Quin Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Looks dope, but the trailer wasn't overwhelming. Loved watching Donnie Yen kick some ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it make you feel important because you're PC bro? That was only two characters. I'm just saying they don't get points for female characters, nor should they.

TaylorStSox Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Not that the female lead is a problem, but they did just have one. I did get a sense that they may have been forcing it in that regard, but Daisy Ridley was great so who cares. Honestly, that's such a weird thing to say.

Well, I see your point. I think that has 100% to do with it being a Disney operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, here's the thing. Even in the original movies (Ep 4-6), while it was certainly male-dominated, the lead female (Leia) had some badass traits. Now Ridley, who is kind of part of a dual-lead so far. Now we have what appears to be a truly lead female character. I'd say it's in-line with the evolutionary arc.

That darth vader and a bunch of dude characters will be in it. Having a female lead character makes perfect sense. It opens them up to love story angles and some balance. It should have nothing to do with PC. Edited April 8, 2016 by bmags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From one of the movies and books, they reference that many Bothans die trying to get this information. It's a source of pride among that planet. I wonder if they work that in or just go the human route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You would think after becoming the republic they would have made a priority to create a death star that can blow up death stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically, Rogue One could end with the plans being handed to Leia, right before the events that started A New Hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the Bothans are the first one with Leia discussing it in the first movie. I'll need to back and look at the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 So while reading up on the Battle of Korriban, it states the most valuable sith artifact in the tombs was a large hooded statue, is it possible this is the figure that was shown in Rogue One?
