Rogue One: A Star Wars Story


Nerds of the world unite!  Another Star Wars movie smashing box office records is upon us, and its not disappointing!  If you are confused, and not sure of the order of these films, let me simplify it for you.  Part one is actually number 4 then stems into 2 sequels.  Rogue one isn't part of the actual original trilogy but takes place between part 3 (actually number 4) and just before part 4, number 1.  The film that came out just before this one was actually part 7, which catches us up in chronological order if you don't include Rogue One (part 3 1/2).  See, easy and clear.  This movie was really good and the way it tied up a number of loose ends was excellent.  The story was a little more involved than most of the others but had a great pay off.  Good acting and characters with some cool depth and some open ended avenues they can go.  I would give you some theory's but don't want to get killed by the purists.  I did think there were a few parts that were a little slow, but WOW, did Darth Vader save the day!!!!  The few scenes he was in were absolutely outstanding.  If you like any part of the Star Wars saga, check this one out.  It will be well worth it.

FYI:  Actors cut from casting: Joel Edgerton, Taylor Kitsch, Dominic West, Sam Worthington, and Gerard Butler.  Budgeting???
