>not indulging in the Star Wars Canon
You literally can't say you have seen Rogue One if you haven't also read Catalyst. It's required to fully grasp the events of the movie.

OP is full of shit.
What the hell are you implying?
Mount Yoda, the Starforge, and Luke Skywalker clones are SOOOOOooo much better than the new canon, sure
He's so perfect
Well, then I gladly say I haven't seen Rogue One and never will.
is this the one where Jyn has her way with some guy?
>giving a shit about star wars
People will meme, but you are right OP
I don't know how the hell people are supposed to know Galens or even Krennics deal without reading the book.
>You must read a book to truly understand this film because the film didn't do it's job in successfully telling a story properly
OP here, and believe me, I am not going to defend Rogue One as a standalone film.
I read Catalyst and Rebel Rising and rewatched Rogue One.
There's references to Rebel Rising as well.
I know just about the entire life of Jyn.
How is this? I want to read it but I'm so far behind with the Episode 8 supplimental stuff. If it's short I might as well.
Not interesting enough. I wont read a book just because it has star wars in the title.
The nu canon books and comics are complete and utter shit across the board. None of it even comes close to the EU in quality. Fucking die shill.
Well it starts right where Catalyst ends and Saw saves Jyn.
Goes through her life growing up into he teens living with Saw and learning her training to fight.
Then everything crumbles around her and you learn why she's so tragic.
I enjoyed it.
You learn more about why she's so hateful and doesn't care about the Empire or Rebellion.
They are unironically better.
How long is it compared to catalyst?
Shorter.
Chapters aren't long so you can pick up and go whenever for short reads.
I hope you guys are aware that these books are just written as they go, as in, they didn't have any backstory planned when they made Rogue One and they are just pulling random stories out of their ass to manufacture more books.
That's actually not true at all. Thrawns novel was both written in conjunction with his arc in SW Rebels and was planned as far back as 2014. This stuff has such an autistic amount of thought put into it it's embarrassing.
The original six films and the 2003 clone wars cartoon are the only real Star Wars canon.
>shit for plebs that csnt stand on its own
bravo. disneykuk. hantavirus is eating your brain. stop huffing mouseshit pleb
The quality is evidence enough of that. Unlike the EU, it's all soulless, boring, poorly written trash. Absolutely no heart or love put into any of it.
No it wasn't and that character is totally ruined by that shit book and Rebels.
>2003 clone wars
>not 2008 clone wars
Opinion discarded.
Yes it was. Watch the Rebels 2016 SWC pannel
The book was written by the original author. I don't know what else you are expecting.
>listen to blatant marketing speech and lies that aren't backed up in the slightest by the severely lacking quality of the books which are nothing more than a product rather than actual stories like the EU was
>implying a Zahn didn't just write that book because they paid him a lot and knew they'd ruin his character with or without him so just tried to mitigate damage to his legacy as best as he could
Shut the fuck up shill.
You simply are ignorant
>the 2008 cartoon is far superior to the 2003 cartoon
No. Unlike you I'm a real Star Wars fan and clearly not a mindless 15 year old who doesn't have any concept of the appalling drop in quality that has happened with the books under Disney because you never read the good stuff to begin with.
Mad.
A real Star Wars fan would have not bothered to see Rogue One after the utter disappointment that was TFA.
Thrawn was actually pretty great. First Star Wars book i've read since The Unifying Force. It's definitely Zahn back to his peak.
I thought it was fantastic. I have been waiting for a solid political thriller in the new canon after being disappointed by pic related, and it scratched that itch perfectly.
Have you read any real books?
Yea of course. Most of the SW books I just listen to in audiobook form when im at work. It passes the time
>Disney resets the EU because it's all retarded gay fanfic
>Turns out they're not that much better at making movies than Lucas
>Have to resort to MORE gay fanfic so that their movies will make sense

At least this time none of it contridicts itself. If they deserve credit for anything it's that. Fuck the EU
The fact that you need to read a novel in order to understand characters or anything from the movie instantly makes it shit
(its different obviously its its a book to film adaptatoin)
stop buying these fucking books, muh handcannon is just an excuse for shitty writing
>it's different if it's a book to film adaptation
no it's not
if I need ANYTHING other than the movie itself to understand what happens in a movie, it's garbage
They already have contradicted themselves and all of it is much, much weaker and shittier than the EU. kys
>They have already contridicted themselves
Source?
It's backstory.
You don't NEED it to read it to understand it.
It gives insight to some motives behind Galen, Krennic, and Tarkin.
Jyn was still a baby and a toddler in Catalyst.
If you WANT to know about Jyn's past then you can read the book.
None of it necessary.
Kek. Didn't think so.
>having to read a book, to understand a piece of a trilogy, who's main medium has been movies, but sucks so much that in needs a book to make us care about the plot
how about no. how about making a movie decent enough that is doesn't need outside material to fix plot holes or give characterization
Did you have trouble understanding the movie or something?
This
This.
Felicity is a cute, however. I will give Disney Wars that much.
>please buy our new shitty canon goy
unironically kill yourself shill
Story>mindless action.
>stories can only be communicated audibly
>television and film aren't visual mediums
>implying the 2003 cartoon didn't have better stories than "lol frog droid squad," and "lol fan service," and "lol quips and blatant references to the movies"
You have to be 18 to visit this site Disney shill
This is a million times better than any shit Filoni pinched out. youtube.com
That's a good book either way. I didn't even see rogue one
You should watch it. It's probably the second best Star Wars film
Which book, Jyn getting laid?
are you retarded?
You implied the movie was hard to understand without reading the book.
Disney employees getting desperate here.
>b-buy our products
Nobody gives a shit anymore OP. You'll have more chance on reddit maybe.
Why even bother responding to the thread if you think it's a shill?
Hide thread and kill yourself.
That looks awful lmao
