"ROGUE ONE" PLOT LEAK

Kinda' disappointing.

Weapons engineer Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) is conscripted by Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendehlson) to assist the Galactic Empire in the development of the Death Star. Galen's wife, Lyra, is killed by Krennic, while their daughter, Jyn, becomes a fugitive and is rescued by Galen's old friend, Resistance fighter Saw Guerrera (Forest Whitaker).

Years later, Jyn (Felicity Jones) has become a criminal and is rescued from an Imperial detention facility on planet Wobani by Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), a member of the Rebel Alliance, and K2S0 (Alan Tuddyk), a reprogrammed Imperial droid. They escort her to the Rebel Alliance's base of operations on Yavin IV, where their leader, Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), reveals that Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), a Rebel spy in the Galactic Empire, has been captured by Guerrera while transporting vital information about the Death Star. The Rebels need Jyn to negotiate with Guerrera for Rook's release.

Arriving on planet Jedha, Jyn and Andor are ambushed by Stormtroopers and rescued by blind monk Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) and freelance assassin Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen) before being captured by Guerrera and his men and taken to Rook, who reveals that Galen designed the Death Star with a fatal flaw, an unprotected exhaust port.

Krennic locates Rook and uses the Death Star to fire at Jedha, creating a chain reaction that destroys the entire planet. Jyn, Andor, Rook, Imwe, Malbus and K2S0 escapes while Guerrera stays behind to die with his men.

Andor reports to the Rebel leaders that Galen is stationed on planet Eadu. Arriving there, the group watches as Galen reveals himself as the traitor to prevent Krennic from executing the other engineers. Jyn breaks into the facility to rescue him, but Galen is fatally injured in a Rebel bombing, while Krennic escapes. With his dying breath, Galen tells Jyn that the Death Star's plans are hidden on a fortress on planet Scarif.

Returning to Yavin IV, the Rebel leaders debate on how to proceed. Jyn urges them to steal the plans from Scarif, but they believe it to be a suicide mission and reject her proposal. Jyn decides to go on her own, and is joined by Andor and his followers.

The group arrives on Scarif in a stolen Imperial ship, and Imwe and Malbus lead an assault on the facility as a diversion so Jyn, Andor and K2S0 can infiltrate the facility and K2S0 sacrifices himself to disable the planetary shields and allow Jyn and Andor to steal the plans.

The Rebel leaders learn that Scarif is under attack and scramble a feet of X-Wings to help. Jyn and Andor make their way atop the facility to broadcast the data to the Rebel Alliance, but Andor is shot by Krennic and left behind.

Imwe sacrifices himself to blow up the facility's signal jammer, and Malbus dies in a blaze of glory, killing Krennic's elite Stormtroopers. Rook dies when his ship is blown up, just as the Rebel fleet arrives and begins destroying the facility. Jyn reaches the transmitter, but is caught by Krennic. Just as he's about to kill her, Andor returns and shoots him dead.

At the Death Star, Grand Moft Tarkin finds out that Scarif has been compromised and destroys it with the Death Star, and Jyn and Andor embrace as they're consumed by the shockwaves. Meanwhile, the Rebel fleet is intercepted by Darth Vader, who slaughters the Rebels and is then ordered by Tarkin to retrieve the plans.

The plans are intercepted by Princess Leia Organa, who departs to Alderaan to deliver them to her father, Senator Bail Organa.

Where did u get this from?

The movie is out already.

>Emperor Palatine speeder chase

Holy shit come on Disney

>who reveals that Galen designed the Death Star with a fatal flaw, an unprotected exhaust port.

My fucking sides.

So fucking boring I couldn't even get through reading it.

You could see it coming. It kinda ruins the end of a new hope now. knowing the rebels didn't win on their own.

>Everyone dies

Pretty ballsy, desu.

It's not even a real fatal flaw, the exhaust port was microscopic considering the size of the vessel, and it took a literal miracle of the force for anyone to make a successful hit on it.

At least there are not white men

>tfw still going to watch this for mon mothma

Spoiler: this did not need to exist

>Vader actually killing instead of being a 3 second cameo

I will give it a watch just for that

>as they're consumed by the shockwaves.
Is they dead?

