Just saw Rogue One.
Wow. Where do I start. Let's start with: this could turn out to be one of my most favourite Star Wars films.
No it doesn't have any Jedi, nor the customary Jedi fight scene. But it had a lot of 'heart'. The story is more focussed. It doesn't flap about. There is a true beginning, a middle, and an end. All well contained in this 1 film unlike the other Star Wars films.
What I love most about this are the characters. I love all the ethnicities and what each bring to the 'Rogue One' team, all so colourful, all so memorable. All working harmoniously together as 1 with this unspoken 'bond'. My most favourite characters in this hands down has to be K-2. Oh man, he had the wit of C3PO, the technical knowhow of R2D2, but with the dry humor of [MENTION=40]Siro[/MENTION]? Haha.. I just couldn't stop laughing, easily one of the funniest Star Wars film as well for me.
The ending is certainly bittersweet (you'll see why), which means this one will stay with me for a while.
No, it's not 100% your typical Star Wars movie, but it didn't have to be, it had a heart that beats to its own tune, and what a wonderful tune it was.
