That bit of never-really-questioned-before storyline makes up the backbone of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," a spinoff story that has almost nothing to do with the Skywalker clan (since Disney can only milk them for so much) and everything to do with the Rebellion they serve. While "Rogue One" feels tonally unsynced with the rest of the colorful saga, it is a solid enough action movie with endearing characters and a story that intertwines with "A New Hope's."
Imperial shuttle pilot Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed) has defected, and wants to tell the Rebellion about a horrifying new superweapon that the Empire is building, the Death Star. Unfortunately, he quickly falls into the hands of an extremist, Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), who believes the whole thing is one big trap. So to find Gerrera, Bodhi and the information, the Rebellion rescues Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), a young woman who was partially raised by Gerrera... and it happens, her dad Galen (Mads Mikkelson) is also the designer of the Death Star.
Finding Bodhi and his information is easier said than done, since Jyn and Rebel officer Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) end up running afoul of Imperials on the remote planet of Jedha -- and find unexpected allies in a blind warrior-monk (Donnie Yen) and a gun-toting merc (Jiang Wen). But when Jyn discovers the true information on the Death Star, she also witnesses the sheer magnitude of its power -- and must take matters into her own hands when it seems the Rebellion doesn't know what to do.
Ever since Disney got their paws on Lucasfilm, they've been prepping for seemingly hundreds of spinoff properties, most of them not having much to do with the central family saga of Star Wars. But don't worry, the movie will let you know constantly that it's a Star Wars movie -- at times it feels like it's nudging you in the ribs with its many cameos and references, which feels unnecessary since it's directly and intimately intertwined with "A New Hope."
But taken on its own, "Rogue One" is a pretty solid sci-fi action movie, focusing more on the gritty, grimy, ill-equipped Rebellion (or Alliance, whichever) and the ordinary people who struggle against the evil Empire, as well as some internal struggles (a cutthroat general who keeps ordering Cassian to kill people). But it also adds some new and intriguing layers from Lucas' own past efforts, such as a warrior-monk of the "Whills," and glimpses of a great Jedi-centric civilization now broken and lost in the desert dust.
And of course, the action scenes are pretty spectacular, giving us glimpses of the Death Star's power... from the perspective of people on the ground. Giant blasts that reach out into space, Imperial walkers stamping through forests, star destroyers facing down against Rebel fleets, and some confusing but massive air battles. And of course, Darth Vader makes his grand reappearance, dripping with contempt for Imperial ambition and all-too-ready to slash through rebels.
However, it's rather tonally different from all other Star Wars movies -- it lacks that pervasively mystical edge (despite Chirrut's Force mantra) and is relentlessly gritty rather than showing us wondrous worlds and places. What's more, it's a very, very dark story with a lot of death... which does give us a glimpse of what the Rebellion suffers to defeat the Empire, but it's also a bit depressing.
But the cast is absolutely stellar. Jones can't come across as scrappy and rough as the character is supposed to be, but she's a solid action heroine who combines optimism and brusque rebelliousness. And Luna gives a thoroughly excellent performance as a devoted soldier who is haunted by the ugly tasks that his general sometimes demands he do, and torn between wanting to protect and help Jyn and following the orders that might be necessary.
It also has some solid performances by Mikkelson, Ahmed and Ben Mendelsohn, although Whitaker seems to be determined that no scenery will be left without his teeth marks. But some of the supporting characters are glorious -- Alan Tudyk as a snarky, no-filter-having droid, and Wen as a gun-happy merc who has a fun buttkicking bromance with Yen's laid-back ex-monk. Yen is particularly fun as a not-quite-Jedi who seems content to just float along with the Force's will, and provides many fun moments ("Are you kidding me? I'M BLIND!").
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" has some tonal dissonance and too many references to the other movies, but it's a solid sci-fi adventure with a talented cast, and likely will keep fans of the Star Wars saga thoroughly entertained.

