My favorite part was the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 trailer

Outside of Tarkin, Organa, Mahn Mathma, and Vader--they were all basically new. I'm so close to going down a wormhole!

Two X-Wing pilots that bit it in Episode IV were CGI.

I came out of Rogue One feeling like I had hoped to feel after The Force Awakens. Rogue One has a more 'authentic feel' to it and it dovetails nicely into the start of Episode 4.

Yep, Rogue One did not disappoint. Best Star Wars movie since ESB.

It was a bit slow in the beginning and there were a few too many AHN characters, i.e the "you just watch yourself" guy. It would have also been better if the C3PO and R2D2 cameos were just hallway shots on Tantive IV without the whiny C3PO dialog.

That Vader corridor scene - WOW. Brilliant addition.

And you know it's good science fiction when the most moving death scene is a droid.

So many great moments showing the gritty side of the rebellion.

I will probably hate Episode VIII next year as much as I did Episode VII but here's looking forward to the next Anthology film in 2018.

Well I guess I'm alone here, but I thought Rogue One was a disappointment.

Understand bridging the episodes, and everyone dies getting the information to the right folks. The Vadar scene at the end was terrific. It was a good bridge, and enjoyable, but I did not go "Wow".

One of the weakest points of the movie is the score. First Star Wars movie not scored by John Williams and it's very noticeable.

Saw it with the kids yesterday. Fantastic movie. I love the way it leads perfectly into Episode 4. Loved everything about it, no complaints.
