Unexpectedly expected variety of variation

Rogue One
Imagine all that you loved about the original star wars saga, hold that, now throw it into the corner of your mind where fond memories are stored. Next open your eyes to a new Star Wars world and a fresh beginning. Imagine there is a movie screen in this new Star world and Rogue One is the picture that is playing on a 24-hour cycle.
I had no idea that Rogue One was coming and it was so unexpectedly beautiful. I was imagining the same story line plus a new villain perhaps and contributory cast of 3 or 4 new faces. Wrong. So much more.
The movie was so entirely separate from what you might've expected that you might not even wonder if this were the same story arc, but it is, rest assured you freaks.
While the story line and characters introduced are exceptionally unique there are still the familiar bugaboos of Star Wars past. You still have your fleet battles you still have your monsters of incongruous proportions. It is everything you love about Star Wars and more and more.
The plot of Rogue One follows an original story arc in the Star Wars bible that has been added to and edited for the past 40 years.
You're going to appreciate this movie. One hundo p, guarantee.
