Rogue One: A Star Wars Story



Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rating 8.5 out of 10

You might remember from my review that I didn't really care for the last Star Wars movie.  It was bloated, predictable and not very good.  I am glad to say this movie is none of that.  Rogue One moves right along at a zippy pace, has a great cast and WAY better than the last Star Wars movie.

If you haven't seen the original Star Wars since 1977 I'll remind you that the key to young Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star and saving all the good guys was someone slipping the information to Princess Leia where the weak spot was.  She then gave the plans to R2D2.  This movie  explains how they got those plans.

Young Jyn watches her father being hauled away by some of Darth Vadar's henchmen.  He has the knowledge on how to build the Death Star. Jyn escapes and takes on crazy jobs until fifteen years later when she joins the revolution.

The cast is spot on.  There are some very funny scenes.  Some touching scenes.  Good action. Good movie.  I was entertained.
