I don't know why but I was incredibly bored for at least the first 40 minutes of this movie. After that I really enjoyed it.

I am one with the force, the force is with me...
TherealNotSid
Just saw this finally and loved the reasoning behind it.
Killrapture
This has been the first movie where I felt the same amount of emotion after the 3rd time I've seen it. I'm still feeling the emotions
PwnageHobo
The Death Star was an inside job
UltraBooster
I didnt know this movie was necessary till i watched it. And it really couldnt have been done better. 5/7 perfect score
batts
Meh
Eureka008
Agree. This movie was one big Meh. K2 was cool though.
SirBarnabusMontesforteWinsomTheThird
But how did so many Bothans die?

I don't want to spoil the movie, but the ending gives the rebels a new hope.

Loved the way this movie connected Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope

Mads Mikkelsen is pretty good at putting holes in things. Like a chair for instance.

Ahhh, I felt the pain! Why you do this!?
fornikait
I didn't know so many people hated TFA. I like it :(
EricFromAccounts
They don't. The vast majority of critics and audiences loved it. But those who didn't, just never shut up about their opinions regarding it.
QuotablePoots
Stromtroopers have such poor accuracy! *Kill everything that moves*
radiantvisage
I remember people always joking that the engineer that designed it lost his job. Well.... They weren't completely wrong.
TheLavabenderGuy
And his family...
beggingyourmajestyspardon
Kinda wish Saw Garrera had a bigger, more fleshed out part
Azkadamn
i dont really get why they even bothered introducing him tbh he didn't really do much
Exactly. That was a waste of Forrest Whittakers time
unless it was specifically so they could have more story lines for rebels idk
DeadJedi77
Not Lucasfilms.
This was Disney, surely.
DarthFutuza
...most of the same people that work for Lucasfilm worked for them pre-Disney, its not like they fired everyone and replaced them all...
ilPiccone
Although it somehow still says lucasfilm in the beginning
Lucasfilm is owned by Disney. Just like Marvel Cinema Studios.
Korturas
TFA was the return to quality form, R1 is the return to TOP form. Its the first time a dutch audience has been silent for a film ive been to
bruguerolle
Is it just me or were the robots a tribute to Miyazaki?
Thank you Gareth! Awesome movie. I had chills down my spine!
KaruilBunny
The funniest thing is, we already HAD a reason before the Disney Acquisition, and his name was Kyle Katarn.
Kkenn
The most badass person have the weakest heart
Daneasaur
Still didn't make a good movie. vader had the best scene because the rest of the cast sucked.
zac677
This is the best review I've seen yet. Well played!
JeffJuice
If disney used this as advertisement it would be deadpool level lol
itsfurysfury
This is how memes die,same with the "Leo not winning an oscar" meme,all the hardworking meme creator's life's work rendered null and void.
adamantos
And nothing of value was lost.
Generalzdave
The collegehumor video about engineer Dak Exhaustport was pretty good as stuff like that goes.

Missed your moment to say "This is how memes die, with thundering applause".

