Lucas got taken to the cleaners by Disney IMO. Then again, he probably wouldn't have done anything interesting with the IP had he kept it so win-win I guess... |

Took our 7 year old yesterday, I had little interest seeing it myself. That was one outstanding movie. The 2nd half was as good as movies can possibly get.

I believe I heard this movie eclipsed the billion dollar mark worldwide. Fantastic, and well deserved.
Glad you enjoyed it, and yeah, that third act was amazing. I hope we get more Star Wars films like that in the future. |

He also developed a live action series, in which there are more than 50 scripts written, which are now property of Disney/Lucasfilm. |

The movie over-performed projections. Disney knew it wouldn't get close to TFA's $2.1 billion but they were hoping for a modest success. The fact that it topped a billion, especially considering the fate of all of the characters, means that not only is Lucasfilm on the right track, they'll also be given freer reign and the budget to continue beyond the planned films (Han Solo, Epi 8 & 9). It'll also allow them to continue to hire the most talented screenwriters, directors and cinematographers in the world of filmmaking. |

Obviously late to this thread (couldn't be helped ) but I just wanted to say how much I absolutely loved Rogue One. I sat there grinning from ear to ear for most of the movie. It was as good as the original and Empire. No plot rehashing, no ridiculous plot holes, no Jar Jar, no ewoks, no whiny emo villians, no how much shit can we shove in every frame CGI overload. It was dark, gritty, violent and wonderful. Darth Vader was once again Darth Vader. And it didn't have a cheesy everybody lives happily ever after ending - it had a Glory ending.
I can't remember what the last movie was that I saw twice in the theater prior to this. But I saw this one a second time. And it didn't lose a damn thing during the second viewing. Bravo. |

And I hope they take note that audiences were not put off by the dark and gritty tones and continue to incorporate that feel into future films. It CAN work while making insane profits. |

Rogue had such a great setting high above that space shield looking down on the planet. It was so well done. Tarkin was a dead Ringer and Darth's curtain call at the end was spectacular |

He was completely VFX as well. Alan Tudyk had to wear stilts for the entire shoot and was also mo-cap. |

I'm still in awe of the job they did recreating Cushing. The young Carrie Fisher face was a little off, but they absolutely nailed him.
