Bunch of silly stuff.
Science!
The 123123123242345435435442343123123123123th discussion about maneuver from the Jurassic Park Lady, lol.
There's smoke coming out of the downed starships in the prequels too and especially in Revenge of the Sith.
And let's not forget that big old mushroom cloud explosion after the Executor hits the Death Star in ROTJ.
None of this matters to the story.
I just looked it up, I remember. I was confused because for a sec I thought ascii was a term from the movie I missed.
Don't exactly know how much time, but it's at least a couple of minutes. We cut to Rey and Kylo fighting over the lightsaber (Snoke is already dead) and Phasma preparing Rose and Finn for execution.
Then again to Holdo lining the ship up. Then a quick succession of shots from all three plot lines until Phasma says "execute" and boom.
if the solo rumors are true you may not have to wait long to find out
Rogue One had it's....problems, but it also had it's moments. I would say that the storyline is muddled, but the spectacle is too grand for it to be a bad movie.
Honestly, a few minor tweaks could seriously have propelled Jyn Erso into one of the best SW protagonists.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's something that my old man actually mentioned to me when he showed me ROTJ. Granted they at least had the shields go down before the A-Wing hit, but... a super star destroyer of all things and they never thought to design a secondary bridge?
I know, they needed to write themselves out of the corner that they were in, but still!

Oh yeah, I do remember that.
Lots of, "this is bad because it's fan service" and then "but why doe" and then a whole lotta nothing.
Yeah. And Ackbar all proud of himself for that A-Wing taking down the Executor's bridge vía kamikaze.
That would've gone down pretty well with today's Star Wars fans, if Leia would've had a huge grin on her face after Holdo's maenuver.
Edit: And by the way, would taking out the bridge of any Star Destroyer result in it going down like that? Sure, I guess we've all concluded that the hit resulted in a catastrophic systems failure and whatnot, but then that means the Rebel's could just focus on those big tall and prominent bridges in order to take a Star Destroyer down.
Maaayyybe someone could think it's more enjoyable, but actually being a better product? Nah.
I think that LucasFilm's actor recreation stuff hasn't escaped the uncanny valley just yet. I am curious to see if they use it again in the future.
That's two, you get one more and then you get these babies.
Both of them I'd rather skip around to the good parts than sit through the whole thing.
I watched ROTS before watching Rogue One for the first time and the leap in quality from ROTS was insane. Can't see how anyone could seriously think ROTS is a better quality movie.
Rogue One was boring, unfocused crap until the third act.
But GODDAMN that third act was good.
But GODDAMN that third act was good.
I think the answer is that the writers needed to get out of the corner they had written themselves into with the rebels being hopelessly out gunned.
All that ship and they couldn't even spare room for a secondary bridge in case the first one went poof. :p

Why would I ever compare the greatest Star Wars movie to Rogue One
Revenge of the Sith has always had a better reception than the other prequels, but I think that a lot of that has to do with it offering some pay off to the entire venture.
Oh my god Bobby, how is this just only news?! Is that clip from ROTJ real?
