I thought they could have squeezed another movie or two out of the storyline. 

be happy they didn't. 
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I saw this in the cinema a couple of nights back , and I definately come down on the side of being a huge fan of this movie . I think it's now my favourite  :smitten:

I was gutted that the good guys bought it in the end , but I get why that had to happen . So all in all I'm well impressed :)

OK. My take. Very good movie but not great. The movie moves very fast and covers a lot of ground quickly so you don't get enough time to really care about the characters the way you would in a Marvel film or even "The Force Awakens". So there's no real since of loss when anyone gets wacked. But there's lots of action, great scenes with lots of familiar old faces, and the end manages to hit you with some unexpected turns and lifts the movie to a very good ending. I'd put it in the top 3 but not the best of the bunch. But a damned fine first attempt at a new look at an old story and well worth seeing. I'd go a solid 7.5 out of 10.  \m/

Exactly how I felt about it.

Saw it today with my wife. I agree with both of the gents above. Good movie, but not great. I did get to see my first IMAX 3D movie and have to say that experience was AWESOME!!!  O0

Just saw it last night with my daughter and a couple of her friends.  I thought the buildup up was kind of slow until they got to the climactic battle.  I liked it, but not enough to rave about it.  I'd put it third behind New Hope and Empire.

Yeah, anyone paying attention to the movies knew that was BS. Did ILM hire anyone that actually knew something about Star Wars to work on Rogue One?

Time to give the franchise back to George Lucas!
