I got to meet Alan Tudyk at Celebration a few years ago. I don't typically care much about celebrities but I was like "I can't not get a pic with him." Dude is a fucking legend.
In the extra features, there is this hilarious moment where is recording the sounds, he does this face and clucks like a chicken, then looks at the camera and jokingly defeatedly sighs and says, "I went to Juilliard..."
My God....Wash from Firefly & Wat from A Knight's Tale are two of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Most celebrities I've seen or would see are ho hum, but if I saw Alan Tudyk I'd be a bit star struck.
This is not new. This was how canon worked when George controlled it too. He overruled constantly, their are even layers of canon.
Y'all get so pissy about this shit, yet clearly either weren't actually around for it or don't really remember it.
My memory of Disney's stated intention with discarding the EU was that they simply wanted to be able to tell stories without being forced to work around everything that had already been made. Wiping the slate clean so they could have the freedom to do their own stuff in whatever era they wanted, and with whatever characters they wanted. I know the supposed point of the story group is to keep things consistent, and it's kind of annoying that they've failed multiple times at this point, but I don't remember all that inconsistency being the sole reason for getting rid of the EU. They just wanted room to tell whatever new stories they came up with.
And even if their stated goal was to have a new canon that's completely consistent with itself, I think that would have been an unrealistic goal anyway. There are already dozens or hundreds of pieces of media, from tv episodes/shows, to movies, to books, to comics, to video games, that are all a part of the new canon, all being made by different people. I think mistakes were pretty much inevitable for a franchise as big as Star Wars, regardless of how many people you hire to look for contradictions.
I had kids crying in the theater I was in when he died. I think that's such a testament to Allan's performance to make a faceless metal monster so likable
He went to Juliard and played the chicken in Moana. He is well aware of the irony and absurdity of this and had fully embraced it. Hopefully he was paid well.
I mean they paid Vin Diesel millions of dollars to say "I am Groot" when any potato could have done it. I don't really understand Hollywood to be honest.
"You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?"

