The answer is Yes, yes it is.

Star Wars: Rogue One... Is It Out of This World?
VOX

Star Wars hits theaters again, but this time in a way no one imagined. With it's incredible and well fitting story line to it's quirky and sarcastic new robot, this movie blew my mind from beginning to end.

The movie takes place before Star Wars IV: A New Hope. In this movie we learn how the rebel alliance stole the blueprints of the Death Star and how they came to know all the flaws in it. It is up to a peculiar set of hero's to save the universe from the disastrous empire, and evil Lord Vader.

This movie brings together both the classic Star Wars and new 21st century Star Wars. It takes the universe we've come to know and love to a whole new orbit. Yes I must admit it was odd not to have the usual Star Wars introduction at the start of the movie, but seconds after I completely forgot and did not need an introduction because the movie showed it all.

It was incredible how the writers and director, Gareth Edwards brought together A New Hope and Rogue one and connected both movies in a way that could make people believe that Rogue one was written in the time A New Hope was. Everything made sense, and we even got to see some of our favorite classic characters that we had not seen in years; one which included my personal favorite, Darth Vader.

Vader was portrayed in such an badass way that any time he came out people in the audience couldn't help but gasp. Vader was the same old cunning, evil mastermind that many of us have come to appreciate as one of the greatest villains of all time. He stood out in the movie despite him being in only a few scenes and *SPOILER ALERT* his ending was MIND BLOWING. It was the bad ass side of Vader everyone wanted to see.

Felicity Jones who plays Jyn Eso the protagonist in this movie did an amazing role of playing a hero who gave no f*cks about the empire. She wanted to fight for what was right and so she did alongside her friends, one who happened to be blind.

The diversity in this movie was also very great. We had so many POC it was great to see. A cast so diverse always makes the movie better in my book.

The movie was well casted, well written, and in general was a well made movie. Disney continues to prove that the Star Wars franchise will never die, and even with movies like this, it can still be out of this world.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2013
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
