With tomorrow being the opening night for Rogue One, there is a distinct thrill in the air.
All over social media, throughout commercials and even permeating news shows, Rogue One has been discussed almost everywhere.
The reviews are fantastic, the fanbase is hungry and Rogue One is ready to satisfy.
I fully expect this movie to be as masterful, exciting and entertaining as everything we’ve been hearing.
In fact, I’ll go so far to say I think I am more excited to see Rogue one than I was to see The Force Awakens…
Big statement right there.
This movie is going to be a big one and with it comes expectations. Now I’m not talking about how it will fare, I’m saying expectations on what we will see!
Here’s some things to look for…
3. How will the beginning of the Rebel movement compete with the Empire?
Without the Force to aid their cause at this point how will the early-stage Rebels compete with the Empire?
Extremely crafty and guerrilla style warfare will be very pertinent for the Rebels to survive.
Remember, at this point in the saga the Rebellion is most certainly established but they are without a surefire victory that allows them to draw attention to themselves thus boosting their numbers of enlistment.
Not to mention the Rebels have done little in the realm of hurting the Empire. Sure they’ve caused major headaches for Imperials everywhere and limited their growth here and there but they have yet to unleash a signature devastating blow that even the Emperor feels.
How will they do it and will we see some sort of that magic in Rogue One?
2. The evils of Krennic.
Orson Krennic is in charge of getting the Death Star’s super laser operable. What lengths will the Director of the Galaxy’s most feared weapon go to?
It’s clear from “Catalyst” that he stopped at nothing to get what he felt was his but in Rogue One I assume he’s willing and capable of going a step further than that.
Does that mean the wife of Galen Erso, Lyra finally encounters that “accident” that Krennic so badly wanted her to have?
It was clear during the book that he was under major pressure from the Empire’s higher ups but in Rogue One it’s safe to say the pressure Orson Krennic will be under is immense.
There’s very little mention of Vader and Krennic together in the book but in the movie it will be a different story!
I think the trailers tell us enough!
1. Will Vader be unleashed?
For so long now we’ve heard that this is the coming out party for Darth Vader. That finally our imagination of what the man in the suit is fully capable of takes form.
Will we truly get to see the thunderous blade of crimson death ripping through flesh and bone? Or will we see a more lenient version of Vader’s powers as he still sets an example with the Rebels but in a more tamed way?
I’d like to imagine a scene where it’s quiet, there’s a band of Rebels in a secluded area with high grass separating them from everything else when out of nowhere Lord Vader takes the stage and absolutely decimates the traitors with his mighty blade.
How epic would that be??
PREDICTION!
The one prediction I have for Rogue One and I know this isn’t going too far out on a limb but I believe in some form or way we will see Princess Leia or maybe the Tantive IV getting ready to take off at the end of the movie.
Of course we know the first scene in the franchise is the epic chase with Vader’s flagship The Devastator chasing down Bail Organa’s Tantive IV in attempts to recapture the stolen Death Star plans.
With that being the entire premise of Rogue One, it’s possible we see what happens right before The Devastator does go in pursuit of the Tantive IV.
Final Word
Finally the movie is upon us.
After so much speculation we finally will have the first ever standalone Star Wars film.
I want to take this time to sincerely wish everyone who watches Rogue One tomorrow a great time filled with memorable moments that will last a lifetime.
This is my 100th blog post so for my readers, thank you.
Until next time Star Wars fans.
