Rogue One: Maybe it's just an elegy to Skywalker

Note: It is not a senior Star Wars fan. Combining the three main stories and three prequels, I wrote a little bit of my own understanding XD, and I hope to include the errors.

"Rogue One" was successfully screened because of Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen guarding the law. At the end of the movie, Lord Lord holds a lightsaber and comes on stage with a familiar and sexy breathing sound. With a wave of his hand, he easily throws away a few rebel waste wood.

Star Wars fans collectively climax.

This is also the only time the real force appears in the entire film. Some people say that the appearance of Darth Vader is a deception, using a few old stalks to forcibly establish contact with the three feature films and the prequel.

But is "Rogue One" really just an ode to the heroes?

Looking at it from another angle, I think this rumor is more like an elegy to Skywalker. On the surface, it seems that he has nothing to do with Sir Alex Ferguson, but in fact, he pays tribute to this lonely and great villain everywhere. The wonderful thing about Rogue One lies in the continuation of the most critical core of the Star Wars series: the sad revolutionary spirit. And this sense of tragic and solemnity is exactly the emotional tone of the black warrior throughout.

The whole life trajectory of the heroine Qin is not so much a new, tragic and heroic story line, as it is just what Skywalker should have lived through.

She has parents who love her the most, and they never restrict her to do anything. Of course, it may be because Hannibal’s father, who is helpless, was arrested at the beginning, but before he was arrested, Don’t forget to brainwash my daughter. What I do is to protect you.

Compared with Obi-Wan, who was closely following Anakin's thoughts step by step, although Qin's master might abandon his apprentice halfway and run away, it is precisely because of this that Qin's free growth was not restricted. The only time the Master could call her a teaching was when she shouted before she was bombed: save the rebellion, save the dream! After hearing this line from him, I just want to ask this master, have you ever heard that there is an American drama called Heroes on a galaxy far far away earth...

And our Anakin, although he is also the title of "Selected Force Balancer", "Best Pilot in the History of the Galaxy" and "The Only Jedi to Marry", he has been restrained and unhappy at all.

... but the Qin can come and go as he pleases. Well, if your rebels don't help, I will do it myself! What's more, I have a handsome guy, a chattering robot, and two uncles in Asia who have an ambiguous relationship.

She has fully lived the life Anakin yearns for: a rare but never absent fatherly love, a trusting master, and a loyal and reliable teammate.

Everyone naturally put the responsibility in her hands and said to her: Go, lead us to save the galaxy! There is no suspicion, fear and unknown in Qin's revolutionary road. The hero's tragedy, accompanied by the fate of death, is written naked in her life.

——She knew her end for a long time, so she went forward and lived toward death (though she died in the end).

Looking back at Anakin’s growth process, I’m afraid I’ve heard the most: No! no! no! The real Bolekui just died too early, and the master Obi-Wan, the takeover master, was reluctant to do so. In addition, the Jedi Knights are united up and down, because of a dark clouded prophecy, they are determined to guard against this talented Skywalker.

The dogmatic Galactic Council and the unruly Skywalker are destined to go to a dead end.

The Republic is looking forward to an obedient successor, a generous and tolerant Jedi; Skywalker just wants to do things and make life full of adventure and passion every day. So it wasn't that the Sith's mouth-cannon ability max, successfully instigated the hope of the Republic, but that Anakin could no longer stay. He may not be willing to return to Sith, but that is the only option he can use to flex his muscles...

After that, Darth Vader put on a black robe, put on a respirator, and established the Galactic Empire with one hand.

And the Republic that lost Skywalker has finally begun to reflect. Is it true that the immutable teaching method and the ancient and superstitious beliefs are right?

Without the Jedi Knights added to the Force, the divided Republic began a period of chaos. New heroes were also born in this chaotic era.

It is a pity that Anakin was born too many years earlier and missed a golden age that should have belonged to him.

Maybe Skywalker is a naive person in his bones. I've been waiting for the Galaxy Council and a group of old Jedi Knights to bow their heads to themselves first and say: "Child, it's not your fault, come back." In order to wait for such a word, Darth Vader did not use all his strength to fight the Jedi Knights.

Otherwise, with the strength of the black warrior, I don't believe that he will let Obi-Wan and Master Yoda hide in the deep mountains and old forests for so many years? If he was really guided by the Force, Sir Alex Ferguson would have killed them and harvested the lightsaber. What's more, at the end of "Rogue One", didn't the guy with the Death Star design also ran away.

It's a pity that Darth Vader never waited for that affirmation, so he had to continue to stalk his neck and hold on to the emperor of the Galactic Empire. Until Luke grows up, father and son confront each other.

My father Mo Ruozi, the little skywalker finally shouted out what Anakin had always wanted to hear, but no one had said it for so many years: "You have failed Your Majesty! I am a Jedi, just like my father!"

As soon as these words came out, the black warrior was finally able to unload the burden he had carried for decades, and was defeated by his son, pushing down (x) Sith, and confided in his own voice by the way: There's good in me...

At the end of the remake of the third "Return of the Jedi" of Star Wars, the young heroic Skywalker and Obi-Wan can finally stand together again. He smiled slightly, as if he was talking to the teacher who had been talking coldly but rarely praised him and said: "Look, Luke is so good at doing it, he deserves to be my son!"

Therefore, the appearance of Vader at the end of "Rogue One" is not superfluous, but the director made a personality modification to Darth Vader that could not be completed in the biography and the biography.

George Lucas would highly praise Rogue One, probably because the director did what he always wanted to do but ultimately failed to give the Black Warrior the feelings. For Hollywood, George Lucas is Skywalker. He hated the system and was out of step with the director circle, and eventually started anew and built his own Galactic Empire—Industrial Light and Magic. But inside, this filmmaker who is not good at liking is extremely eager to be accepted by the audience and the film world, hoping to make a Hollywood-style movie that surpasses the "Jaws". Like Darth Vader, he longed to be like a piano without having to be apostate to be surrounded by stars, even if he was just going to die bravely.

Maybe it's the bystander who clears it. Darth Vader, the ruler of the empire who had poured all his ambitions into Old Joe, was finally fulfilled in a biography 40 years later.

He is not a bad person, not even a competent villain. He is more like the true legacy of the Force in the Star Wars series, running through the entire seven Star Wars prequels and main stories.

——The Force may deteriorate or disappear. But it will eventually guide the lost person to his true way home:

It was "Anakin" that caused the disintegration of the old rules of the Galactic Republic; it was "Skywalker" that promoted the reform of the Republic; it was "Darth Vader" that balanced the force and gave birth to the hope and birth of the new alliance. The Galactic Empire established by Sir Alex Ferguson has been leading the Rebel Alliance and finding a new direction for the Republic.

Skywalker was born with the mission of the chosen son of heaven. He was exhausted by this mysterious and ancient power. He finally broke through the limits and went to the darkness, but at the last moment he woke up and turned to push the Force to burst into new life. Just like Lucas in Hollywood.

At the end of "Rogue One", the black warrior quietly watched the rebels escape, and the heavy and muddy breathing sounded in everyone's ears. Is he saying:

League, let me see what you can do. I am waiting for you here.

Waiting for you to take me home.

① There is a famous line in Heroes, Save the cheerleader, save the world!

② In the prequel, Ivan especially likes to say cold jokes like "Not too worry. We are still flying half a ship."
