7 Reasons That Rogue One Could Be The Best Star Wars Film Ever

With all of the newly announced entries into the Star Wars universe beginning to take shape, only one of them stands out as different from the others, and actually seems to warrant fan's attention.

3) Hit Us With That Old-School

While I’m all for expanding the Star Wars universe, like the majority of people are, I’m very interested to see us travel back to the time frame of A New Hope, except from a different perspective of everything that shook down after Luke Skywalker got his grubby little fingers on a weapon of destruction.

What was the Rebel cause like during that time period? What did Rebel soldiers think of the Jedi order? These are just a few of the questions that I would love for Rogue One to answer once it comes out. And I’m betting that it will.

2) A Gritty Star Wars Film Is Quite Interesting

I honestly hope that Rogue One will be drastically different tone wise to the Star Wars films that have lead up to it. What I primarily mean is I’d like the film to be The Dirty Dozen meets intergalactic warfare/espionage. I’d like it to be the chance for Disney to explore the rather dark and slightly depressing side of the war between the Empire and Rebel Cause.

This is being stated not because I have an issue with the other Star Wars films, but only because for the most part, they don’t show that the aspect of war and what war can do to people, especially a war that takes place in another galaxy and features soldiers using blaster rifles. Rogue One, however, looks like it will show audiences exactly that, and I can’t wait.

I’m also hoping that Rogue One will pave the way for other Star Wars films to go a bit darker. Can you imagine if we got a Star Wars movie revolving around a cluster of Storm Troopers in the form of Saving Private Ryan?
