Director: Gareth Edwards
Starring: Felicity Jones, Forest Whitaker, Diego Luna
Release: December 16th, 2016
This looks better than The Force Awakens. Blasphemy perhaps, but it seems like what we wanted as fans, but without the old stars to muddle the quality (I’m looking at you, Leia). Walkers, Stormtroopers, that cold Rebel commander lady; awesome, awesome, awesome. Add in Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) as a star and you’ve got yourselves a guaranteed hit. Oh, and the other actors in it don’t hurt: Whitaker, Luna, Mads Mikkelsen (The Salvation), and the amazing Ben Mendelsohn (Black Sea, Slow West, Mississippi Grind) who I just absolutely love in everything. AND the director knows what he’s doing, with the great Monsters under his belt and even Godzilla, which wasn’t good but did have incredible visuals. This movie is going to rock.
