Star Wars: Rogue One

Pretty excited to see this. But, I gotta say, I hate the whole "A Star Wars Story" moniker attached to it. Rouge One would have sufficed.

Ya. I mean, did they think people wouldn't have figured it out without the title?

Even the title: "Star Wars: Rouge One" would have been better. The whole "story" being added to the title kinda feels off.

I like this idea. I probably also won't catch Rogue One in theaters. It looks reasonably good, in a way that a probably well executed action movie does. And I miss plenty of those.

This, though...

The generation that grew up with the original trilogy probably would have. The generation that was barely born when the prequels were released not so much.

To an extent maybe, but Star Wars is a pretty iconic piece of pop culture.

This is from a CNN article about the succesful opening weekend:

With its strong performance, "Rogue One" has shown that Disney can make Star Wars films that fans will want to see even if they have nothing to do with the core story.

Um. No it hasn't. Rogue One has everything to do with the core story.

They will have to make a story that takes place 1,000 years before or after the main story before they can prove this.

Who in the world from CNN wrote that line about this new Star Wars movie, a Star Trek fan? LOL. (I'm kidding I know there are fans if both.)

But seriously. Moraine is correct in pointing out the flaw in that article. Rogue One is absolutely essential to the core story of Star Wars (episodes 4-6).

 
s it stands now, if one wanted to see all the Star Wars films, one after the other, in the correct timeline:

The Phantom Menace

The Clone Wars

Revenge of the Sith

Rogue One

Star Wars

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

The Force Awakens

Coming Star Wars movies:

* Young Han Solo

* The Force Awakens, Part 2

* The Force Awakens, Part 3

* As of yet untitled movies with TBD release dates.

I would expect a stand alone Han Solo movie to fit chronologically either about the time of Phantom Menace or Rogue One.

Perhaps sandwich a Han Solo movie in between the Phantom Menace and Rogue One so it could be episode 3.25....LOL

I knew they were making a Han Solo movie and then completely forgot about it.

Just found a chart with character ages. Han Solo was 29 in A New Hope. Luke was 19. So Han would have been 10 during Revenge of the Sith. I imagine a movie about him would take place when he's 20 (so that it's totally okay to have a different actor) which would be halfway between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

I completely mistyped that...I totally meant sandwich a young Han Solo movie in between Revenge of the Jedi and Rogue One.

I have no idea why I said Phantom Menace.

 
I don't think there's any confirmation on what the third stand-alone movie will be after Episode IX, but God, would I love a KOTOR based film.

 
They've picked a Han Solo actor already. Or are you talking about a different movie? Have they confirmed they're making 3 "offshoot" movies in this so-called series that Rogue One belongs to?

I believe so. I guess I could be wrong but I've felt certain that they originally announced plans for a new trilogy, as well as three stand-alone "A Star Wars Story" films in the off years. The 3rd was originally rumored to be a Jango Fett story, but that was either axed or never true to begin with.
