Rogue One [Official Info] Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - December 16, 2016

In AMC theathers i think, bunch of people beginning to tweet about Rogue One again.

 

That's great! In solidarity with my cinema-going compatriots, I made a great sacrifice and watched it at home again.

And I can confirm that it's still the best Star Wars movie.

 

Its the best disney movie behind The Last Jedi, it blends both elements from the prequel and OT era's very good.

 

Yup, mine is still on the shelf too... that's a relief.

It's my favorite (by far) of the Disney era, and in second place overall for all SW movies (just behind ANH, and just ahead of TESB).

 

I would love to see the cut scenes from this film one day! There were some great scenes in that first trailer that never saw the light of day...

The best SW experience I have had was seeing this with about 20 friends...we were absolutely buzzing coming out of the theater! The very next year was the worst...it was dead quiet You can't manufacture great feelings towards a film.

 

Star Wars dot com interviewed Gareth Edwards about Rogue One, since today is somehow the 5-year anniversary of the film's release.

Oh wow, 5th anniversary!

 

Hey, watch it, I was exactly twice that old in December 2016!

 

This may be my least favorite Star War, but I'll be positive: Five years later I still ride or die with Saw Garrera.

 

Thanks for flagging! Unsurprisingly, he’s a delightful guy (I laughed out loud about his hypothetical of Igor announcing that everyone dies). His love for both Star Wars and filmmaking is clearly palpable, based on his funny and geekily phlegmatic answers, and that shows in every frame of the film. I think Rogue One is already defining the look of this new era of Star Wars, and that’s nothing to shake a stick at. In decades to come it will be seen as a foundational part of the franchise.

 

I wish they would also interview Tony Gilroy at some point. Probably not gonna happen though.

 

To five years of the best Disney Star Wars movie!

 

Lucasfilm would be crazy not to offer him at least an episode.

No doubt. But that humility is a pretty admirable quality so I can’t fault him. Also, many great artists are perfectionists and their own harshest critics, and I really do think he’s just happy that fans don’t hate it.

ETA: Which reminds me. Is this the first time since Rogue One’s release that Edwards has been interviewed? I think so. Crazy. We’ve been missing so much, given how the guy doesn’t speak in sound bites.
