In appreciation of Rogue One


I am a 40-something who grew up with the OT. I must have seen all the Star Wars movies at least 10 times each over the past few years, even AOTC and Solo. I have enjoyed all of them, but have to say Rogue One is simply incredible. The last act is insanely good. It brings me back to playing with my Kenner toys in the garden as a kid.The music; score; scale; fights; and the emotion in the movie. All the other Star Wars movies created since 1983 pale into insignificance next to it. It’s like an adult indie film, but 100% Star Wars at the same time.I would love to see the data, but suspect the majority of those that grew up with the OT will view Rogue One as the true start of the saga... and perhaps a last revisit to their childhood.Perhaps this ultimate Star Wars moment was why TLJ and Solo were deemed ill advised and out of character... and TFA just bland. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2IBJTol
