IG-88 also makes a hell of a latte... or draft... or something.

A) Chopper’s a sociopathic (can droids be sociopaths? Chopper proves so, I guess) murderer who masquerades as an adorable ally to the Rebels. I fully expect him to be revealed to be Snoke.

Winner winner chicken dinner! If I cared a whit about continuity, I wouldnt be a Doctor Who fan. I just want a good story with good characters and a fun time. Who cares if Tusken Raider #4 said “Ruuungh! HUUUNGA!” instead of “UUUUrrrrhHHHH! UUUUrrrrhHHHH!”

The predestination of the character is a counter message to the original film, that we make our own destiny and anyone can succeed if they believe in themselves. It misses the point and is glaring.

Thanks for the great article. I saw the original Star Wars as a teenager in 1977 before there was even an inkling of a sequel, let alone a prequel, in any ones mind. It was a stand alone film and my point isn’t to emphasize my age but that how I viewed that original film is pretty much how any film in this franchise…

Oh sure, toy sales are the reason we get new stuff, but my point is that they actually gave a rationale for why the new stuff in-universe and why never saw them in the OT.

Actually, there is a good reason why we never saw the new ships in Rogue One - all those ships were made for situation that didn’t come up in the OT. We never saw the AT-CT because it was made specifically to transport construction material. The new Tie are made to patrol above Imperial ground-based military…

I just got their titles

I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to fucking feast on the white tears if/when that happens

The haircut is ok, it makes him look less like Space Aladdin like he was since the first episode.

I see Ezra has begun his Michael Corleone phase. More proof he's being swayed to the Dark Side?

io9 didn’t like BvS but liked Ghostbusters?! You must be in the pocket of Big Feminism! *Mancotts the website which is like a boycott but manlier*

Because it’s the job of every prequel to give you answers to questions you didn’t care about, like how taxation on galactic trade routes led to the rise of the Empire, and how Wolverine got that jacket he wore in X-men, and look at that little tyke... he’s the guy that’s in the background of the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Honestly, I just want the Clone Wars/Rebels people to go back and make animated versions.

They seem like they’re doing such a great job with this movie that I think they should let Gareth Edwards and his team go back and remake the prequels to get them to the point where they’re actually watchable.

I’m sorry, the first trailer pretty much confirmed Vader for me. That’s the motherfucking Devastator. Vader is in it.

Because the prequels sucked. Worse, they completely ignored everything that made Star Wars work. The characters. The mystery. The hints of a larger universe. A universe that looks lived-in. The prequels made everything look brand new, but also small. Every character was connected to the original trilogy, even where it…

I am 100% in favor of shipping libertarians into space. Where do I invest my meager fortune?
