DIRECTOR Gareth Edwards
STARRING Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn
How do you honour a franchise that
means so much to so many, and yet at
the same time move it forward? That
was the challenge facing Gareth Edwards
when he agreed to take the helm of Rogue One:
A Star Wars Story. Thankfully, the Monsters
director has risen to his task with aplomb,
producing a film that’s both tremendously
entertaining and gut-wrenchingly dramatic.
With the evil Galactic Empire increasing its
stranglehold on the galaxy, the Rebel Alliance
recruits a rag-tag team of spies that includes
Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso and Forest Whitaker’s
Saw Gerrera (a name fans will recognise
from The Clone Wars animated series) to steal
the plans to the first Death Star. Standing in
their way is Ben Mendelsohn’s chilling Orson
Krennic, the director of advanced weapons
research for the Imperial Military. Uh-oh!
With some flawed-but-fantastic new heroes
to cheer on, and the kind of jaw-dropping
special effects that we’ve come to expect from
this series, Star Wars fans can breathe easy
– the Force is strong with this one!