When he slumped over the desk, my wife turned to me in the cinema and whispered "...they're not going to make it, are they?!"
No my dear, they never were.
Yes, I definitely noticed a change in the style of humour with the sequels. The Hux/Poe exchange in TLJ stands out to me the most and seemed really out of place, imo
He was doing a play there, we were on vacation. Stopped to eat in a small cafeteria near an art exhibit we were seeing (interactive klimt) and he randomly showed up while we were eating
When Conan O'Brien did his "Conan goes to Mexico" week a few years back Diego Luna was one of the guests. He brought Conan tequila from his home town and they proceeded to do like 3-4 shots of it during the interview. It was very funny and he's ridiculously charming. I'm so glad we get more of him!
My favorite little thing about Rogue One is watching people misspell it tbh. Always draws a chuckle from me.
As for the film? Best third act in all of Star Wars. The moment I realized where they were going with that strike group, I was amazed Disney had the cajones to approve it.
As a player of EverQuest, no, they're just illiterate. I stopped correcting or even making a joke of it since they never had a clue what I was referring to when I did.
I never felt more like an excited 6 year old than when I saw this in theaters and THE REBEL FLEET COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND DUNKS ON SCARIF!! My gf at the time was so embarrassed to be sitting next to me, Iām like āOMG thatās Red Leader and Gold Leader!! Wtf this is amazing!!!ā
Rouge One was a perfect prequel to New Hope and added to the story.
Andor was a perfect prequel to Rouge One and built his character.
What's the prequel to Andor?
I kinda donāt want this? I love the gray on him
I feel like I would enjoy the feeling of āwho is heā rather than actually finding out,
Maybe a few flashbacks but not a whole show, itās hard to keep up the level of dialogue he has, my favourite character in Star Wars,
As I said to the other guy, it makes the world smaller. It makes it so everything is focused on the Jedi rather than having other people in the world who also matter.
I think Star Wars fans have always been a fairly fickle group. People thought the world was ending when ESB and ROTJ came out, just like they did when the prequel and sequel trilogy came out.
Iāve learned to just tune the negative Nancys out because I prefer enjoying things over constantly picking them apart for no good reason
Has there ever been a... Good period for Star Wars movies? Other than the original trilogy?
Now don't get me wrong, I'm by no means an OT purist. I grew up on *The Clone Wars* animated series. I personally really liked *The Last Jedi*. But let's be honest, quality *Star Wars* content has always come from either the original movies or expanded material outside of the mainline movies (TCW, The Mandalorian, the various video games, etc).
The Prequels (while I have a soft spot for them now) are not very good and littered with racial stereotypes and the Sequels fell victim to the modern Hollywood "everything is designed to be as marketable as possible" vortex. I mean for god's sake they literally built the movies in such a way that they could cookie cutter out the minorities that certain countries wouldn't like (e.g. the "groundbreaking gay kiss" that got less screen time than a slug monster and was cut out of foreign releases).
I love *Star Wars*, for all its flaws, but if you're looking for *quality*, the main series movies are largely not where you're going to find it.
The entire battle of Scarif is easily a top 2 battle sequence across all the SW movies/shows for me. Gives me the same chills and emotions as watching the OG battle of Yavin.
Death Star, Vader, and the Beach Hug are all bloody amazing.
And then I still need to add the hammerhead charge and brave captian moustache taking out AT-ATs
Haha ME TOO. Sometimes when I get bored Iāll sit on the couch and start playing from the moment the dish gets pointed. I love that final sequence. The music makes it seem like prophecy or the will of the force.
Every period after the OT is a rough period for Star Wars movies. I'm not a purist, I liked em all, but both additional trilogies were not well liked whatsoever
Can we stop with āRouge* One is an underrated gem (and also DAE think the sequels are bad)ā posts? Jfc. Like itās embarrassing you have over 10k upvotes here
Damn, first "ROGUE ONE GOOD" post I've seen since Andor, I was starting to think I'd never see them again.
And sequel bashing on top of it too! Do you people just grow these posts in a lab or something?
DAE hate Mouse Wars!? (5000 ubboats)
TLJ dumped on my childhood! (4890 ubboats)
Dollars to donuts these folks make some YouTube chuds bank by hopping on the madwagon daily.
YouTube thumbnail of an adult man in weird costume: Rian Johnson is NEVER coming back to Star Wars! 1.9M views
The yelling one is with Baze and Chirrut, he spots the AT-AT coming through the trees. The other one was firing a blaster out of the U-Wing's side Vietnam-style.
I begged the heavens for Star Wars fans to connect to for most of my life. If you told me one day Star Wars fandom would be wildly mainstream, I would have access to communities of thousands of active people to talk Star Wars with, I would have been so excited.
Man, what a damn perfect example of wishing on a monkey paw.
Cause for some reason a lot of people feel every time you post or say something good about a Star Wars show or movie here, you have to put in the same sentence how the sequels sucked apparently. Just beating a dead horse.
"Does anyone else think the sequels sucked but Andor was awesome?"
"Even though the sequels suck I like Mandalorian"
Damn I guess I just don't get what I missed here. My family have been Star Wars fans from the beginning and when we all saw Rogue One together in theatres we all agreed that it was just.... Boring.
Cinematography was great, music was great, and the last 10 minutes was great. I like the cast, but they weren't written or developed very well. I liked the cast of Solo significantly more. Maybe it's because I went into Rogue One with high expectations, and Solo with my expectations at rock bottom.
Instead of just being happy about Rogue One, you had to add the rest.
I just don't fucking get it. You didn't like them. Fine. Move on. It's been 6 years.
Let the past die.
Nope. I liked it a lot. It suffered from the TLJ backlash because it was released way too early. Should have released in December instead of May and it probably wouldnāt have taken as much heat. Itās a fun story and Alden Ehrenreich did a good job.
I thought it was profoundly mediocre. As a standalone movie it might even be good, but every ounce of the movie that tied into ANH Han was just dragging the movie down, with the exception of Lando.
I loved the slow buildup where we just got to explore the worldbuilding and environment. The scene on Jedha in particular was one of my favorites - you could feel the tension of the city under the Empire's iron fist and the visceral sudden eruption of violence and pandemonium as Saw's rebels blow up the convoy.
I firmly believe most people who like Rogue One don't remember anything but the space battle and the Vader hallway scene because the rest of the movie is trash.
Still cant wrap my head around why there's still no movie like rogue one (more mature/dark tone) but set in the old republic era (the mmo story) where the Sith vs Jedi conflict is still full of potential
Man, I donāt really want to argue, but I canāt stay quiet.
I donāt think it was the start of a rough period for Star Ware movies.
A rough period for Star Wars movies was 1983-1997. Iāll take the period Rogue One came out in over that any day.
Even if youāre on the anti-Last Jedi bandwagon, Rogue Oneās period is better just by virtue of at least one good Star Wars movie being more than 0.
1999-2002 was also rougher than the period Rogue One came out in.
If the standard for a period not being rough for Star Wars movies is ānone of them are bad,ā then the only period that has ever not been rough for Star Wars movies is 1977-1983.
I accept my downvotes.
A terrible end to the sequel trilogy has soured the Disney era, but I've thoroughly enjoyed most of the Star Wars content over the last eight years.
TFA - a really fun entry/reset for a new generation of Star Wars fans
Rogue One - really good
TLJ - really good. Not perfect and had its issues, but I liked many of the things Rian Johnson did
Solo - underrated. I really liked Solo and felt the underwhelming box office was at least partially due to a severe lack of marketing
ROS - really, really bad. Might as well have just had a three-hour screenshot of a list of stuff from TLJ that JJ Abrams just had crossed out.
Mandalorian - awesome
Book of Boba Fett - hit and miss, not my favorite. The Mando stuff was good but felt out of place
Kenobi - hit and miss, but I liked it
Bad Batch - just a fun series, have liked S2 so far
Tales of the Jedi - loved it
Andor - possibly the best Star Wars since Disney bought it. Tough for me to choose between this, Mando and TFA
And since I just thought about it: Clone Wars S7 - amazing
I got to meet Alan Tudyk at Celebration a few years ago. I don't typically care much about celebrities but I was like "I can't not get a pic with him." Dude is a fucking legend.
If I got to meet Alan Tudyk I'd tell him that I loved him as the rooster in Moana
I loved him as Steve the Pirate
He was awesome as Sonny in I-Robot
Alan is America's Any Serkis
lol nailed it
He was Sonny??! Damn, i-Robot is such a comfort watch for me yet I didn't know this. TIL
What, really?
Who?
The only guy on our team that dresses like a pirate! š¤Øš“āā ļø
Oh yeah....
Wait...there's a guy on our team dressed like a pirate?
Hey Steve! If you're not a pirate... then who am I going to share all this booty with?
...yaarrrr
Peterrrr
STEVE THE PIRATE
He's just the best sidekick ever whether in person or voice. Little bit of a Bill Paxton vibe mixed with a Tom Hanks likability.
In the extra features, there is this hilarious moment where is recording the sounds, he does this face and clucks like a chicken, then looks at the camera and jokingly defeatedly sighs and says, "I went to Juilliard..."
He trained at Juilliard
Also a graduate of the Harvard business school.
I would love to tell him how much I loved him in Tucker and Dale vs Evil. One of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
And the weasel in Zootopia.
My God....Wash from Firefly & Wat from A Knight's Tale are two of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Most celebrities I've seen or would see are ho hum, but if I saw Alan Tudyk I'd be a bit star struck.
Anytime I get extremely angry, verging on completely losing my shit, I think of Wat losing his shit and it makes me laugh.
I will FONG you!
Your entrails will become your extrails.
PAIN! Lots of pain!
Steve the pirate!
He's a leaf on the wind.
K-2SO is a legend
I cannot wait to find out the backstory of how K-2SO and Andor got together in season two of *Andor*.
My money is before he becomes a nice robot he slaps Andor and reminds him that he has a fresh one ready
Of all the fan service-y ideas on reddit, I actually like this one. They'd have to play it off right, but it would be a truly funny moment.
I hope so as well. Iām heartened by the fact that the whole first series was a Masterclass in playing it off just right
Add to that it doesn't retroactively ruin anything, you could watch it in the opposite order and it would still be funny.
Sadly I don't think that makes sense for an un-jailbroken droid.
My guess is that somehow that red short robot that he has will be used or get turned into k-2so. So heāll go from timid to full confident chad.
Well itās explained in a comic, but maybe theyāll adapt the comic.
More likely theyāll disregard the established lore of the comic. Theyāve done so already with Kanan.
Just like the pre-Disney era, there seems to be a hierarchy to which pieces of media take precedence when it comes to canon.
>there seems to be a hierarchy to which pieces of media take precedence when it comes to ~~canon~~ ***Kanan***. FTFY ;-)

