Now, one might argue that the film’s status as a “prequel” to the original trilogy is a concern, given the wallowing depths plumbed by the astonishingly dire Lucas-helmed Prequel Trilogy from the turn of the century, but now that the franchise has been wrested from the hands of its creator, Star Wars is in a very good position to recapture the allure, adventure and fun we’ve come to expect. Set immediately prior to 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope, Rogue One is intended as a stand-alone film designed to fill-in-the-gaps of the franchise’s sprawling mythology by giving us a glimpse into the events only hinted at in exposition in George Lucas’ original movie. The second of Disney’s Star Wars films, following JJ Abrams’ blockbusting The Force Awakens in 2015, Rogue One represents a departure for the feature films in that it’s not a continuation of the “Episode” films, revolving around the Skywalker family, but an anthology film – set within the Star Wars universe and features a whole new set of characters. It does not reveal specific twists or surprises, but does convey elements of the film’s plot that some readers might consider too revealing for their tastes. This review contains mild spoilers about Rogue One. Synopsis: A group of rebels attempt to steal the plans for the Empire’s new Death Star. Principal Cast : Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jian Wen, Forest Whitaker, Genevieve O’Reilly, Jimmy Smitts, Anthony Daniels, voice of James Earl Jones.
