So anyone having seen the movie remember seeing these: https://shop.lego.com/en-US/First-Order-Heavy-Scout-Walker-75177?

Only place I can think was the battering ram.  But they didn't look anything like this LEGO set.  Kind of reminds me of the Kylo Ren Command Shuttle fail.

Yes the lego set is way too small, that was the only place I saw them.

I have to ask, because I see this sentiment all the time. What is it exactly that makes Rogue One a good film?

entire movie without those two, if you are skilled in editing you can try to make a seperated cut for yourself.

I adore felicity jones and I think she is a good, beautiful actress. But to me she didn't fit well as a heroine in this movie. babyface killer.
the guy on the right ruined this movie entirely with his poor acting and hard to believe role. he felt like he was reading his lines rather than playing them on the screen.
but the ending of the film is just incredible and vader scene is one of the best in the SW genre.

Along those lines, what's up with 75204 Sandspeeder?  Also not in the movie.

fixed that for you.

Fail with the Kylo Ren Shuttle was a different pair of shoes.

People were saying this was as good as Empire....blasphemy!

I decided to go back this evening to watch the late show in a mostly empty theatre.  And I must say, the luster of the first viewing had worn off, and if this film doesnt' win a raspberry then something is wrong. It's terrible.  And the second viewing reminded me of when I went back to see the Phantom Menace a second time, because I thought maybe I was delusional from not really completely enjoying my first viewing.  This film is bad.

Watched it in Real3D yesterday with the family. Thoroughly enjoyed it, as in: 

1. It wasn't predictable (some interesting twists)

2. Tons of battles and explosions :)

3. Some nice little jokes, such as Luke's shoulder swipe

SW has always had lots of things in it where you think "why did they do this if they had all this technology". I'm not a fanboy, so my expectations are realistic - fun, wholesome entertainment, and don't overthink it because you'll find more holes in it than in a block of Swiss cheese .....

I figure that 10% of Star Wars fans wouldn't approve of new films no matter what, nostalgia goggles get in the way. Remember, if you make a film based on what fans want you end up with Snakes On a Plane. 

I saw it, I enjoyed it, it kept you guessing, it wasn't esb v2 and I want a UCS Dreadnought asap.

According to Wikipedia, it has slipped to 5th place on best opening weekends from 2nd best opening day.

Not quite sure how Fate of the Furious beat TFA, but that´s another story.

I think due to hype a lot of people were put off trying to get to see it on the first weekend. Plus being so close to christmas lots of people have prior commitments. Which probably explains why FOTF (released when we're all bored in April) beat TFA.

I don't really understand the release date to be honest when Disney wants to sell as many toys as possible. If your child doesn't see the film until the week before Xmas what's the chances of TLJ toys being on Xmas lists.

So many poor movies on that list. It's the power of a recognized brand for most of them.
