Saw it earlier today and absolutely loved it. For anyone, like me, who felt disappointed with the force awakens, this makes up for it. Shows that prick JJ Abrams how to make a Star Wars movie.

Whilst in my head Kyle Katarn will always be the character that secured the Death Star plans, Rogue One was excellent & probably ranks as my 2nd favourite movie in the SW franchise behind a New Hope. It absolutely wipes the floor with the waste of time that was Force Awakens. Really looking forward to the Han Solo backstory now. The mountains are calling & I must go.

I saw it last night and enjoyed it ... cgi for Cushing was pretty good ... leia less so! One thing sticks out for me ... in ANH ... Mon Motha says "many bothans died to get these plans" ... no bothans (whatever they are) in this movie Edited by Blue'n'red (22 Dec 2016 3.26pm) They say hard work never hurt anyone ... but why take a chance?

Made me think the franchise had gone the way of the LoTR/Hobbit one with the Battle of the Five Armies, which tried to spin the last chapter of the book out to a two-and-a-half hour film with padding, waffle and diversions.

children's programmes with brilliant artwork. Nothing much else to see here. Give Darth Vader the sex life of, say, Gengis Khan and i will sit up, drop my biscuit and pay attention. Get the different members of the Rebel Alliance all squabbling amongst each other and we have a plot. these movies glamourise war and are probably funded by Hilary Clinton and her investors.

Largely agree with the Force awakens thing but still feel they overused ANH plot points. Also feel that in all the sag films, the death of planets and nameless rebels has no impact on the viewer. It's Rogue one that really captured the panic of an insurgency and the tragedy of death, it felt like a war movie which is the first time in star 'wars' that I have felt that.

Rogue One? Who came first? Michael Gove or Boris Johnson? (This was reputedly the Cameron family household XMAS cracker gag that was subsequently passed on to George Osborne... to complement recycling of Tory policies....)

Absolutely loved Rogue one - So much so it inspired a day of Star Wars movies - and its going to be controversial, but its probably the best or the bunch - although only because it has the benefit of being made, written and directed nearly 40 years on. Whilst the originals held up well - They do lack the tightness and construction of Rogue One, and its originality - as well as benefitting from a script that can actually be read - and of course being free of George Lucas' 'additional useless material'. I really like the idea of having 'star wars' stories that feed in or around the official numbered movies and 'fill in the blanks'. I'd be happy for them to go back and make the prequels. Nice touches on the special affects as well to include pilots from the death star assault. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Have now, and am going back soon to see it again. And I hate going to the cinema! The whole 'death star / star killer' thing needs to go. I'll give FA a pass on the basis of being part reboot. Empire thrives by having a different plot (and in RoJ the second death star is surely the most ill conceived trap in the history of elaborate traps).

Great film. Been waiting 30 years for a proper Star Wars film and this was it. No rubbish or cheesy characters just ones that aided the storyline. Hopefully they will do others in a similar vein and they can get the story films back to being Star Wars again. The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years

I got to watch it on Laser IMAX on an 80x60 screen, 8k definition, 52,000 watts of 12 channel sound through 114 speakers. I was concerned the technology would outshine the movie, but it didnt, it just enhanced it beyond anything i could have ever imagined. Best damn action movie in many years, top notch.
