        I’m ok with all of the stupid stuff except for that scene. It’s Star Wars, it’s fine to be stupid, but “my name is Han and I’m here by myself” crossed the line.

            It’s worth a watch. Probably best to smoke a joint first, it’s not exactly a thinker. But it’s a fun movie, and a lot of Star Wars seems to be lacking in fun lately. But be prepared for the cringe in one particular scene.

        Honestly, if it was a sci-fi heist movie that was unrelated to Star Wars, I think people would have liked it a lot.

          I really do wonder what might have been if it released before, rather than after, The Last Jedi. I only ended up seeing it because I got to go to a free screening with the new chewie, and it was a fun movie. I think at least on par with the prequels, but certainly more felt more “star wars” then the Sequels.

        Couldn’t disagree more. You’d miss out on such bangers as “Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.”

          Fun fact; in the scene where K2SO slaps Cassian while pretending he’s a prisoner, Alan ad-libbed the “And there’s a fresh one…” line, and Diego Luna immediately cracked the fuck up during the take, but being a total pro he manages to (almost) hide it behind his hand while pretending he’s holding his face. Alan’s delivery was so good that they kept the take.

          Witty one liners are all well and good, but they don’t exactly make for a well paced or interesting story.

        Rogue One is how you do two acts of slow burn, followed by a third act that gives you payoff for your patience.

        The first season of Picard is exactly how not to do that.

          Slow burn is great when you have strong character writing and world building. These are things of which Rogue One has virtually none.
