This article contains MAJORRogue One: A Star Wars Storyspoilers.
In theory, hes wiping out the Rogue One pests and protecting the schematics of the Death Star.
The answer is that she does not.
This is something to be very hopeful about, indeed.
From the very beginning,Rogue Oneproudly subverts audiences expectations.
The sequence is stark, menacing, and ends in sudden brutality.
Hence, its unlike anything weve seen in a Star Wars movie to date.
Perhaps even more so than the franchises greatest film,The Empire Strikes Back.
In contrast, Jyns childhood is ruined and Galens soul is seemingly stolen from his possession.
And the consequences define the rest of their darkening lives.
Still, the ultimate effect is the same.
By being bold and bloody, you could also be refreshing and rewarding to moviegoers.
Yet, miraculously, it is nothing like J.J. Abrams reverent and fervently nostalgic film.
Again,The Force Awakensis quite good, and Im not entirely sure aboutrecent claims thatRogue Oneis wholly better.
It tells its story and adds new wrinkles and idiosyncrasies to what wed previously seen.
Does this mean every standalone Star Wars movie will be a smashing success?
One of the other most satisfying elements ofRogue Oneis the knowledge there will be no sequel.
Its not a mystery box; its a full story.
Its unlike any Star Wars movie before it, and likely different from any after it too.
In which case, this is a victory that makes Jyn Ersos sacrifice all the more noble and heroic.
