    Yes, one of the most popular minor characters in recent years, a Mon Calamari, proves that the Mon Calamari must be retired.

    The only joke here is on you both. The next time Raddus has an idea, watch out.

    Ever since fans enjoyed watching that Han Solo guy, Star Wars has just kept hitting us over the head with all of these human characters. Enough already.

    Discount Ackbar doesn’t scare me. He can stay in the Dollar Tree where he belongs.

    Come back after you’ve executed a tactical hammerhead corvette operation on the Raddus scale, and we’ll consider your opinion.

    Both Ackbar and Raddus are great, anyone who says different is wrong.

    Ackbar is okay, Raddus is a character I rank alongside those from lower tier 90s Star Wars novels. Actually Rogue One as a whole kind of feels like that to me, probably why it's near the bottom of my film rankings.

    I have to agree that Rogue One does feel a lot like a 90s EU novel.

    Not a lower-tier one though. I mean it in a good way.

    Like the best 90s EU novel realized on film by excellent writers, directors and cinematographers? Sure. Count that as a complaint. ;)

    I mean, pretty much.
    Both Rogue One and The Mandalorian has that EU feel.
    Andor, TBOBF and OWK too, but to a lesser extent.

    I'd love to see the original film handed in by Gareth Edwards - There was some awesome looking scenes that didn't make it into the final cut! :cool:

    Oh... Complaint? The motley crew that joined Jyn and Cassian aboard Rogue One looked to "Modern". They looked like muscly extras from a prison movie. I like my Rebels to be jumpsuit wearing slim dorks that look like they just walked out of the 70's! [face_tee_hee]

    Despite my love for this film and Solo to an extent, my only complaint or fan gripe is the loss of Blue Squadron early in the run.

    I know this new universe is separate from Legends but there's a small part of me that wished Blue Squadron got out alive, maybe with a loss of two or more fighters on Scarif but not enough to leave them desolate. (Plus I have a small love for Bistan, we need more U-Wing primates in the alliance military.)

    The only actual complaint I have is that one CGI shot on Scarif where the X-wings blow up an AT-AT. The way it explodes and falls apart is the only time the CGI looks artificial to me.

    Yeah, I'd have loved to see Krennic survive the Galactic Civil War and show up later on. Ben Mendelsohn is just that good.

    Whenever I watch the round table scene in A New Hope I think about how Krennic isn't there and how he would have fit into that discussion and the overall dynamic between Vader and all the other officers there.
