I don’t often go to the movies, but saw ‘Rogue One’ with a date.
The first half seemed kind of slow and disconnected, dealing with various rebel assassination plots (!) on Jedah and Eadu. Good visuals but weak story-telling.
However, the second half dealing with the invasion and destruction of the Imperial base at Scarif and testing of the Death Star was riveting.
Darth Vader’s brutal but ultimately futile light-saber fight scene at the end will please action fans.
And seeing a youthful Princess Leia at the end receiving the Deathstar plans was a nice surprise.
The rebels’ companion robot, a re-programmed Imperial model named K-2SO, was intelligent and funny enough to be unsettling. General “Fishlips” also provided comedic distraction.

Can we talk about that final Darth Vader scene in Rogue One?
