>Be Gareth Edwards >Pitch Rogue One as a gritty realistic war film where you are going to actually have the rebels fear the stormtroopers because they could die at any second on the battlefield >Hire the same composer who made music for your Godzilla film because he is going to generate some great emotional cues that will be playing over the realistic battle scenes >Disney suddenly jumps in >They fire your composer and hire the same guy who composed the music for Doctor Strange, Jurassic World, Spider-Man: Homecoming because Disney needs someone who can make "quick up beat like music" when the Rebels are killing dozens of stormtroopers in seconds Gareth's vision of Rogue One is abandoned and instead we get this: youtube.com/watch?v=_kAflDuAmko
This pisses me off. Why are these Rebels able to kill lots of stormtroopers instantly? No I am not referring to it having a female lead but rather just the idea that Rogue One is about invincible Rebels... I don't care if these Rebels die at the end.
I THOUGHT this was going to be Saving Private Ryan in space where the Rebels would be shitting themselves every second, looking over their shoulder to see if any stormtroopers were around the corner because they could die at any second.
I think this goes without saying, but Im not going to see this Star Wars in theaters opening day or at all
Chase Price
Was the screenwriter Gareth's doing or Disney's? The screenwrite definitely forced an agenda, and as we've seen Lucas deeply regrets selling Star Wars to these kikes
Wyatt Scott
target audience for star wars is kids retard
Samuel Taylor
WHY is Felicity's character beating stormtroopers with a melee weapon and they are unable to shoot her at all?
This film was meant to be entirely different from the other ones because this is meant to be about average Rebels.
And what’s with all the Rebels believing in the force, Felicity saying “May the force be with us”, the blind monk saying “The force is strong”. It is just too much

>impying there was a vision >implying shitzilla was good >implying Gareth Edwards dont anything worth seeing >implying you're not a viral marketer ALREADY starting to do damage controll because you retards know this shit is going to blow
Nicholas Diaz
Because Disney's Star Wars is nothing but action flicks as they don't care about the stories or characters.
Lucas let us explore many worlds and many characters but JJ in the Force Awakens only cared about making sure action scenes came sooner.
Isaiah Bell
>impying there was a vision This is Gareth Edwards' quote before shooting of Rogue One began:
"It comes down to a group of individuals that don't have magic powers, that have to bring hope to the galaxy. It's about the fact that god's not coming to save us, and we're on our own. The absence of the Jedi is omnipresent in the film. It hangs over the whole movie."
Jose Gutierrez
>I THOUGHT this was going to be Saving Private Ryan in space where the Rebels would be shitting themselves every second, looking over their shoulder to see if any Stormtroopers were around the corner because they could die at any second.
There has never been a version of Star Wars where this is true.
People trying to reclaim Stormtroopers as some kind of elite commando force is one of the dumbest traits of the EU and the movies should keep away from it as far as possible.
They're cannon fodder, always have been.
I just don't get why people are saying this is being re-written to be more family-friendly when they hired Tony Gilroy for the re-writes.
Yes, clearly, they got the writer of Michael Clayton and the original Bourne trilogy to add more jokes and fun to a movie. Nothing says fun like the writer of these scenes:
China doesnt have a ratings system. So all movies in China are for all ages. Normal USA PG-13 is safe in China. A hard PG-13 featuring disturbing combat scenes is not.
Donnie Yen is part of the cast because Star . Wars is low hype in China. Marvel Studios and Transformers are high hype there. They need Rogue One to be successful in China because they need to strengthen the fanbase there in order for the chinese to go to the newly opened shangai disneyland that the chinese government co-owns. bob iger has also said that if shangai disneyland does well, the chinese government has given disney the ok to build more.
This is the reason the vision was changed.
Grayson Bennett
>There has never been a version of Star Wars where this is true. Watch the opening scene of A New Hope. Stormtroopers kill all the rebels in that scene.
Stormtroopers kill Jedi in Revenge of the Sith.
Charles Hall
Yes, Stormtroopers kill people.
But they're still cannon fodder.
Robert Howard
You are getting a gritty realistic war film. Disneys gritty realistic war film.
Christian White
Where in any of the Star Wars movies are stormtroopers shown to be anything other than Power Rangers Putty tier disposable fodder to make the heroes look good? They are comically bad because that is their charm.
Josiah Jones
Star Wars and Disney flicks aren't art, they're not movies made for adults, they're not thought-provoking or profound.
I don't know why you would ever be expecting anything more than the absolute basic elements and emotional ques of a modern Hollywood movie.
Lucas Bennett
Worldwide releases were a mistake.
Angel Collins
You want gritty? Fuck off have a pizzicatto instead.
Liam Campbell
Watch the opening scene of A New Hope.
Thomas Rivera
>they're not movies made for adults, they're not thought-provoking or profound. Read the Extended Universe novels

No. They're not even movies.

Nah, Fantastic 4 already proved that's a dumb idea

Read the Extended Universe novels. :|
Joseph Barnes
isn't this vision pretty dumb though? seeming that the war is ended by one of the most powerful jedi? kinda undercuts the movie's theme
Colton Sullivan
Edwards is a shit director.
His Godzilla film was garbage. Pure fucking garbage.
Daniel Sullivan
agreed. Godzilla 2014 was hot garbage.
Zachary Moore

When this was announced I loved the idea but they way things went I won't pay to see this piece of shit. Neither will my gf for that matter.

let me guess, Shin Godzilla is kino, right? Fucking kids.
Christopher Lopez
2014 Gojira wasn't that good desu, having le no acting skills guys being all over the place pulling off stunts he shouldn't be able to left and right killed the flick
Noah Mitchell
Opening scene of ANH and the empire wins the battle of hoth. Any scenes that don't involve main characters the empire is shown to be able to hold it's own.
Levi Ross
It had more in common with a Call of Duty movie than a Godzilla film. The monsters felt like they were just fucking set pieces for dumbfuck marine to run away from.
Carson Davis
And they fuck up the jawas and uncle Owen's hud pretty good
Jack Russell
The droids have better results than the Stormtroopers
Kevin Gonzalez
>uncle Owen's hud That was Boba Fett who killed Luke's aunt and uncle.
Julian Carter
is this fanfic?
Lucas Jones

>They're cannon fodder, always have been. Why do Disney shills make it so obvious they haven't even watched Star Wars?
> And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise.

Justin Long
Even kids are too smart for movies with nigs and English women as the leads
A whole generation will be natsoc

Jason Ross
>be user >giving the benefit of the doubt to a movie made by a billion dollar ultracorporation
Let's be real, it's going to be 2~ hours of mind numbing cgi action without any sense of danger for the main characters, stormtroopers will be comically nonthreatening as a blind asian man with a stick beats them up en masse as they slowly and orderly approach into melee range with him instead of blasting/thermal detenatoring his sweet and sour ass back the the great wall, and with enough "hey remember THIS" to keep "fans" watching and clapping so they can feel like cool star wars fans because look guys "I" remember Darth Vader!!! I remember the death star!! These are things that I recognize as being from something I care about so everything else doesn't matter!! I feel comfortable watching this movie while I consume my 48oz coca cola and stuff my fat fucking face with popcorn!!
Noah Ortiz
Holy shit....was that part with her quipping to the droid in the middle of a battle after she somehow beat down like four stormtroopers with an attachment to her blaster while not a single one of them or their backup shot her a real part of the movie?

Lmao that looks awful
Looks like pandering to nostalgiafags, women power fantasises, and China. It's not subtle at all
