I do not envy these people. It’s raw and sensitve as hell and no matter what choice they make it’ll be the wrong one to a number of people.

Yep, came here to comment about the whole chicken recipe. Pressure cooking is not the way to cook a whole chicken. Roasting is. You can roast a whole butterflied chicken in a cast iron pot in about the same time that you could make it in a pressure cooker, and it will be infinitely better.

It’s explained in the movie. Neither Jedha nor Scarif is completely blown up, but specific targets are destroyed. The test on Jedha is a lower-power beam (“single-reactor ignition” is the phrasing I believe they use). Scarif is hit with the same type of beam. The station is not used for a full-power test until…

I keep seeing comments online complaining about the beginning of the film being “confusing” but I didn’t have any trouble following it. I got that there were different rebel factions that weren’t all working together (yet). And I knew Galen Erso’s role would be made clear later on.

It made him morally grey and threw everything he did afterward into question. Wondering what his real motivations were and who he was going to lie to or betray. Which almost gives him an actual character arc.

Schneider was on One Day At a Time. TCFC had Ted Knight (Judge Smails!) and Jim J. Bullock.

I think that might have been the point. “Take off all your pads, use Tampax instead.” Or something like that, I’m a dude, what do I know?

In the last picture you can see him checking his phone to see if he has enough battery left to throw it.

I actually felt that Vader (who was a costume voiced by the same guy who voiced him in the original) came across as more of a fake Vader than CGI Tarkin.

Something I notice is that they never use the word “Mustafar” neither in the film or the interviews about the castle. Is there a reason for that? Are they afraid of making the prequels too much of an essential aspect of the canon so implying that it’s Mustafar for those who like the prequels but not referencing it…

!!!

I actually thought the entire character was CG because the body movements bothered me more than the face. Now that I know it was an actual person on set that makes it even more strange.. either the guy didn’t know how to “act natural”, or was too busy trying to emulate Peter Cushing’s movements from A New Hope that it…

Typical alt-sith remark.

I am not buying their excuse to not include a crawl. All of the video games made have included a crawl and those tie even less into the overall universe than this movie.

The beginning of the first act, between Saw retrieving Jyn, and Jyn and Cassian leaving Yavin, is very badly cut together. The title cards of location names (which have NO place in a Star Wars movie) only highlight how bad the editing is.

Oh good point; I was just assuming they were taking the stamped set.

Not true, we archive and store in their native cad format, which can be very large. Now we use 4-D Building Information Modeling software for architectural models which can have very large file sizes. I suspect the Empire would have used something at least as sophisticated. They had an extremely aggressive…

You’re thinking regular Earth-blueprints, these are Empire blueprints, which are much more dense.

I wonder if it was LEED-certified.

True that.
