Star Wars fan boys and girls can breathe a sigh of relief, as Rogue One — the first major franchise spinoff — has debuted to rave reviews.
Despite fan unease over a series of reshoots earlier this year, the film reportedly received a standing ovation following its premiere at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, prompting many in attendance to take to social media to share their (spoiler-free) praise for the latest galaxy, far, far away installment.

Holy Sith! @RogueOneMovie is unbelievably wonderful! No lie: it is #EmpireStrikesBack great! An excellent chapter in the @starwars Universe!
12:20 AM - 11 Dec 2016 Here’s what audiences members had to say about Rogue One, which tells the story of Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and the band of rebel fighters that join her on a mission to steal the plans for the Imperial Death Star.

The Force Awakens sucked Bantha Balls!
“The Force Awakens sucked Bantha Balls!”
I watched about 20 minutes of it and had to turn it off. It was terrible!
I have no idea what the plot is, but I’ll take a wild guess — young person without training manages to blow up the Death Star while robots provide comic relief.
“...young person without training manages to blow up the Death Star while robots provide comic relief.”
As an added bonus, come wrapped in anti-Trump memes.
Glad I’m not the only one who thought so.
The Dirty Dozen in Space
The Dirty Dozen in Space
but Affleck was da bawym in Phantoms yo!
Gene Roddenberry always described star trek as westerns set in space...
If only it were that cool.
Fixed:
The multicultural dirty dozen in space vs the evil white racist storm-Trumpers.
Dang It!
We said NO SPOILERS!..............
Kevin Smith also flipped his wig for The Phanom Menace:
“Of the film, I can say many things. But the long and short of it is that I liked it — quite a bit. I’d rank it right after Empire in a list of fave Star Wars flicks. It starts great, ends great, and has great stuff sprinkled in between.”
Except TNG was like Community College staff meetings in space.
Kevin wants to make sure he is on the vip guest list for Episodes 8 and 9!
No kidding. They beat Seinfeld in the “show about nothing” category.
And they will all rank right next to Empire...
A bunch of the “Have Gun Will Travel” episodes were written by Roddenberry. After seeing his name on one I thought - “Heh - these are JUST like Star Trek!”
Suave, lady’s man, smart and good fighter good guy.
Get’s call for help from underdog people trying to go about their lives.
Evil bad guys.
Good guy wins in the end.
Well yes and no. That Death Star destroyer would be Luke Skywalker. These young people are attempting to steal the plans all new main characters though Darth Vader is supposed to be in it. This is supposed to be JUST before the 1977 movie
