Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: A Worthy Inclusion to the Saga, Part 2

Having explored the major characters from Rogue One, now I want to dive in to the appearance of the menace that everyone was waiting for. That's right, Darth Vader himself. As before, there will be

!MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!


Let's go forward, fellow Star Wars fans!

**************************************************************************

I'll start by putting this before you.



Though Darth Vader's appearances in Rogue One are short, they are satisfying.


Now that the movie has been out for a bit, I think the chances of Disney throwing a blanket over the leaked Vader scenes is low. So I'll post the very satisfying ending where the dark lord shows up and cleans house. If you're a Vader fan, this was an ending not to be forgotten.



Much of what I have to say about Darth Vader and the rest of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story movie is tied into my last review. It is here I will leave you with these concluding words: Rogue One was not a perfect movie. Indeed, my analysis gives it 3.25 stars out of 4. But this was much better, much improved over the abysmal Episode 7, The Force Awakens, and a well worthy inclusion to the Star Wars franchise as a whole. I will definitely be getting this movie's extended version on DVD when it comes out and, if I get the chance, I'll definitely go see it for a third and final time in the theater. So, that's my wrap-up on my review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I'm glad to have gone and watched it and would recommend it to any of you wanting to see a good Star Wars movie that gets back to its roots.


In our next blog, a meditation I've been waiting to pen based on the outcome of the legal battle. I refer to the conflict that began between the independent Star Trek fan film project Star Trek: Axanar and CBS/Paramount Pictures.

We delve into that odyssey in our next meditation.



Until next time...


To the upward reach of man.
