I gave Rogue One four out of five stars. I liked Rogue One as a standalone movie, but because it’s part of the Star Wars universe, I expected there to be more references to the other Star Wars movies. It didn’t seem to me that this movie included as many familiar characters and locations as other movies in the franchise. Although Rogue One is all about how the Rebellion got the plans to the Death Star, which is a significant plot detail mostly overlooked in A New Hope, it doesn’t feel linked to the other movies in the Star Wars universe. That being said, there were new characters that I really enjoyed. For example, K2-SO was a funny character. He was a droid in the imperial army, reprogrammed to be good, and have a sense of sarcasm. Chirrut Imwe was also a new character to the franchise, and I liked the concept that not all Force-sensitive people are Jedi. The special effects were good, and the plotline was OK, but the music just felt off to me, and there was no scrolling text at the beginning. The music is really important to the series, and the scrolling text at the beginning is a staple of the franchise. Overall, I thought the movie was good, but it isn’t my favorite in the franchise.
