EPThow the Rebel fleet seems to have remarkable mobility. They sure seem to be able to travel wherever they want at a moment's notice.

I agree it should not be possible to send transmissions to normal space or to change course while in hyperspace. Yeah, I'm confused about what he's referencing too since he's using KOTOR2 character names.

If they need to cross the Galaxy to go from Tundra Planet to Plains Moon 7 it would take weeks in universe. Characters would end up getting off of the ship acting very different to how they did when they got on unless there's some big drama, and the audience would have 0 idea why. Or they show it and people get bored because the crew is sitting aboard the ship and just shooting the breeze for hours. But yeah, any time you get into FTL travel there's going to be that aspect of "suhprise bitches, we here!" It's like how if there's a fighter jet flying towards you from behind, you will see it pass over you before you hear it... except this is much faster. | ||

I just couldn't remember the name of the Rebel soldier haunted by his past and the snarky robot, so I called them by the names of the equivalent KotOR characters. Don't mind me. It happens right after the mission on Jedda... they escape, then decide mid-course to go to the research base, having communicated with the base.

I think the fastest we ever see it is Ep IV, where the journey across half the galaxy appears to take a few minutes. | ||

Are you sure they're in hyperspace at that point? | ||

I mean, maybe I am misremembering, but I'm pretty sure they are because I remember thinking it was odd in the theatre. The course correction doesn't necessarily happen in that scene though... it's possible they reached their original jump destination then plotted the new course. Communication I guess could also be like listening to a voice mail? Can't remember if he responded at all. | ||

I didn't know everyone would die here. I was damn convinced Jyn would survive so she can hook with Luke sometime later and have Rey. Sad ending is sad  Now I don't know who is Rey's mother anymore. Solid movie thoAlso + Show Spoiler + Organa talked about Obi Wan briefly right? edit: Fixed a couple spelling mistakes. | ||

I liked SW7, even though Kylo was a bit of a drip and my favourite character dies, but somehow Rogue One just completely exceeded my expectations and took the number one spot in my heart. Vader was a badass, K2 was fricken hilarious, Cassian was a likeable character and Donnie Yen was amaaaazing. I was devastated because I didn't expect them all to die, but I absolutely loved that they had AT-ATs and AT-ASs and X Wings and A Wings and Tie Fighters and they featured Leia and C3P0 and R2D2 etc. There were some real moments of nerdy tears with all the nostalgia, and the graphics were beautiful. Some of the acting was a bit weak and laughable at points, but only because it was stereotypical and badly written in areas of dialogue. Anyway, I was mostly in the cinema for the awesome graphics and they completely delivered on that one! | ||

Though I think that's because the characters in this movie were more one-dimensional than the leads in TFA. Not that being one-dimensional is a bad thing - it left a lot more time to focus on the plot and move the story along at a good pace. I just generally prefer movies that are more focused on the characters than the plot. Not saying TFA is one of my favorite movies of all time or that it's the best Star Wars, just comparing the two new ones. | ||

If it was under any other name, like "Galaxy World" or "Space Wars" or something unrelated to Star Wars and I spent $12 to go watch it at the cinema, I would be like what an average, relatively shit movie. So basically a few lasers here, your run of the mill planes shooting at each other, some kung fu guy with average choreography, some Saving Private Ryan beach attack, and a guy chopping down some no names at the end. Oh, and an annoying female character who goes from: "I don't give a shit about revolutions, I just live for myself" to "rebel leaders - we must fight!" just because she saw her dad for ten seconds. I'm getting too old for this shit. Tbf, Jyn watched her childhood savior (Saw) and her father + Show Spoiler + both die within 10 minutes of seeing them The last movie I thought was meh was Spectre, so i'm not the harshest critic :p | ||
