Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is definitely an exciting Star Wars prequel film, the story is set in the gap between 3 and 4, at the end of the 3rd Revenge of the Sith, the Old Republic is overthrown, the Jedi Knights Almost killed, the evil emperor Sith extended his claws to the entire galaxy. The quickest way is to use the newly developed destructive weapon "Death Star" to destroy the planet he wants to resist and implement a reign of terror. At the beginning of the 4th A New Hope, Princess Leia already has the stolen Death Star blueprint in her hands and fights against Darth Vader, the Darth Vader, and Rogue One tells the ins and outs of the stolen Death Star blueprint.
Rogue One Chinese translation is "Rogue One". Grand thieves wander between black and white, robbing the rich to help the poor, and doing justice for the heavens. This can be used to explain why the classic Star Wars is not shown in the title of the movie, because Rogue One is not a Star Wars movie in the traditional sense, and there are no Star Wars fans such as Princess Leia and R2D2 who participated in this theft. The familiar and popular characters are replaced by a group of little people who are obscure and obey their superiors. Among them are the outlaws wanted by the empire, soldiers of the revolutionary army, renegade imperial pilots and beggars who once served as temple guards and other heroes. . This time, Lucasfilm and Disney were very smart, and dared to temporarily lower the setting that the protagonist must have noble blood, and instead focused their attention on this group of ordinary people without the Force, who are not only "close to the ground" and close to the people , also shows the determination of the main creator to change. If it weren't for this gang of rogue troops who took death as their own way and made their way into enemy bases to steal key secrets to destroy the Death Star, new hope might not come.
The revolutionary army is built on hope, so what turns this faint candle into an unquenchable blaze? Rogue One has a clear answer: love and trust. In addition to the kinship between the heroine Felicity Jones and her father, blood is thicker than water, the embarrassing identity of the heroine first gives the film a strong dramatic conflict, because her father is a scientist (Mads Mikkelsen) who helped the Empire develop the Death Star, Therefore, from the beginning, she was not fully trusted by the revolutionary army, and Colonel Diego Luna, who was traveling with her, was always on guard against this wicked desperado. When Jane's father appointed a renegade pilot (Riz Ahmed) to leak the Death Star secrets to his guerrilla friends in Jue Star, the friends thought he was a spy sent by the Empire. Later, a similar situation was encountered at the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army. Even privately decided to kill Jane's father. In stark contrast to the lack of trust within the Revolutionary Army towards outsiders is the sincere friendship between the temple guards Yan Zhiren (Donnie Yen) and Ba Si (Jiang Wen), who live together and die together, without a single complaint. Yan Zhiren is blind and clear, regards the Force as her absolute belief, and has a clear path. When Jane encounters a crisis of trust, she becomes her solid backing. When this simple trust spreads, a force that cannot be ignored will emerge.
In the second half of the movie, in the face of the cowardly compromise of the Alliance Council, Jane decided to carry out the task of stealing the Death Star blueprint. Go to the enemy base to make a scene. The mutual trust between people has reunited the originally collapsed and decadent revolutionary army into a resistance force that can compete with the empire. The hope that slowly rises from the ruins and yearns for a new life can be seen through the heartwarming "Egg Touch" at the end of the film. "High Wall" spread throughout the galaxy, always encouraging more people with lofty ideals to fight.
Rogue One symbolizes the triumph of the little man, and despite being a work of fiction, it deserves to excite ordinary people like you and me, because perhaps this blandness is what it takes to overthrow tyranny. Star Wars loyal fans will definitely regard 5 and 6 as a classic among the classics, and now I am afraid there will be another one.
