Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

I liked that badass pig handler and the blind warrior-monk ninja dude...goddam, they all went out like real men, didn't they?
Goddamn right. I really like how they treated the Force/Jedi stuff in this movie. The prequels diluted the value of Jedi, and so did episode 7 to some extent. It seemed like everyone was either a Jedi, sensitive to the force, or had a lightsaber just chilling out in their back pocket. Meanwhile, Rogue One treated jedi like the near-dead religious order that they are, so when we saw characters using the force, or the one scene with a lightsaber, it was just so much more powerful. Really well-done all around.
 
Well he looks like he is pretty fucking good at it.
Yes, he is. Anyone can be quick at mag changes but it's not often the difference in a match. Mastering speed load techniques with the shotgun separates the men from the boys.

I know everyone was thinking "Rogue One needs a professional AAR" so here you go.

No More Task Force Rogue Ones: A Tactical Analysis of the Raid on Scarif

Once the shuttle lands on Scarif at the de facto objective rally point (ORP), the infiltration team seizes Imperial officer uniforms and enter the data archives center using deception. The special operations teams exfiltrate the shuttle, leaving a small security detachment for the ORP and shuttle. No leader’s reconnaissance is conducted and there are no fallback positions identified for the teams. As each team fans out to their objectives, movement is tactical and each team is prepared for enemy contact. The teams keep local security and communications with the infiltration team.

Rebel Intelligence bears no small part of the blame for the destruction of Task Force Rogue One for failing to properly vet their sources. Had Jyn been an accepted member of the intelligence community, Mon Mothma would have been able to rally the Rebel Alliance around the mission and give it the support that it needed.

That time @Marauder06 and @Il Duce doomed a raid...
 
After seeing Rogue One I briefly considered writing something for article107 on how the rebel alliance was clearly built on the back of enslaving droids - genteel farmers trying to preserve their 'way of life.' After realizing how much of it would expound upon the 'house droids' like those featured in the movie I thought maybe it wasn't my best satire instinct.

One of the best pieces of Star Wars satire/ comedy:
Hooper: Always some white boy gotta invoke the holy trilogy. Bust this: Those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down, even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this shit: You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!

Banky Edwards: What's a Nubian?

Hooper: Shut the fuck up! Now... Vader, he's a spiritual brother, y'know, down with the force and all that good shit. Then this cracker, Skywalker, gets his hands on a light saber and the boy decides he's gonna run the fuckin' universe; gets a whole clan of whites together. And they go and bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star. Now what the fuck do you call that?

Banky Edwards: Intergalactic civil war?

Hooper: Gentrification! They gon' drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote, unquote, safe for white folks. And Jedi's the most insulting installment! Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!

Banky Edwards: Well, isn't that true?

(Hooper pulls out his gun, shoots Banky)
