Rogue 1 is cool because it is like the one reasonable prequel to Star Wars. The plot is just the opening crawl to A New Hope

Making non-numbered Star Wars movies is so loving stupid. I'm not going to a theater to watch a Star Wars webisode.

Yeah, stuff like "The Clone Wars" and "The Old Republic" should have been kept offhand backstory that you fill in with your mind (with something way cooler than Lucas came up with). I mean you know how in Predator they're like "yeah it's just like back in Laos" or whatever that's just for flavor, to imply a larger setting with a history. No one wants to see a Predator-less prequel where they shoot people in Southeast asia.

i dunno why someone would be mad about a movie having a female protagonist. it just means you get to stare at a pretty lady while all the star wars happens. nerds must be gay.

If anything I like female protagonists better because when they want to be tough they can be tough and when they want to be girly they can be girly. Male protagonists are only allowed to be tough and that's it.

It's a joke about the line Mon Mothma said about "Many bothans died to bring us this information"

except that line was about the Death Star 2, not the OG one

I can't tell if this was meant as a joke, but yeah, the reason why main protagonists of slasher and horror films are more often female (the final girl), is due to audiences feeling disenfranchised whenever a male hero shows emotional duress or vulnerability. Not so much for a girl protagonist, who can believably cry in one scene and wield an axe in the next

See I was the opposite. TFA had left me feeling kind of Star Wars fatigued, but now I'm feeling optimistic.

You might say this trailer has given me a new hope :smug:

Came here to say this.

This trailer doesn't look that good to me. It has a made-for-TV vibe or something that's hard to put my finger on? Like this should be on netflix or should be animated and on Disney XD, and not a feature film. This isn't something I'm interested in seeing at the theater, at least not based on this ad.

It could just be the Battlefield earth stench.
