to avoid.

No shit? But you see where Slayer202 added text with his link?

 

[Imp]

Haven't read any reviews but word is that it's good. I'm somewhat surprised considering the rumors about the reshoots and problems -- see Fantastic Four reboot.

Was just browsing this, http://www.starwars.com/films/rogue-one?cmp=emc|sws|natural|lucasfilm|2016-12-16|rogue-one and noticed that they weren't "regular" AT-AT in the trailer. Says they are a larger version called AT-ACT with increased cargo capacity.

Yes, that was revealed a while ago. It explains some shots that you can see through them, their doors are open.
This is a great website to follow Star Wars stuff on:
