But good try, Iro.

Is that right? I didn't know that.

No one except people from Denmark seems to know that.

It always sounds so dumb when they say maDs mikkelsen. Ugh.

It could be that we think it's being sounded when it isn't . I remember Stellan Skarsgård saying it in an interview with Mikkelsen and there did seem to be a D or T sound in there – but he was dragging the name out for comic effect .

I'm not keen to see this one in the cinema, I'm still sour on TFA, the trailers aren't selling it for me. I'd see Star Wars from the perspective of the empire though.....................

Well this is stupid -

Alt-Righters are now boycotting Rogue One because one random guy spread a lie saying the Writers Rewrote the Film's ending to attack Trump winning.

How lame is this world?

Look on the bright side - now the lines will be shorter and you don't have to be stuck in a movie theatre with neo-Nazis.

When are they letting critics watch this thing? Only 4 days to go. Very big moment for the planned Star Wars spinoffs.

I imagine that there's an embargo of sorts that prevents critics from releasing their opinions until the release date. Pretty sure that happened with Force Awakens as well.

Today is the day.

Short thoughts coming tomorrow (indeed there's an embargo, so I can't comment on it until tomorrow)

If you want to boycott, boycott because Disney politicized Star Wars.

Star Wars was always political, these clowns are only just realising that it's political in a way that they hate.

Do we have to go through this political stuff again? I went through this crap once already when they tried to say Revenge of the Sith was about George W Bush. And George Lucas himself said that was dumb.

Two of the writers are Uber liberal and can't shut up on Twitter. Big deal. They work in Hollywood, this should be a shock to no one. I will judge the movie based on its own merits.

That being said I am more excited about episode eight then I am Rogue One which I am not all that excited about.

If still in doubt... here he pronounces it himself.

Generally quite positive scores.

RT has 81%, 100 positive and 20 negative reviews.

Metacritic 66 score, 27 positive, 12 mixed and 1 bad review.

It's not in doubt, I was thinking about how I may have misconstrued the pronunication .

I am going to see it soon, it seems it was better received than I had expected.

I had hoped it would be good, but lots are giving it really good scores. It's not often that a spinoff is getting good ratings, we might finally get a Star Wars prequel worthy of the title.

I just asked my son how Luke Skywalker got to be Darth Vader and he facepalmed his way out of the room, LOL
