Another SW thread!



The full title is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is kind of dumb.  But the movie looks neat.  And there are people seriously complaining about the fact that there's a female lead again, because two female-led films in a row is just going too far, or something like that.

I guess the male chauvinists can't wait a few years for the Han Solo origin and Boba Fett movies.

Yeah, it looks awesome.  Hopefully it will be. 
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Rogue Squadron was Wedge's outfit and that was post RotJ methinks.

Is that the same actress who originally played Mon Mothma?

Originally, as in RotJ?  No.  But she was cast for RotS in a scene that didn't make it into the final cut:

Moar information about the movie:

Forest Whitaker's character is part of the EU already, which I guess is a nice little perk for those people who keep up with it.  I will resist the urge to make a comparison to Marvel.  Does anyone have anything to complain about?
