First Reactions After the Rogue One World Premiere!
The world premiere of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is now history, and it’s time for some spoiler free reactions shared on the World Wide Web! I’ve read probably a hundred comments already and I am yet to find a negative rant about the movie. Exciting times indeed…
To sum things up, it seems everyone loved the movie, especially the 3rd act. Donnie Yen and Alan Tudyk steal the show. Also many of the shots from the trailers are not in the movie, but the general vibe is the same. There are at least three surprising moments in the movie that no one expected, so you should be careful when reading reviews, not to be spoiled.
Here are some of the more interesting reactions:
So… #RogueOne? It’s freaking great! So many crowd-pleasing moments! It’s emotional, exciting and incredibly satisfying. Loved it!
— Eric Goldman (@TheEricGoldman) December 11, 2016
I have done a Star Wars. A+, would do again. And again and… #RogueOne
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) December 11, 2016
More seriously, #RogueOne was well executed and Star Wars down to its bones. I loved it.
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) December 11, 2016
#RogueOne has so much heart. It’s hopeful, in your face, and pulls no punches.

ROGUE ONE: The plotting and objectives are needlessly murky, but the look of this thing is *ravishing*. Drop the “why” and embrace the “wow”

ROGUE ONE mvps: Donnie Yen, Ben Mendelsohn, and Alan Tudyk’s shade-serving robot
— Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) December 11, 2016
ROGUE ONE’s real secret weapon is d.p. Greig Fraser, whose underlit, dreamy frames rep a brave stylistic break from today’s blockbuster look
— Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) December 11, 2016
ROGUE ONE had me from the opening to the very end. Incredible action mixed with a script fans are going to love. Going to make people happy.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016
The 3rd act is really amazing. Some of the best action in any Star Wars movie. Need to see it again asap.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016
Also do not read any reviews. So many of the twists and turns have not been revealed in marketing. My jaw hit ground a few times.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016
With all the talk of reshoots and production problems the final cut of Rogue One is worth the wait. Man that 3rd act….so so good.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016
One of the best things about Rogue One are the new characters. They’re so well done and expand the universe. You care about all of them.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 11, 2016
People worried about #RogueOne not being a gritty war film need not worry. It’s intense, relentless. You can practically taste the grit.
— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016
I had high hopes. It exceeded them.
— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016
As with The Force Awakens, a fair number of shots from the #RogueOne trailers aren’t in the movie. But the trailers did capture the tone.
— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016
Chirrut Imwe and K-2SO steal the movie. Amazing work by Donnie Yen and Alan Tudyk.
— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016
I expected it to be funny. I didn’t expect to be choked up. Moments of true bravery, and some speeches we need right now. #RogueOne
— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016
Last thought (for now): Vader gets a moment of pure horror. Maybe more than one, arguably. #RogueOne
— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) December 11, 2016
HOLY FUCK! ROGUE ONE IS SPECTACULAR. IF YOU DON’T SEE THIS MOVIE MORE THAN ONCE YOU SUCK AT LIFE!!!! @starwars !!!! WOW. WOW!!!
— Kyle Newman (@kyle_newman) December 11, 2016
Star Wars fans will be very happy with #RogueOne. It’s fun, action packed, doesn’t feel neutered by reshoots. Donnie Yen and K2so standouts.
— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) December 11, 2016
Theres an amazing amount of footage/dialogue in the #RogueOne trailers and marketing that are not in the film, including Troopers in water.
— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) December 11, 2016
Holy crap did I love Rogue One. It’s gonna take days to wipe the smile off my face. So many surprises and so much fun. Get excited.
— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) December 11, 2016
Tonight was amazing. And I can’t wait for everyone to see #RogueOne to talk about all the ins and out and spoilers. Because there are lots.
— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) December 11, 2016
So @JayneLyons and I just watched all the trailers and teasers for #RogueOne . Without exaggeration, 50% of it or more isn’t in the movie.
— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) December 11, 2016
That’s not a bad thing cause the movie works very well but, don’t wait for what you see. Let’ts talk Thursday. #RogueOne

May the force be with you.

Always.