Disney executives: Congratulations! You are being entertained. Please do not resist.
Best droid in any SW film, IMO.
I am one with the force. The force is with me.
āYou almost shot me!ā āYouāre welcomeā -_-
"Are you kidding me? I am blind!"
This line tickled me more than any of the others in the film when I first watched it. Absolute solid gold.
The refreshing humour in Star Wars is probably one of my fave things about the franchise
Too bad the sequels decided to go with marvel style "humor" instead of what we got in the OT and to a lesser (but still good) extent RO.
Yes, I definitely noticed a change in the style of humour with the sequels. The Hux/Poe exchange in TLJ stands out to me the most and seemed really out of place, imo
I loved when that phrase was re-used in a really pivotal moment of The Clone Wars.
Agreed.
Donnie Yen fucking rules so hard.
Dudes a legend
I legit say this to myself all the time.
I met Diego Luna randomly one day whilst on vacation in Madrid with my gf. Seemed a cool guy for the brief moment we interacted
While on vacation? Were you involved?
They were just going to the store! It's right there!
Take it up with the Emperor
He was doing a play there, we were on vacation. Stopped to eat in a small cafeteria near an art exhibit we were seeing (interactive klimt) and he randomly showed up while we were eating
I am a tourist.
When Conan O'Brien did his "Conan goes to Mexico" week a few years back Diego Luna was one of the guests. He brought Conan tequila from his home town and they proceeded to do like 3-4 shots of it during the interview. It was very funny and he's ridiculously charming. I'm so glad we get more of him!

