The joy of being a Star Wars fan knows no bounds. To be
treated to the latest epic adventure just days before the celebration of
Christmas is like an embarrassment of riches! Let’s take a short
spoiler-free look at Rogue One, and see what we can draw out of it.
StarWars.com offers this as a
synopsis of the movie: “In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely
heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star,
the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction.” While this is an ensemble
cast, the story has an iconic heroine in Jyn Erso. Through her, the
story is moved, the task is completed (don’t be surprised, since we have
known since 1977) and all of the soldiers aboard Rogue One
find their fulfillment. That is all I will say, in case you haven’t
seen it yet. But seriously, why are you reading my ramblings if you
haven’t seen the move yet? Put this down! Run to the theater! Then,
come back and finish up here.
