Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

[TordelBack]

Everyone keeps saying this is a heist movie, but doesn't the original film state that the plans were stolen by spies during a battle against the Empire?

That was RotJ.

Nah, it's in the opening crawl for ANH.

[JOE SOAP]

'Battle' is vague enough to suggest any number of events - much like 'Your father was a great pilot' = podracing.

As a slip of lad Anakin did attack the Trade Federation in a Naboo fighter which is pretty much the same period of time Obi-Wan "first met" Luke's father - but again that's exactly an example of how loose Star Wars exposition by vernacular can be interpreted to fit whatever story is being created.

"I'll try spinning. That's a good trick!"

That's how the Force works.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Quite battley, that!

If you've ever read any of the Republic Commando SW novels, you'll quickly realise how little the grim'n'gritty hardcore military style of story suits the Star Wars universe.

The Rogue/Wraith Squadron books show it fits the Sharpe (for want of a better comparison) style of war story though.

Also I think the best Wars in Star Wars were realised in 2003:

Forget Sharpe, let's have Imperial Officer Flashman.

..I actually think that would work amazingly well!

Big-Dave's gag is by far the most interesting thing about those boring, awkward photos. I have a bad feeling about this.

[Steve Green]

Maybe it's an homage to the Carrie Fisher jedi photoshoot...

Come, now. It could be worse:
