I'm struggling to think. I didn't think any of the new characters in Rogue One were memorable or interesting so I need  help.

All I could think of right now is Donnie Yen's character.

If they gave most of the characters easy to remember names then maybe they could have been more memorable. I don't like when I have to look up online after a movie, especially Star Wars, to get the names of the characters.

Calrissian Endor, Chimp Perwee, Chief Bodi, and I can't even remember the name of the dude with Chimp



That's all off the top of my head

I guess Director Krennic was pretty entertaining when he threw a fucking tantrum and went to Darth Vader to complain about it lol

I read the Catalyst prequel novel (really good btw, recommend it), so that definitely influences my thoughts, but I think Krennic is a very interesting character. He's interesting because he's intelligent, cunning, and relatively competent, but only  to a point.

His reckless disregard for the chain of command, and his other flaws are what make him interesting.

Having only seen the film, to me Krennic is just a lameo incompetent whiner who gets a bunch of his potential screen time stolen by should-be-cameo villains Tarkin and Vader

Perhaps I should have worded my post differently. He's not necessarily incompetent at what he's good at doing, but he has an overinflated sense of importance, and thinks he's more competent than he really is as it applies to things outside of his talents. I wasn't implying he's amazingly competent or anything.

Here's a good example. Krennic is good at manipulating people, especially on a personal level. An excellent example of this is Galen Erso. However, just because he can manipulate less powerful people and easily manipulated people he knows doesn't mean he can manipulate Tarkin.

Krennic thinks he could though.

I love how he thinks he's equivalent to Tarkin but Tarkin just thinks he's an overconfident shit.

Yeah. Have you read catalyst too?

I liked Jyn.

No, but I do keep up with new star wars stuff so I know the basics of it.

I'm planning on picking it and Tarkin up at some point.

Do it. Both novels are excellent.

Galen Erso

I would've loved to see what his life was like before he defected from the Empire.

Read Catalyst by James Luceno. Literally about this.

Cool, thanks broski. I've been meaning to get back into reading Star Wars again.

That and Tarkin by the same author are really good.

I didnt like any of them but the meme blind guy and the girls father, but thats just because it was Mads Mikkelsen
