Background: This is an awesome story about a vigilante girl who joins up with the Alliance in order to take down the Empire... Is there a better way to start this? If you haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies, you should go watch them. You just won't be able to appreciate it correctly and, quite frankly, every soul alive needs to see them anyway.
So there is your background, and here are your reasons to go see this awesome new movie.
1. It is nonstop action and excitement.
It might not always be in the form of a fight scene, but you can bet you will always be on the edge of your seat.
2. The plot is incredible in every way imaginable.
You learn things as the characters learn them. So it keeps you listening for more information.
3. All of the characters are awesome, and so is their dynamic, sassy addition to this timeless classic saga.
Once you see it, you will know which character I am referring when I say, "sass."
4. It adds even more depth to the original trilogy.
Rogue One is like a blip in the timeline between the first three movies and the original trilogy. Not just a blip, though, but more like a mountain. All I'm saying is it ends where the first one begins.
5. It was raw and real.
You find yourself getting attached to the characters really easily. It is a good representation of sacrificing your talents to a cause greater than yourself.
6. It was serious with added tints of humor.
Serious action movies are great and so are comedies. What makes a movie a killer, however, is a bit of both. Rogue One delivers.
7. Jyn Erso and Captain Cassian.
I know I already talked about the characters, but I must confess that their chemistry was perfectly teasing, but not in-your-face.
8.The irony of the disfunction of the Alliance.
I guess politics has to play out everywhere, even in the face of a Death Star and a rebellion. Oh well.
9. Darth Vader.
If you have already seen Rogue One, you know what I am talking about. Possibly the best scenes Darth has ever had exist in this movie. That's all I'm saying.
No matter if you are the biggest Star Wars fanatic or if you are just trying to pick a movie to go see with your friends, you can't go wrong with this movie! I can't wait to go see it again!
May the force be with you!
