Rogue One (SPOILERS)

[JediJman]

Well, now we've seen the gist of the movie.

Except where the Death Star partially explodes...because this is the ROTJ Death Star, they were building two at once. The one in ANH was ready to go, the Rogue One station is being repaired in ROTJ. The Empire refused to acknowledge the sabotage from the events of Rogue One and spun some PR "new Death Star" campaign.

I think its pretty clear that they were building two death stars at once and the Rebels only explode one of them in this movie.  If I'm not mistaken, it is a Rebel surface-to-air missile that ricochets off an AT-ACT into space, hitting a weak point.  Then the other gets destroyed in ANH.  Then they used the fragments from both to build the third death star for ROTJ.  In Episode 8, they will create a 4th death star powered by the Starkiller Sun, which can transform into a giant robot named Unicron.  This is all "rumor" for now, but just wait.

I can't wait for the new batch of Star Wars Transformers.  They'll be all the rage because kids love Star Wars and Transformers... and a bit of Angry Birds and Army Men mixed in to boot.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Featurette

And Royal Guards, anyone?

When the teaser trailer first came out I saw this image and it was one of the most compelling images of the lot.  What was this?  Was it some sort of chamber for the Emporer since there are Royal Guards flanking it?  A bacta tank?  Some variation on Vader's meditation chamber?

But now I'm about 2/3rds of the way through Catalyst.  I'll admit it, I'm listening to it via Audible since time to read is at a premium, and listening to the audio book in the car has proven to be far cooler than I anticipated.  Be that as it may, the plot of the book has me convinced that this is in fact ***POSSIBLE MAJOR SPOILER*** a giant Kyber crystal that's being utilized for the Death Star's super-laser, as designed by Galen Erso.  And it seems very likely that the Empire has been mining these crystals on Jedha. ***POSSIBLE MAJOR SPOILER***

How do sites not anticipate traffic on ticket sales...screw Fandango

[Diddly]

Currently waiting in a virtual line of over 6000 people to get tickets from Alamo Drafthouse, but all I really want is the Mondo pint glass 

[Jesse James]

Fandango was a shitsmear last year too and I wound up getting them through the theater more easily.

How do sites not anticipate traffic on ticket sales...screw Fandango

I purchased my ticket for Thursday Night through Cinemark.com.  It was slow, but it went through.  I like that IMAX now has reserved seating, so I was able to pick which seat I wanted.

I couldn't get tickets for the next day when I take my oldest son...but I was able to use Fandango for those.  Getting both sets of tickets took me about 20 minutes.

45 minutes later, my fan alert from Fandango came through alerting me that tickets for Rogue One were available for purchase.   

[EdSolo]

I'm glad the theater that I go to has their own site.  Got tickets for two shows in minutes.  It took me longer to type in my info twice than it did for the order to go through.

[Diddly]

Got my seats... and the Mondo pint glass for me and Former Jedidefender Poster Famine.

Gonna try and swing an IMAX showing but will probably wait for January

[Scott]

Famine?  Sandwich Baron Famine?

[Diddly]

Kevbo himself! He's coming to visit in January

[Jesse James]

No ****?