I saw Rogue One on IMDB, and 12% of people gave it 1/10. Who those people are?? Of course, those same people who are boycotting STAR WARS movies, because ”Disney wants only money” Because not everyone is white in the movie, seriously, I can’t believe that’s reality we live in today, that those kind of people still exist, people who will search for excuses for not watching the movie, I was even reading comments,and this is what they are talking about:
1. Nobody is even talking about the movie.
2. Racists already hate it because it has all races in the movies, as it should. Racists will see it as propaganda, but normal people will see it as diversity, as it should be. Why the fuck only white males think they are more important than black or Asian people, also more important than females.
3. People complained about prequels it is too much CGI, and now when they do 97% practical effects, they just ignore it and make up other reasons to hate the movie
4. There are type of people who are thinking only about money and they are like: Disney wants only the money, and they don’t have my 5$.
Well, screw You, they are making already billions without Your fucking 5$ and they deserve all the money on this world, cause if they make good movie, they have my money.
Stop fucking whining and enjoy life and STAR WARS. Judge it as a movie after You see it, not just give it 1/10 on IMDB for Your stupid reasons
Some IMDB boards are weird places with weird people. Just avoid them.
There was a guy on YouTube yesterday that was 100% convinced that this film was anti-Trump propaganda. LOL
Actually, I’d watch it 20 times in theatres alone if the filmmakers came out and said it was anti- Trump.
Lol,me too, this way, I am watching it only 5 times 😉
News flash: R1 isn’t about Trump or Clinton. Lucas created a mythology that people of all political and religious views can enjoy.
There was a guy who was convinced not only THAT, but that the only reason for the resorts was to add anti-Trump rhetoric. Smh.
i doubt it as well, but the writers are definitely political hacks.
Because they have an opinion in opposition of the person who was elected President of the United States? Because they used what notoriety and celebrity they had to voice an opinion?
Why don’t they get to speak against a man they didn’t want to see elected? It’s their right to.
So you may as well count all of Hollywood as one giant political hack. The people who make your movies and television shows are routinely more liberal than conservative.
no, its because they dragged star wars into it. that is out of bounds…. and i thought you were logging off for the week? 😉
Star Wars was always filled with real life politics.
Ep III was basically Lucas’s criticism of the Bush administration.
Besides, we can safely assume that at least 90% of Hollywood shares the same political idea of Chris Weltz. Some are just louder about it.
having one stupid line in sith isn’t the same as trying to use the brand in a real life political movement. nor is ok(or smart) to alienate half your domestic fanbase. but anyway, this like everything else will blow over.
How it is not the same?
Besides, it its not alienating anyone, just an overly sensitive and very lound group of alt-right internet people, who also boycotted ep VII, which apparently resulted in an estimated 4m $ of revenue loss (so it grossed 936m, instead of 940m). The result of these “boycotts” will be similar this time aswell.
Alt-right? Where did that come from? I’m more concerned with the idiocy of the Left. They really are morons.
What do you mean? The alt-right “movement” originated from internet forums, such as 4chan and other crapholes.
What they do is usually bragging about female leads and/or minorities in movies all day. Just visit the IMDB message boards for experience.
Have you viewed the lunacy of left-wing forums? I don’t know who coined the terms ‘alt’ but you either lean left or lean right. This alt business is nonsense.
“Alt” means unorthodox as far as I interpret it. So they arent conservatives or far -rights.
Besides, sjws and alt-rights are equally terrible imo.
You haven’t been following the news the last 6 months have you? The Alt Right labeled themselves.
It came from the fact that they are actively boycotting Rogue One. Or attempting to. They also actively attempted to boycott Episode VII.
Yes, the Idiocy of the Left is extreme. They should be be more responsible like the Alt-Right, and pursue boycotts of breakfast cereal and science fiction movies.
i’m not speaking for any other group of people, merely my own perspective. which is the exact opposite of the writers.
What the writers did was just speaking up against hate. They didnt openly insult Trump (like DeNiro) or anything like that.
Where does this estimate come from?
Well, its just a very bold estimation. Could be false on every level. Google “TFA boycotts 4 million dollars” if you are interested.
yeah, it’s based on an online poll. People could have seen it and still voted they didnt.
Star Wars is never and will never ever be out of bounds of anything. If it was then it wouldn’t be worth watching.
Yeah, I was arguing with him. Don’t waste your time lol
Typical Trump geniuses. Does he think the film was written and shot in the past month?
Keep politics out of here, please? Please.
Change your avatar if you want to keep politics out of here.
Just don’t look directly at him.
If a bunch of whiny White Supremacists have a problem with evil being opposed, confronted and thwarted then that’s their issue. It’s certainly not ours.
