star wars is about faith, but its supposed to be about war

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2017)

star wars has war in its title, but the films really deal more in faith. I am not saying this is bad, because there really are not a lot of mainstream films dealing with faith in the way star wars is. However, a franchise with the title star wars should include stars and be about war. Although stars are included, no movie has really talked about war. Now, with the Star Wars Anthology series existing, we can expect films with different style than the main episodes. While Han Solo film is supposed to be an action- adventure film with a western feel, then Rogue One is a film about war and its price. Not only is this film gritty, dark and includes colorless visuals, it also deals with the fact that in war, even the good guys have to do bad things, like be assassins and spies, which is not as honorable as being Han Solo or Luke Skywalker. But without this there would not be victory. In fact, one of the good guys gets killed by the rebels as a mistake. Also, all of the films main characters die. But they gave the Death Star plans to the rebels and so, victory comes. In fact, if they would have failed, Luke Skywalker would not be a legend after all. Also, I like how the film acknowledges that Darth Vader is a broken soul and does not shy away from using material from the prequels( they are part of the canon) and uses both Coruscant and Mustafar. But at its heart, it is a gritty war film bout war and its price.