What scene is this?

>white woman leads multicultural team of individualistic rebels against the authoritarian white empire
Pass.

All these retarded names make my head hurt.
The plot sounds far more complicated than it really is.

Hope this is true desu

>They all die

P O T T E R Y

>no Bothan spies

cam when?
we need to get in early so we can have the dankest memes

This is so fucking stupid. Why didn't Obi-Wan feel TWO OTHER PLANETS exploding then????

Wish they turned into the Knights of Ren but okay

I find myself looking to find reasons to hate this movie.
I want to hate it so fucking bad.

Same :/

>wish they turned into people who didn't exist 30 years before TFA

Okay?

Well I am finding reasons to love it :^)

>He doesn't know that the Knights of Ren existed way before Kylo Ren was born
Do you even read the lore?

Next time actually know facts before thinking otherwise

Apparently Felicity Jones was chosen solely on the amount of milk she produced.

Each of the potential female leads was hooked up to a tandem breast pump and milked until they had nothing left. Needless to say Felicity Jones produced by far the most milk.

This was done so that Disney could make maximum profits while they milked the series for everything it was worth, leaving nothing left but a dry, bear teet and an empty mouth for those who loved the series for what it once was.

...

...

Shill

If this is true they more or less copied the story of Halo Reach.

I thought the bothers were the spies who got the info on the second Death Star? Its Kyle Katarn whose getting fucked here.

fucking this. as i'm reading, i'm wondering if i'm even pronouncing half of this shit correctly.

Calm down, reddit

This movie by far looks amazing visually

Why didn't he just make the weak point large enough that it could be hit with targeting systems instead of needing the Force to take it down? That a pilot would be a Jedi seems like a big gamble when the are apparently all dead.

A fair concession, but even then - why turn this motley bunch into that?

It's not Bothans, it's "Manny Bothens died to bring us these plans". There is literally a character named Manny Bothans that was retconned into the ESW universe to get rid of the bothans that died to get the plans.

You know what I don't understand. Jyn and Andor are clearly adapted from Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn. I mean, fuck, her name is Jyn Erso instead of Jan Ors. They changed two letters. And this Andor fellow looks exactly like Kyle Katarn.

So why didn't they just make them Kyle and Jan? It's like they went out of their way to say fuck you.

inb4 EUfag.

>Galen designed the Death Star with a fatal flaw, an unprotected exhaust port

>what's the next step of your master plan?
>crashing this planetoid battle station with no survivorsh!

Fag

Because they wanted to make OG Donut steal characters for their Disney verse.

Seriously all of these new planet names and character names are fucking retarded. Disney was such a mistake.

Watched it today, can confirm it's correct, found it boring

Darth VAder is in that thank, he's bathing/regenerating wahtever

>lol planet is compromised? blow it up then

Kind of reduces the impact of the destruction of Alderaan as well.

Vader comes out of that tank and gets built

Huh. Never noticed.

Plot sounds like a darkhorse star wars comic where all of our heroes die, sounds kinda based.

Can you explain why it was disapointing? I haven't seen it but the plot as you describe it sounds cool enough, was it just executed shittily?

Kanan Jarrus is nu-Kyle, not Andor.

I don't know maybe you'll like the change, but as for me.
The thing is the entire SW franchise is heavily marketed with force users and lightsabers.
In this movie there were literally no force users except Vader who had like 5mins of screetime.
Also more than a half of the movie is them just talking, sneaking and having here and there a small fight.

They didn't blow up the entire planet, they only like destroyed one continent.

The fact we have new kyle and NotJacen/Jaina is the problem in itself.

Dark Forces Kyle, plus the first couple levels of Jedi Knight, was a rougish gunslinger-type, like Han Solo, rather than Luke Skywalker.
Then they created Dash Rendar to be more Han-ish and rather than have two carbon copies of Han, they gave Kyle Jedi powers.

