Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 1r67i

Star Wars: Rogue One

The official trailer for Rogue One is here and people have a lot to say about it. In addition to the excitement, there’s also a lot of confusion about it. People want to know what it is, what it will be about and when we will see it. So we’re going to open up some discussion on Rogue One today and also try to clear up any confusion you might have. 6u2k3d

So first things first, if you have not seen the trailer, here it is:

Now, let’s talk for a bit about Rogue One and what we know about it so far.  Let’s take a look at some facts:

  • Rogue One is the It’s set in the time immediately prior to Episode IV.
  • Rogue One is the first in a rumored but not confirmed to be about Boba Fett) in 2020.
  • The lead character is Jyn Erso, no relation to Jan Ors. We don’t actually know if she is related to any of the main characters in the main series. She’s not Poe Dameron’s mother, as some people guessed, because we already met Poe’s mom in the Shattered Empire comic.
  • You won’t likely life of rebel soldiers so we shouldn’t expect to see a lot of Force use here. There could be a Vader appearance but that is yet to be confirmed.
  • Where are the dead Bothans? Actually, that’s the wrong Death Star.

So what’s up with the name? Is this a Death Star. That makes sense, no?

So again, if you’re looking at the trailer and thinking, “What? Another Death Star?” that this film is a prequel. It’s certainly not the first time that’s been done in a Star Wars film, right?

People who are not old Star Wars fans alike to explore (or re-explore) the story, the canon and of course, these new films.

Let’s Talk about that Heroine 314l10

So we’re seeing a theme in these new films that I, for one, quite appreciate.

Female leads.

While Star Wars was not lacking before in strong female leads, The Force Awakens also gave us Rey, who became an instant sensation with a new generation of young women and girls. Now we have a new heroine: Jyn Erso

So what do you we know about Jyn? There were theories about her being Rey’s mother or even Poe’s mother (as we explained above) but the thing about Rogue One is that it’s showing us women leads can be more than just lovers or mothers. They can be kickass heroes all on their own.

So here we have Jyn, played by Felicity Jones. She’s tasked by the Rebel Alliance’s leader, Mon Mothma, to steal the plans to the set of skills which include forgery of Imperial documents, possession of stolen property, aggravated assault, and resisting arrest.

Mmkay then… so here’s a woman with an interesting past, indeed.

Jyn is no princess and she’s no clean Han Solo type heroine and people are excited about the potential here, for sure.

The ing cast are also “rough and ready” and there’s a bit of a gritty feel to the cinematography that really sits right with the entire plot of the story. It has a retro style to it , but this film is definitely progressive in its casting.

Link Between Battlefront and Rogue One? 1w536u

So here’s another idea to run through your mind. Could there be a link between things that are happening right now in Battlefront and Rogue one?

Actually, many players in the really is a good chance this could be the case.

The timelines match up, the other war theme that is in this film fit in well with the themes of Battlefront.

So would it work? Could there be a Rogue One-themed updated on anything new we learn about the film.

So that’s coming this December. Are you ready?
