Okay But Too Many Unknown Characters

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2017)

This is what happened just before Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope (1977).
This contains some wonderful moments with Darth Vader and a CGI version of Peter Cushing, it is worth a DVD rental for these things alone. It also begins so well with a wonderfully filmed sequence that lingers in the memory.
But the bulk of the flick just does not feel like Star Wars as we see all these unknown characters.
The Force Awakens (2015) made such an impact on me that Rogue One sort of felt like left overs after a wonderful meal.
And the fact that this film was made at all seemed like over-kill of the Star Wars series...one film every three years is fine, but a flick every year is too much!
In a word, Rogue One is just okay.
