SPOILER FREE Review of Rogue One
We ask:
Did we need this story?
How did it differ from Legends?
Discuss the upcoming Solo film- and weigh our excitement
Mark’s Mom seeing a Star Wars film since Return of the Jedi
Chirrut and Baze: the Gay question
Rebels connections
The theme of Trust
Diversity through accents
Is Jyn Erso a nod to Jan Ors?
‘Say you understand’ – Parenting in Star Wars
Themes in the film
Operation Fracture- from the Rebel Dossier by Jason Fry
Do characters have a hard time getting enough screen time when you have casts over 5 people strong?
Trailers showed scenes that never happened- the why – Cut footage and added footage Edwards filmed so it wouldn’t be wasted!
Alexander Freed manages to breathe NEW LIFE into the novelization. Characters like Chirrut really have a moment to shine.
They talk about Cassian being a cold blooded murderer
Stanton NOT voicing Tarkin
Alan Tudyik’s K2 ad-libbing
Hammerhead crew survived, to die?
Music
CGI characters – rights and laws?
Was it too premature to say NO to a CGI General Leia?
Jimmy Smits- 61 at time of filming- Alec Guinness was 63 during ANH
Chirrut’s force sensitivity:
Insider “Chirrut cant see, but he can feel with his heart and believe in the force
He senses darkness around Cassian,
he senses Cassian keeps his prison with him wherever he goes
He sensed the imperial pilot
He “hahed” into his hand then shoots a tie fighter out of the air and it collides into the turolaser taking out 2 at once
He takes out all the troopers in his intro
He senses the Kyber crystal- being by them apparently also effects Force Sensitivity
How did Mon Mothma know about Bail’s Jedi friend?!
So why not ask for Kanan and Ezra. Ahsoka?
Saw Gurrara changes- what’s Maz say about eyes again?
Saw’s delivery of lines
And more!
Once more your hosts cover entirely too much Rogue action this episode. But don’t worry, give it a go; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you might even get a little education on Star Wars while you’re at it. But no matter how you slice it and dice it, you’ll be having another adventure Beyond the Films. So sit back, hang on, enjoy the show, and may the Force be with you!