>Scarif has been compromised and destroys it with the Death Star, and Jyn and Andor embrace as they're consumed by the shockwaves.
So the Death Star was used before a New Hope. Then why didn't Obi-Wan react to it back in episode 4. Didn't Tarkin say that the Alderaan was the first demonstration of it's power?

Yeah, like I said before it sounds like the everyman side of Star Wars we've seen primarily in comics and sometimes vidya.

Also, talking sneaking and skirmishing is the type of slow burn shit I missed in the breakneck sprint of TFA. So hopefully I will like the film as much as I like the description thus far

read They even sold it to the senate as a mining accident

Maybe he meant as the first demonstration on a planet anybody cares about? I would guess that Scarif isn't that well known

>go to theatres
>chill and clap when main characters die
>Awoo when darth vader kills rebels

>but Andor is shot by Krennic and left behind.
>Just as he's about to kill her, Andor returns and shoots him dead.

No way it's real. It's the most overused shitty cliché ever.

IT FITS

looks like shit tbqhwy senpai

Sorry but it's true. But in their defense Andor falls down the stairs when shot, and I doubt Krenic could even see him after that from the platform he was shooting from

I thought Vader was gonna stalk and kill all the rogue one team

so the rogue one team just all die on the mission and Vader just kills a bunch of faceless literally whos?

HOL UP

Wasnt the Death Star already designed ? You can see the plans on Geonosis, Count Dooku has them.

WHAT THE FUCK

Prequels retconned? oh shit.

EXACTLY

I aint making shit up dude, it's right there in Attack of the Clones.

The geonosian alien is looking at a red hologram of the Death Star

WHAT

THE

FUCK

He designed the laser, not the Death Star itself.

>Saw Guerrera
>Che Guevara
Hmmm....

I know I remember it.

well that's fucking bullshit might as well not used Vader at all

What the fuck? That completely ruins it. The whole point is that the Empire got arrogant and Luke made a borderline-impossible shot. If it was deliberately meant to be hit, then what's the point?

>might as well not used Vader at all
We have action figures to sell, goy.

>Resistance fighter Saw Guerrera

Oh, for fuck's sake, why not just call him Che Guevara and be done with it?

The death star itself was already designed, yeah.
They bring the dad in to design the gun.

He's there for nostalgia, and so they could put him on the poster.

As I said in the other thread, Mads and VAder were just a fucking bait, they both had like 5 mins if screentime.

Then why did they let him make an exhaust port somewhere else?

JUST TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN LMAO

THIS IS STAR WARS, STAR WARS!

THAT THING FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD??'

STAR WARS!

Sad part is, when he was designing it, it was just supposed to be a sustainable energy source pulled from a freaking huge lightsaber crystal.

>Death Star Superlaser is actually a lightsaber
>Darksaber vindicated

...

Can't I just watch that Star Wars instead of this worse new one?

I think the exhaust port is directly associated with the gun.
That would make sense why two little shots from an X-wing was enough to blow the Death Star up- they interacted with the gun's power source.

>Based Ben Mendelsohn killed by the old "le hero was shot but not actually dead" cliché
Fuck that. I heard Vader killed him and thought that was a much better way to go.

NO

>be Suicide Squad
>teaser The Joker in trailers
>give him almost fuck all to do in the final movie
>fans say what the fuck

>be Rogue One
>tease Darth Vader in the trailers
>give him almost fuck all to do in the final movie

For what purpose

>mfw reading this

It's actually Gerrera, not Guerrera.

Still stupid.

Though to be fair, he was originally a minor character in the cartoon, so they may have not expected him to take on a big role.

heh

>They introduce different races to erase stereotypes

>They give them stereotypical minority names

Top Kek they are actually retarded

>K2S0 sacrifices himself to disable the planetary shields
There was something similar in new COD.

>give him almost fuck all to do in the final movie

That was actually for the good

Who's in front of him? Sheev?

Actually them came out and said his role will be minimal

>tease audiences with a recognizable character that sells itself
Yeah what a waste of time that would be

The planets aren't completely obliterated without a trace like Alderaan. They're just fucked up real bad, as if several hundred nukes were dropped on them

>his name was guevara
>he was a guerilla

seriously?
