I like how they made the AT-AT's more into the juggernauts they're supposed to be. Hoth didn't really do them the right amount of justice.
These AT-ATs were different types. They had more armor but less firepower than the ones on Hoth.

And how were the Hoth ones not doing any justice? They were shooting those super fast snowspeeders out of the sky and destroyed that Rebel base. I think only 2 AT-ATs were destroyed in that attack whereas in Rogue One they were getting destroyed left and right.

Yeah that post had to have been sarcasm.

An x wing took out an at-at by itself. Like zero effort too.

I don't remember how the scene went exactly, but after it ate the rocket, did it not create a big gaping weak point to be shot at?

Maybe. I just learned they're earlier versions anyway. Quoted from someone else

"Apparently they're referred to as AT-ACTs, Armored Cargo Transports. Which might explain why they had half as many guns."

Makes sense. Guess I need to do my research.

Nope just leaves a bit of scorching, doesn't even break the gun it directly hits because it fires from it again until the X-Wing shoots it.

I have a distinct feeling that in an upcoming film, a certain helmeted fanboy is going to visit the castle we saw in this movie.

Meh. I'll guess we'll just have to buy the "it was a weaker model" explanation.

I didn't even see the trailer or read anything about it prior to seeing it.

Best way to watch movies, tbh

On this we agree. Entering a movie with preconceived notions is a pretty good way to ruin it for yourself.

Well when they show scenes, you expect them to be in it is all. I had no preconceived notions. Really I wasn't that excited for this movie at all. It felt more like an obligation to see it, rather than the excitement I felt for TFA.

So I forgot to ask people

I mentioned that I felt most of the movie was pretty boring (though the ending was one of the most intense moments I think I've seen in any movie), but I think I know why

Rey in episode 7 was written rather... not so amazing, yes, but the actress Daisy Ridley did a fantastic job with her charisma and all that, thus making her acceptable. Plus I'm forgiving since it's the start of a trilogy, so they'll flesh her out more. Anyway, anyone else feel that the Jyn (main girl) was just... dull? Like a lot of the characters. I guess it was the direction they took since bleak, Saving Private Ryan tier kinda thing, but still. I just found it hard to care about really ANY of them, especially the other main guy Cassian Andor (especially since he straight up murders someone). I just... did not feel a thing for this guy at all.

And another thing, why did Forest Whitaker say he was tired of running, like he'd stand up to a big bad evil, when it was just a massive explosion? I'd understand it more if he was facing down a lot of Storm Troopers or something and went HAM before dying, but eh. I'm echoing too much of RLM, but the boring movie/boring characters thing is something I've really always felt.

I felt the only stand out people were Chirrut Îmwen (I am the Force guy. I actually enjoyed his mysticism in an otherwise bleak universe. Like he was the flicker of hope, a reminder of what was lost, and what could be found), Orson Krennic, and I guess the Droid. Yeah, the droid. I only felt a flicker of something when those guys actually kicked the bucket, because they at least had some pretty interesting personalities to them, even if one was just the comic relief.

Yeah it was especially hard to care about the deaths in this movie. This was no saving private Ryan.

When I say Saving Ryan's Privates, I mean just the action scenes on the beach and all that. It's a war film set in the Star Wars universe. It did do that entire final stretch amazingly if you ask me. It was just the build up to it was sooooooooooooooooo long

The characters were definitely the most underwhelming part, yeah, but I thought Jyn was all right (it helps that she's a qt).

I think they were receptive to the Mary Sue complaints of Rey (she's not a Mary Sue but w/e) by giving Jyn a lot of obvious character flaws and having her outright make a dumb, human mistake during one part: in her stupor of seeing her father again, she failed to retrieve the hologram when she absolutely needed to.

I was referring to the deaths not having much of an impact. SPR had a lot of character development that allowed you to care about the people on screen, this movie falls short of that goal.

I wasn't comparing it to that though. Just the action with the beach. Never mind.

Maybe, but it just doesn't help they have no backstory for any of them to really care, and they're just so... blech. If not for the ending run, I think I would have legit disliked this movie and put it as the worst one. But you don't because it ties into the movie everyone cares about. It's weird.

I applaud them for trying something different, and trying to get a feel for Star Wars. I just don't think it was done amazingly well.
