(FLOSI'S Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

[ZE_501]

Rogue One is AMAZING!

Finally, tonight's the night!

I've managed to stay spoiler-free somehow -- except for some minor lines and phrases dropped by careless forum members, who were all loose-y and goose-y with the spoilers. Nothing too serious and I'm on the board at my own risk post-opening anyway.

Looking forward to finally seeing some OT-era action! Staff Xmas party first so I may get there half-cut.

Loved, loved, loved R1. Already saw it twice.

Same! I'm trying to go see it again sometime before Wednesday.

For those that have seen the 3D version of RO, is it worth it? I'm going again this week and am wondering if the 3D is worth it.

The first 2/3 of the movie it was pretty useless. The last part had a few great 3D parts but I wouldn't say it's worth it on a second viewing.

The battle scenes at the end were awesome in 3D, but the rest of the movie didn't really benefit from it.

To me, 3D is just a gimmick meant to shoot up tickets prices. Been to one showing in 3D and left midway thru the movie. I just can't stand it. had to travel 120kms to find a 2D showing near me... which prevent me to attend another one until theaters in my area decide to downgrade to 2D in the coming weeks.

My first showing of TFA was in 3D and the 3D moments in that were so subtle that there was pretty much no difference. I went to see this one in 2D for that reason. I don't even enjoy 3D anyway.

I figured the final act might look good in 3D, but that's not enough for me to watch the whole thing in 3D.

I agree. Never been a fan of 3D. Personally, I just don't think the tech is fully there yet.

 

[chrisstbh]

Seeing the giant spiders falling and jumping at the screen in the Hobbit part 2 ruined 3D for me.

 

[Aliaz]

Theaters near me only show it in 3D the first days. My next viewing will be 2D. :yes

Rouge One was great. Easily my favorite modern SW. Not real complaints. Cool few cameos. None of the modern ones will ever surpass the originals mostly because so much nostalgia and love for those but Rouge one came really close.


As for 3d I ah email only seen one move that was amazing in 3d. Dr Strange that was a movie made for 3d when they start to bend the world.

 

[chrisstbh]

The cameos were cool but the

Spoiler:

3PO & R2

cameo felt very forced and was quite obnoxious in my opinion.

 

[DCFett]

Spoiler:

I don't know if I'd say that. In all the commotion, it was a welcome surprise for em to be in the mix of things. I was quite wondering where they were. Then bam over there, there they were with lines and everything.

Spoiler:

I dunno, it would have been better if they were on the ship with Leia at the end. Much more fitting. The rebel with the plans sprinting past them and 3PO acting all offended or something

Spoiler:

I expected them at the end for sure. Even if just in the background.

 

[slynger]

Spoiler:

So was the only Rebels connection the spaceship in the final act that we've seen in the Leia episodes during Season 2? I din't notice anything else.

Spoiler:

Chopper was in one of the hangar scenes on Yavin. And they called for General (?) Syndulla on the PA. And the Ghost was in the battle aswell

Very cool. Didn't even see that. Going to have to keep an eye out next time.

Any theaters have exclusive rogue items for sale?
I got an awesome hoodie before TFA
I said hoodie

If you buy a ticket from Atom Tickets, you can buy an exclusive T-shirt, hoodie, or collector's ticket (which is limited to 500, but costs $20)

Yeah, one major cringeworthy part for me... one line of the movie... ugh.
Oddly enough the "I rebel" line wasn't in the movie I noticed.

Ya, Ira Bell wasn't in the film...

Pretty cool article about all he shots from the trailers that weren't in the final movie.

Nice. I was hoping to find something like that.

Catalyst is great. It'll make the film better, at least in my opinion.

I need to read (rather, listen) to that...

For those that have seen the 3D version of RO, is it worth it? I'm going again this week and am wondering if the 3D is worth it.

Like others have stated, the 3D doesn't get good until Scarif. I do believe the 3D on the IMAX screen was better than Real3D, but I can't really recommend this in 3D. Until the BD comes out, of course. 3D always looks better at home... TFA sure does!!!

I agree. But it didn't bother me, the way they did it.

Aliaz listed some, but I'll elaborate.

Spoiler:

Chopper is seen and heard in the upper left corner right when a rebel runs and tells Mon Mothma about the rebels attacking Scarif. The Ghost can be seen in the upper left corner, parked on the rebel base, and at least 3 times in space during the battle above the Scarif shield gate. And General Syndulla is called to the briefing room twice at the rebel base on Yavin 4...

I saw it 3 times so far. Real3D on Thursday night, 2D on Friday night, and IMAX 3D today. Each time, I saw something new. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I liked it better than TFA. I do like TFA, but it didn't meet my expectations, and had some hokey moments. Rogue One flowed better. It had no hokey moments IMO, and was non-stop excitement. It met or exceeded my expectations. I cannot imagine any of the other standalone films being this good.
The only thing that bothered me, and I am intentionally not spoiler tagging this, is the Rogue One logo at the beginning of the film. They didn't use the logo from the posters. They made a very generic looking title. There was nothing Star Wars looking about it. I didn't like that at all...
