Two more years... not sure I can wait that long!

Apart from doing sets based on junked vehicles, there's not a lot that was even in the movie. There was the quad jumper that got blown up or a TIE Fighter without the red stripe.

I was thinking that they hadn't really done a rebel command center for Yavin. They could make a dual purpose Resistance/Rebel command/control center with those blue screens.

I know.. it's pretty thin pickings at this stage in the game, and after 3 waves, we already have 13 sets, with 2 of those sets being the exact same replica with just different coloration. Honestly, at best I can only come up with potentially 4 new sets, and can think of 4 other smaller sets to stretch it out.  After that it gets razor thin. 

For all the faults of the prequels, the films were overloaded with new ideas and vehicle designs.  I guess, i'm ok with them not overloading every shot with something completely different and new just for the sake of selling merchandise, but on the same token hopefully Rogue One and Episode 8 have a little more innovation to them.

Not to mention the same designs with multiple color variations in order to sell more toys.

The kids and I found this sorta funny.

I hate to say this but there isn't anything innovative about Disney nowadays.  They are only interested in acquiring and milking properties.  TFA was an entertaining film as was Rogue One but there's nothing new or different about them.  Lucas for his screenwriting faults had a marvelous way of creating engaging worlds for his characters to exist in.

They literally killed every single character in a major motion picture but go ahead and keep on believing that Disney is not innovative. [emoji849]

What's innovative about killing off characters?  If you're talking about Han Solo then it's because Harrison Ford wanted out.  He's wanted to kill off the character for over 30 years.

I think he may have been referencing Rogue One.

He's talking about the entire cast of "Rogue One".

Harrison is a good actor but i don't know if you can credit him as an "entire cast"

He's talking about the entire cast of "Rogue One".

All of them die, no point me watching it now [emoji6]
