More evidence that Rian Johnson may have been following the unedited OT/ prequel formula. Like sort of knock-off Star Wars featuring a fan director in place of Lucas.
As you read the specifics of the OT and Prequel cuts and edits, you realize Rian may have had access to rough cuts and its not entirely impossible that he drew his creative from the raw versions of the OT and Prequels. If you were a director in Rian's position, you would be probably trying to learn from the master in much the same way. Except the knock-off is never as good as the original authentic article.

Takes a particular kind of runaway ego to rename something that you didn't name in the first place and that has been used extensively under the original name for years in the Star Wars EU.

Yeah I don't doubt at all that Lucas thinking something like the Sith homeworld was too important to the overall lore of Star Wars to let a third party come up with a name for it was a factor.

Saw this tonight. The humor was mostly weak and forced, overall it was pretty boring. Leia flying through space was dumb as fuck. Light speed ramming the ship and everyone dies except the two heroes and Phasma who magically moves across the ship from each other so they can stomp into the scene was dumb as fuck. The red and white planet scenes looked cool.
5/10
Edit: Oh yeah, the entire "there's only one cryptologist who can do whatever dumb shit you need is on Vegas planet and wears a red brooch was stupid. Then to make it even more fucking stupid they get randomly thrown in the same jail cell with someone else who can do the job that only one guy in the universe is good enough to do. HOW FUCKING LUCKY OF THEM!!! dumb

The Falcon is supposed to be the fastest ship in the galaxy, and they even noted in TLJ, and I quote Finn while traveling back to the fleet, "this ship really moves!" Lighter ships can apparently hyperspace faster than huge ships. For whatever reason.
This is fucking gold.

to be fair. its Starwars. Luck and Coincidences has a built in explanation.
When you have an all encompassing Force, that compels action, influences events, and creates fate, and destiny...outrageous coincidences are not outrageous at all.

Oh come on. Rogue One was a good Star Wars story. It has some cheesy dialogue and some problems but it was miles ahead of everything we've gotten since RoTJ. It had pacing, it had story, it had character and plot development and it had some badass Star Wars action.
And it didn't have any emo, angsty, crybaby protagonists.
EDIT: Maybe that's their evil plan. Make the main storyline so bad they can abandon it without anyone getting upset and make off shoot stories that people appreciate but don't cost them nearly as much to make.

It was better than the other 2 Disney abortions, but that's it. Characters have zero charisma, nothing interesting about any of them. Basically a series of inconsequential action scenes strung together starring people you don't give a fuck about, plus you know they all die in the end. Only highlight was the 20 second Vader scene. Story also contradicts the OT, though that's to be expected from Disney.

Rogue One was the best Star Wars Movie in 33 years.
it's amazing how any rere can even say TFA or TLJ can hold a candle up to Rogue One's cohesive story.
Rogue One served a purpose, it was Star Wars 3.5, that we didn't care for, but in retrospect makes sense, it filled in the gaps nicely.
Sure i'll admit even tho R1 had it's share of SJW'ism at least it wasn't in your face... WOW two asians on screen combined they still had less dialogue than the indian or the half dindu, lazy eye.
the bad guy was really white and really british, whatever, he was better than Hux
OK, another bitch as the main hero, at least she was pretty good at being a scoundrel while Rey has been flopping around being horrible at her new internship.

The one thing it DIDN'T have was character development. It was a bunch of nobodies that nobody cares about by the end of the movie. Poor writing and poor casting. Except K2-S0, who was pretty cool

I agree with everything you said here, except for the part about K2-S0. He was a watered down version of Marvin from HHG2G. He was pretty bland too.
