One of the greats, what a mind

One of the greats, but no mention of Rogue One since his Koppelman interview.

(1) Get on with it. As the masters say, enter the scene as late as possible. Why am I sitting through the opening titles? (2) Stop censoring everyday language. We're adults here. (3) 16:30. You mislabeled Supremacy as Identity. Get someone to edit these clips who actually knows the films. (4) Personal opinion: Legacy throws everything away in the third act by making it a silly bike chase. Maybe Gilroy had lost control of the final cut by then. I mean, why would a master screenwriter who comes up with this brilliant idea (in his opinion) wreck his own film?
