Rogue One A Star Wars Story

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Better than The Last Jedi in my opinion. I like that they went back to the old Empire/Rebellion era. It was the Disney/Star Wars attempt at a gritty movie and they mostly pulled it off. It can always be more gritty, but it still had to appeal to the masses. The characters were good and fleshed out for the most part. The sad thing is that since this is a one off story, the characters that seemed interesting will never been seen again. It is not the happy go luck romp that was The Force Awakens and it was not the mess that The Last Jedi was. It is definitely worth a rent if not a purchase.-Nomad Snake

In the first Star Wars movie (A New Hope, released in 1977), one very important detail was never explained. The rebels had somehow obtained a copy of the plans for the Death Star. Now finally in 2017 comes the backstory, in “Rogue One”, a thrilling little movie featuring rebels, the Empire, the Force, a few familiar faces, and a few new ones.

“Rogue One” centers around Jyn Erso, a victim of the Empire at a young age, who finds an unexpected opportunity to strike back when she gets caught up in a rebel raid. Together with the rebel agent Cassian Andor and a ragtag band of rebel fighters, they will undertake a desperate mission to the Imperial Base on the planet of Scarif. Once on the ground, the rebels will be in a race against time to find the plans and somehow get them off Scarif. Guile, fortitude, and the Force will somehow have to make up for the overwhelming odds they face.

The movie is nicely done, while staying strictly consistent with the Star Wars universe. Felicity Jones and Diego Luna are surprisingly engaging as Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. Alan Tudyk provides both attitude and comic relief as the droid K2SO, reprogrammed, more or less, to work for the rebels. Highly recommended to Star Wars fans as an afternoon’s entertainment. This DVD version does not have any extra features.- HMS Warspite

I enjoyed Rogue One better than any previous Star Wars film. The acting, storyline, and cinematography is first-rate. This film answers so many questions about what happened between the destruction on the Jedi Temple in Episode III and the destruction of Alderaan in Episode IV. I don’t get tired of watching it over and over.- Kid at Heart and Renaissance Man
