I for one am happy this movie franchise is no longer in the hands of its creator, whom must have lost his way some how. Now that Disney has control, (And YES I was very afraid at first) and seeing the final product I once again have faith. There are problems with it. There are holes in the story line. But, I am happily giving them the back burner because there is a much better core group of actors, storyline and, NO JAR JAR!
Just took the boys to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
First, I was surprised it had a PG-13 rating as I did not see anything that would fright the young ones. There is no nudity, swearing or gore yet lower rated movies have all of that.
Second, it was a far better production than the last Star Wars movie which in mind was extremely cheesy but the review for that is here: Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a bit long and seemed to surround an issue more than necessary. The acting was good but the robot was the most interesting.
Third, Darth Vader was of course his usual evil self and gave a nice twist to it but I wish he was more involved in the film. The length of time you get to see Vader vs the total length of the film was comparable to a drop in the bucket.
Overall, a nice movie, I do not see anything there to scare children older than 6 unless your child is overly sensitive and becomes attached to characters emotionally.
I enjoyed the movie a lot. It is not a prequel that some thought it was it was the story of how the Death star came to be and how a group gave up thier lives so that the rebellion could get their hands on the plans and find the weakness that the designer placed in it. I found the story very nice and yes a bit long but it fit in. It was nice to be able to understand what the rebellion went through to get the plans so that the death star could be blown up in episode four.
