Overall, the conclusion was that if a death is written in there in order to make the audience/reader feel something, that is Doing It Wrong, whether it succeeds or not. In the prehistoric times, during the ill-fated, ill-advised first attempt to make Star Wars dark-and-edgy, there was a discussion on USENET about character deaths. It wasn’t sorrow that made me cry, it was joy and catharsis.īut I’m fairly certain that the next time I see it (oh yes there will be a next time are you kidding) I will be crying for the crew of Rogue One, because of course I will be. …because they didn’t have the time, it turns out, that’s why.

This is why I am a part of the fandom, why I took that name upon myself. This is why I am a Star Wars fan, at the very core. The friend I’d gone to see it with turned around to console me, and I told her that I wasn’t crying because of. It wasn’t what happened, not the events, happy or sad. : Rogue One cut to “Directed by: Gareth Edwards,” the Main Theme that had been conspicuously missing from the beginning crashed in, and I started crying. Inevitably, we each have lots to say, and the other just wants to hear it. : We’ll have a bit less intercutting this time around, too. : Or not, I’ll repeat that warning: You don’t want to be spoiled for this. And you don’t want to be spoiled for this. : This review will contain SPOILERS FOR ROGUE ONE. Certain key creatures don’t look as convincing due to CGI.: Hello, gentlebeings, and welcome to this week’s Force Visions, wherein I’ve found where I live. Fairly slow moving at times during the first half.
