Next to the “Empire Strikes Back” this is my second favorite
Star Wars movie. Empire will always be number 1 because it introduced me to
Yoda. Rogue One was a bit of a slower moving, and dark movie compared to the
action oriented and feel good movies in the series. It was a well written
movie. It gave us a chance to meet various characters of the rebellion not just
see them fight. It answered a long time
stirring question (at least for me) about the original star wars movie and why the
death star had a fatal flaw. (this doesn’t answer that same question for the
Force Awakens) The movie showed that
anything worth doing requires risk and sacrifice. That is a message that I think is important
for our current world. I also saw a similarity
within the racial diversity of the rebellion leaders and fighters, and our own
country. Possibly, it idealized how we could unify our fractured competing
oppressions and join together to achieve a common goal of defeating the empires
in our lives. Lastly who doesn’t like a
wisecracking droid. “I am one with the
force, and the force is with me” May the force be with you.
