He wrote the script as well. Episode VIII is going to be a much more singular vision, which can only be a good thing, IMO.

Suddenly it has become winter and the resistance is hurriedly evacuating as the FO attacks....

Finn somehow is trapped in a cave with a snow beast....Po goes out in the dangerous temps to rescue him despite Leia's warnings. In the morning they find them inside a tauntaun for warmth.

Meanwhile Luke and Rey have landed/crashed on a swamp planet to begin her training and live in a hut.

Kylo summons bounty hunter Greedo Fett grandson of Boba...who works for Unkar Plutt on Jakku.

Finn and Po escape with Leia and Chewy and after hiding in an asteroid field that turns out to be a monster worm thing that eats metal ships...they go to a cloud city.

Luke trains Rey and makes her carry him on her shoulders, she sees images of Kylo in a cave.

They meet octogenarian Lando Calrissian....BB8 gets disassembled and Finn gets captured and frozen when Lando betrays them to Kylo Ren in exchange for a floating wheelchair with blasters.

Rey senses this and leaves her training early despite Luke shaking his head.

Greedo Fett leaves taking Finn's frozen body back to Jakku for a bounty from the Resistance.

Rey arrives at cloud city and falls into Kylo's trap...Kylo severs Reys hand and then reveals he is her brother!!!!

Rey is ejected beneath cloud city and Chewy and Leia rescue her with the Millennium Falcon, having escaped when Lando felt regret and helped them.

Later aboard a medical frigate Rey receives a mechanical hand.

Meanwhile Lando and Chewy set off to Jakku to rescue Finn from Unkar Plutt...and C3PO, BB8, R2D2, Leia, Po, Luke and Rey look out a window and wait.

Hope you are right, you know more about the innner workings out there than me.

I will say he also directed the Brothers Bloom, which i think is a very underrated movie. Really well made.

Uh, what? It's universally hated as the worst episode of the series.

One would think, but some consider it one of the best of the series.

I've been told many times (including on this board) that it was a work of genius and I just didn't get it. It's overrated because there's people out there that actually thought it was great.

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.

Then you might as well stop watching after episodes 8 and 9.

Yeah I've seen it, but forgot about it within about ten seconds of it ending. I even had to look up the title when you mentioned it before remembering. Meant for younger folks i suppose...but within that framework is was done well.

My parents went to see R1 today and their review was basically exactly as I expected:

• Slept through the first half
• Then Mom left
• Thumbs down. Too dark and gloomy for "old people like us" (they are in their mid-60s)

For reference last year my mother had to ask after seeing the movie if a) Han was Kylo's father, and b) did Kylo kill him

Honestly I don't know why they spend money on movie tickets

I asked my (HS and college aged) kids what they thought of Tarkin and Leah and they had no idea what I meant. I then told them that they were CGI and they had no idea. They thought they found actors who looked similar and used makeup or something.

I think that if they re-rendered Tarkin for a scene and inserted it into ANH then nobody would know the difference. The only reason people notice is that they know beforehand that they were CGI and pay extra attention to it.

hell...I thought they found a Tarkin look alike....I bought it. I was staring at him going "damn he really looks like Tarking thats amazing"....I didn't know anything going in about that either. I knew he was dead though so I knew it wasn't him. Leia though I was like....thats CGI.

I saw it in 2D btw....they say in 3D it is not very good.

My son saw it before me in 3D. Then I took all 3 of my kids (his 2nd time) to see in in 2D. I asked him today about the CGI and he had no idea. But he had no clue who Peter Cushing was, never mind that he has been dead for 20 years.

I didn't know it was CGI beforehand, but I suspected it when I watched it only because there is no way in hell they'd find somebody who looked THAT much like the original actors.

Rian Johnson is helming Episode VIII, not Abrams. Only thing that gives me hope.

I remembered this the other day, so I went and watched the Ozymandias episode of Breaking Bad again. I have a feeling episode VIII is going to be intense.

Best episode in the history of TV.
