Maybe the guy wearing the "Die Empire, Die" T shirt shouldn't have been your contractor.
That's a decent one-sentence summary of Rogue One, honestly.
Thanks.

I mean total planetary genocide is sort of the Empire's thing. The Impergium may do it much-much more often but the Empire does it with style.

Geonosis

Alderaan

Jedha (they kind of botched that one)

Hosnian Prime (we're counting the First Order even if it's more like a tribute band)

Now Mandalore

Lasan.

It's usually either off-screen or a clean little laser blast with no planet after is my point. Keeping it G rated. This was like a Future War clip from a Terminator movie.

Random aside but Disney is finally getting its money worth out of Star Wars and it's hilariously in its TV shows.

Yeah pretty much. Always has been. We just never saw it before aside from Alderann

I think it's a nice character touch that Din is trying just a liiittle too hard to be nice to droids. Really captures that overcorrection stage when you realize you're the asshole.

Aside from Spider-Man that's pretty much what every studio has to do now.

Just having seen the most recent episode (episode 6), I'm fairly excited about the direction they're taking. To me, it is taking a direction of essentially fixing some of the stuff from the sequel trilogy - not in the sense that they're going to somehow change or retcon what happened in those films, but that they're developing the background to some of the events in those films in a way that makes sense and ties them much more seamlessly to the original trilogy. I could write a lot more about this, but in the interests of avoiding spoilers I'll leave it at that for now.
