Because we'll find out that they succeed in getting the plans and delivering them to Princess Leia? Isn't the #1 selling point of this movie the whole Clone Wars vibe of space war?

i even avoided Titanic spoilers.

Box office tracking for R1 was projecting a $130M opening weekend just last week. Now it's up to $175M based on the strength of pre-sales.

So . . . storm troopers still cant shoot. White guys are goofy and useless. Girls are awesome.

Yep, definitely going to pay money to watch this.

What the fuck?

“We wanted the audience to relate to Jyn as a person, whether you’re a boy or a girl, a man or a woman.”
Does this dumbass know what relateable means? Absolutely nothing about Rey was remotely relateable to anyone.

In fact it was the largest deviation from ANH they copied oh so religiously.

Made worse by the stormtrooper who rarely missed once he stopped being a stormtrooper.
It wasn't lost on me watching 7 that the only white people you see is on the empire and the black minorities were "slave" stormtroopers pretty much.
Also the Nazi like gathering before the invasion with a white man speaking literally like Hitler.
I guess lots of people overlook that but given the liberal racism crap this year and only watching it for the 2nd time the other night, I couldn't help but notice.
At least they haven't gone full Ghostbuster. Yet.
Stay classy Hollywood.

You must be new to Star Wars.

The parallels between Nazi Germany and The Empire (now the First Order) have been there since the beginning, noted, and quite deliberate. If that isn't to your liking then don't give them your money. That will do more than shaking your impotent fist at the sky on a message board.

The parallels between Nazi Germany and the Empire have always been there, but my worry now is that they are going to forget one of the basic principles of movies. Show me, don't tell me.

I just worry that they are going to move from showing me in all the various subtle ways how bad the empire is, to someone preaching at me like I am an idiot and they have to make sure I get it. Maybe I'm just old and grumpy, but I feel like a subtle message hidden in subtext is beyond most movies anymore. They just beat you about the head and shoulders with it cause they think everyone is too stupid to notice it otherwise.

Why the fuck would stormtroopers learn to shoot in a prequel? Continuity confirmed.

Republic Clonetroopers = elite military force
Imperial Stormtroopers = bumbling idiots
FirstOrder Stormtroopers = reasonably competent

Move from? They were never subtle, 'member they blew up a whole populated planet in the first one just to make a point, and don't blink when Vader chokes high ranking officers to death?
