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).
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.
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.
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.
As usual the apparatchiks have twisted their metaphor 180 degrees out of alinement. It’s Trump who is leading the rebels against their status quo empire.
Looks like a great analogy but not knowing anything about Star Wars, it wouldn’t be as great as if I were a fan. However, you are AWESOME and I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas! Thanks for the hope you gave us, and thanks for being damn right!
“Willing suspension of disbelief”...I’ll pass.
HOORAY Donald Trump. Thank you, sir. Thanks, LS. Finest Americans BUMP!
My kids took me to Rogue One last night.
Worst Star Wars Movie by far
Lousy Story Line, Acting, Editing
I read this without knowing you wrote it.
Halfway through, I was saying, “This movie critic knows his stuff. This is an enjoyable read.”
I read the rest, and went to look back at who wrote it.
It was YOU.
Well done.
bkmk
There were scenes where a row of stormtroopers would be firing their laser guns at a good guy, all missing. Then the good guy turns around, fires his laser (machine) gun, and all dozen stormtroopers are hit and immediately fall to their deaths.
Star Wars is set in future . . .
So it is easy to see that they used the eight year presidency of Donald Trump to model the hero after . . . and the stormtroopers - GOP-e and democrats - of course!
I’ve yet to see something from them stick to the Donald and one single tweet mows down a whole column of them.
It’s a beautiful thing!
