Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Dustin D — 07 Jun 2017

Rogue One had a heart-pounding final act, but the movie was mostly tedious. Too many characters who weren't fleshed out, and the only death that had any weight was the robot's. It added a little to the mythology (like the Dreamers--those who can use the Force, but aren't Jedi), while not detracting from the series, which makes it better than the other prequels.

It definitely doesn't work as a stand-alone movie, despite what the ads say. I have a feeling the uninitiated would find this confusing and boring.
