Well are you? Do you really think Johnson is going to direct his film towards 5-10 year olds?
Well, in my mind, that’s what’s great about Rogue One – it’s changed the discussion. It’s changing fan expectations. All in extremely good ways.
Rogue One is a home run. It’s a spectacular film. A game changer. My only criticism is the music score. It was good but not great. Other than that, I could not have asked for a better Star Wars film. Third-best film in the franchise, easily.
It’s interesting. I listened to the score very closely because of things I’d heard and I found it to be okay. It was very Williams-esque, with lots of nice references, but it wasn’t heavy-handed about it and still sounded original.
However, it also didn’t really have any stand-out themes apart from ones we know.
But that could tie into this being a galaxy-building story film and not a character-driven “human interest” film.