Nope. It’s a bunch of whiny leftists who would complain about it. SW is about good vs evil. It contains some politics, but it’s in the background. I’m much older than you. I remember the Soviets complaining about ROTJ because they thought Lucas modeled the Empire after their regime. I always viewed the rebel alliance as a group of conservatives, classic liberals and others fighting back against the tyranny of an Empire that had elements of Stalin and Hitler.
And Lucas created the Emperor based on Nixon.
Yes, I know that. However, the Soviets thought differently.
That’s the thing: people can put anything they want into the movie.
Well in this case, the base of the Republican party feels different.
Show me the proof? I’m the ‘base’ of the party and
I always viewed the Empire as a combo between Stalinist Russia and Hitler’s Germany. Lucas based it on the Roman Empire. The so-called ‘alt-right’ is not the base of anything.
No, you’re not the base. Not if your a traditional conservative.
The base of any party are the people farthest in the direction of their political leanings.
Please google Rogue One boycott and pay attention to who it is mounting this lack luster offensive.
How many times do I have to tell you I don’t care about the folks you seem to fixate on. Did they make a difference in TFA’s BO? No, they didn’t. They won’t make a difference in R1’s BO either. I disagree with your defintion of what ‘base’ means. But you go ahead and believe what you want.
Oh my God.
Do you not get it? You commented in a thread about a factual news story. You decried then attacked people who WEREN’T even involved in said news story. It doesn’t matter if you care about them or not. They were the point of the topic.
The alt-right folks mounting the boycott effort are not the base of the repub party. They’re a very noisy group that seeks attention. The base or core of the repub party for decades have been traditional conservatives. I assure you that they will be out in droves to watch ROGUE ONE. in fact, I’m going to buy my tickets tonight for a Thursday showing. See you at the theater.
The base of any structure is at its bottom.
You build from the base, up.
The bottom of any political party has those who are furthest from being centrist.
It’s not a difficult concept. It also doesn’t make you any less valuable or important to the political party you affiliate with.
Never said their boycott would be effective, either. Just that it exists.
The Left isn’t complaining about Rogue One. The Alt Right is. Why don’t you do a quick google search before you continue to embarass yourself.
LOL….pot meet kettle. As I’ve stated in other posts, I don’t know any ‘alt-right’ people. However, I’ve read about and observed many SJWs who continue to whine and bitch about the election results. That’s far more nauseating than a handful of people wanting to boycott a SW film. I didn’t vote for Trump. I didn’t vote for Clinton. I didn’t vote for any of them. I only voted the down ticket. But, the election is over. Whiny Leftists should get over it.
Plus, I’m a traditional conservative. Practically all my family members, extended family members, and my friends are all conservatives. Whether they are die-hard SW fans or casual fans, they all liked TFA and look forward to R1. No problems with diversity or a female lead. SW is loved across the political spectrum. Liberal…conservative…doesn’t matter.
Again, you’re welcome to google Alt-Right and be acquainted with the Alt-Right.
‘knee jerked’…..’hateful reaction’….your
reaction is typical for a Leftie. You didn’t disappoint. It was what I expected.
You still don’t understand. So, I will repeat myself. I don’t know anyone who is
‘alt-right….’alt-left’….alt-anything. The ‘alt’ moniker has no meaning to
me. A person either leans to the right or leans to the left…period. Plus, I
personally don’t know any conservatives who boycotted TFA, R1 or any other SW
film. If someone did, then they’re no friend of mind no matter what they call
themselves. All the ones I know liked or loved TFA. It’s not a controversy to me.
You focus on the fringe element to paint a broad brush over everyone. Lately,
most of the ‘hate’ comes from liberals who decry hatred from others. It’s
hypocrisy^2.
Exactly. Back to attacking a leftie. You don’t even know that I’m a leftie. I didn’t state that I was, nor did I share political view points.
Only that you started attacking the left when someone pointed out a factual news story where a part of your political spectrum in the “Alt-Right” has started a boycott against Rogue One because they believe it is essentially an attempt at White Genocide and an effort to deface the President Elect.
I get that you don’t know anything, your ignorance has been on display repeatedly. All I can say is look up the news stories that are not even a week old about this boycott and who is foisting it upon the masses.
