Plinkett’s basic complaint is that the standalone movie isn’t very standalone, which I guess is fair, but to me is like complaining that the “Lords of the Sith” novel didn’t make any sense because what even is Star Wars?
Those guys made a name of theirselves by being OT-Talibans. And while most of what they point out about the prequels is true to me, I can’t help saying that they long missed this one with Rogue One.
Suddenly it is better and more realistic that characters chat while in the middle of gunfire; or that you get to care for characters that play with in-universe star wars toys and praise Darth Vader just like fans do in real life.
May more movies like RO come
