One of the LEGO Droid Tales episodes sums it up best: When describing the Clone Wars, 3PO says something along the lines of, "Master Yoda was 900 years old when he died, but at the time of the Clone Wars, he was only 876."Duncan Idaho said:
For a character that was supposed to hundreds of years old, I was always amazed at how much he aged in 19 years

I've always wondered why more filmmakers don't do this. I have no problem with scenes from the trailer not being in the movie, so long as they don't purposely deceive.dave94 said:
Chris Weitz (co-screenwriter) was just on the Ticket and said the shot with the TIE fighter confronting Jyn was created just for the trailer.
This was exactly the same as the tentacle creature from Force Awakens. No point to it.KidDoc said:
The tentacle mind reading thing seemed dumb and had virtually no bearing on the story. Could easily have been cut.

Just got back from my 8:00 showing...
Loved this movie. Loved the fact that they let everybody die. The tie in to episode 4 was superb...
...but it does bother me that the ship with Princess Leia was in a battle when they received transmission. Leia's pretended innocence when she confronts Darth Vader in episode IV seems pretty silly when Darth Vader watched her ship sail away with the plans. Definitely not on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.
Budget, not to mention that most directors don't have much control over their trailers.GiveEmHellBill said:I've always wondered why more filmmakers don't do this. I have no problem with scenes from the trailer not being in the movie, so long as they don't purposely deceive.dave94 said:

This is exactly the point of the movie... Star Wars is bigger than the Skywalkers and SolosPhilo B 93 said:
The more I think about the movie, the less impressed I am with it as a Star Wars movie.
It was a good war movie that takes place in space, I assume a long time ago in a galaxy far away. Yes, Darth Vader had a mostly non-necessary part. C3PO and R2D2 had a total cameo. There were X-wing fighters and the Death Star. But for 7 movies, thousands of toys, a few animated series, hundreds of books, and one Christmas Special, Star Wars is about this:
1. The Skywalkers,
2. Han Solo,
3. Jedi Knights / the Force / Light Sabers
For all intents and purposes (intensive purposes for a few of you), Rogue One had none of those. The script would have been better used on a Star Trek or Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I felt bad for all the kids in the audience. The first 90 minutes is a planet hopping set up with unfamiliar faces, spies, refugees, military plans, space politics, and a bunch of other stuff that 10 year olds don't care about.
I thought TFA was a much better movie, but hey... I'm a Star Wars purist.

It was a good movie and I enjoyed it. In the long run, with more of these movies the original Star Wars will lose its special place in history as the brand gets diluted. I don't have a problem with that, but it should be noted.
This doesn't bother me like others. Stuff like this happens all the time in war and politics where both parties knew what happened and what's really going on but you play the political theater game and deny the obvious.tamuangry said:

Or....with more of these movies we can FORGET that Ep. 1-3 ever existed and replace them with decent (really good) ones instead.
Until recently Ep. 1-3 represented HALF of the known SW universe (on film) which is what most people get.
Now, thank god, we have TFA and RO and soon Ep. 8 so that those represent a middle third or higher and push Ep. 1-3 to the forgotten wasteland of the bottom third.
I don't really understand how it would make SW and ESB less special anyway or dilute the brand - it brings more fans to it and grows the brand and grows the legacy. But whatever.
And this was you after it.YellowPot_97 said:

Nothing harmed the brand more than the prequel Saga entries. Rogue One strengthened the brand more than any of then and TFA.Philo B 93 said:SpreadsheetAg said:This is exactly the point of the movie... Star Wars is bigger than the Skywalkers and SolosPhilo B 93 said:

A New Hope will always be a landmark film for a number of reasons.
