You don't get to talk about killing ANYONE. Not here. Neither do they.
Rebel Moon is worth it just to see the Space Nazis get wrecked. LOL.
Which is why you'll never know Rogue One is trash. LOL.
Same. I got as far as "Yer a ~~wizard~~ rebel now!" and was like "Nope!" Took 3 full tries before I finished it.
The Rebel Moon movies are better than Rogue One and that's saying something.
I dunno, I think the best of the Disney versions is still Force Awakens. The big complaint is "Well, it's just Star Wars..." which is true... but it's Star Wars without George Lucas. They had to prove they could do what Lucas did without Lucas and I think they succeeded in that.
Then Last Jedi shit the bed. Then Carrie Fisher died which painted them into a corner with Rise of Skywalker. Force Awakens was Han, Last Jedi was Luke, Rise of Skywalker was supposed to be Leia... 😢
Especially the Spielberg sequel... After the success of the first movie, Crighton wrote a Lost World novel as a sequel to the FILM, not the first book.
Spielberg jettisoned the book and did his own sequel instead. :(
I really wanted to see the chameleon dinosaurs on film.
Rogue One is a shitfest for a variety of reasons:
The original writer director didn't start with a script, he started with a supercut of other sci fi films and used that to make a script.
Even when he had a script, he spent an hour a day shooting off script for things that looked cool, but served no purpose.
So when the first trailers came out, they were full of gibberish footage that was never actually used in the movie.

Then he got fired and a new writer director was brought in, one who said his super power was he never liked Star Wars.

“Because that was my superpower. A) I don’t like ‘Star Wars’—not that I don’t like it, but I’ve never been interested in ‘Star Wars’ ever, so I had no reverence for it whatsoever, I was unafraid about that and they were in such a swamp… they were in so much, terrible, terrible trouble that all you could do was improve their position.”
So you get conflicting scenes, one where Cassian has no trouble murdering an innocent informant, but not long after gets all sweaty and conflicted when it's time to assassinate a legitimate military target.

vs.
No character growth, no arc, just in one scene he has no trouble murdering an innocent guy WHO HELPED HIM BTW, but later refuses to take out a military target HE WAS SUPPOSED to kill.
To say nothing of crapping all over the iconic opening of Star Wars by having Vader watch the Death Star plans fly away, personally, with his own eyes.
My favorite bit:
Leia gives Rey a pendant and tells her that she can use that to track them wherever they go.
In the SAME SCENE, with NO CUTS, they are tracked by the first order and shout "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
You just described, IN THE SAME SCENE, how it is, in fact, possible.
Bonus: Putting a tracker in the Falcon was how the Death Star found Yavin IV in the very first movie.

And that was 8 years ago...
I'd pay good money to see an animated adaptation of Truth in the Kyle Baker art style...
