    Best bit is that there are 3 different EU books with 3 different versions of the Death Star plans getting stolen - a choose your own adventure book, a Han Solo novel and a novella adaption of Dark Forces. That's without Dark Forces itself and the other 2 or 3 games that also did it as well.

    If folks are going to complain about Disney binning off EU things, which they said they were doing almost immediately after buying Star Wars, they could at least complain about something that EU itself was actually consistent on.

    I think it was X-Wing that had the rebel outpost on a asteroid with a satellite dish and they got the plans somehow and sent them to Leias ship.

    It's February, and I watched Rogue One again yesterday.

    Is Rogue One still being played in your area?

    I know it's like weeks later, but yeah. My joke was that he was being snide towards CKPRIME for having Movie Optimus as his avatar whilst having a Boba Fett avatar himself, and that Boba Fett is not in any way developed or really all that interesting aside from looks, but he's loved just the same. Which then segues into my point about people can like whatever they like and we all probably like something someone can find "objectively" bad so why bother fighting about it.

    But I care so little about Rogue One I never bothered to check back until today from browsing whatever-ly, but I'd hate to be misunderstood on an internet forum. God forbid that happens, I wouldn't be able to live with myself! D':>

    Well, there were people who were absolute fans of Jolt in ROTF, so it don't always take a lot to satisfy people.

    FWIW, Rogue 1 is among my favorite SW films. I truly cannot wait until it hits 3D blu ray

    I know thats what Vader is supposed to look like under the suit, but it's hard imagining this punny, badass motherfucking who wrecks all shit with no effort look like such a weak guy. He loses his intimidation. I've always felt the suit should have been almost entirely integrated with his body(whata left of it.)

    I remember when I was a kid and haven't seen the movies yet, I thought Darth Vader was a robot.

    Can't wait to watch this at home tonight. I loved this movie simply for what it is, a story of just one battle. One bad-ass Star Wars Rebel battle with no jedi.

    Nah I just meant it was available on iTunes last night so might as well. Saw it twice in theaters before.

    Side note: I don't think it occurred to me before that Krennic was in the exact line of fire from the Death Star :lol

    Wow, I can't believe Best Buy's steelbook version is sold out already! Any rumors about it coming back in stock? I'd hate to have Rogue One not match my others. :(
