This is, of course, intentional, since the storyline in this film takes place just before Star Wars: Episode IV, which also goes by the subtitle, A New Hope. The story does not have a happy ending (Thank God), and instead plunges into pretty dark territories. The story in Rogue One is a suicide mission, plain and simple. (Image credit: Disney) It Is Hopelessly Depressing, But Intentionally So One where real lives are at stake, and there’s very little, if any, hope.
They’re not King Arthur pulling the fabled lightsaber out of the stone. And I just love how these characters are war weary and feel entirely expendable, which is of course intentional. We also get Forest Whitaker playing the battle scarred Saw Gerrera. Instead, we get characters like Jyn Erso, Chirrut Imwe, Cassian Andor, Bodhi Rook, and the security droid, K-2SO. Rogue One doesn’t even bother with the Skywalkers. I thought Alec Guinness’s Ben Kenobi, was pretty cool, and also Ewan McGregor’s portrayal of him in the prequels, but when it comes to the actual Skywalkers themselves, that’s a hard pass for me. Luke can go, Leia can go, Darth Vader can stay, but honorary Skywalker, Rey, can also get the Force push as far as I’m concerned. You’re going to say, “What kind of Star Wars fan are you?” but I really don’t care for the Skywalker family. (Image credit: Disney) It Doesn't Focus On The Skywalker Family
