On the other hand Rogue One is THE prequel to A New Hope. The Force Awakens lacked all of the gritty, desperate feeling the original series had, and in a lot of ways, it belongs more with the prequel trilogy than the Originals. Disney had taken a safe Marvel plot and hired a canned director to film it. Rogue One far outshines The Force Awakens, which was fun on first viewing but it left a bitter taste in my mouth and utterly failed as a Star Wars film.Īfter watching The Force Awakens a second time with clearer thoughts it became noticeable that, although there were amazing moments, it wasn't a Star Wars movie. It is exceptional both as a Star Wars film and in the way it treats the Star Wars universe. I can't even express how much I love this movie.
