I thought the exact opposite lol.
It kinda looked like ps4 graphics.
Tarkin was great anyway.

I am on an adrenaline high right now after just getting back so I decided to watch Episode IV right now. 
I finished Catalyst just before seeing the movie and I was invested in the Erso's so much.
Book Spoilers
Now on to the movie
I finished Catalyst just before seeing the movie and I was invested in the Erso's so much.
Book Spoilers
Galen calling Jyn "Stardust" is straight from the book.
I was expecting Lyra to get killed very early on but man she is such a great character in the books.
Tarkin and Krennic have a serious rivalry in Catalyst and love that they showed some of that in the film.
Galen's halogram's message hit me hard after knowing all they went through as a family.

Now on to the movie
1st act was a bit shaky but once they get to Jedha to find Saw Gerrera the film just did not let up. The final act was flames.
I was worried Vader's only scene would be choking Krennic, but I am so glad he had his moment to shine at the end.
Galen, as we suspected, would be the one to plant the weakness in the Death Star
I enjoyed the entire cast, and actually thought CGI Tarkin and Leia worked.
The CGI Red Leader and Gold Leader were the ones that bothered me for some reason.
More to come later as I digest the film more.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I'm hearing, it makes me want a Bardock (Goku's dad) movie so bad.

Is Catalyst the book adaptation of the movie? Or does it expand deeper into the characters?
I thought that was spliced footage from Episode IV? That was my immediate reaction.

Ah, yes... the most obvious one!
But I knew they were gonna be in it. In fact, I expected them to have a bigger role! RIP Kenny.
But anyway... Vader... how freaking insane was that last bit. Incredible that we've had to wait THIS long to see him in his "prime"... and it's in a movie that's not even part of the main films!

I agree with what you said about the score. It'd feel familiar but then switch up to something I wasn't familiar with. You NEEDED the Imperial March in there.
And you guys already know how I feel about X-Wings. Watching them in action was beautiful. LOVED the nod to Blue Squadron
yeah, something about that floating CGI face thing that doesn't convince me. They sounded great though.
I wonder how much easier Red and Gold Leader's were though. I mean, it those two look like they were lifted right out of 1977. Porkin's may have been too expensive

This is EXACTLY what I said after watching last night. Ep3 should've been mostly Vader doing that to Jedi. But George lost his balls, and had a bunch of yes men around him instead of people like Harrison Ford and Kirshner who would call him on his BS.
Oh well. IMAX tonight, and I feel like I'll enjoy the second viewing even more.
Peace,

"Does he look like a killer?"
Donnie was a lightsaber away from being an official Jedi

Yeah, man. That thing is a beast. This is where I am right now, Issue # 8 out of 100

That DeLorean looks dope too but I already have the Hot Toys 1/6 version so I'm skipping on that build. Looks fun though, maybe I'll build it and sell it to someone. I know there's people who get paid to build this stuff for people, I wish someone would need my help like that
They really need to make a "Build a Slave 1" though. That's my dream studio scale model.

I wonder if the DeAgostini version will look better than the Hot Toys...

I'm back! Watched Rogue One last night. I enjoyed it... probably slightly better than TFA for me, which puts it in 4th place.

Issue #100 just came out a couple weeks ago and I've seen people finish theirs already and I think while ok, it does need someone who's nice with airbrushing to take it to that next level.
Here's a comparison shot I took for an artist I was talking to about eventually weathering mine when I'm done. I plan on turning the DeAgo MF into a Force Awakens version since it's dumb to have two. But as you can see, the DeAgo turret section(left) could definitely use some extra weathering like the Master Replicas (right) one.

You'll have to send me shots of the Hot Toys one whenever they display it out there again.

Sinner
Catalyst takes place right after Episode II and ends right before Rogue One. Explores the backstory of Galen, Lyra, and Krennic.

I dug the movie I'd put it above all of the prequels but not on the same level as the other four, ending felt a little sloppy and I think they should've made krennic darker but overall I'm satisfied
what was up with how the death troopers talked? I was expecting them to be alot more menacing they turned out to be not so fierce just another storm trooper really, loved seeing Tarkin and all the pilots that was dope af , and finally vader is a savage I only wish he would've had a little more screen time [/spoilers]

Overall I enjoyed the movie very much. I agree that the theatrical score was a bit lacking, but it did its job. The action sequences were phenomenal and the sense and scale of war was done well. I enjoyed the characters and most of their arcs, but do agree that some of them could have been more developed. All in all, the story that was told was one that I was interested in and enjoyed how it ties in to the existing lore and universe.
I would like to get a second viewing in though.
7/8

The film was cool. A great nod to ANH and so many references but...
But pretty good film. Like mentioned earlier, another story could've been told but I'm impressed that's Disney chose to tell a story so bitter sweet with the "sweet" being the knowledge of being the lead in to ANH. C CP1708 this is still your ship. I will take my L, season it and let it marinate overnight and then prepare it for consumption....but Rey is still Luke's daughter
Coolest reference
Grand Moff Tarkin looked weird, def the uncanny valley feel watching him
Movie dragged and rumor has it that the Vader scene at the end was part of the reshoots. The movie without that scene....isn't that great, let's be honest
A Star Wars film without a John Williams score? Where they do that at? Let's make a movie all about the empire and no Imperial March score
Vader's neck/part of his helmet bothered me. It looked so fat. Bacta tank swelling or nah?

Far better than TFA. The first SW movie that actually felt like a "war" film. The retroactive storytelling was very cleverly done. Can't wait to see it again.

I dunno - I thought the conflict in him was interesting - although not fully developed. He wasn't just a monster he was a bureaucrat who seemed a bit naive to how truly evil the empire was.
