I think it's safe to say at this point that Tony Gilroy's reshoots significantly restructured the ending of the film. That they focused on the third act was one of the myriad of rumors swirling around about them. But just looking at the sheer amount of shots from the trailers that were never...

I did this today (not to check on the color of the star destroyers though) and I have to admit, the beginning of it doesn't feel like the beginning of the movie anymore. It felt like you're picking it back up after pausing to go grab a beer or something. It was strange.

They didn't change them in the special edition ANH. I don't know if they did in any of the later editions/releases but they're still reddish in that one.

I was one who said, way back when it was still just rumored, that I didn't have a problem with them cutting the crawl text in the anthology movies in spite of it probably being a bit jarring since it would give the directors more freedom in how those movies would open. Having seen this first...

I knew it was CGI as soon as I saw it but was surprised by how close to the genuine article it looked. There were moments here and there, especially as he was talking, that it was noticeable that is was a rendered character but it's impressive that they got as close as they did really.

I liked his character and didn't really see his performance as stiff (though I have only seen his past work in English so I can't compare it to anything on that front). His character is someone who was developing some emotional baggage over his role in the Rebellion, doing things he rather...

I've actually seen a few people say they thought it was the live actor when he first appeared and didn't realize until later that it was a CGI creation. I guess when we know for a fact that there are a lot of people out there thinking the movie was the sequel to TFA in spite of all of the...

So you need jedi and lightsaber filled action pieces to find a character compelling? If that's your Star Wars jam that's okay but it seems like a rather severe limitation to cling to imo.

I wouldn't count on that. The saga films will likely continue to be broader, more family oriented fare. As for the anthology movies I don't think even Disney/Lucasfilm fully knows exactly what they want those to be right now. R1 and the Solo movie will be part of the feeling out process for...

Neither of them showed up in Catalyst which doesn't go into the time frame of the movie at all. The one that was pictured earlier and seemed to be someone of rank in the movie was Edrio Two Tubes. He was actually created for TFA to appear on Jakku but they ended up not using him at all, which...

This one has a throwback title now. Godzilla: King of Monsters

It's been shown in a lot of the trailers and spots so far but that's the first time they've shown it taking a hit. It's the planetary shield surrounding Scarif. Apparently the Imperials have enough of a budget to protect more than just an area of a planet.

I'm going tomorrow morning hoping for the same.

He writes for The New Yorker. I'm pretty sure that's a requirement for employment there.

Every spot I've seen that shows the Y-wings only shows a group of 3 which makes me wonder if that is supposed to be the same 3 that were recovered from Reklam Station and delivered to General Dodonna earlier this season on Rebels.

Negative reviews like this one are actually encouraging: “Rogue One” Reviewed: Is It Time to Abandon the “Star Wars” Franchise? "There’s none of the Shakespearean space politics, enticingly florid dialogue, or experiential thrills of the best of George Lucas’s “Star Wars” entries (“Attack of...

The Darksaber. Yeah it's from The Clone Wars. It's was a Mandalorian light saber that was an heirloom of House Vizsla (the house that Sabine's clan belongs to) and was claimed to have been used to kill many jedi. Maul used it to kill Duchess Satine Kryze (Obi-Wan's old flame). That was her...

Spoiler free

The same for me but with a single reason running through both. I want to see Star Wars grow and expand, gradually and with consistency to it's original form, beyond it's current footprint. Remaking any of the existing movies can't really accomplish that in a way that's going to be tolerable...

Dark is probably relative to what a person has seen depicted on the screen before, though you would think the average movie hound to have seen some truly dark movies before now. I think most of those saying how dark it is are saying so relative to their expectations going into a Star Wars...

The pacing issues I mentioned from the initial reactions yesterday seem to revolve around the middle of the movie feeling overly slow by needlessly going over some of the same beats repeatedly. Beginning of the movie being compared to The Magnificent Seven and transitioning to a full blown war...

Seeing pretty consistently that this movie closes out like a beast. Just when you think you've seen the third act's defining moment, something else comes along and blows you away yet again.

Well we won't be getting any new episodes until Jan 7 when the 2-parter on Geonosis airs. After that will the episode "Warhead" and then we should get more of Sabine's story in "Trials of the Darksaber".

Genuinely spoiler free:

A barrage of 12 second TV spots came out today, most of them showing things we've already seen many times over. This one had a bit of new stuff in it though.

An interesting aside to this ... In George Lucas's original plan for the saga, the history of the Starkiller family (the precursor to the Skywalker name) was recorded in the Journal of the Whills (a name for the Force that shows up in Rogue One) from information relayed by R2-D2. This was...

Most reviews from the premier event are going to be overwhelmingly positive. Most of those invited either have some formal relationship with Disney/Lucasfilm or are media types who, out of the understandable desire to be invited to future premiers or have some access with the studio they want...

Holy shit what a TV spot!

Some initial reaction from the premier:

Long John Silver's has gotten considerably better than the last time I ate at one in the early 90's then. Don't get me wrong, I live on the coast so Red Lobster isn't the first name that comes to mind when I wanna go out for seafood but it was always better than LJS, which was shit tier on...

For the K-2SO luvvahs. I think he just might end up stealing this movie.

I don't think Sabine is Satine's daughter. I'm pretty sure that Filoni has said as much before. Since they're both Mandalorian and their names are so similar people have naturally speculated such and I believe he put that idea to bed a while ago. For Satine and Obi-Wan to have had a child it...

I didn't see anything that strongly implied a connection to Obi-wan either. There was the picture of Satine Kryze on the wall and that is who the theory is built around but I think it's reading too much into it to go from that to "Rey is a Kenobi". Not all on it's own at least. If you...

It doesn't matter as long as it remains simply part of the EU. They made it clear when they created the Legends designation for the EU material that they would bring individual nuggets of it back into canon. The xenophobia of the Imperial leadership has been on display in some of the new canon...

Gareth Edwards did a lot of his own camera work as a supplement to the main cameras during shooting. Mostly to create a lower perspective of view in certain scenes. I haven't heard anything about shaky cam though. I have read were some of those who viewed the 28 min. sneak peak last week said...

I posted this in the Star Wars book thread but since they go into some Rogue One speculation over the course of it I'll post it here as well. It's a spoiler review but not an overly detailed one though if you're just not a person of the book where your Star Wars is concerned it can serve as bit...

They're calling this a spoiler review and while they do talk about specifics they paint in largely broad strokes for the most part.
