The spoiler warning after the headline. :lol:

SPOILER ALERT: This article alludes to the presence of a CGI reconstruction of actor Peter Cushing in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, a fact that has been widely reported for well over a year. It contains no information about the content of the film that could be considered a “spoiler”

Absolutely spot on.

Just got back from seeing this. Loved it. truly loved it. More than force awakens.

Sits comfortably amongst the original trilogy and yet is an irreverent, adult themed offshoot of them.

strawberry floating amazing.

:wub:

Just booked tickets, on my way for a 1050 showing, can't wait. I never go this soon after a release as the screens are usually too busy. Managed to put force awakens off to xmas eve last year.

This film is amazing. Probably better than Force awakens

Just heard about this. Doesn't sound good, she had cpr for 30 mins.

They should've kept this. I'd have loved seeing Chewie rip an arm off

That's an awful scene. The guy from the last planet just happens to turn up at the next?

Horrid and universe shrinking

Oh look, someone lost an arm in the cantina scene.

It's like poetry.

I've looked at a few lists and it seems that a new hope and empire are more fondly thought of than Jedi. Am I alone in thinking that Jedi is the best star wars movie ever made?

For the record I love empire and a new hope.

Nope, jedi is my favourite one.

Mine too.

Watching now as an adult I can see its faults and why Empire is considered better but from an action/set piece point of view I loved it as a kid and watched it so many times.

All through my childhood I preferred Jedi, it was only in the last few years my opinion switched to Empire Strikes Back. The Luke/Endor/Space battle scenes at the end are almost perfect.

As a kid and teen I also loved Jedi, and didn't get the empire love. Now I understand empire and see it as a great film but also can't ignore my love for Jedi as a kid.

Empire is better as a film. The script, direction, everything about it is more artfully put together.

But Jedi is more fun, especially that last 30-40 minutes, so I tend to prefer it.

I really dislike the musical direction of Empire's Bespin act, so I prefer Jedi almost by default. A New Hope is the best though, because it just feels so much more special. They all have wonderful moments that became iconic, though.

As a kid, I always preferred A New Hope as the best, I loved Jedi and I didn't feel too much for Empire. Now as an adult with a better understanding of the story (instead of just watching lightsabres, laser guns, spaceships and teddy bears) my taste has completely changed. I now prefer Empire as my favorite. Great story and darker tone. A New Hope falls to second (but only just) and Jedi, whereas more fun, falls down the pecking order mainly due to the poxy Ewoks.

+1 for Jedi as a kid. I was four, and the right age to get excited about its release - I had the figures and the sticker book. My hype was sky-high when those adverts for the Speeder Bike came out, where they were using the dining table/chair legs as trees.

Edit - this one:

I'd go so far as to say that it was my first example of getting on board the hype train.

Oh, and as a four-year-old (probably five by the time I finally saw it, on video, at a friend's because we didn't have a vcr) I loved the Ewoks, and I loved the fact they beat the stormtroopers.
