Do we see Leia or Tarkin's faces or just like, the back of their heads or from the neck down? Are they CGI? Stock footage? Is Leia played by Carrie Fisher's daughter? Is Tarkin played by the guy in prosthetics from the end of episode 3?

bad CGI Tarkin, hilariously destroys every scene he's in. And he's in a couple of them.

Not sure about Leia, could be CGI, could be uggo

The prequels had the worst dialog and character development I've seen from any sci fi movie since the LL Cool J Rollerball movie

But both dialogue and development was baf in the new one too. At least the prequels looked good and had like imagination and poo poo

The part I liked most about the prequels was them not resorting to just making another Death Star (or other superweapon) be the big threat.

Even George wasn't that loving lazy and uncreative.

Bothans (pronounced /'bɑθɪn/) were furry mammalian anthropoids, about 1.5 meters tall. Hailing from Bothawui and several colonies, Bothans differed in facial appearance and body structure with canine, feline, and equine features.

The prequels where better than force awkens which was derivative trash. The prequels at least made an effort

I think that, if you watch the Force Awakens, you will get to experience the wonder and amazement u desire from an epic space fantasy movie. For example, there was dirt and spaceship hallways and a forest, also they had every type of colored person you could imagine!

Everything tells me this movie is aggressively mediocre and only exists because people will see it because it has 'Star Wars' written on it.

Someone saying it's Trump's worst nightmare is pretty much the most pathetic thing I've heard this week, no matter if the movie has merits or not.

Faint praise.

The new Star Wars movies and the direction everything seems to be taking has made me appreciate the original movies more though and realize that nothing more really was needed. Even the prequels are more interesting. Terrible trainwrecks written and directed by an ever lazier cook are more interesting for some reason than superficially competent movies relying on nostalgia and fanboyism for their existence.

Just got back from watching this, the action scenes and space battles were nice and pretty, but by god this film had several flaws!

I get that in the prequels they have completely different starships for the Republic and Trade Federation because they take place years before eps IV to VI, but if they're going to introduce U-wings, AT-ACTs, Tie Strikers, and a CR90 Corvette with a loving battering ram on its front, the same time EP IV takes place, then how come they're never brought up again during the Battle of Yavin, Hoth, and Endor? Did the Empire just store all their AT-ACTs and Tie Strikers in Scarif and never produced them anywhere else in the galaxy? Does the Rebel Alliance only have 2 U-wings? How come AT-ACTs go down easier than AT-ATs, do they not have as much armour as normal AT-ATs? And how come snowspeeder blasters can't penetrate their armour, yet X-wings and U-wings can do it with no problem? If the Death Star's superlaser takes a couple of hours (maybe) to destroy a planet, how the gently caress did they upgrade it fast enough just before the Battle of Yavin to blow it up within a couple of seconds?

I bet some "genius" canon writers for Lucasfilm will come up with some last-minute explanations for all this bullshit!

They really hammered in those "easter eggs".

I don't know if I should be surprised they mentioned the blue milk in the prologue. I got a lot of uncanny valley vibes from Not Tarkin, if they hired other actors and actresses to play as Mon Mothma and Princess Leia, why couldn't they just do the same for Tarkin and Red Leader? At least they were making it close to the real Cushing and all that attention to detail. If Evazan and Baba were somehow on Jedha, then how did they leave in time before the Death Star blew up the planet? I'll admit it was neat seeing Jimmy Smits reprise as Bail Organa, especially now that he's a bit older and greyer so it ties in with the timeline.

Then there's James Earl Jones coming back as Darth Vader, the cameo was nice and all...until the force choke bit and he follows it up with "don't choke on your aspirations", who loving wrote that dialogue, I know most of these references are really subtle winks and nods to all the hardcore fans out there, but that line was corny as gently caress.

Overall, I was very disappointed with this spin-off, not because of all the stuff I mentioned above, but because I NEVER SAW A GODDAMN BOTHAN! You LIED to me, Disney!

I remember hearing they had to reshoot the whole movie because it ended with Darth Vader stalking and murdering all the characters like he was Jason Vorhees and that was too dark

Uhhhhhh dude, I'd love for them to make an entire movie of just Darth Vader slaughtering people. Make a Star Wars Horror movie with Darth Vader instead of Michael Myers. That would be amazing. Just make a whole movie of Vader being a stone cold evil badass so we can make up for them making him into a pussy in the prequels.
