Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

*TigerClaw* · 02-22-2016, 05:22 PM

Thought I start this thread so that we can discuss anything involving Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the 1st Star Wars spinoff movie, btw that's the official title of the spinoff movie.

Awesome. I know we only have rumors to go on at the moment.

I saw that news that Vader is in it and is supposed to be ruthless. I'm definitely looking forward to that!

Not interested in this at all. A theatrical Star Wars spin-off is not something I have ever thought was a good idea.

So you don't want to explore a rich and expansive universe in ways that were only avalible in books and comics before this?

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 02-22-2016, 06:35 PM

Not really, no. Star Wars to me has always been an episodic thing and the spin-offs take that away from the series.

Didn't Disney say they were doing a new Star Wars every year? Doesn't that cheapen the idea of a new Star Wars coming out as a big deal?

*CyberCubed* · 02-22-2016, 06:55 PM

They also have plans for a Yoda film, a young Han Solo spinoff, a Boba Fett film, and rumors about an Obi-wan film too.

We'll be getting annual Star Wars movies for the next 10 years most likely.

Lots of info on the movie has been released via a preview of the Visual Dictionary book.

So, does this confirm Vader's going to be in the movie? Oh boy, I can't wait.

That little creature on the far left--can any of the old EU fans tell me if that is a new species or not?

*CyberCubed* · 05-17-2016, 12:35 PM

Is it just me or does the main female look like someone else from some other movie?

*plastroncafe* · 05-17-2016, 12:50 PM

Jane Hawking, from "The Theory of Everything?"

What do you mean?

Like, she looks like a character that she's already played, or she looks like a different actress?

Every big movie like this has reshoots but, if true, 4 weeks is pretty extensive and means there is a definite problem with the movie. I hope it's not true but with Gareth Edwards directing this it doesn't surprise me.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 05-31-2016, 08:13 AM

Monsters, Godzilla 2014, Monsters: Dark Continent...

Huh. Not a huge filmography to boast about. I liked Godzilla...

*NinjaPug* · 05-31-2016, 08:21 AM

Wait, the pseudo tabloid Page Six is the one originating this report? And they weren't the first to break the Han Solo casting like that site claims - Deadline did that a month before Page Six reported it was a done deal.

*NinjaPug* · 06-22-2016, 08:35 AM

EW is about to drop some articles on the movie. Although it was the worst kept secret out there, Darth Vader is confirmed for the movie.

Is James Earl Jones going to be voicing Vader? I know he has dementia now, but I don't know to what extent it impairs him.

You're mistaken, David Prowse is struggling with dementia. As far as I know, Jones is in good health.

Ah! My mistake.

Prowse and George Lucas haven't had a good relationship in a long while.
