A year after the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One made its way to the big screen. Rogue One takes place after Revenge of The Sith and before A New Hope. The story follows a young woman named, Jyn Erso and how she is roped in to helping the Rebels. I am an avid Star Wars fan; I just love the movies so much. I really liked this movie because it was a story with new characters and audiences got to see some familiar characters too, such as C-3PO and R2-D2 for a quick glimpse.

Further, it is amazing what movie makers can do these days. I mean they brought Peter Cushing back from the dead. Cushing played Grand Moff Tarkin in Stars Wars Episode IV: A New Hope in 1977. He died in 1994. Also, they brought back a fresh faced Princess Leia at the end and Carrie Fisher has indeed gotten old since 1977. So, CGI and other movie magic is getting better by the minute.

I really enjoyed how this was a prequel to A New Hope because the last few moments of the movie goes right into the original Stars Wars movie. That was pretty cool; I have seen A New Hope many times and when the movie went right into A New Hope for a few short moments I freaked out big time because I knew exactly what was happening. Gareth Edwards, who directed this film did an amazing job with re-creating this scene.

This Star Wars movie did not have the opening crawl that previous Stars Wars movies have had. It was quite disappointing because everyone looks forward to it.

I liked how every time the characters went to a new planet, the name of the planet was shown on screen.

Overall, I thought the movie was great. If anyone has not seen the movie yet, definitely go because it is worth it.
