ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY (full review at The Reel Word)

Rogue One is the first stand alone Star Wars movie in the new, post-Lucas era, and follows the group of rebels responsible for obtaining the plans to the Death Star, thus enabling the events of Star Wars: A New Hope.

As a child, Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), witnesses the capture of her engineer father, Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), by Imperial Director Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) and a platoon of Death Troopers. Krennic is the driving force behind the creation of the Death Star and requires Galen Erso to create it.  Forced into hiding for many years, Jyn is recruited by the Rebel Alliance, following the defection of Imperial pilot Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), who brings a message from Galen in the hope that the rebels will defeat the weapon he has created.