DieterPinklage
Best line in the movie.
Porksterbob
There's a good reason Death Star 1 was so easy to destroy. 2 and 3? Not so much.
SpiderDetective
Well, the 2nd was still under construction and had a LOT of openings to the core. The 3rd one, well.......(1/2)
I guess the only weak spot it had was so heavily armored that even multiple bombing runs didn't break it but Han did before it was exploited
#3 had to explode because the plot demanded it. Kylo Ren, Rey, and the explodey button are all in the same 10 km on a Mercury sized object.
PhailRaptor
Did we already forget about Plot Armor? Oh, ok then.....
OmenIcarus
Plot armor? Did you watch Rogue One?
Plot Armor works in both directions. Heroes rarely if ever die, and villains always fail, if not always how you expect.
RheaButt
1: no, barely anyone uses it to mean that. 2: I still fail to see where the plot armor is
AllOutOfEucalyptus
Haha! *sobbing intensifies*
leafspring
I think you misunderstood the concept of plot armor. It doesn't mean a character can't die when the time is right. Still, good movie.
mrpattyice
They opened a whole new plot hole when they broadcast the plans to "the whole galaxy", how did the Empire not notice and fix the reactor?
theyar
The plans don't detail the weakness. The hologram message did. The plans just allow them to pinpoint it.
baconsmellsreallygood
Bc the Death Star engineers and project managers who worked on the death star cant look at the plans bc they are too busy being dead
WayLatetotheParty
They had seen the plans previously though. The bit was hidden, they didn't know where to look for it without Jin's dad
I take that as she was bluffing and gloating a little bit. Just like "fuck you krennic eat my dick"
Then Krennik was like "but i don't swing dat way...wait you have a dick?" And then he died.
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
Death Star was built in secret, broadcasting it was political as well as helping them locate the reactor; its flaw isn't shown on plans.
yepyepyepski
I think people missed what her dad said, he said hitting the reactor was what was needed. They just needed the plans to find a way to hit it
I don't remember him saying anything about the exhaust port being the way to hit it.
Not specifically no, but it was implied that the weakness was in the structure (ie: an exhaust port that led straight to the reactor).
Because the reactor being the weakness wasn't on the plans, the plans just showed the rebels where the reactor was after they knew it-
-was the weakness
ltpoultry
1)They didn't broadcast it, Jin only said that to keep Krennic talking. 2)The flaw was too small to find unless you knew what to look for.
KakasiHatake
1) she was bluffing 2) she then proceeded to send the broadcast.
She only sent it to the rebel flagship, not the entire galaxy.
Well and all the Star Destroyers that were listening...its not like they setup an encrypted channel beforehand.
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
No, however the download is only just able to complete for the ship that knew to listen in beforehand.
It's like downloading a file using your cell phone. The data is being broadcast unencrypted from the tower, but only your phone receives it.
If anyone in the general area would have received the plans, Bodhi wouldn't have had to die to tell the flagship to prepare for the transfer
kosmoosi
The reason why Death Star was so easily destroyed is space wizards.

Macalucifer666
They could have atleast covered the hole up with a piece of plywood or something.
thdudedude
I mean, its basically a Borg cube. Which btw, pretty sure StarTrek anything would kick its ass.
Khatvogel
No cause it was trap
IUsedToHaveUsernameOnce
Actually space terrorist. From desert planet. Yeah... I'll see myself out.
FirstEdition
In R1 they show a suicide bombing on the desert moon Jedha (see Jeddah) as part of an attack by extremist anti-imperials wearing turbans...
so star wars is a political statement now and I've always sort off saw sith as far right and jedi as far left politically speaking.

That's always been plenty of explanation for me, but the Erso thing is good too I guess.

bigmfmike
For the shot yes. But the critical flaw was everything going boom once the reactor blew.
I mean a reactor contains a reaction that would be unstable otherwise so it blowing up makes sense. The flaw is the port that leads to it
That'd be true if he didn't explicitly say that the flaw is the reactor blowing and creating chain Reaction that destroys the whole thing.
Finding the port is the whole reason they have to get the plans. Without the port there would be no way to blow up the reactor
Finding a flaw in the death star was the plan. The flaw was the reactor had no fail safes. What they did with the port is exploit the flaw.
Schtalin
Or that none of the other couple dozen engineers working with Esso didn't notice a rather big flaw that could easily lead to catastrophic...
TheFlyingTripleSpinningAtomicScrotumVaporizer
"But sir!" "Shhh... Hear that? That's the sound of no other chief engineers objecting. That's a sound you'll be hearing a lot, buddy."
Erso was in charge of them. So I mean he could have given them menial bullshit tasks like designing the toilets in the Death Star or (1)
could have been in charge of approving the final designs (where he could have slipped it in) or could have made the exhaust port system (2)
intentionally complicated so his cohorts (who couldnt finish the project in time w/o him) would never find it b4 project was finished (3)
SalmonTheWise
Guys at Samsung didn't notice their phone can explode, Toyota once released a car with accelerator that jams and keeps going, just because/1
with the director says that math checks out you don't question it, not in the Empire anyway unless you want to be executed as an example /3
the flaw is obvious in hindsight doesn't mean it's clearly visible on a blueprint. And if your boss who is smarter than you and friends /2
Failure. Then again the aliens in Independence Day had shipwide shields but forgot to download anti virus
thegarlicawakens
They didn't update their anti-virus for hooman-made viruses.
And how the Martians in War of the Worlds have been studying our planet for thousands of years but forgot about microbes

Weirder because in the original book, they were stealing and using human blood. ????
