The bacta tank scene was in the very first trailer so it definitely wasn't an add-on or reshoot, which leads me to believe that Mustafar & Vader's Castle ties into the larger SWU, i.e. Star Wars Rebels as well as Episode VIII & IX. |

After seeing Rogue One, I think that I may have figured out the identity of Rey's mother. I'll post as spoilers in all three Star Wars threads, even though these are "Spoiler" threads.
Spoiler!

I doubt we get a Vader tale on the big screen simply because that is some major heavy duty lifting to execute a great script that works within the continuity of the established films and doesn't involve a bunch of actors all far too old to reprise roles- though Tarkin is an epic digital achievement, I don't think it would be wise to lean heavily even more on multiple CGI reprisals.
Spoiler!
Who knows? Perhaps a story that takes place right after Episode III would be the best window of opportunity? The addition of the standalone films certainly makes the absence of the original trilogy characters a much more feasibly acceptable premise now! I'm not even saying I disliked it, but you have to agree it doesn't serve this story unless it is setting up future narratives. Oh, and the 1 scene that really failed IMO was the sappy conversation between Jyn & Cassian about 3/4 of the way through when they're in the hanger (?). I seriously thought the dialogue sounded like they had Lucas come in and write the scene, because it was such a weak exchange between 2 otherwise smart characters who are both survivors of war in spite of tremendous personal loss. It was reminiscent of some of the Padme & Anakin dialogue. I'm probably not referencing the scene all that clearly, so maybe someone else knows which scene I'm talking about and can better pinpoint it down. Either way, it's my minor quibble with an otherwise fantastic execution of the SWU standalone franchise.

Darth Vader!!
Movie was great, but I have one problem with Vader. Remember what the Michael Meyers mask looks like. The neck portion of the mask. It was all loose, and looked bulky fitting over his clothes.
That's what Vader looked like. All his apparel from the neck down was almost tucked under the big bulky neck of Vaders helmet. Compare RO Vader with this video: (forward to last few seconds of video) At least in this video the helmet and suit are 'connected'. Heres quick shot of the new vader:

Saw it again today. Took my dad, who has never seen a Star Wars movie, and the kids. Non 3D and I think the non 3D version is better.

that's a trailer
in the film they fixed it with CGI movie kicked ass BTW, I lost my shit when Red Leader and Gold Leader came back up in that ass like the resurrection....Gareth Edwards needs to do Episode 9 BRING UP A ****ING HAMMERHEAD also they nailed Tarkin....great bit of casting picking a dude who looks a bit like Cushing (guy henry) and then CGI'ing the hell outta his face |

I saw it really late last night and need to see again to have more thoughts. Wasn't as excited going in as I was like last year with thinking even more backstory and tired of deathstar superweapons but thought most of it was pretty great. Fortunately one the top screens in my city, AMC Dolby Cinema, managed to have it without 3D which made it an even better experience.
CGI Tarkin was pretty distracting. |

So the Peter Cushing thing is starting to bring up some controversy
What's to stop Hollywood from making a new blockbuster movie starring John Wayne, River Phoenix or Heath Ledger?? http://variety.com/2016/film/news/ro...gi-1201943759/
