Dropped the old mans car off for a service this morning so I'm off to see Rogue One by myself to kill some time haha. Hoping this is good...
Oh yeah forgot you haven't seen it yet.

As I told Loonerty, when jod23 and I agree on something it means we're right. :D

I was going to go at some point this week. Seemed as good a time as any while I wait to pick the car up haha.

Without spoiling too much, does Leia play a role in this film at all?

Yesterday was ******* hot. Got home just after 5 and getting out of the car it felt like stepping into an oven. Warm night too.

Without the sun the humidity is actually OK.

Soooooo, Rogue One was alright. If you compare it to the movies, it fails miserably. If you judge it for what it is, it was decent.

The movie was full of cheese (Vader and the choking line - **** off) which sucks but is very Disney so was always going to be there.

I liked the female lead more in this one than Rey or whatever her name is.

The CGI was great for one of the characters (Tarkin) but really bad for the other one.

Surprised you thought it failed miserably, thought it was brilliant and much more original than anything we've seen in a long time.

Vader has always had those sorts of lines, (Empire Strikes Back he invites han to have lunch with them with a heavy dose of sarcasm, in a new hope interrogating the officer at the start) but the pun itself was a bit much.

Funny you say that about the cgi I thought Tarkins was horrible and the other one near perfect.

Same. Thought Tarkin was a little out in the speech and lip movement
The eyes were weird too. But it's crazy, speaking to others they think both were crap, both were brilliant, etc. Funny how the eye works.

My girlfriends brother didn't even realise tarkin was cgi.

Oh it was definitely original. I just don't think it can be compared to the movies. No sith, no Jedi etc etc. It's a story for the extras in the universe. Which is fine, but that's why I don't think it can be compared to the movies. As a stand alone, I thought it was pretty good.

I think it was more the pun. They did such a good job of making him bad ass and then he comes out with puns? Haha come on!

I might need to rewatch but didn't even think he was CGI until I listened to a podcast on the way home (although it obviously makes sense now haha). Thought the other one looked obviously fake. Think either way, the industry still has some work to do with life size CGI.

If you were unaware of the previous films and watched this as the first one then you probably wouldn't. I daresay most would have known it was given the actor that played Tarkin would have died between now and ANH.
