I heard Disney were initially worried about the music, because John Williams wasn't going to be involved with it. Well it now looks as if those worries were unfounded. The score's perfect!

To me the music sounds like typical post 2010s movie fare. It's good but not particularly memorable. YMMV of course.
I will echo what other people have said. This movie looks a lot better than the TFA. I can't wait to see it!

They did replace the composer very late in the process. IIRC, the particulars of the switch had people thinking that Disney wanted to move away from something 'different' and toward a more traditional SW soundtrack. Guess we'll see.
I think that also fueled rumors that the same dynamic was going on with the film...Edwards shot something that was kinda different, and Disney wanted traditional, hence the reshoots. Who knows?

I have to say, I'm looking forward to this far more than TFA. The trailers suggest that it will be a far superior movie. Don't get me wrong, I liked TFA just fine, but it did have some issues.

The trailer looks promising, I'm definitely looking forward to this one. It will be nice to revisit the time frame of the Rebel Alliance vs. the Empire again on film.
In fact, originally I was going to avoid TFA altogether... I'm glad I did watch it in the theaters...
I'm having the same feelings with this movie as well... I'll watch the trailers and feel a mix of awe and frustration... It looks cool and Star Wars-y... but its not the EU I learned to love.
Maybe in time this 'Disney/Lucas' approved Star Wars universe will grow on me... but I didn't see anything wrong with how the EU was.

It was messy, and full of contradictions, and got even messier and contradictionier after the Prequels came out and they suddenly had to try and work in all of George's retcons into the existing EU... While I enjoyed the EU, I'm vastly more in favour of a full universe that's built as a single continuity from the get-go, rather than the layered approach.

I actually quite enjoyed her books as well, although I felt that turning Boba Fett into the noble martyred hero was a little unnecessary.
I'm kind of hoping that, if the rumoured Boba Fett movie turns out to be true, that they go for 'Screw Up who just manages to maintain a big reputation' instead... I mean, he never actually accomplished anything in the original movies other than tailing the Millennium Falcon (and then capturing his bounty with the help of Darth Vader rather than on his own merits) and then getting kicked into a sarlacc by a blind guy... The Clone Wars series also sets him up as a bit of a fall guy - the other clones dislike him, his attempts to become a big-time bounty hunter all go awry. It would be awesome to see that continued as the story progresses... have him be a continual failure who everyone thinks is a badass, but who is always trying, and failing, to live up to his dead father's achievements and expectations.
That's much more interesting that the cookie-cutter hero that Traviss turned him into.

Would make sense as a plot point if the rumors of her dad having to help fix an energy problem are true. Is the whole "Death star is powered by Kyber crystals" thing still canon?

Okay, it's been a month since the d-usa's post but the movie is out now in places that are not the USA so I wanted to ask if anyone has seen it and if so, is it an original story or is it an amalgam of previous material like Abrams' movie was?

Is it out elsewhere in the world? I was pretty sure the worldwide release wasn't until Wednesday but I could easily be mistaken.

Make that two of us, I'd be so friggin happy if a movie made from Stormtroopers point of view had her involved in some way. Maybe skip/tone down the Mandalorian worship which gets grating from to time and I'd be pretty happy.
As for the movie, saw the trailer where Stormtroopers stand around getting beaten up by a blind dude with a stick, they never fired a shot, not even a pulse thing they used to subdue Leia, so meh, I've lost interest.
Edit: I'd also enjoy it if those black armored troopers (Death Troopers I think they're called) don't go the way of Captain Phasma, but Star Wars being Star Wars, I have absolutely no hope.

I was curious as well so I checked Wikipedia page on the movie and it said the world premier was on Friday but it is being released in "certain European" countries on December 14.

We get it on general release thursday (15th) because that's movie opening day down under. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.
Red carpet releases, when we have them, tend to be the Wednesday night.
As I understand it, movies are more likely to release on the friday in the US for the weekend.

Initial reports are that it is the best Star Wars film ever. I take that with a pinch of salt but I think it could be a good change of pace, a more adult war film set in the SW universe, less space fantasy and more 'realistic' action.
The first reviews of Rogue One are coming in and they've all been good to great, which gives me high hopes!
I'm a little worried because all of the reviews I've read have said it's "intense" and "mature" with one saying specifically not to take young children. My girls are 5 and 7 (almost 8) and while I'm not overly concerned with about what they watch (within reason, or course), I think I'm going to reschedule our Sunday movie time so I can see it first to make sure it's okay for them.

The Boy is 10, and a major Star Wars fan. He’s chomping at the bit to see this, but I need to get reliable reviews before I let him. Would love to catch it in the theater with him, but if it is too “adult” he can wait. My brother is going opening night to review it for his boys (9 and 8ish) so I’ll get one opinion from someone with their parent eyes on.

Thats probably a good thing. Plus its an excuse to see it twice.
We're waiting until the week of the 27th so things can calm down a little. I think it will be a blowout for the next two weeks.

Reviews seems to be trending just kind decent overall. Metacritic has it at a 67. Sounding a little like some of the 'seams' are showing from the reshoots and Disney's involvement?

Metacritic isn't much use for things. Rotten Tomatoes tends to be a better guide as it uses the critics, not just whatever. There could be crazy #DumpStarWars idiots posting bogus 1% reviews somewhere to drag it down.
And I'm seeing it Saturday, and probably Sunday. Friend of mine from work saw the midnight screening and said it was everything we wanted from a SW movie. Can't wait!

It is a PG-13 movie after all.
