He is barely in the movie (2 1/2 scenes, maybe 7 minutes, has nothing to do with the plot or other characters) but his second scene is everything you want and more

Kathy Kennedy said a while ago his role is small.

Pffft, you ain't better than me.
Okay, in Action Figure GAF you are.
I actually regret going on the last day of SW Celebration this year instead of the day before that because I missed the unexpected Hamill takeover of the stage.

Yay! The only Star Wars movies to not be Certified Fresh are Attack of the Clones, The Phantom Menace, and The Clone Wars (which to me always seemed like an extended episode of the TV show instead of an actual movie).
It's about damn time!!!And there it is.

Small but fantastic.
Been feeling that way since it announced.
Don't think that's what a chop block actually is though.
Yeah see you'll always have your Daisy pic but I'ma track down Hamill in Orlando for a pic and we gonna be square.
Is there any evidence that new Star Wars films are made by committee? All three directors of the main saga films have writing credits, which would appear to give them a tremendous amount of creative control. Story group relies on their vision, not the other way around. Meanwhile much of the talent involved in the first six films - Kasdan, Burt, Williams, Chiang - remain involved.
So what's changed? The days of Lucas behaving like an inviolable visionary are behind us. It's fair to say that the movies are more collaborative. But what evidence is there that stories are being drafted by tables of executives, or that the films have been subject to studio tampering and focus testing? Rogue One reshoots?
Maybe the movie just sucked. Maybe Gareth actually wanted to do reshoots?
Thank god, they don't deserve it. Though I'm shocked AOTC is fresh at 65%. Top critics is 40% though so rotten in that area.
2 hours too long.=p
It kind of is but not really. Some scenes from that movie are in some episodes of the show but the context is different. It's fucking weird. That being said the show is awesome and the movie is a terrible representation.

Why isn't it Thursday yet.
Well, that's what it originally was. Lucas decided to just release the first few eps as a movie for money and exposure.

I'm excited, this seems to be exactly where I expected it to be and I think I'll love it.

Kylo Ren in TFA actually had a lot of screentime.

Different strokes for different people I assume. The tomatometer more often then not, fits in with the general public's reception to a film.

Damn my guess was 83% and its sitting at 82% now!
There's potentially 150+ more reviews to hit, so I'm guessing it settles at 78%.

Is Grand Moff Tarkin in this in any way?
If this is just a film where Donnie Yen is awesome, I will be satisfied.
This is a prequel to Ip Man about his great great great great blind grandfather. I'm looking forward to seeing him in action, glad he got a role in the film that doesn't seem to be wasted.

Lots of people saying good things about him in R1.

Haha, Riz's questions were the best.
Haha good stuff. Riz is hilarious.
Wow and that was some good cinematography.
Probably not like it but getting reminded of Suicide Squad.
I can deal with that. As much as I love him at some point these movies are going to have to stand on their own. But if I'm satisfied by what he does I'm good.
And there it is.
Actually a lot lower than I would have thought after the premiere impressions.
Jiang Wen must be banned from talking to the public now lol

He's locked in a storage cupboard at Lucasfilm indefinitely.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
83 % RT score, meanwhile the superior Force Awakens (and best film in the series alongside Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith) stays at 92 %.
I remember all the Rogue One stans telling me it would be the best SW film. What happened? The decline is real.

of course. unless it's a 0% it means there is some critic out there that likes it, which means some other people will like a movie too.
It's just one gauge.

Interesting to note the average rating is as high as Civil War and higher than Doctor Strange despite the % being significantly lower (83 v 90/91)
It seems like people who liked Rogue One REALLY liked it

Yes! No! It's a secret. Haha
Yup first twitter posts told me civil war was going to be an epic action thriller.
What I got was the most boring sterile movie in years ( who cares if they fight if you know nobody will ever get hurt)

Take a look at some of the "rotten" reviews. I'd say most of them sound completely positive until they pull something out of their ass. Personally I don't know that it will be better than TFA. It's a Star Wars Movie what do you want more?
From the consensus on RT:
"Rogue One draws deep on Star Wars mythology while breaking new narrative and aesthetic ground -- and suggesting a bright blockbuster future for the franchise."
Very interested in the bolded. That's what makes SW for me, so I wonder what they mean by this in the context of the film.
Dude the scores can mean absolutely nothing depending on taste (aside from hitting like 0% which somebody already mentioned above).
For example I really don't like the first or second Star Trek movies JJ did. But those are sitting at like 95 and 88 or something.
And some people loathe TFA and that's sitting at 92. Don't freak out.
Or unless this is sarcasm.

Did we watch the same movie?
It was pretty bland
Yeah, I don't get it, it was a super hero movie. Since when do the superheroes ever really get hurt anyway? In this vein, I found Civil War to actually have some stakes, and
the bad guy won in the end anyway, and some of the superheroes DID get hurt

Never take his posts seriously haha.
Lol good to know. But I edited before anyway. No way someone can be serious about that.
