I don't understand where the "disrespectful" party is coming from. It was a recreation of the character Tarkin, not literally ressurecting Peter Cushing. By that logic the clone wars/rebels CGI models of Tarkin are a disrespect as well. |

So it's January which means I finally saw the movie, just today in fact. I always wait to January to see Star Wars movies, although suprisingly my theater was still fairly filled, at least 75% of the seats from what I could tell were taken. I guess people do similar to me.
I liked the movie overall, although I agree somewhere at the end of the first act and the middle it seemed to drag quite a bit. Mostly the whole prison scenes and then scenes on the planet with the rain up until her father appeared. I'm also surprised I somehow managed to avoid spoilers of all the characters fates in the movie after all this time. I certainly didn't expect the outcome we got. This was a dark movie. It's the first Star Wars film I feel isn't for kids. All the other Star Wars films are uplifting, comedic, and have fun and iconic characters made for action figures and comic books. This was a gritty war movie with characters purposely toned down and "bland" but it worked well. I liked the female lead too. I think the space battles were the best of any of the movies. Rather exciting. |

There's a difference between bringing the character back and bringing the actor, the human being, back. |

Yeah I dunno, I don’t feel the same way. If they had him dancing in an ad for vacuum cleaners or something, that would be different, but I thought it was as tastefully done as it could be. No worse than cutting in old footage anyway, so I think it’s the context and intent more than the technology. For a contrast sake, take Bruce Lee – the CGI face replacement they did for that whisky commercial was over the line in my opinion, because if he were alive, I don’t think he’d do it. But it’s no worse than what they did in Game of Death in the 70s, with more rudimentary technology.

Its a shame none of the side characters, besides the robot, were memorable. It would have been a better movie if we were made to care more when people died.

If I have to google him to know who he is then no he wasn't memorable. Having a gimmick doesn't make something memorable in fact I found him rather annoying.

I liked the two husbands. They were great.
Also the pilot. Oh and Forrest Whitaker's character. And I'm always in the mood to see Hannibal act.

Agreed.
I thought Jyn's arc was brilliant. Even though it was pretty cliche to kill off Galen, the fact that her father restored her faith and inspired her after so many years apart was deep. I also thought Captain Andor was badass. And they tied in a freaking (formerly) one-off TCW character. That's awesome. Yes, because one little man had a short attention span means he wasn't memorable. |

I agree with everyone the character development SUCKED in Rouge one didn't really care about anone once they died. I barley knew any of the names of the other characters besides Jyn Sau gurerra and the robot
I did enjoy the blind asian dude and the asian samoan guy with the big gun but shame they never mentioned there names in the movie

If you were actually paying attention, they did say their names. The blind guy was Chirrut and his friend was Baze.

I don't really remember any of their names either. I just known them as, "blind Asian guy," "other Asian guy with long hair," "scruffy looking guy with irish accent," "other guy with black hair who was with Jyn most of the movie," "the robot," and "the black guy who used a breathing thing and sounded like Darth Vader."
I don't even know what the name of the main villain general in the white suit was either. |

I think he's talking about the Imperial pilot dude.
Anyway, I also didn't know anyone's names, outside of Jyn's. I guess you're supposed to buy the toys and learn them that way. The names are intentionally weird-sounding, and so unless you know them ahead of time, anytime someone says his name it just sounds like mumbo-jumbo. |