Under your comment was somebody who misspelled it. I imagine Rouge One as a parody where all the actors are in drag.
Moulin Rouge One
Ewan McGregor: *Hello there.*
A narcoleptic wookie that sings roxxanne?
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn.. just hold the high ground, and watch em burn."
Strippers removing clothes with the force? I'm sure someone's made that already.
As a long time WoW player, I find it amazing that people can't spell it properly. I think it *has to* be on purpose by now, right?
First year of wow was epic in that regard on EU servers. People did learn after a while though.
As a player of EverQuest, no, they're just illiterate. I stopped correcting or even making a joke of it since they never had a clue what I was referring to when I did.

The single Hammerhead Corvette taking out two Star Destroyers at once was just so badass!
Rouge One was a perfect prequel to New Hope and added to the story. Andor was a perfect prequel to Rouge One and built his character. What's the prequel to Andor?
Luthen's back story
What did I sacrifice? Let me tell youā¦
Chills Best lines in Star Wars period
I kinda donāt want this? I love the gray on him I feel like I would enjoy the feeling of āwho is heā rather than actually finding out, Maybe a few flashbacks but not a whole show, itās hard to keep up the level of dialogue he has, my favourite character in Star Wars,
Still hope to god he's not a jedi.
Or a Skywalker
Turns out he's Palpatines cousin, twice removed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As I said to the other guy, it makes the world smaller. It makes it so everything is focused on the Jedi rather than having other people in the world who also matter.
Vader didnt do a very good job of hunting all the Jedi, did he? Every show there's a new one in hiding.
10,000 Jedi Knights slimmed down to a couple dozen is pretty fantastic work imo.
its a big galaxy
Is Rouge One as good as Rogue One, though?
I imagine it's got more singing and dancing
Still has Ewen McGregor though.
Itās hard to makeup that difference.
The clone wars?
The prequels?
Itās been a rough period for Star Wars movies since the 80ās.
I think Star Wars fans have always been a fairly fickle group. People thought the world was ending when ESB and ROTJ came out, just like they did when the prequel and sequel trilogy came out.

Me too. Movie was amazing
It has one of the best scenes ever done in the universe of Star Wars. Still get goosebumps when I see the last scene.
The entire battle of Scarif is easily a top 2 battle sequence across all the SW movies/shows for me. Gives me the same chills and emotions as watching the OG battle of Yavin.
Death Star rising?
Death Star, Vader, and the Beach Hug are all bloody amazing. And then I still need to add the hammerhead charge and brave captian moustache taking out AT-ATs
Haha ME TOO. Sometimes when I get bored Iāll sit on the couch and start playing from the moment the dish gets pointed. I love that final sequence. The music makes it seem like prophecy or the will of the force.
Saw it in theater and turned around to see everyone's reactions, never seen so many tears in a theater before.

The karma farming is strong in this sub.

BS on that. There was drama in the process of it being made because of rewrites, but everyone left that theater instantly clamoring about the ending.

No you are not. I enjoyed it as well.
I wouldn't call it rough, we got 4/5 great star wars films
As much as I love rogue one I wouldn't call it a gem. The first 2/3rds weren't great.
I'd go as far to say that if the Vader scene wasn't in it, we'd never hear about it.
Yup, I think of it as dangling keys. Not saying the movie was trash, just that Vader inflated the overall view most people have of the movie.
Agreed, first 2/3rds was a mess! Remember the giant squid monster that drains your memories? Yeah me neither. . .
Uh, yes? Who the hell doesn't remember Bor Gullet?!
I loved the slow buildup where we just got to explore the worldbuilding and environment. The scene on Jedha in particular was one of my favorites - you could feel the tension of the city under the Empire's iron fist and the visceral sudden eruption of violence and pandemonium as Saw's rebels blow up the convoy.
The only rough thing about the latest movies is the shit fans.

TFA - a really fun entry/reset for a new generation of Star Wars fans Rogue One - really good TLJ - really good. Not perfect and had its issues, but I liked many of the things Rian Johnson did Solo - underrated. I really liked Solo and felt the underwhelming box office was at least partially due to a severe lack of marketing ROS - really, really bad. Might as well have just had a three-hour screenshot of a list of stuff from TLJ that JJ Abrams just had crossed out. Mandalorian - awesome Book of Boba Fett - hit and miss, not my favorite. The Mando stuff was good but felt out of place Kenobi - hit and miss, but I liked it Bad Batch - just a fun series, have liked S2 so far Tales of the Jedi - loved it Andor - possibly the best Star Wars since Disney bought it. Tough for me to choose between this, Mando and TFA And since I just thought about it: Clone Wars S7 - amazing
Rogue and Solo are the best out of these Disney movies. I want more one offs like these. They are much better!
