Almost every Star Wars fan remembers
the first scene, where the Rebel ship comes into the screen, followed
by the Imperial Star Destroyer. What you don't know is how they got
there. Now, “Rogue One” is your chance to find out.
The writers did a great job in creating
this film. If you are new to Star Wars, or just not extremely into
it, this movie tells a whole story from start to finish. However, if
you are someone who may even be able to chart out the Skywalker
family tree and how all the characters connect, then you will love
this too. There are several Easter Eggs, and name drops throughout
this movie that connect it to the Star Wars universe.
The acting in the movie is certainly of
top Star Wars caliber.
Although if the stories
do take place “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away” then
it is possible that the descendents of several characters go on to
travel to Earth and settle in Europe, because the number of English
accents continues to increase. That
is no way a negative, just a funny side note.
One
of my favorite parts of the production is the continuity to the
original trilogy. When “A New Hope” came out, it was full of
futuristic tech based on the 1970s view of the future. Since then,
the view has changed, but that doesn’t matter when the story takes
place earlier in the timeline. One of the issues with the story flow
from the prequel trilogy is
that the tech all looked newer than the original trilogy. They
really went the extra mile with “Rogue One” to make it fit.
The
writing, directing, production, and acting all come together to
create a fantastic movie experience. Like other Star Wars films, it
is a great combination of action and drama, with plenty of laughs
along the way. Many of
those laughs are thanks to one
of my favorite characters K-250. Every Star Wars story has a droid,
and he is a great addition to the cast. He is sort of a mix of R2-D2
and C-3PO. I imagine what he says is similar to what you would hear
if you could understand R2-D2’s beeps, with the addition of C-3PO’s
lack of tact for when to say it.
I
believe that if this
team was in place when they created Episodes I, II, and III, it
would have turned out so much better. “Rogue
One” is not an episode
in a trilogy, and they waste no time in showing you the difference,
but it is a part of the
timeline and connects some dots along the way. Whether
you are a full-on Star Wars expert, or someone just looking for a
great movie this is the one to see. Our
founder, Jeremy, would have definitely called this film “Amazing”
and I agree.
