Hi there,
I think that Disney are finally getting their act together with this franchise. It seems like they may actually done a little bit homework before writing the film script. Rogue One: A Star Wars (TM) Story (I saw the 2d version, but intend to see the 3d version too), was much slicker than Star Wars VII - A Force Awakens, as it was more of a general action film, not needing too much background knowledge apart from the main character details.
It probably helped that the plot itself was fairly linear. The graphics and acting were very good, as you would expect of Disney. There were nods to Star Wars that the fans will recognize, which was nice to see. A few old faces appear as cameos, just to wet our appetites for Star Wars VIII.
All in all, it slots into the Star Wars History with barely a squeak out of place.
Niggle - How is the massively mighty (not to mention heavy) Star Destroyer able to just hovver in the atmosphere with only the rear engines going ? I suppose anti-gravity of some sort, like the land speeders ?
Lets see how they do with the next one.
It is worth a look.
Rating - 8 out of 10.

P.S. I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing away of Carrie Fisher and then her mom Debbie Reynolds. They were icons of their age that will be missed indeed.
This is for my war gaming and Role Playing exploits, settings include SF worlds, fantasy lands and Post-Apocalypse vistas, with a dash of historical goodness. It is a mix of solo and group game play. Commercial and D.I.Y. terrain making are also included in the Blog, with a few reviews of figures, TV shows and films. I support Green Climate Change Policies. A big round of applause for our emergency services and all those who are working, "Smashed it" for everybody staying in. Black Lives Matter.
