Can Episode 8 not have a tentacle monster

why was there even a tentacle monster in this movie
Yeah those giant ball tentacle monsters from the Force Awakens were pretty weird too now that I think about it.

Yeah just finished it, pretty fun. I appreciated that you can turn off aim assist, though it took some getting used to.

Did anyone else find Vader's pun groan worthy? I've been trying to figure out why I basically cringed at it, when he does joke a fair amount in all the other films. So I compared some of his other jokes lines;
YouTube

to his Rogue One line (link will probably get copyright claimed);
YouTube

And I dunno, I can't really put my finger on it. I think it's because it's like a self referential joke, something a fan would say but shouldn't actually be put to film. "Wouldn't it be cool if Darth Vader thought his choking ability was totally epic and funny?" It'd be like if the Emperor made some pun about Luke finding it "shocking" how much it hurt being electrified by him

I think the problem is that JEJ emphasized "choke" in the line. If it was just "be careful not to choke on your aspirations Director" delivered in his usual tone, that would've been better. Instead it was "be careful not to choke on your aspirations", which wasn't Vader's usual style.

Anakin always quips. As potato's video showed, he does it in the OT to. I think it's just people are looking for an excuse to dislike the movie. If you cringe at "Don't choke on your aspirations", you should also cringe at "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
But is it really looking for an excuse if that was my gut reaction immediately after hearing it

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.
Oh yeah

I was thinking it ate the rocket and took it like nothing, but yeah then that immediately happened. Nvm.
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?
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 rewatched the trailers to try and figure out more of what they reshot, seems like initially Jyn was gonna be the main Rebel character and not Cassian, and was gonna be a bit more Rebel sympathetic. Whereas in the actual film she's like apathetic at best about the rebellion and then abruptly gives the pro assault the death star speech that doesn't but then also does work.

I still think they Suicide Squad Joker'd Saw Gerrera, he seemed more like the weary leader type character in the trailers instead of a crazy cyborg. His lines in the trailer being about what Jyn would become if she kept fighting gave an interesting tone I thought, but then none of that is in the movie.

The rumours I see people saying are that they changed the ending in reshoots, but I think more likely they changed around the whole first act considering how badly the scenes flow.

I agree with the character thing, I just didn't like or connect with any of them, which made it hard to care about the things happening to them. I guess I was kind of happy when KS20 died because I found him really annoying, but that was about it.
Some of my complaints with the movie:
Spoiler
- The tentacle monster thing that reads the imperial pilot's mind was awkward as hell and didn't feel like it should have been in the movie. I know there's some other weird shit in Star Wars, but this scene was where my friends and I looked at each other and said "Uh... what is going on here?"

- The names for the characters were kind of hard to make out sometimes. I had to look up online what their names were after the movie. Everyone else that plays a major part in any Star Wars film had easy to remember names, but this one had names I couldn't make out. Maybe on a second or third watch I could get them all together.

- First act of the movie was brought together rather terribly and I didn't like how in one scene we see Jyn in prison for about 10 seconds then it jumps to another planet with a main character for another 20 seconds or so then it jumps again. The reshoots for the movie may have played a part in this and unfortunately it showed big time here.

- On the rainy planet where Jyn is climbing the tower to get to her father, she gets to the top, barely even touches a Stormtrooper's foot, and he hilarious falls to his death. I chuckled at this part cause it looked really dumb.

- The music was pretty lackluster throughout the movie. Some of it was okay, but some of it was pretty bland and boring. When Jyn and Cassian were climbing the archives terminal, there was an odd sounding song playing here. I think they shouldn't have had any music playing during this part. Another thing, we see Cassian get shot in this same area, tumble down and hits a bunch of bars on the way down, and still was able to catch up to Jyn on top of the tower to shoot Krennic.

- Last but not least, WHERE THE FUCK WAS PORKINS IN THAT SPACE BATTLE?? THEY HAD THE OTHER GUYS BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE PORKINS! YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME!!
Spoiler
I don't really understand how that tentacle monster even works. It looks like an animal and not a sentient alien to me, so how does it even tell you it knows the person is telling the truth. And why doesn't the pilot guy lose his mind like he is apparently supposed to? He just goes like slightly eccentric at most.

I didn't like Whittaker as Saw. I think that character suffered a lot from the reshoots.
He didn't even seem like a crazy guy in the trailers, and seemed like he would be a main rebellion character

I actually thought it was a decent movie. Specifically the ending scene where all the rebels in the hallway get fucking Vadered. I'll go into more detail later.
I mean yeah I liked that Vader scene of course but it was like 45 seconds long, which made the other 2hrs 13m pretty long. It was the first movie I've seen where I checked my phone to see how long it had left so I could leave.

It's not a polished film, unlike TFA. From a creative perspective, I respect RO more than TFA though. Edwards at least tried to do something new. Characters aren't as good as TFA, but characters were also more important to that film because we will be stuck with them for two more movies.

Fanservice is there just like TFA, but TFA's was implemented more seamlessly. It's jarring here. Feels like Disney Corporate decisions IMO.

They adapted an old EU concept
Spoiler
Bast castle; Vader lives in the dark land of Mordor when he's not bitch slappin' rebel scum

Also the very very end of the film is ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL.
I do agree that it's good they at least tried to do something different. But I swear the same thing happened here like with Suicide Squad with reshoots changing characters' involvement, and the general flow of the movie for the worse.
