And thusly was the question finally answered: what does Galt do with his spare time?

Oooooh Aaaaahh Rebels, Imperials and the Death Star plans and new characters.

Needless to say I will be seeing this on opening day. Twice if I can.

It looks like the other one should've been. And it has forest f**k Whitaker which is awesome.

Rogue One: It was a decent movie

the good:

it was set in star wars universe but wasn't a "Star wars" movie. that is, no more cheesy transitions. it's got a darker tone. it helps explain the absolutely retarded plot point of a new hope as to why there was an achilles' heel in the death star. it had limited fantasy elements. it had departure from the same story at least in some regards. there was still a child-tries-to-redeem-parent aspect but in this case it wasn't really the same way as the parent already was trying to do it themselves. the ultimate battle was pretty cool.

the bad:

i didn't really care for the main characters. the robot voiced by alan turdyk was the best character, and the blind asian guy was second best, but the main characters? don't care.

the ugly:

some of tarkin's cgi was pretty bad but they did a pretty damn good job. forest whittiker's character was pretty much pointless. i don't know why goldfish are the admirals of the fleet

That there's a fleet at all gives me hope.

That this isn't the usual Star Wars movie (I'm assuming no opening crawl) is to me a very good thing. I want more from these anthology flicks. The tone looks great, the cinematographer is the guy who did Zero Dark Thirty. Its to the point where "moar dark and gritty" is just boring. But when you consider how spotless and color saturated Episode VII was, I would like a little dirt and grime.

Probably won't get to see it till next week, for my sins.
