![]() ![]() While Disney doesn’t disregard or contradict the cannon of the prequels here, not nearly as much effort is made to weave the prequels into Rogue One as is the original trilogy. It would be a savvy move to wedge as many films in between the reviled prequels and original trilogy to create more of a gap between the two. I wonder to what extent Disney will continue to do this with future Star Wars anthology stories. ![]() For all the efforts to distinguish this as a “self-contained” anthology story, it feels much more like a prequel for A New Hope than do any of the actual prequels. The filmmakers have convincingly blended the visual style of Rogue One with that of A New Hope, and if you compared certain frames from each side by side, the similarities would be striking. For those who found that The Force Awakens rehashed too much and felt like a reboot as much as it did a sequel, I’m fairly certain you won’t have those concerns here. It’s also one that feels and looks very much like a traditional Star Wars movie while deviating from the style and formula of the main series. Suffice to say, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a very good movie. This Rogue One: A Story Wars Story review is spoiler-free and deliberately vague on details, but if that’s not enough and you want only the quick take so you can see it with totally fresh eyes: two thumbs up.
