Rogue One: A Star Wars Story- Thank you very much for such a fun reaction to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Reds! I'm happy you enjoyed this movie! I absolutely love this movie!!! And I consider it to be one of my absolute favorites out of all the Star Wars movies, tied of course with the Original Trilogy movies, which are set within the same time period in which Rogue One is also set. I love how this movie brilliantly shows us why this movie ends when and where it does, just where Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope begins. I absolutely love this movie's overall theme of hope. "Rebellions are built on hope", as is spoken by first Cassian to Jyn early on within this movie, then much later by Jyn to the Rebel Alliance and Council. Too true. I absolutely love, love, love just how brilliantly and beautifully this movie connects to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and love that this movie is set directly before the events of A New Hope. If you carefully read the Star Wars scroll at the beginning of A New Hope when you might watch A New Hope again, the scroll explains that a small band of rebels fights against the Empire to get the Death Star plans for the Rebel Alliance so they can destroy the Death Star. These words from this scroll, is where this whole overarching idea for this movie comes from. This is the story that Rogue One's director, Gareth Edwards, and its writer, Tony Gilroy, wanted to tell. And it is absolutely phenomenal! Because without this small band of rebels going against the Alliance Council's orders... Without their sacrifices... Not only would the original trilogy be unable to exist, but the Rebellion would have failed, and the entire Rebellion would have all likely been killed, or the Rebellion would have disbanded and would have given up their fight against the Empire. Like the Rebel Council discuss in their meeting near the end of this movie. Most of them were ready to quit their fight, except for a few, including Mon Mothma (the red haired lady in white robes at the head of the Council) and Bail Organa (Princess Leia's adopted father). And the Empire tragically would have won. Each member of Rogue One are heroes by their own merits because they bring hope back to the Rebellion, and fight and die to make sure that the Alliance do not give up their fight against the Empire like they want to out of fear of the Empire's strength and power. Rogue One sacrifice everything, including their very lives. These rebels most certainly deserve to have a movie that honors them. I love that this movie has been created so that it can introduce us to a new group of Rebels within the Alliance who are all striving to find any information about the Empire that will help them to prevent the Empire's deadly plans to take over the entire Galaxy. I absolutely love this movie's overall story arcs for each of its characters and the movie's overall plot. Especially in regards to the rebels and how they enlist Jyn Erso to help them find her father, the lead designer and builder of the Death Star, forced to do so against his will. I really love that Galen Erso creates a trap within the Death Star, which is what allows for Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia to defeat the Empire in their big battle in A New Hope. Most of all… I love how this small group of rebels within the Alliance goes against word of the Council when they refuse to rise against the Empire out of fear, as this band that comes to be known as Rogue One, invades the Imperial base where the plans for the Death Star are hidden. Unfortunately and tragically, each member of Rogue One dies, including each of our main characters, who sacrifice everything for the Alliance so that they could cripple the Empire. And don't they ever succeed!! I absolutely love it!!! I know that there are a lot of Star Wars fans out there who have said they can't connect much, or if at all, with these characters because they are only in this one movie, and because they are unknown to us before this movie was created. However, I do connect to them. I can absolutely connect with each of them. Especially Cassian and Jyn. I love each of them, because I admire their bravery for fighting against the Empire against all odds, as well as their own side to do what's right. And I just really, love their characters so much! As for the new and main characters... I really enjoy Jyn Erso, Chirrut, Baze, Bodhi, and even Saw Guerra very much. And I enjoy a number of all the other new characters created for this movie, as well as love seeing a number of old beloved characters from the original and prequel trilogies such as Darth Vader, Bail Organa (Leia's adopted father who was introduced to us back in Episode II: The Attack of the Clones and mostly in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith), Princess Leia, Governor Tarkin (first introduced to us in Episode IV: A New Hope), R2-D2 and C3-PO, and Mon Mothma (first introduced to us in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi). However, my overall favorite of the new characters are absolutely Cassian Andor, the intelligence officer who brings the Alliance news of the "planet killer" and who fights alongside Jyn to steal the plans, as well as K-2S0. I love what little we learn about why Cassian is a fighter within the Alliance, as he reveals to Jyn he has been in this fight since he was six years old, after he too has lost everything. You can see that he is a rebel with a fragile heart. A rebel who is forced to do unspeakable things on behalf of the Alliance in order to help take down the Empire and save the galaxy. Unspeakable things including assassinations, among other things. And we can see from this movie from the emotions we see on Cassian's face throughout this movie, that he hates himself for having to kill in order to collect the information he's collected over the years for the Rebellion. Which is what Chirrut's line he says while they're imprisoned by Saw Guerra's men, about how he senses Cassian carries his prison around with him wherever he goes, means. Chirrut's most certainly right. Cassian has had to commit the heinous acts out of necessity. And he carries the burden of guilt around with him constantly. Guilt that he can't shake off. And it's heartbreaking. I love the complexities within his character. I wish we could have learned more about Cassian Andor in this movie, and how he came to work with K-2S0. Thankfully, we now have his own spinoff show, titled... Andor, so that we can learn so much more about him. And I absolutely love it!! I love Mexican actor... Diego Luna, who plays Cassian Andor as well. I have seen him in a number of movies including The Terminal, Open Range, Criminal, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, the remake of an 80's movie... Flatliners, Elysium, The Book of Life, and Vampires: Los Muertos. He's an absolutely fantastic, brilliant actor in a number of movies I've seen him in! And now he even has his own show where he has taken up the role of Cassian Andor once more! Once again, he is absolutely phenomenal!! :) Jyn Erso of course is also amazing, as the daughter of Galen Erso and the newest rebel after the death of her father. I love her determination to avenge her