Booked my tickets today.
After a false start where I managed to book a 3am showing (!), I cancelled and rebooked for 18/12 at 12.45pm. Got one of my favourite aisle seats at BFI IMAX too. 2D...but I actually prefer that, not interested in 3D at all. Shades of deja vu for The Force Awakens this time last year...I guess if they continue this pattern this may become a regular December thing. |

Nah, Darth Vader in 3D is worth it alone. You can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance !

When I went to watch The Force Awakens at midnight in 3D, I made a really good friend who was like a Star Wars superfan boy.. he was actually screeching like a little girl as the opening scenes aired saying he's waited so many years for this and how it's history etc !!
I was sitting next to him and we had a good debate and enjoyed it together. We was total strangers but had so much fun !

And I already prefer Jyn to Reys plummyness!
![]() I don't really understand the people who are clamouring for this film because it is something "original". I am looking forward to it, but I can't help wonder whether it was a story we actually needed. Sometimes, these things are best left to the imagination. Like the prequels. |

What a swizz, the clip on the Disney show was nothing but the previously seen stuff plus a couple of seconds here and there, mainly of what happens after that walker 'head' is shot.

At last, an actual scene from the film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiiCkWEavI0
And a one hour Q&A session that was live on twitter yesterday - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2VEuSGOCWM |

And I thought fan theories were daft...
https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...to-cap-success She seems to seriously think Disney ordered reshoots because Edwards' version was "too good".😂 |

The press were only shown 28 minutes of it and early reviews of this sort of film are historically meaningless. (The Dark Knight Rises was being speculated about as a best picture Oscar winner on twitter the week prior to it's release.)

Well, what I think she is trying to say is not that, but that Disney want their flagship product in the franchise to be the Episodes (7, 8 and 9) and that Rogue One may draw attention away from that if fans' interest in the spin-offs is greater.

I thought the whole point of the anthology films was to be different from the official "episodes"?
As for that article, from one angle it might be implying that Episode VIII has problems. |

I think they will be. But I got from the article that Disney might want the focus to be on the core Episodes as the backbone of the franchise, and that Rogue One might steer fans' attention away from that.

I'd have thought the wider, general audience's response to these offshoots would be more an issue for Disney.

Disney Star Wars is not going to be a hotbed of creativity. It's going to be safe.
That means derivative. |

I really wouldn't pay any heed to that article. It says "it is set in roughly the same universe as episodes one to seven, but features none of the familiar characters". Well who's Darth Vader then? It's also speculated that Tarkin is in it too, and probably Princess Leia.

Probably, isn't Rogue One effectively episode 3.5?

There's potential for a pretty big spoiler in that video if you look closely.

Apparently there will be no opening crawl which I am a little bit gutted about!