Lol…no, it’s you who doesn’t understand what I’m saying. You are claiming you aren’t on the Left? You could be a libertarian, but one thing I know is you’re no conservative. I’ve never heard one talk like you. I don’t care about news stories about people wanting to boycott SW. They are of no importance to me. I repeat, I don’t know anyone who has those attitudes about SW. But you seem fixated on them.
“I don’t care about news stories about people wanting to boycott SW”
Except you do, you commented on it, then started an argument you clearly can’t comprehend, despite having initiated it. Brilliant.
In case you want to compare.
US army spend more $ than the 6 next following world best country armies together. Anyone else have military bases abroad? 1 or 2 may be Russia or UK, but 1000 like USA?
See it like that, if anything looks like the Empire or the First Order in the Earth, to eyes of anyone (out of USA obviously), that is US army.
Many people saw in ROTJ the defeat in Vietnam, for example…
Even Disney looks like the Empire :D… they own everything!
I was in the USAF back in the 80s and we were welcomed overseas; especially in Europe. Here’s the test for who has the moral high ground: which countries do people struggle, fight, and die to get into and which countries do people struggle, fight, and die to leave?
It is up to you how you want to see it.
Ronald Reagan has an Avenue in Warsaw, but he was not very welcome in other countries of Europe.
I was just opening your eyes about the presence and size of USA military and the presence and size of other armies.
Obviously each person has the right to interpret a movie as they want to do.
Stalin for good or bad defeated Hitler, you only have to see the german casualties in the East front compared to the West. I think if you enjoy to compare, Clone Wars is more similar to World War 2, that time of history. The conflict showed in ANH, ESB, ROTJ, is not a global war as WW2 was, is an unbalanced conflict, Clone Wars had 2 sides similar power.
I see you have enough age to remember Pinochet in Chile, he directly bombed his parlament 1973, if you see Darth Vader in 1978 was him, same clothes, similar glasses… Operation Condor and School of Americas in Panama. And related to this I would not be the first one saying that there is a kind of relationship between “The Death Star” and the CIA symbol.
You are certainly right about one thing Star Wars is about good versus evil. I can’t speak to the rest of your interpretation.
What about people who give it 10/10 just like they gave TFA 10/10? WHat are they?
Let’s say movie is at least 7/10, which means 10/10 is more realistic than 1/10.
Let’s say movie is at least 7/10, which means 10/10 is more realistic than 1/10. Also, people who gave 10/10 at least watched the movie, and enjoyed it, but You can’t give 1/10 without watching movie, for some stupid political reasons
It’s not really coming from racist white people, well sort of. There are Star Wars fans who have their own agenda to not view or view the film just so they can pick it apart and see what flaws these new SW films have. When they do, these fans exploit a tiny imperfection and make it a big deal, but you also have to keep in mind that there are also SW fans who are not too keen on OT related material, and you know who those fans are.
Those are not STAR WARS fans, those are STAR WARS hipsters. They will shit on every movie that is not original trilogy even before they watch it, and they will say like ”I will never watch it, because of that and that” and of course, they will be the first ones that will download Cam Version and watch it, because they can’t wait to watch it, and after they see it, they will like it, but they will still keep shitting on movie, because they want to stay ”loyal to their own stupid point of view on everything” And that’s what those people are. Trust me, I know because I had friend like that, obviously, he is not my friend anymore LOL
You don’t know who is a ‘true’ fan is or not. Everyone has their own reason to give it 1/10 or 10/10. I’ve enjoyed all the SW films. Obviously, some haven’t.
They are Star wars fans, true Star Wars fans. Trouble is, there are so many Star Wars fans that some of them are inevitably going to be assholes.
the bigger question is who cares about imdb? it has zero effect on anything.
If the Cheetoh-supremacists actually boycott the movie then it’s a double win: we get to see an awesome SW movie in the comfort of a theater devoid of hateful morons.
If they want to punish themselves and miss out on what appears to be a new classic, then they should go right ahead. The rest of us will attempt to enjoy life.
going on an insult laden diatribe while claiming not to be on the hateful side. classic.
User reviews on IMDB are useless.
Why do they allow people to vote before a movie has even opened?
Who are those people?
CrankyMcCrankPants, GerryBlue, PlatinumStar, WhedonsLisp, and apparently now the Alt-Right.
Incredible. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…It’s looking more and more like this may be the Star Wars movie I have been waiting almost 33 years for. From the dissapoinments of the prequels to the rehashed, missed opportunity of J.J.’s “Star Trek with Han Solo”, it’s been an long, dry spell.
