April 8, 20169 yr I found their male leads in the first 6 installments pushing their masculine agenda.
April 8, 20169 yr Looks dope, but the trailer wasn't overwhelming. Loved watching Donnie Yen kick some ass.

Does it make you feel important because you're PC bro? That was only two characters. I'm just saying they don't get points for female characters, nor should they.
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Not that the female lead is a problem, but they did just have one. I did get a sense that they may have been forcing it in that regard, but Daisy Ridley was great so who cares. Honestly, that's such a weird thing to say.
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 01:08 AM) Honestly, that's such a weird thing to say. OK fine. It just seems like overcorrecting, but I'm not going to pick this fight.
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 04:07 AM) OK fine. It just seems like overcorrecting, but I'm not going to pick this fight. Well, I see your point. I think that has 100% to do with it being a Disney operation.
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 08:24 AM) Well, I see your point. I think that has 100% to do with it being a Disney operation. Eh, here's the thing. Even in the original movies (Ep 4-6), while it was certainly male-dominated, the lead female (Leia) had some badass traits. Now Ridley, who is kind of part of a dual-lead so far. Now we have what appears to be a truly lead female character. I'd say it's in-line with the evolutionary arc.

That darth vader and a bunch of dude characters will be in it. Having a female lead character makes perfect sense. It opens them up to love story angles and some balance. It should have nothing to do with PC. Edited April 8, 20169 yr by bmags
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (MEANS @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) XII? Do you mean VIII? Oops. I actually meant VII. Forgot my roman numerals for a minute there.
April 8, 20169 yr I bought the new one right when it came out and watched it again in the privacy of my own home and I liked it even more.
April 8, 20169 yr Is there any background on where this one fits into the overall story arc? I am kind of confused
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) Is there any background on where this one fits into the overall story arc? I am kind of confused All I know is it's before New Hope.
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) Is there any background on where this one fits into the overall story arc? I am kind of confused Right around episode 4. This is the story of the group that smuggled the death star plans that is referenced before luke blows dat s*** up with the force.

Right, I was hoping there was a site that gave me more background, I'm not completely up on the canon.
April 8, 20169 yr Oh, I don't want to know more than that yet. I'm sure wiki/reddit could float that boat.

From one of the movies and books, they reference that many Bothans die trying to get this information. It's a source of pride among that planet. I wonder if they work that in or just go the human route.
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) Ill look. Also which death star is this? The first.
April 8, 20169 yr You would think after becoming the republic they would have made a priority to create a death star that can blow up death stars.

Theoretically, Rogue One could end with the plans being handed to Leia, right before the events that started A New Hope...

I'm pretty sure the Bothans are the first one with Leia discussing it in the first movie. I'll need to back and look at the books.

April 8, 20169 yr I'm pretty sure the Bothans are the first one with Leia discussing it in the first movie. I'll need to back and look at the books. The Bothans reference was ROTJ, the second Death Star.
April 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:59 AM) The Bothans reference was ROTJ, the second Death Star. Yep, they stole the plans in the Battle of Korriban
April 8, 20169 yr So while reading up on the Battle of Korriban, it states the most valuable sith artifact in the tombs was a large hooded statue, is it possible this is the figure that was shown in Rogue One?
