Anyone else seen it yet? For me it was amazing. Had a brilliant feel, engaging, and makes the events of Episode IV much more intense. Spoiler stuff behind the spoiler tag I am still slightly shocked at how brutal it was. A serious well done to the director and writers for being willing to go as far as they did. Really highlights just how risky it was, and how the rebels in Ep.IV are in a massively tight spot. Vader's appearance was also done perfectly. Not enough to overshadow everything else, but enough to highlight him as a serious bad guy to be feared. Tarkin's CGI was a bit iffy, but didn't detract that much from it.

Quick joke on this - Guy#1 - Hey, It would be really cool is we all go in costume for the Rogue One midnight show! You in? Guy#2 - Well, OK. I'll bring my kid too, so I guess I will get a costume for him too. Guy#1 - Awesome! See you and your kid tonight! Later that night, a few minutes before going in the theater... Guy#1 - You Rebel scu.... WHAT! NO! GUUUUYSSS!!! Guy#2 - Omelette du fromage! Kid - ...just kill me now...https://i.reddituploads.com/dbf1bcfa9c21...9602fd022f76eef

WTF?? They look like they mistook the mall for a scifi convention.

Aren't they called AT-CTs? There are some differences such as weaponry from the old...er, future AT-ATs.

Just get back from the theater, I saw it with the same groupe of people with which I saw Episode VII last year. At the time our feelings were mixed, but this time everyone agreed*, it wasn't good at all. Episode IV Death Star Attack still shivers me, but here, while there are numerous combat scenes, in most of them I felt nothing but boredom. John William music is greatly missed. Actors didn't convinced me and there are a couple of (quite huge)incoherences.
(*well, it receive mostly positive reviews in press here in France)

What? A French critic that thought the movie was #%&*$#? Checks out. Just joking, thanks for the input... I have also seen other reviews that say the movie is "too much by the numbers'. Can't wait to see for myself.

John Williams didn't do the music for this one? Because this is not STAR WARS: Subtitle This is Title: A STAR WARS' STORY Which means it is a different copyright altogether...and therefore Mr. Williams' music cannot be used - only a rendition of it.

I loved it... this is not "Star Wars".
This is a WAR MOVIE... in "star wars land".
One kid was crying at the end.
But I loved it.
Edit: I should point out that I was kinda lukewarm (no pun intended) over "Force Awakens"... nothing in it was bad, some of it quite good, but overall it didn't WOW me or blow me away. Rogue on the other hand, loved it all... well the one guy with heavy accent was slightly clumsy with dialogue, but I was ok with that too.
One thing Rogue really highlights is that wars cost lives. The body count is high in this.

I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as TFA or ESB. Better than the prequels. Definitely more of a war movie as mentioned and it expands the universe nicely. Much darker picture of the rebellion, which was nice and took the Disney-fication fear out. Kind of dull the first 45 minutes. Will certainly buy it. The battle was awesome--something you can play through on SWBF dlc, from space to ground.

By the way... one of the characters is connected to the Clone Wars animated series. Watch the fist few episodes of season five to find out. Or, get spoiled: Saw Gerrera was a human male resistance fighter who, as a leading member of the Onderon rebels, fought against the Confederacy of Independent Systems on Onderon during the Clone Wars. He and his sister, Steela Gerrera, were instrumental in the rebel liberation of their homeworld during the Battle of Onderon. He later became a key member in the fight against the Galactic Empire and the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. His tactics against the Empire led him to be seen as an extremist, one whose notoriety was recognized by the Empire and, many years later, the New Republic. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Saw_Gerrera