A New Hope is my favorite of them all (I was seven when it came out; nothing could have had a bigger influence on my life at that time) and to see the “story behing the story” is going to be amazing.
So far it sounds like they’ve done it right. Can not wait for this!
Well, we live in the world where everything is “ABSOLUTELY AWESOME” until you check it for yourself. Then it’s awesome or… it isn’t.
At the premiere, it’s “absolutely awesome!” If you ever want to be invited back to one of these things again. Just business.
A lot of them had something (negative) to say about TFA in reviews, so it’s not just business.
You can tell the difference between polite praise and genuinely overjoyed praise, which is what the reaction to R1 is reading as.
Not true at all.
Point me to negative first reactions from any recent red carpet premier and I’ll happily defer. The understood ettiquette seems to be ‘say something nice, and if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything until the film is in general release’.
There were negative reactions after TFA.
Like all the Snoke theories suck your conspiracy theories suck.
Well, that’s nice for them I suppose, but honestly “red carpet, invitee-only reactions say movie is good” – is that a surprise to anyone? We’ll see the real story in a few days. Anyways, tickets in hand for Friday, IMAX 3D (based on the look of the film so far, this’ll be the first time I’ve ever plunked down cash for those addons) and looking forward to it. Based on the comments about murky plotting and some hesitations raised over at bmd from the 28 minute sneak peak, I will go in with tempered expectations and hope to be blown away.
I disagree. People came out of Episode VII and said they enjoyed the film and they were glad Star Wars was back. No one said it was the best Star Wars film ever. And there were people who openly criticized it right away.
Totally. I liked it. Bits of it I liked a lot but I don’t love it. There’s a lot of valid criticism and it’s a hugely imperfect movie.
I’m sure you’ll find ample things to complain about in it.
Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to get your permission to have an opinion for this film first.
When have you ever required that?
See, do what I do: don’t give a damn what anyone else says and make up your own mind.
Oh, as always, I intend to 🙂 just being the wet-blanket practical voice among all the “SEE!!! TWEETS SAY IT’S THE BEST EVAHR!!!!!!”. Did anyone really expect anything different after this screening? That said, regardless of how the film turned out I don’t think I’m going to regret having shelled out for the IMAX 3D – if nothing else, it LOOKS amazing, and even those with mixed feelings about the premier are saying it’s a visual treat.
Didn’t it mostly remain that way after TFA? 92 percent on Rottentomatoes still to this day. If a premiere invite was cause for good review why doesn’t every movie with Premieres get almost all good reviews, more movies have Premieres than Star Wars and they don’t get nearly all good reviews just for the sake of being invited.
That’s a bit confused logic. At the red carpet premier? Yeah, even mediocre films tend to get…well, these aren’t even reviews yet…nice tweets? The actual reviews will shake out however they will once critics get a hold of it and have the gag order removed. That’s all I’m saying – this part is entirely expected, and means little. It’s some nice WoM for LFL and Disney that people are saying nice things, but these aren’t critical reviews. There have been some less than ecstatic concerns raised, so I’m backing off the insane level of anticipation I’ve been building to with every trailer. As much as possible I’m going to try and go in with level expectations.
It’s not a science, your mileage may vary
Yeah that makes sense. I don’t know about these critics being ‘corporate sell-outs’ as apparently some people think. But the excitement of simply *being* at a red carpet premier seeing and meeting stars who pull out all the stops to make you feel welcome, together with the fact that most of these people are already die-hard Star Wars fans – all of this has to have an impact. It’s human nature: we’re less likely to trash someone who has treated us kindly, and we tend to transfer over good feelings that we had while experiencing something to that thing…
They said exactly the same thing about Force Awakens although it was utter garbage. These reviews belong to #fakenews because obviously, these bloggers and “journalists” aren’t independent.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t think these tweets are impartial but most critics and fans liked TFA.
Exactly, a lot of the critics shown above liked TFA, but had also some complaints about it. These are people who say what’s on their mind, if Rogue One was underwhelming/bad, most of them would have said that.
Not agreeing with you does not mean these journalists are somehow not independent. It means you do not agree with their movie reviews. That’s it.
critics are paid to give their opinion and opinions by nature are subjective.
Indirectly paid maximum (they dont get cash to post twitter reactions). And not all critics are corporate sellouts. They know pretty well that their credibility is very fragile. Beeing constantly wrong about a movie may costs a significant portion of their fanbase…
This is a silly discussion. No proof anyone is paid.
