As you know, if you follow my blog, I like to post
posters from the movie I'm blogging about. |
I went and saw Rogue One since I'm a big Star Wars fan. I have them all on DVD. I tried not to mention anything that could be a spoiler since some people still haven't seen it yet. When I went and saw it, I absolutely loved it. It was actually surprised when Darth Vader was in it. It made perfect sense, I mean, this was after all right before A New Hope, so he was out there doing the terrible things that he did. But since A New Hope was filmed back in the 70's, I wouldn't have been surprised if it had just not shown him, and mentioned him as a side note. I know right before it came out, there were some people I know that wasn't sure how it was going to come out since it wasn't going to have any of the usual main characters in it, but that wasn't a problem for me. I still enjoyed it. I also love the effects with Grand Moff Tarkin and the younger Princess Leia. I watch a lot of movies, but I hadn't realized that technology had come that far. Especially since I've heard that Tarkin's original actor has been dead for a while now, and yet he appeared in the new movie. That's quite a momentous accomplishment. The end of it, I felt, really played right into the opening of A New Hope. And the showing of some charactors, even if they're some more or less minor ones (with the exclusion of Darth Vader and Princess Leia) added to the continuity between Rogue One and the rest of the movies.
I've got planned that once Episodes VIII and IX have come out, plus the other two movies which I'm not sure what they're going to be about, I'm going to start at Episode I and watch every single one of them in chronological order. Meaning in the order of Episodes I, II, III, Rogue One, Episodes IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and finally IX, which hasn't come out yet. Obviously I'll revise this order depending on where the other two extra movies take place throughout the sagas. I felt like Rogue One turned out for the best, so I look forwards to where the other two movies take place. And I look forwards to seeing Episodes VIII (this year) and IX, but that goes without saying, right?
Agreed! I really enjoyed "Rogue One," too, more than I thought I would, actually. For something that happened before most of the Star Wars movies, I was still able to be surprised by several plot twists. I do think for some reason, I wasn't able to connect to these new characters as I've been able to connect to people such as Rey and Finn. Not sure why, but their personalities weren't a strong pull for me.
