Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Page 2

I thought that it was extremely well done. It is in my top two or three favorite Star Wars movies. Great story about sacrifice. The character development wasn't the greatest but in the movie's defense it would have been difficult with the sheer number of settings and characters involved. The last hour or so of the movie was very entertaining. It was the most all in I can remember the Rebellion being in the saga. I look forward to this being out on DVD. The perfect way to get the full impact is to watch it and immediately afterwards watch the original Star Wars movie. Well done Disney.

Cool movie. In the movie poster the lead character looks like a young girl so I was surprised to see a full grown woman. Plus was that the original Princess Leia at the end?

They had a younger actress play Leia, and they used CGI to modify her appearance to match what it was in A New Hope. Same story with Tarkin.

I felt that the CGI was well done on Tarkin for the most part. I can't say the same for Princess Leia. Her face was too shiny and pale. It didn't look natural to me.

I forgot to look, was Tarkin actually wearing boots this time around?

In his last appearance, they had to avoid filming his feet because the provided boots didn't fit right and the actor wore slippers on set instead. The man destroyed Alderaan in lounge footwear.

I didn't know that. I love it! Since I wasn't aware I didn't pay attention at all to that. That's another reason for me to rewatch it!

All kinds of fun stuff like that if you look behind the scenes.

For instance,
-Jabba the Hut was originally this grungy highlander Scottish type human who made a brief appearance in A New Hope. His scene there was deleted, then redone in CGI later on with the wormlike appearance established in episode 6.
-Luke was not originally going to be the hero of the original trilogy. That role was planned for his friend, Biggs Darklighter, whose role ended up being reduced to a brief reunion scene followed by his death in the deathstar fight.

One thing that I thought the logistical engineers would have done was keep it underground. Keeping a tall building full of hardrives like that made it an easy target.
