My expectations on this one is super low compared to TFA so I hope it will be 100% better than TFA.

Because of TFA or just because it's not in the "main story"?

My expectations on this one is super low compared to TFA so I hope it will be 100% better than TFA.

My expectations are unusually high and I'm just gonna go full bullish and say it, this will be the best Star Wars movie since ESB. I'm saying this based on the trailers, this looks like a very well made movie.

I will go out on a limb and say this will be better than The Phantom Menace!

Because of TFA or just because it's not in the "main story"?

I have to say both. Because I expected too much from TFA only to get disappointed in the end since it felt like a retelling of 4, 5 & 6 with new characters in it. Whereas the Rogue One is basically a 'new story'. The only thing you know about them is that they're probably the group mentioned in Ep4 who stole the plan for the rebellion.

My expectations are unusually high and I'm just gonna go full bullish and say it, this will be the best Star Wars movie since ESB. I'm saying this based on the trailers, this looks like a very well made movie.

Let's hope it is.

Definitely!

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

That goes without saying!

I can't help but think that they should have made this movie first. It looks like it'll give us all the nostalgia feels that they felt they had to include in TFA. Maybe that would have allowed them more room to focus on newer things.

Looks like my wife and I will be watching it this Thursday or Friday now.

Man, this movie was AWESOME!!

Went to the midnight screening - man, it felt like a hard journey, very punchy action beats and attention to detail - urgh, *so* much eye candy!!!

I loved the ending too :3

[GMK]

Best. Star. Wars. Movie. Ever. Made.

So many Easter eggs. X-wings have never looked half as good as here. Best ending, too.

[seti88]

The whole movie feels like playtime with your Star Wars action figures when you were a kid!

So far my gripes were with some inconsistencies between the trailer and the show tho.

Overall a nice showing and going for a second watch!!

[sh9000]

Got our tickets just now for 7:30 tonight. Also got this cool advertisement for the digital comic.

[sh9000]

Cool movie. The beginning was a little slow though. K-2SO was great. Vader's scenes were awesome.

Tarkin and Leia looked too fake.

[Mog]

Just got back from the movie.

Much, MUCH better than Force Awakens.

Lots of little Easter eggs for fans of the original film. Subtle enough for those in the know, but nothing required or essential to enjoy the film.

Glad that all of them died at the end. Makes the Empire look somewhat competent.

And stupid Vader. . . . wasting all that time waving his lightsaber around and not using the bloody Force to grab the data disc.

So, does this mean that the Death Star Architect is no longer canon?! Seriously, why the hell is an EXHAUST port sucking IN the torpedo, instead of pushing it OUT?

Lastly, can we have a stand-alone film with K-2SO and Chopper finding HK-47 and having hilarity ensue?

Best. Star. Wars. Movie. Ever. Made.

So many Easter eggs. X-wings have never looked half as good as here. Best ending, too.

[cough] Empire is still the best [cough]

This one is definitely up there though, but it ain't unseating the king.

[Kelsain]

Skipping all entries, just excited to head out for a nice breakfast with the wife before we go to see R1 this morning!

W00t!

[jvmacross]

Heading off to see it in about 2 hours....

The Force seems strong with this one....

Hope it's not just hype like TFA....

[Mazinger]

Enjoyed it a lot. Has a different feel from the nostalgia monster that was Force Awakens.

Interestingly, I found half the easter eggs superfluous, though everyone in our audience cheered when they popped up. Plenty of X-wing action.

I wouldn't mind if the so-called "one offs" were a separate and more "serious" set of SW films like this was.

[Kelsain]

Wow. Just, wow...

[sh9000]

[Black Valkyrie]

Just saw it, very good.

AWESOME movie!!!! Way better than TFA! The only gripe I had was a crashed x_wing. Why when there was none flying around??? Other than that great film!!! Must see again!!!

[anime52k8]

Just saw it, very good film but I enjoyed TFA more.

Loved it! Got off work early and went right to the theatre! One of the best Star Wars movies.

Won't knock TFA. Loved it despite its flaws. Great movie!

[anime52k8]
