Star Wars falling away from Star Wars

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2016)

Rogue One: A horrible Star Wars Story.
First lets start with there being no crawl at the beginning of the movie. Have the writers of Rogue One never seen a Star Wars movie. Chris Weitz & Tony Gilroy wrote the screenplay, and they dropped the ball! Every Star Wars story starts out by letting you know what's going on and sets the mood. I thought this movie was in-between episode III and IV the ENTIRE time until a poorly computer enhanced Leia came onto screen. Second: Darth Vader.... HIS EYES HAD A RED TINT!?!?! Why can you not get his suit correct? Did they think it was a smart idea to change it? It wasn't! I understand James Earl Jones voiced Darth Vader but it did not sound like him at all. They can make the Admiral look the EXACT SAME but they can not match Vader voice? Pathetic! Just watch the original three movies and you can get a concept of how Vader talks. You notice how Anikan towards the end of episode III talked? Short and to the point. Never saying anything cliché. Well that changed in this movie. The way he fought was not the way Vader usually fought. Third: We only see one person who has the force and that Vader, why did we not see Mace Windu? He did not die in Episode III so why would he not be in this movie, it makes me think they just forgot about the greatest Jedi ever. Remember he was the one who originally defeated the Emperor. He was the best of the best but yet they just forget about him? He killed the the Mandalorian descendant bounty hunter aka Jango Fett. I am so disappointed that Windu was not in this movie. Fourth: Where was Boba Fett? Why would he not have a single appearance in this movie? The last of the Mandalorian bloodline just doesn't deserve an appearance? Someone just dropped the ball on this movie. Rogue One was a horrible movie, worse then Episode VII by far. Never in my life have I been so disappointed. It simply lacked George Lucas. He knew how to tell a story in a way no one else could. I hate how dramatic they made it also. One lightsaber is seen, that's it. I get it's not supposed to be about the Jedi and what not but isn't that what Star Wars is about? The never ending fight between the Jedi and Sith? I honestly feel like the people who wrote this movie, the director and the producers have only seen Star Wars one time. I hope they don't screw us over on Episode VIII. So many things could have been done differently to improve this movie. Disappointment is all I have for this movie.
