Well guess what you fucking imbecile having character development, an actual story that matters, and a reason to watch this shit is what would make a good movie.

You are objectively and provably wrong.

1. Character Development: Now, did you mean character arc, or backstory?
A: A character arc is the transformation or inner journey[1] of a character over the course of a story. - There are more than 1 character arcs. Jyn goes from a thief to a rebel with a cause. Bohdi goes from a rebel assassin to a rebel with a concious. Shuttle pilot goes from an imp to a rebel. Chirrut and his boy friday (I seriously suck with names) go from guardians of a destroyed temple to avenging angels. OK, maybe their arc wasn't such a big swing. They all went from people who wanted to live to people who found something worth dying for.
B: Backstory - Which characters do you not know enough backstory for? He didn't dickslap you with it by giving everyone a flashback sequence, but we know the backstory for all the main characters through exposition. It's a common style with anthology type short stories (which I'm pretty sure they specifically said the standalone movies were going to be). It lets you know what you need to know when you need to know it without the story dragging in the beginning.

2. Story Line. You'd have to be retarded not to have seen the story line, but I guess that's all the more reason for me to re-iterate it here. Man captured and forced to build super weapon. He gains the trust of his captors and builds a flaw into it and passes the information to the group that most wants to destroy said weapon. Then the group has to go on a mini mission that concludes with a public raid to get the final update.

3. Reason to watch. Clearly your reason to watch was to hate on it. So once again, mission accomplished.

Hoss you think chewing with your mouth open is normal. Then you hop into this thread and post more dumb shit. Enjoy your pretty moving pictures in awe bro. This movie was tailor made for people like you it seems.

With reading comprehension like that that, it's no wonder you can't appreciate a subtle classic such as Rogue 1. I would tell you to enjoy hating everything that is good in the world, but I'm pretty sure your goal is to enjoy nothing ever.

Yeah just look at all the gushing reviews for how awesome this movie was? At least the majority need more than the words Starwars and shit being blown up to consider it a movie.

What I was talking about there had nothing to do with salvaging Starkiller Base as a concept.

Yes, I know. Starkiller Base pisses me off so much that I can't stop myself from ranting about it whenever I get the slightest lead in.

What kinda super weapon do you think the new order will build for episode 9? Will it be another starkiller base, or can they think of another super weapon? Maybe they can just weaponize an actual star, or a nebula or something.

What would be cool is a giant space lightsaber star ship they could use to just cut planets up.

They're going to clone Kylo Ren 1 billion times and create an emo black hole that will implode the universe into a dense ball of angst and whining.

Is there a listing of all the project names mentioned from the archives? I'll bet a couple show up as foreshadowing Episode 8+9

What really sucks about everything new is they keep coming up with new shitty locations instead of showing us some of the badass places from existing material. The mention of the Sun Crusher got me to thinking about this. Cool locations like The Maw, the shipyards at Kuat, the planets of Byss, Nar Shaddaa, and Corellia. But no, they have to keep coming up with new faggotry.

Im actually hoping that part of the plotline involves the Imperial Remnant, or whatever it is calling itself these days, putting itself out there as the legitimate authority and source of stability / support in the galaxy. They could denounce the actions of the First Order and offer material assistance to the Republic Worlds threatened by their machinations.

If they want to start sewing some seeds for an eventual Old Republic era turn in the franchise and change things up a bit with a more mystical rather than technological threat, they could pull some inspiration from some of the older lore and have Snoke trying to form his own triumvirate becoming a planetary scale threat in his ability with the Force by using knowledge uncovered from some as of yet unknown source from the distant past.

I had one question about the movie when i walked out...Doesnt the Battle of Scarif diminish the Battle of Hoth? Why didnt the Rebels just use X-Wings and Y-Wings to blast the AT-AT's on Hoth? This movie shows they knew that would have worked. Would certainly have stopped them better than harpoons and cables.

Of all the complaints that I've heard about this movie, this question bothers me the most because it strikes right at the heart of The Empire Strikes Back.

you just questioned that now?

Why didn't the rebels on Hoth use X-Wings to fight AT-ATs?



Best answer is, Rebel alliance is poorly geared, as a loose Rebel group. Xwings are baller as fuck. But there are few of them. and Rebels need to repair them/save them. So, only a couple might have been on Hoth. sending 2 vs the At-at's may have been deemed to dangerous. (although 2 xwings +10 speeders clearly would have been smarter.)

Xwings are fine in cold conditions. are fine in atmposphere. and were known to wreck at-at's before this movie as well.

And yes, several x-wings are shown to be fleeing Hoth, as they leave. including Luke himself in one.

maybe Rogue 3 will deal with the innept Rebel Alliance officer who made this tactical decision. Perhaps he was secretly working for the Empire.
