You think Rogue One will do poorly?
I highly doubt it.

The real problem is the Disney knows they could film the i can has cheezburger cat and call it Star Wars and everybody would show up and pay millions of dollars.

So why even bother with trying?

R_1 will do fine, but doing all the fanfic just won't happen.

Not fanfic.
Plenty of canon to tell.

Too much. If you fans don't get behind 2-3 as the BEST OF THE BEST you'll miss a chance, I think.

Just entertain me, please.

Alright, someone please educate me here. I do not understand all the hate targeted at this film. I saw it and liked it for what it was.

Having said that, I am not a Star Wars fan (I am a Trekie). To me the Star Wars franchise is just a bunch of movies. I haven't seen the tv series, specials, collected the toys, comic books or read novels. But I have seen all the films.

Basically, "It's not the way we pictured it."

I agree on this one. That, and he is crying (!) at one point. Also, why is it early in the movie he's a complete bad-ass who can hold laser blasts in mid-air while carrying on a conversation, and can knock people out with the Force, but at the end fought to a stalemate with a tiny female with no training in the Jedi ways. I'm guessing he had trained. Made no sense.
The reason is - it's Disney feminizing a beloved franchise. "Must have a female fighter equal to the males! Check." "Males should be buffoons! Check."
I am an old fan of the Edgar Rice Burroughs books of Mars & the John Carter character, and they did the same thing to that movie, making Dejah Thoris a warrior princess. No, no, can't leave her as written, a damsel in distress, that won't fly anymore.
