The [Star Wars] series of movies has a history of 40 years since it was filmed in 1977. From the earliest orthodox Star Wars to the later prequels, and then Star Wars 7, which was released a few days ago, the routines of Star Wars. Into the hearts of every Star Wars fan, the background introduction of the story with rolling subtitles that must be included in the opening, the background music of all kinds of classics to in-depth newcomers, The Force, R2-D2, C3-PO and so on. Especially after Disney Fish Lucas Pictures announced in 2015 that it would launch a [Star Wars] movie every summer, and the current Hollywood "fast food" film industry chain, leading to a super commercial similar to [Star Wars] Blockbuster movies can now be said to be full of routines. The audience can basically guess at what stage of the film and what should be done, but [Rogue One] is very innovative and avoids all "routines". Whether it’s the routine of [Star Wars] or the routine of [Hollywood], everything has nothing to do with [Rogue One].

[Star Wars Inherent Routines] All viewers who have watched the Star Wars series of movies will be very familiar with the background music of each movie’s opening scene, presented through rolling subtitles, and the background music that has suddenly become excited, even if not Star Wars fans, when [Star Wars 7] was released, I also heard a lot of "Tucao" about rolling subtitles that look good Low. When watching [Rogue One], many people around me were expecting this inherent In the routine, [Rogue One] overturned the tradition of the [Star Wars] series of movies for the first time and abandoned this opening. When you finish watching this movie, you will find that it is completely different from the old [Star Wars] in the past, but this movie still has a lot of little eggs that pay tribute to Star Wars, such as R2-D2, C3- who came to guest appearances. PO, but because of the timeline, BB-8, which attracted countless viewers in [Star Wars 7], did not appear in the film.

[Hollywood Movie Routines] When I saw the main supporting actors, Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen, die, I was surprised and understood a little bit. After all, in order to fulfill the so-called "protagonist halo", the supporting actors can only sacrifice themselves, but When you cut that the male protagonist and the female protagonist died in the explosion, you must be only surprised. Yes, this is a movie without the "protagonist halo". All the slightly more important characters are dead... Dead... [Star Wars] As the name suggests, various cool warships should be used as the protagonist of the battle, but [Rogue One] has a good grasp of the technological battles, and also casts Twilight to the ordinary. Human battles are no longer "Star Wars" with countless big scenes, but also interspersed with many face-to-face battle scenes, and the scenes are quite spectacular, making people feel that this is not a Star Wars at all, it is simply a [Blood War Hacksaw Ridge]. ] Rhythm.

Of course, Hollywood’s biggest routine is that the heroes and heroines can always find a few minutes of lingering opportunities in countless wars, the climax of the war, and it feels like the whole world has stopped for them, but [Rogue One] once again Let the audience "disappointed", the end of the film several times let the audience feel that it is time, it is time to kiss, but knowing that the hero and the heroine died in the end, the two of them did not kiss each other, so the audience once again felt that there was no "routine" in this movie. ". [Yen Zidan is called open hanging] The joining of Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen made Chinese audiences wonder whether this is to win Chinese audiences to achieve a higher box office, or whether two more Chinese actors have started the journey of "mixing Hollywood", but After watching the movie, you will feel that Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen are not simply getting familiar with each other, they carry the important laughs of the whole film, and have a great effect on the promotion of the story, not to mention that Donnie Yen, as a blind man, drives all the way. The hanging plot is indeed very attractive.

[Princess Leia] The young version of Princess Leia produced through CG at the end of the film may also make many Star Wars fans feel sorry, because Princess Leia’s actor Kelly Fisher passed away in the early morning of December 28, 2016. We In [Star Wars 8], she can be cut once again. In general, [Rogue One] is better than [Star Wars 7].