father and mother, and to complete the mission her father had set out to do, for him. In regards to Cassian's and Jyn's relationship... They never are romantically involved, mostly because they never had the chance to grow that much closer than they had before they are both tragically killed in the ending of this movie, by the Death Star itself. Quite the poetic ending for them both. However, Cassian and Jyn most definitely come to feel a very deep respect for one another, and they grow close in such a short amount of time. I would have loved to see them survive, if only just so we could have had the chance to see their relationship/friendship, and possible romance evolve. But with this being said... Their deaths are heartbreaking and beautiful. I love their final moments when Cassian comes back to save Jyn in spite of having been severely injured a short time earlier, when he shoots Director Krennic before he can kill her, and so that Jyn won't become a murderer by having to kill him. A murderer in all the ways he himself has become in the name of the Rebellion. Though he is most certainly not a monster. He's much like John Reese in Person of Interest, as they both fight and are willing to do the ugly things that comes with fighting a war against the real enemies in their worlds. I think this is why I love Cassian so much, because he is just like John Reese in Person of Interest. Also... I love the brief moments between Cassian and Jyn in the ending as they look into each other's eyes, and I love how Cassian reaches out to take Jyn's hand as the blast from the Death Star is approaching them, as Cassian tells Jyn that her father would be proud of her. Such a beautiful and heartbreaking moment, as they finally embrace one another and are killed by the blast from the Death Star. So heartbreaking, and yet so beautiful and heartfelt. As for the appearances from the characters we've loved since the original Star Wars movies... I am pleasantly surprised that we get to see so many. And sadly, a number of the actors who played some of them have passed away since the original movies. Now tragically including James Earl Jones, the incredible voice of Darth Vader. And Princess Leia makes a very brief appearance in the very end as Carrie Fisher offers her voice for a single line and word... "Hope". Sadly, Carrie Fisher died the very year this movie was released in theaters in 2016, just a few weeks after it is released in theaters. The night after Christmas. However, I love that through CGI, we are able to see Leia just as she was back in 1977. Another character from A New Hope we see here in Rogue One, whose actor also passed away long ago, is Governor Tarkin played by Peter Cushing. We see Governor Tarkin's role in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. But from this movie and A New Hope, we see that his character was very essential to the building of the Death Star, so it makes sense that this movie's creators would find a way to make Tarkin a part of this movie as well. As for bringing Governor Tarkin back to life again despite his original actor having passed on... He too was all done through CGI and voiced by a different actor who was able to mimic Peter Cushing's voice, given that Cushing had died not long after the original Star Wars back in 1977. His CG-I isn't the greatest, but I still really love his overall character for being the snake and villain that he is, and I love seeing him brought back for this movie. We also get to see a brief cameo appearance from both R2-D2 and C3-P0, which I love. And I absolutely love that Mon Mothma, the Alliance Council's leader and Senator wearing all white from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (played by a different actress back then) is brought back. In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Mon Mothma is played by actress, Genevieve O'Reilly, and in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, she is played by Caroline Blakiston. And we also see Leia's adopted father, Senator Bail Organa from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, as he too is a member of the Alliance Council. I love seeing them again!! And another moment I love... I really love the brief scene between Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, as they talk about enlisting Obi Wan Kenobi, first introduced to us back in the Prequels Trilogy starting in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, for their battle ahead, and knowing the one person he absolutely trusts to seek Obi Wan out is his own daughter, Leia. Bail also talks to Mon Mothma about needing to return home so he can warn his people of the threat of the Empire. Home to Alderaan, which is tragically the planet that is destroyed in A New Hope. And because we know this, we know that Bail Organa is sadly killed as well. And last but not least... We have Darth Vader himself. I absolutely love seeing him brought back for this movie! And wow!!!! I especially love the moment when he steps onto the Alliance ship during the major space battle in the end, then completely wipes out the soldiers in order to try to get back the plans before the Alliance can use them to destroy all of the Empire's hard work. This scene is absolutely gut wrenching, amazing, and so dark. I love it! Even though my stomach twists in knots as Vader kills all of these good men. It's tragic, and just an amazing scene. I also love getting to see the lava planet where Vader resides on, shown in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith... Mustafar. Overall... I absolutely love this movie and its incredible characters!! And once again, I am so grateful to you for your reaction for it. So, thank you once again, my dear friend! Sincerely, Heidi

And now, if I were to rank all Star Wars movies from my favorites to my least favorites... 1) Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi 2) Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 3) Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope 4) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 5) Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 6) Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 7) Solo: A Star Wars Story 8) Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens 9) Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones 10) Star Wars Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker 11) Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi These last two movies within the sequel trilogy are entertaining for the most part, and I enjoy a few of the characters and their stories overall. However, I think they are definitely the worst among all eleven movies. Definitely still worth watching at least once. Should you decide to watch these final two Star Wars movies you haven't seen all the way through yet, and create reactions for them, I would definitely be happy to watch them with you. :) I love all three movies within the original trilogy pretty much equally. I think they're all phenomenal, and such good stories! They are my favorites out of all elven Star Wars movies. And Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is also equal to the Originals as well. I absolutely love these four as my absolute favorites! :) Thank you so much again, Reds! Sincerely, Heidi
