MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD – Steve’s Notes
1.
Erso homestead – blue milk
a.
Gelen, Lyra, Jin Erso
2.
Krennic: we were so close to peace (or
something similar). Galen Erso: “You’re confusing peace with terror.”
Krennic: “Well, you have to start somewhere.”
3.
Planet #1: Jedha (sound like Jedi)
a.
Original Wookie design is a member of Saw
Guerrera’s extremist group
b.
Buildings on Jedha look like Jabba’s palace,
or buildings on Theed – McQuarrie influence
4.
Planet #2: Wobani (anagram for Obi Wan)
a.
Imperial labor camp – we find Jin (?)
5.
Planet #3 Yavin 4 – Rebel Alliance HQ
a.
Jin going by the name Leanna Hallick – meaning?
b.
Dodanna, Mom Mothma, Bail Organa in the war
room!!
c.
Mon M: Saw G’s efforts have given the alliance
problems – refers to a defected pilot held by Saw’s group
d.
Jin recognizes Bail Organa when he walks in –
because he’s a senator/celebrity?
e.
The rebel observation tower for ships
coming/going is awesome
6.
Saw: First time we see Saw – looking down at
Jin in the rock hideout – he’s bald. Later, lots of hair
a.
Saw – robotic legs, oxygen mask sounds like
Vader – is he analogous to vader only on the light side?
7.
First shot of Star Destroyer in front of Death
Star – has to be a model – doesn’t look digital
8.
Tarkin
a.
Reflection in the window
b.
Shading and wrinkles – looks amazing, perfect
match – shifing jaw as he “acts” with expressions
c.
Did Stephen Stanton (Clone Wars, Rebels) voice
him?
9.
“Truth monster” – Por Gallet? (Can’t
understand Saw)
a.
“Per Gallet knows the truth, but one tends to
lose one’s mind.” Is that why Bode Rook is a little off?
10.
On Jedah
a.
Mos Eisley Cantina guys pass Jin and Cassian.
“You just watch yourself”. Thought the camera hung there a little long, 2nd
time wasn’t as bad – the line was the obvious callback
b.
Empire is stripping the planet of Kiber
Crystals
c.
Chirrut Emway (Donnie Yen) Baze Malbus (Jaing
Wen). Jin asks Cassian who they are. “They are guardians of the Whills.”
There to protect the crystals
i. Chirrut
“The force is with me, I am with the force”; uses senses to “see”; uses
stormtroopers as human shield; sits on troopers back to reflect that there
are no jedi here anymore
ii.
“Are you kidding me? I’m blind” – great line
d.
Jin saves the girl – she’s a hero
e.
Cassian shoots the extremist, holding bomb
11.
Jin changes over the course of the film from
“[Seeing the emperial flags reign over the galaxy] is not a problem is you
don’t look up.” to fighting to steal the plans
a.
Hallogram of her father, reveals the flaw in
Death Star, as the Death Star destroys Jedha city and almost her
b.
Krennic: “Oh, it’s beautiful.” He’s a monster
c.
Cherrut uses the force again: “The force moves
darkly around a creature that is about to kill.”
d.
Why does Cassian disobey orders and not kill
Galen when he has a clean shot? The
force?
12.
Side question: where is the 2nd
death star at this point?
Facebook link about why the 2nd
death star took a fraction of the time to build – the power source – they
just had to duplicate what Galen Erso did, he took a lot longer to figure it
out
13.
K2SO – a moment when he looks stop motion,
walking from the crashed ship
14.
Vader’s castle – Mustafar? Not named in the
movie. Lava flowing.
a.
Vader is critical of the Death Star from the
beginning: “It’s power to create problems has been confirmed.”
b.
“Be careful not to choke on your aspirations.”
A pun! So now vader is 3PO. “I’m beside myself.”
15.
Bail returns to Alderan – and we all know what
happens in about 90 minutes.
16.
Planet: Scarif – imperial database
a.
As rebels in stolen imperial transport fly in,
Jin meditates on kyber crystal necklace – coincidence or help from the force?
b.
ID of stolen ship is SW0608 – significant?
17.
Mace and Cherrut: like R2 and 3PO
18.
Scarif battle
a.
Blue leader destroyed, that’s why Blue
Squadron not in ANH (Great retcon)
b.
Bode’s character is a hero – originally meant
to betray the rebels?
c.
Xwing POV from behind the astromech droid –
awesome
d.
Troops jump out of the transport – “for
Jedha!”
e.
Red 5 gets killed in battle – Luke becomes Red
5 in ANH battle of yavin
f.
Cherrut Emway protected by the force as he
walks to hit the power switch to connect the com link?
19.
Data bank battle scene – door slides up
revealing bad guys including Krennic – like rope swing with Luke and Leia in
the death star
20.
Hammerhead corvette shoves the disabled star
destroyer into the other, destroys the shield, allows the transmission of the
death star plans to take place
a.
For some reason, star destroyers crashing into
each other reminded of Star Trek
21.
Cool shot of the huge radar dish and the
catwalk for Jin to reset the intena alignment and transmit the plans –
awesome
22.
Krennic vs. Jin – he asks, “Who are you?” “I’m
the daughter of Gallen Erso…”
a.
“My father put a fust in the middle of your
[Death Star and I just sent a message to the universe on how to light it…]”
b.
Cassian comes back and saves her – now he’s
the hero
c.
When star destroyer breaks through the planet
shield and plans are broadcast – the score goes very soft, angelic – like the
Godfather scene when the leaders of the 5 families are shot
23.
A massive object is emerging from hyperspace –
the death star can travel via hyper space???
Did we know that?
24.
Cassian and Jin romance at the end? Doomed
lovers?
a.
“Your father would have been proud of you.”
The recurring theme for all SW movies – fathers and their sons and daughters
25.
The original ending was darker says Gareth
26.
Vader kicks ass
a.
His star destroyer blocks fleet from
hyperspace
b.
I counted 14 rebels that Vader kills in scene
at end
27.
Last line – Leia – “What have they given us?”
Leia: “Hope.”
a.
First view, thought it looked cartoonish but
then watched again and then ANH immediately after – it’s a very good match
