If Rogue One has any drawback, it’s that we don’t get to spend enough time with the main characters to know them very well. Speaking personally though, no two thrilled me more than appearances by Gold Leader and Red Leader (played by Angus MacInnes and Drewe Henley), thanks to some unused outtake footage from 1977 and a digital assist from ILM (MacInnes actually came back to record new lines for the cameo). There are-as you’d expect of a film that ends where A New Hope begins-many connections to the original trilogy. And it’s hard not to love any film that includes Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen, especially when the latter is playing a Zatoichi-inspired character. Alan Tudyk also shines as K-2SO, a kind of comic anti-C-3PO, despite the fact that he’s an entirely CG character. Certainly, he was assisted by digital wizardry, but the performance is all Henry’s and he nails it. There are many good performances here, but special notice must be given to British actor Guy Henry, who captures Peter Cushing’s essence and mannerisms as Grand Moff Tarkin with great success. If anyone doubted that Star Wars could survive without Skywalkers, that doubt has now been laid to rest. As much as we’ve all come to love tales of Jedi and Sith, it’s also great to finally get a glimpse of what life is like for the everyman in the Empire’s shadow. It’s fascinating to see a film set in this universe with a decidedly Zero Dark Thirty tone-it’s essentially a special ops mission. It features a new story, with fresh and diverse characters, yet still feels familiar and bridges the gap for new audiences to the original trilogy.
