EagleEyedAlbert ...too far north of the water. 03 Jan 17 12.03am
A lot of people busted a hard gut on that movie (myself included) so it's good to hear that it's gone down well. On the whole, I personally don't think it was better than Force Awakens, but visually/tonally it obviously feels more like New Hope which was the aim.

I saw the first Star Wars movie when it came out and I thought it was average. I was about 13. I watched a couple over of the film over Christmas and it confirmed what I already knew. Star Wars is a lot of old cobblers. The first few are a glorified Muppet show with simplistic story lines that an 8 year old would find trite. The best one is Revenge of the Sith. It is somewhat less awful than the others. Looking forward to the new Star Trek TV series myself. Lets hope it's better that the largely appalling recent movies Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (03 Jan 2017 4.03pm)

I reckon you had to be a Star Wars fan to like it. I also thought some of the effects were worse than the 77 original. Every helmet looked plastic - as did many of the costumes and droids. Red and Blue Army!

Every helmet looked plastic - as did many of the costumes and droids. That's what I liked about it, it was entirely a film aimed at Star Wars fans. None of this catering to a new audience, or trying to drag people in. If you don't like Star Wars I'd imagine this film is like trying to understand a novel by starting on chapter 22. I thought that storm trooper armour was constructed of a kind of 'plastic ablative substance' so as to protect against energy weapons. Having recently sat through the original movies. The armour does look like its plastic, just thicker plastic, but the droids do look very metallic, which made me feel great sympathy for Kenny Baker in the Tatooine scenes. That could not have been pleasant. Edited by jamiemartin721 (05 Jan 2017 4.41pm) "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Just on my way home from seeing it and it's absolutely superb. Felicity Jones is a solid heroine, K-2SO provides the wit, and Donnie Yen's blind warrior steals the show. Gareth Edwards shows FA fanboys how you make a proper Star Wars film. Definitely seeing it again. "Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

R1 does flesh out the "Bothans" line though, showing the carnage required to steal the plans for the 1st Death Star. It was more akin to Saving Private Ryan than any Star Wars movie. (For the record...loved it!) We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Originally posted by Jamesrichards8 personally it sickens me that a greedy company could exploit the public so easily with no backlash. do we really need a total of 12-15 star wars films? Did we need The Hobbit to be three (long) films, or the last chapters of Harry Potter and Hunger Games to be broken into two parts, or there to be more than zero Twilight films? Everyone is trying to repeat the success that Marvel has had with its"cinematic universe". DC Comics similarly tried but has failed (spectacularly) thus far. Disney is giving it a go and the jury's still out; I suspect the verdict will depend on Ep VIII more than the filler movies. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Originally posted by jamiemartin721 Nice touches on the special affects as well to include pilots from the death star assault. This was my most favorite "easter egg". But, of course, it makes sense that they would be there because the battle in R1 takes place within the same time frame - maybe even the same week - as the battle in ANH. This was reinforced by Red 5's slot becoming available, with the general carnage also helping to explain why a kid from nowhere was allowed to drop right into an X-Wing when the Death Star came calling. I wish they'd been able to put Biggs and Wedge into R1. They would've been in that battle too, and Wedge was the only other X-Wing pilot to make it to the end of ROJ. Maybe Wedge was another rookie like Luke, but Biggs had been with the rebels for a bit. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Depends if they're any good. Is it really exploiting the public to make a decent film, that explores events in your other movies and expands on them and the setting. I'd be more concerned if it was 'just remaking the same film' each time. Just finished season 5 of the Clone Wars animated series and I must say that from Season 2 onwards its immense, and an ideal replacement for the poor prequel movies and for what is essentially 'a kids series' it visits a lot of dark and moral quandaries with a gravitas lacking from Ep 1-3 "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

The actor who played Wedge Antillies turned down the role reprise for the Force Awakens, as he wasn't interested However the voice of Wedge Antillies can be heard in Rogue 1 apparently (a different actor, as more than one actor played Wedge in the original trilogy).
