It shares much with that vaunted classic, including characters (some beloved, some minor) and interlinking storylines (some kickass, some Easter egged). As the central plot involves the blueprint for the Death Star, a key plotpoint in the first act of Star Wars Episode IV from 1977, it's not spoilerish to say that the franchise's latest entry leads right up into that very same flick.
Part sci-fi flick, part sequel, part war movie, part prequel, and part character-driven adventure, Rogue One is many things to many moviegoers but the whole package proves quite entertaining, able to satisfy new fans while pacifying most long-time diehards save for the true curmudgeons.
In this PG-13-rated sci-fi adventure, the daughter (Felicity Jones) of an Imperial scientist (Mads Mikkelsen) joins the Rebel Alliance in a risky move to steal the Death Star plans.

It also allows the movie to plug in to another element of the war movie genre - who doesn’t love a good fighter pilot story? - and play with what it’s like to be “just” a soldier in the intergalactic conflict, as opposed to one of the movers and shakers responsible for the major victories.A Rogue agent in all of the right ways, this superb Star Wars Story might have much of the franchise's storied mythology running through its DNA but its edgy design and execution speaks of a bold and exciting jump into a new hyperspace for the historic series.

Indeed, the news that Felicity Jones has been the first actor announced for the movie suggests that she might be the title character, giving us - finally! - female pilots in the Star Wars universe after they got cut from Return of the Jedi 30 years ago. This doesn’t mean that the movie might not focus on the early career of Antilles, and recast the part - or, of course, simply put a new character in the Rogue Squadron pole position altogether. After all, the 67-year-old Lawson might not be interested in reprising the role, nor might Disney be interested in maintaining such tight continuity with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens timeline for its stand-alone installments in the series. Previously, that role was filled by Wedge Antilles, a character that appeared in the original trilogy, played by Denis Lawson, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that he would be the Rogue One in any future movie projects.
