Yesterday, I went to see Star Wars Rogue One. Because you are all dying to know my “expert opinion.”

It’s good. It’s really good. I don’t want to discuss the story, because “spoilers” but it takes place before Star Wars IV and shows the attempt to steal the plans of the Death Star.

It is a darker Star Wars movie, and at the same time it manages to be less stiff. It takes itself less seriously, which is proven by comedy relief characters that are actually funny. It’s definitely darker than the other Star Wars movies, showing a side of the Rebels that hasn’t been touched in the previous movies. They aren’t all do-gooders that are oh so scared of the big, evil Empire.

The attempt to make the “Star Wars Stories” stand out was definitely a succes. The story was gripping, fun and emotional. My Troll sister was teary eyed near the end of the movie because stuff happened. I, too, was feeling a wee bit emotional.

It’s good, guys. Like, really really good. If you like Star Wars you’ll really like this one. There are some elements of a Star Wars movie that are ‘missing’ but they make sense story wise and are more than made up for by the story and the other characters.

I rate Star Wars: Rogue One four out of five light sabers. Or, if you are more familiar with my other ranking, four out of five Lennie’s.

If you like Star Wars or just good sci-fi movies, go see it. The force is with me, and I am with the force.

ROGUE Troll out.
