Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

2016

★★★★ Rewatched

Coming straight from Andor this really does work as a kind of rip roaring adventure climax to the show, although the most jarring thing is the more Star Wars-y traditional score. But I was surprised how well this works overall. Diego Luna feels like the exact same character, and a lot of his dialogue scenes have added resonance now. There’s obviously a few missteps (Leia/Tarkin) and probably the film should have ended on the beach. But the Vader scene is so well executed that I don’t really mind it being there.
