Diverse Fan Reactions to Rogue One - Guest Post By Patty Hammond

It has been almost a week since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has been released and many reviews have been posted by a variety of media outlets. Today, I want to share with you a variety of reactions to Rogue One from fans I know via social media.

I asked for short reactions, limited to two sentences, and will present them by their first name, their profession and what Generation they belong to. Hopefully, you will enjoy these diverse reactions from my social media friends about Rogue One.

Greta, Retired, Baby Boomer Generation

“Rogue One is a great addition to the Star Wars story, giving much more depth and urgency to ANH. But (sorry) it didn't grab me the way The Empire Strikes Back did.”

Kate, Marketing Professional, Millennial

“After the initial shock of a saga-less Star Wars I became increasingly more captivating by Rogue One. The emotional intensity, dazzling special effects and climactic ending cemented this film into a solid start for the first of many Star Wars stories to come.”

Amy, Mother/Direct Support Professional, Millennial

“Rogue One was visually stunning, but some of the choices that the story made did not resonate with me. This film left me feeling defeated and emotionally exhausted and multiple viewings aren't going to happen for me.”

Pippa, Author, Generation X

“Rogue One is a must-see for even non-Star Wars fans, but be prepared for gritty realism and tragedy. Dark, action-packed and no sugar coating: this is a true war film and will change your view of A New Hope forever.”

Viv, Writer, Generation X

“Rogue One was the prequel I wanted all those years ago, a story more about characters and struggle than set pieces and silliness. It is one with the Force.”

Christina, stay-at-home-mom, Millennial

“Rogue One was the prequel I always wanted because it answered all the questions I had at the beginning of A New Hope, but soon forgot because that story didn't require them. While not my favorite or least favorite Star Wars movie, it does fit perfectly with all the rest.”

Stewart, Marketing Manager, Millennial

“Rogue One mostly eschews the mythological and ramps up the reality, yet maintains that sense of Star Wars wonder. I felt as if I was living Rogue One in the cinema; I'm still living it after multiple viewings as I mainline Michael Giacchino's score and consume the related books.”

Connie, Teacher, Generation X

"I love all the nuances of Rogue One and believe that it's a worthy addition to the Star Wars mythology. My perspective of A New Hope is forever changed for the better because of Rogue One. 9/10 😊"

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut...
