In six days, the much anticipated and first of its kind Star Wars standalone film drops in the United States.
Rogue One features the story before the original story that we all know and love.
Set just before A New Hope, the movie follows the (for lack of a better term) rebellious Jyn Erso as she joins up with the Rebellion in order to ascertain the information so desperately needed on this “imminent” weapons test.
Of course we know this weapons test is the diabolical world-eater or better known as the Death Star.
But who is behind this mechanical contraption from hell that seems to take on a life of it’s own?
None other than the awesomely infamous Orson Krennic…
The man in the white cape that you see in all the trailers is Krennic. Responsible for the Death Star’s completion and the overseer of the laser, Krennic is a higher up in the increasingly evil Empire.
A week ago today I took on the task of finishing the brilliant James Luceno written book Catalyst in preparation for the release of Rogue One.
As I have 20 pages left, my prime and number one thought of the book is directly in relation to Orson Krennic…
The electric personality and devious attitude of Krennic’s is something we haven’t seen since well…Tarkin!
With class and an air of royalty Orson Krennic has an aura of regal power.
His intelligence is inspiring and his quick wit is exceptional. A character of Krennic’s stature is a surefire home run for Star Wars fans.
Undoubtedly, I expect him to be at the center of attention whenever Krennic is on the screen. He lives for the moment, his analysis of his surroundings is impeccable and his actions are as precises as his cape is white.
What makes the Empire so evil that they’re cool is their crisp and flawless display of order and power.
The Imperial Officers radiate stern discipline mixed with intense ambition hellbent on burning the Galaxy down all the while looking sophisticated and sharp as ever.
This is Krennic in a nutshell. His rise to power is not due to a muscular, taut physique or a gifted skill that sets him apart from just about anybody.
No what sets him apart is his tireless attitude and his insatiable hunger for power and recognition.
He is crafty as he is guile and his smooth haughtiness reigns supreme.
Obsessed with the Death Star’s completion, Krennic will risk everything for the ultimate of achievement of being recognized as the father of the ultimate weapon.
However, if you cross him and become subject to his wrath you might feel nothing…then again you probably won’t feel a thing as his enemies had a talent for succumbing to horrible and tragic “accidents”.
What’s more to say? Krennic wields more power than most know.
It’s one thing to be a danger of a man with great importance but it’s the ones who enjoy high profile status and have zero hesitation in doing what is deemed necessary, for the “good” of the people.
Those individuals are truly terrifying.
And I got splendid news for you all, Krennic is that type of man.
Besides seeing Vader and his swashbuckling prowess, Orson Krennic wins the title for my “most interesting man” award.
Just wait and see, Krennic will bring the heat and we will bask in his fiery passions.
