With a number of loonie lefties trying desperately to find ANY straw to grasp telling them that Trump and his voters are out of touch, the latest is the notion that the new "Star Wars" film "Rogue One" somehow is a parable about the (good) Rebels fighting the evil Trump empire.
Nothing could be sillier. Anyone watching the film can see instantly, Trump IS "Rogue One" and the Force put together.
The "Rogue One" title comes from the mission to steal the Death Star plans. When asked what their call sign is as they leave Yavin, the nervous pilot says, "er, Rogue . . . One." But the mission itself, and the makeup of the crew, totally reflect Trump and his amazing victory.
Most leftists would look at the heroine, Jyn Urso (Felicity Jones) and Cassian Andor---the assassin hired to take out her father---as the focus. But really this was about the Rogue One mission itself, for the group defies the Rebel Alliance leaders Mon Mothma and Admiral Acbar to "go rogue" (a reference to Sarah Palin?).
What is more fitting for Donald Trump, who went against the advice and so-called wise leadership of the stultified Republican Party to "go rogue" and create his own American national movement? In that, Trump WAS the Mission, and along with it, the (moving) Force. Yes, he had help from a ragtag group of "Deplorables": Andor (Steve Bannon, the assassin who appreciates the necessity to break with tradition) and Urso (Kellyanne Conway) who leads the team. But everyone knows it is the Force "leading" the team, and that while the Force must survive, and the mission be complete, the individual soldiers were expendable. K-250 is Cruz, who dies in a suicidal speech (er, fight), although being a robot, I suppose you could make a case for Rubio.
But wait: It gets better.
The white clad toady Orson Krennic (i.e., Cankles in her white-suit convention speech) is really just the front man for the evil, aged Emperor (George Soros) who dispatches Darth Vader to prevent the data theft (i.e., the leak of the DNC). Darth is Obama, although the real-life Darth never, ever converts back to the good side.
Then there is Grand Moff Tarkin, who seemingly has control of the campaign, er, the war. Tarkin is Podesta, whose arrogance and stupidity allowed the system to be hacked right under his nose. The Empire has it all---control of the propaganda (the media), the cloned robotic soldiers (Occupy Wall Street and BLM), and the ultimate weapon (the Access Holllywood tape). Yet like the lightsabers used by the Jedi, Rogue One Trump, with the Force, redirects every attack back at the Evil Empire.
Racing to the end, we know that the Rogue One Mission is successful. People gravitated to the Force and overcame evil, though not without cost.
And the universe was safe, and happy, again.
For your enjoyment. Merry Christmas!
Not to mention the fact that Darth Vader briefly appears after the final credits to blame the Russian hackers.
This was an excellent film about a small group of people who stood up to tyranny and gave it everything they had, who fought against seemingly insurmountable odds to achieve victory.
If that doesn't represent the odds in this past election, nothing does (including the insider who leaked the Dark Side's secrets).
For real?
Now I truly feel sorry for the Russians!
That is not what he said, he said I am your Russian hacker, LOL>
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for all of your insight this past election.
MAGA!
I didn’t stay—was there really a post credit scene?
According to aftercredits.com, no.
The Rebels in Rouge One are ISIS.
When they attacked the transport in Jedda, that was what some of our boys faced in Iraq.
Sorry.
Bump
Podesta has a skeletal looking face, much like Tarkin.
Thank you! We’re looking forward to seeing it.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the analysis. We saw it in Spanish a few times down here, and we enjoyed it.
On that note, we saw Guerrero today (Christmas). It’s refreshing to see movies made in South America. It was the story of the Peruano named Paulo growing up who now plays futbol in Rio. ZERO HOLLYWOOD INFLUENCE.
The Latin Market is one we have not penetrated with our film “Rockin’ the Wall.” Finding distributors in Latin America is very hard, as you might imagine, and of course I’m not sure that rock and roll and the fall of the Berlin Wall is as important down there as it might be obviously in Europe.
Nah.
Could care less. They aren’t looking at it like ordinary Americans.
A suicide mission that barely succeeds and still doesn’t manage to keep them from destroying a planet? Probably should think that one through more.
Lose the battle, win the war. It worked by Return of the Jedi.
