Whoa. That was my first experience with VR or augmented reality or whatever the hell that was and it was awesome. Tip: Open the embed in the YouTube app on your phone and position your phone to landscape.

Glad you posted this. I didnt see the 360 video at first.

Mr robot did a few VR shorts for Oculus that were pretty cool.

Done right the VR stuff is awesome. Done poorly, it is terrible

Have y'all tried cardboard? They are really cool for 360 videos.

Have not. Did you just buy the cheap viewer (sub $10)?

I got a free Star Wars one when Google was doing that promo for TFA. (Got R2-D2)

Coincidentally was just using it last night to watch this. It's pretty awesome.

This might end up being the star wars movie I always wanted.

One thing I loved about rogue one that this movie seems to get is that it shows how horrible life under the republic would have been.

I never really got the impression in the OT of just how bad the day to day life would have been under the empire.

Isn't the empire ruling in both RO and HS?
I was beginning to wonder if I was just missing the joke or something. You never know if this guy is trolling, joking or serious.

Depends on which ghola he is that day.

Getting dangerously close to showing too much now, but damn if this doesn't look fun.

ESB-esque even.

If you have a galaxy phone you can pick up the gear VR sets pretty damn cheap.

Being the antisocial that I am, when I get stuck on a 2+hr flight in coach, I use my VR headset to watch movies. I look like a complete dork but, you know what? If you can't see the seat back three inches from your face, it isn't three inches from your face.

Remember the months upon months of everyone insisting this was a dumb idea and that it wasn't going to make any money? Good times.

Noticed that the shot of the Falcon racing away from the planet had the old "notch nose" configuration just like we usually see the ship.

No... and nobody is saying that or predicting that. It doesn't have to outperform the #1 domestic movie of all-time to be a success. that's asinine.

My only point was there were a lot of naysayers on this thread for the last year+ and most have come around based on previews, interviews, advanced ticket sales, etc.

I STILL wish Disney would take some risks and tell stories NOT related in any way to the Skywalker saga, but I am a lot more positive on this movie yhan I was.

Gotta crawl before you can walk.

Remember Rogue One was considered a pretty big risk at the time. No one new if a spin off story for Star Wars that didn't have any of the main characters (for the most part) from the main films.

Aren't they planning on making some films now that have zero tie ins to the Skywalker saga?

I call this the Outdoors Board Effect. I used to post there years ago but just gave up on even reading it because of this phenomenon.

For example, if someone started a thread about installing a lift kit in their truck, within 10 posts min someone is going jump in and make sure everyone knows how stupid they are for wanting to lift their truck.

What purpose does this posting style serve? I really don't know. I guess it's the same reason that some people endlessly post opinions and useless information on Facebook, that adds no value and literally no one cares about.
