Rogue One (Movie Review)

Here is the setup from Wikipedia;

"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, or simply Rogue One, is a 2016 American epic space opera film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy, based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta. It was produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the first installment of the Star Wars Anthology series, set immediately before the events of the original Star Wars film. The cast includes Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. Rogue One follows a group of rebels on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star, the Galactic Empire's superweapon."

This is a stunning story and fits in perfectly with the Star Wars saga. I though the characters and actors were well done. The story is fast moving and keeps the watcher on the edge of his/her seat. The test of the super weapon was a great special affect and turned out to be a nice escape sequence. I really would have liked to see more of Darth Vader however he is not the core of the movie. The Death Star plans and the weakness build in by design was the focus. If you are a Star Wars fan as I am, you must watch.

The last scene with Princess Leia is priceless.....
