The first Star Wars movie was released in 1977. It was called,
Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope, and since that film’s release, Star
Wars has been popular ever since. Last year,on December 18, Lucasfilm
unleashed Star Wars The Force Awakens. To continue the saga, once
again, a new Star Wars film is being released called Rogue One: A Star
Wars Story. Look for it in theaters starting December 16.
Rogue One will take place in between Episode 3: Revenge of The
Sith, and Episode 4: A New Hope. The movie’s plot is captivating.
In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on
a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate
weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings
together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in
doing so, become part of something greater than themselves. A character
that is newly introduced in this “new” film is Jyn Erso. Jyn has had
experience being a criminal, forger, thief and is capable of violence,
but the Rebel alliance decides to use her skills to assist them in
retrieving information on the Empire's new weapons system. A major
character we all know in the Star Wars universe “returning” is Darth
Vader. We don't know exactly his role yet in Rogue One, but be sure to
find out on December 16, the date Rogue One will be released into
theaters.
If you have never seen the Star Wars films and like Sci-Fi,
Action, and or Fantasy, I can guess that you would surely enjoy Star
Wars as it fits in with with these genres.The reason Star Wars appeals
to me is because it's genre is the type I love, along with all the
movies being action packed and full of adventure.
