Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Christopher K — 01 Jun 2018

Confusing. I spent the whole movie trying to figure out the point of this movie. It turns out this is chronologically Episode 3 1/2 and has nothing to do with the movie released a couple of years ago. It also has little to to with the Star Wars movies in that their is little use of the Force and no light sabers (except briefly by Darth Vader).

The CGI is impressive (or nauseating) as they reanimate figures who are dead in real life (Governor Tarkin, Princess Leia, the leader of the rebels and I don't know who else). Disney is obviously worried about getting their billion dollar investment in Lucas Films back as quickly as possible.

If they keep putting out installments like this they won't get it back at all.
