Rogue One

[Aroura]

I also appreciate how diverse the cast was, without feeling forced. Speaking of, the other characters I loved were Imwe and his buddy. I adore Donny Yen, and was thrilled to see him in a Star Wars film. His blind walk and subsequent death was actually pretty cool and touching as well.

That was his name, huh? The characters never really had a chance to develop too much. They felt secondary to the story (Force Awakens had a problem with the opposite) Here are the names I gave them in my head:

Mary Sue
Oberyn Martell
Sassy Robot (actually, K was a pretty easy one to recall)
Mind-Raped Pilot
Blind Dude
Attila the Hunn with a Gun
Director Keurig

Ha! That's hilarious! I agree that I learned almost none of their names during the film either. Even the lead, I was thinking of her as the engineers daughter for the first 30 minutes or so. She wasnt good enough at anything to be a Mary Sue. I did get her name eventually, as it was nice and easy, Jyn, but in my head I was hearing Jen (as in short for Jenny) for the whole film.

Attila the hun with a gun is funny!

I didn't know Imwe's name until I looked it up after the film. For the duration of the film, I thought of him as blind Donny Yen, lol. He's the only character I liked enough to go find his name afterward.

I actually remember when they are climbing the stupid data tower, and the guy falls, and Jyn/Jen calls out "Cassian!" I thought, oh, the lead males name is Cassian! Took me 2 hours to get it, lol.

I still have no idea what is the name of the pilot, the blond general, or Atilla the hun with a gun.

Yup, K was the only character aside from Jen (who's name I had wrong for the whole film) that I got before the end. Even the extremist guy I just though of as terrorist Forrest Whittaker.

Also, a few minutes into the film, I had a big forehead slap moment.

I had mine the next day. It didn't sit well with me that there was not a single Bothan amongst the infiltrators - then I was informed that my faulty memory notwithstanding, it was the data on the *second* Death Star that many Bothans died to steal.

Yes, I turned in my geek card.

Ha, this exact thing happened to my husband as well! As we got in the car to go home after the film, he was like, where were all the Bothans? When we got home, he looked it up, because I couldn't remember which film that line was in either, and we found out that was the second death star.
