That's why I said replace nameless fodder he killed with named fodder not teleport Vader on the planet surface and have him kill people there

Was more a reply to Tom and Vader killing the entire cast. Don't know how it would've made sense to make him kill someone from the main cast. The point was to show prime Vader against fodder etc. I think killing a main character from the movie in such a scene would've taken away from Vader or the emotion of a death for a character.

Just imagine if we got prequels with this kind of Vader.

His pun though rofl

Well yeah it would have happened away from the beach, maybe having made it up to the surface they start celebrating too soon and get boarded out of their nuts.

Vader should get his own gritty 18 rated prequel.

I want to see more of main man Jesus Kenobi

ROGUE ONE:: My thoughts on the movie:

Excellent characters, it felt incredibly sad to see them all go out like that and it really brings the rebellion's cause more emphasis. They did a great job in making us all sympathize with the rebellion (if we didn't already ffs, rebellions are built on hope), and to me, it really strengthened "a new hope".

Main man Hannibal as the architect of the death star ffs

Now, the filmmakers also showed the rebellion in a different light. Like Cassian, who had murdered that person during the intelligence exchange and was going to assassinate Hannibal (Erso)... so then we he gets killed off, you don't feel as strongly because maybe he is not good. What bothers me is Jyn Erso's character was basically pure, she had not bad qualities so it was watching a complete innocent die which is more devastating

Really? Cassian killing that guy in the start was an obvious Han Solo homage. Only made him a more layered character in my opinion. Was good to see a darker side of the rebellion. Loved his character.

by Luca Fri Dec 23, 2016 5:19 pm

Spoiler:: Oh, I agree with that... but it didn't make my sympathize with his death as much because he had a darker past but I really enjoyed that side of the rebellion also

I kinda thought the droid killing that first guard while trying to lock down the control room near the end of the movie was another Han homage. The way he turned around and shot the guy, the posture he stood in....definitely Han-like.

Carrie Fisher is reported to have suffered a heart attack while on board a plane.

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Dec 23, 2016 10:25 pm

Too soon for a kylo ren joke?

by RealGunner Fri Dec 23, 2016 10:28 pm

I was thinking another CGI joke but it's too soon for both

In all seriousness, hope she recovers asap. Can't have 2016 take away another.

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Dec 23, 2016 10:30 pm

Shit timing, i'd hate my heart if it RKO'd me right next to Christmas.

She must be a good age now, at least she'll have the best of medical help.

by Freeza Fri Dec 23, 2016 10:48 pm

She's done more coke than all of the characters in Martin Scorsese's filmography combined. Don't know how her heart could take it.

Hope she pulls through. She's a treasure as a person.

The Force is with her. She is one with the Force Proud

by Guest Sat Dec 24, 2016 2:59 am

If the reports about her not breathing for 10 minutes is true then she's in big trouble.

Horrific news. Hoping for the best.

by M99 Sat Dec 24, 2016 5:03 am

Hoping for the best. Good to she is in stable condition.

by M99 Sat Dec 24, 2016 5:20 am

Carrie Fisher is in ICU, not stable, says brother.

He also addressed an earlier comment attributed to him, in which he was alleged to have said his sister was in “stable condition.” “I don’t know where they got that word from. That is absolutely not even close to the truth. We don’t know. We hope for the best. We certainly do not know her condition, that’s why she is in ICU. I’m sure everyone wants to speculate but now is not the time for that.”

by RealGunner Sat Dec 24, 2016 11:26 pm

I am not sure we have anyone old enough to watch episode 5 in cinema here but I can't imagine how the reaction must have been to the Luke and Vader twist hmm

6/10

Star Wars – Official Canon Thread. - RIP Carrie Fisher - Page 3 Rsz_2mxh8d9d

Didn't expect much from a standalone movie but it was pretty meh. Last act was obviously top notch.

by CBarca Tue Dec 27, 2016 2:57 am

8/10 really good.

Close between ep 7 and this one tbh. The last act is absolutely insane though.

Really enjoyed it.

She's dead.
