Heartland

Loved it...only two bad points.

Tha Leia CGI was terrible.

Saw Gerrera was incredibly annoying...(or just underdeveloped as a character.)

The Manager guy from Holby City was his body and voice double.

That's a good factoid

Quick spoiler.
The storm troopers still couldn't hit a barn door at 5 paces

One thing bugs me. The 2 guys who gave Luke grief in the cantina in ANH were in Jakku city.
They would have to have teleported out of there before it got vapourised to be able to make it to Tatooine.

The Super black armoured Storm Troopers were quite sharp shots.

We don't know how long C-3P0 and R2D2 were in the desert though, do we? It could've been a day or more before the Jawas picked them up, get transported, sold to Owen etc. This would allow plenty of time for them to leave Jakku and get to Tatooine.

The Death Troopers were awesome. Their menacing insect-like talk only added to it.

R2 & 3PO were on Leia's ship in ANH way after Jakku city got greased. IIRC they were in Rogue One in the entrance to the hangar at the rebel base.
I meant Ponda Baba & Dr. Evazan. Jyn bumped into them in the street in Jakku city & they snapped at her briefly minutes before Krennic turned the place into a large hole.

I get that. What I was saying was the timeline between C-3PO and R2D2 leaving the rebel ship, landing, getting picked up, being sold and then going to Mos Eisely is blurry. This would give plenty of time for the other two on Jakku to leave and travel to Tatooine? they could've been on their way as Jyn bumped into them?

Not really. At some point Leia needed to jam the death star plans into R2 before they jettisoned the escape pod to Tatooine & she never got them until the very end of Rogue One.
Aaaand...oh my gosh we are such nerds

Shall we call it a no-score draw?

you should both be chucked into this f**ker.


**EDIT: i beat the swearbot again (no BBcode in above expletive.).

I think I fixed it

I loved Rogue One, but the CGI Cushing didn't work so well for me. I found it much too distracting, perhaps because i watch Cushing in Hammer Horror movies every other week Would've preferred to see the actor who did the mo-cap performance rather than the layers of fakery they added to him to be honest. Or just give Tarkin's scheming to Vader so he'd have something more interesting to do than hang out in his castle and then beat some rebels up. And the Leia CGI was… unfortunate. Like that godawful Audrey Hepburn chocolate commercial - utterly lifeless, which, given the recent traumatic loss of Carrie Fisher is gonna make it difficult to watch the ending of Rogue One ever again if i'm honest. Seeing the Princess costume was enough. I thought the CGI face reveal was unnecessary, and wished they'd just gone with the voice and the hand receiving the plans - sometimes the old tricks are the best tricks! 7 out of 10.

I haven't seen it. I'm not an uber fan and am happy to wait for the DVD

However, I did feel compelled to say that I find the Audrey Hepburn chocolate commercial absolutely dreadful.

I finally watched it last night. I give it twelvety out of ten.

My initial feeling was that it was good. Better that Force Awakens. But it had several things that bugged me;

The CGI Moff and Leia.
The lack of character depth.
The first 20 or so minutes that seemed rushed.
Why was that mind eating blob in it?
Darth Vader using the light saber - quite unnecessary for a mighty Sith-lord against such low rebel scum?
Etc etc.

But I generally liked it. 4/5 I guess. The only character I actually cared for was Galen Erso...

Maybe he just felt like a scrap.

Aye, he's in the second wave boarding the Tantive IV at the start of ANH, he's clearly up for a bash.