What I meant by indirectly paid was getting themselves invited to such events.
That’s just part of being a critic. They go to lots of these events and don’t praise all the movies. Batman v Superman, for example.
They didn’t have to tweet their praise. Many who went didn’t. They could have just walked out and said bah.
Exactly, all those poste are utter fake!…
That’s a silly thing to say. They liked it, but you didn’t. Doesn’t mean they are fake. IT MEANS OPINIONS VARY.
Reactions to TFA were much more muted then these. People enjoyed the film, but didn’t go Gonzo over it aside from the fact it was better than the prequels and a decent film for them.
Also, TFA wasn’t garbage. But you’re entitled to your angry opinion.
Personally, I really enjoyed The Force Awakens. If I thought it was “utter garbage” I would not have seen it 3 times at the cinema. Lol
I think its safe to say everybody’s TFA’s reviews were muted because we all wanted to be sure we liked it. Thus, the great majority (assumed) of people who said: “I liked it the first time, but LOVED it the second time.”
practically none of the footage from the first TFA teaser was that way in the movie either. I’m concerned of the less fanboying reviews I see…. I read “plot holes” too often…
Can you please link some of those? I’ve only read positive reviews so far.
just look up on imdb… but then again, imdb users hate everything that isn’t fincher, tarantino, godfather or shawshank redemption…
Those are all fake reviews. The people who have really seen the movie most likely dont post IMDB reviews.
oh… well… We’ll see
What most people consider a plot hole is not usually a plot hole.
I agree on that. That’s why I’m not 100% positive neither on thise kind of reviews, nor these kind of reviews. Above all, I’ll decide it myself whether it’s good or bad.
Just watched the world premiere, it gets me so excited and hyped! K2S0 will be the breakout star it seems. Haven’t seen or heard anything negative about ROGUE ONE, but now I’m going offline to avoid the spoilers. Hopefully the movie will not disappoint on Wednesday.
that bacta tank(or whatever it is) scene better still be in movie or i will be bummed that we wasted so much time speculating on it.
https://twitter.com/Breznican/status/807828278375419904
oh, thank god. 😉
Baseless speculation from foolish Internet people. There was zero evidence it was cut.
you must be new to the internet. welcome.
Must have read every review a dozen times now, I even read Kevin Smiths once 🙂 It’s looking good
*Promptly books seat for an additional Thursday screening*
No more internet from me until i see the movie.
is jiang wen dead or something? he wasn’t even on the red carpet for the premiere
He dropped a big spoiler at Celebration. Since then, he’s been detained in the Disney Vault.
Of course they are not going to talk about the bad parts. Like where it is revealed that it is Jar-Jar in the Bacta tank.
SPOILER:
Jar-Jar is not in the movie. At all. The good news, though, is that the person in the bacta tank is pretty much who you think it is…
– Pomojema
I Can’t wait to see Rogue One, first showing in my area in 7PM Thursday and i got tickets!
Why put so much in the trailers that isn’t in the actual film?
They were open about the fact that there were extensive reshoots.
They were in completed form. Many with complex visual effects.
That’s right. Re-shoots were happening as late as July this year.
Reshoots aren’t typically effects heavy shots. They’re typically inserts like Rey concentrating during the saber fight in TFA or new dialogue added to flesh our characters.
It’s been clearly established that R1 had more extensive reshoots than what is “typical”.
According to who?
By credible news outlets. Up to 40% of the movie was re-shot.
Top… men
Because you can accelerate the hype engine with spectacular shots and not spoil the movie.
Kind of brilliant, really.
I thought they were showing far more clips than usual. No we know why.
boom!
Can’t wait til Grace Randolph posts her spoiler review tomorrow. Then people will start spoiling the movie for people without trying
I learned my lesson from TFA. Media blackout for me until I see it on Thursday.
Any tie-ins to SW:Rebels as some spoilers are suggesting ?
If a movie critic puts it out there, I’m almost positive that we’re getting some sort of reference to Rebels, likely explicit or direct.
Lookin good…! 🙂
Early reviews are in and….MESA SO SMILING TO SEE THEM!!!!!!!
.

Except for the spoilery thing about that one cameo character. I’m really kind of sad to know they went there, in exactly the worst way they possibly could have. Other than that, FRIDAY CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH!!!!
