Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Colby H — 20 Apr 2017

When Rouge One: A Star Wars Story came out, people were excited to see the installment that filled in the gap between episodes 3 and 4, and it lived up to that excitement. It didn't disappoint. It stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, and Mads Mikkelsen. This is the movie of the mission to steal the plans to the Death Star. It is the best Star Wars prequel to come out by-far. The flow of the story follows a more realistic tone to the series. It also brought in a new cast, and new characters. The ones that weren't the main protagonists were kind of forgettable, but the main ones were somewhat compelling. It is a very small complaint. It also had pretty good CGI. I can easily see why someone would dislike Rouge One. It could be for a lack of nostalgia. It could be because of slim character-development. I thought that the characters a decent amount of development. I also thought that it was packed with nostalgia, especially during the third act.

I loved it.

Over all, Rouge One: A Star Wars Story was a prequel that we actually cared about. 4/5 stars.
