  Huh … I, and I thought many, rather liked Rogue One. And Andor too (best New SW since … I don’t know … the original trilogy?)

    Rogue One and Andor are liked by people who don’t like Star Wars.

      The only Star Wars fans I've heard dislike Rogue One are the ones who only like Star Wars cause it's easy to complain about it and actually have people listen to you.

        The problems started with Gareth Edwards who so totally fucked everything up, he got removed and Tony Gilroy had to be brought in to salvage it.

        But, in re-writing and re-shooting, he fucked it up more.

        Andor introduced by killing a dude in cold blood? That was Gilroy. Andor being conflicted and unable to take the shot on a legitimate military target? That was Edwards.

        So you have this mish-mash of conflicting story beats, but most fans ignore it because YEEE-HAW! VADER HALLWAY FIGHT! Ignoring that he force grabs literally everyone and every thing in the hallway… except the one thing he’s there for, because the plans HAVE TO get away.

        So they show Vader watching the blockade runner fly away, contradicting the classic opening of Star Wars… which Gilroy would have known if he had been a fan.

         “I had no reverence for it whatsoever,” he said. “It doesn’t appeal to me, but I don’t think Rogue really is a Star Wars movie in many ways,” he added. “To me, it’s a Battle of Britain movie.”

      lol … no.

      Are we traitors of the empire now? Are you going to take us in to be punished for improper thoughts?

      You don’t have to like those things.

      But telling us what we do and don’t like?! That’s rubbish my friend.

        I’ve watched every movie, and every tv show. I’ve read every comic, and 60% of the books. And I love them. But you know why I’m not a Star Wars fan? I love Rogue One.

      When you say “Star Wars,” do you mean everything after the original trilogy? I just can’t imagine this comment making sense otherwise.