Einfach kaufen, da kann man nichts falsch mit machen. Hat Gefühl, spektakuläre Action und eine straight erzählte Geschichte sowie die coolste Szene die es in Star Wars bisher gab, die werde ich natürlich nicht Spoilern.
Nun in einer etwas ausführlicheren Form:
Ich war den kleineren Star Wars Storys eher kritisch gestimmt, aber hier haben wir meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach Spiel, Satz und Sieg.
Der Film schlägt von Anfang an einen eher düsteren Ton an. In den ersten Minuten merkt man sofort, der Film wird kein Kindergarten. Es handelt sich durch und durch um eine erwachsene Kriegsgeschichte im Star Wars Universum die zum ersten mal etwas untypisches zeigt, echten Krieg, und so fühlt er sich auch an, jedoch ohne das glorreiche Star Wars Feeling zu verlieren. Der Fokus liegt hier, wie bekannt sein sollte, auf der Beschaffung der Pläne des Todessterns und somit liegt der Fokus nicht auf den Jedi, der Macht (auch wenn diese vorkommt) und den großen Anführen. Es wird auf die kleinen geblickt, die Soldaten, Saboteure, Spione, Deserteure und Ausgestoßene. Man sieht wie diese leiden, sich an der Hoffnung festklammern, dass sie auf manche ihrer Taten nicht stolz sind. Dies wird an den Protagonisten festgemacht die einem während des Filmes überraschend stark ans Herz wachsen. All diese Dinge werden gezeigt während die Handlung mit einem guten pacing durcherzählt wird und obwohl man das Ende ja kennt wird eine schöne Spannung erzeugt. Wir haben also einen Film mit guter Handlung (die Überraschend gut und logisch in das Universum passt) und sowohl unterschiedlichen also auch liebenswürdigen Hauptcharakteren, was mich zu meinem Lieblingspunkt am Film bringt. Der hat bei mir echte Emotionen ausgelöst, und zwar solche wie man sie nun mal von Kriegsfilmen kennt, nur eben im Star Wars Universum. Deshalb hat mir der Film auch Zuhause etwas besser gefallen, auch wenn die Bildgewalt natürlich kleiner ist, konnten die Emotionen bei mir Zuhause wesentlich besser greifen und mich packen als mit 60 Leuten im Kinosaal.
Aber woher kommt das Star Wars Gefühl in einem Film der so "Kriegsfilmmisch" ist?
Mal abgesehen von der Star Wars typischen Optik selbstverständlich durch die super actionreichen Schlachten, den kleinen Auftritten von lange bekannten Charakteren, den Dialogen, Ansprachen und der Musik. Die Star Wars Gänsehaut soll jedem Fan gewiss sein, aber keine Sorge, die Anspielungen sind völlig im Rahmen und nicht so übermäßig wie in Episode VII.
Das CGI: Es gibt in dem Film 2 Charaktere die komplett aus CGI sind, das ließ sich anders nicht machen. Es gibt Leute die sagen das würde einen komplett herausreißen. Vielleicht hab ich dafür einen zu schlechten Blick aber mir sind diese nicht negativ aufgefallen. Ich empfand sie als sehr Lebensecht, von da her in meine Augen kein Negativpunkt.
Zu Letzt noch eins, es gibt eine Szene die so unglaublich cool ist dass sich der Film alleine dafür lohnt, Star Wars Fans wird dort das Herz explodieren.
Ich liebe den Film ...

I've shown this film to at least 14 different non Star Wars fans-friends and family (not at the same time!), they've all said how much they enjoyed the film and it wasn't what they were expecting.
As a fan I must say 'hats off' to the writers and team behind Rogue One, the attention to details from the 1977 original are fantastic-Well done!

Kann an dem Film wirklich nichts aussetzen und würde ihm jeden Star Wars Fan uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Leider hat man es nicht geschafft oder gewollt, diesen "neuen Wind" auf Episode VII+VIII zu übertragen. Sehr Schade für jeden Fan!!! Meine Meinung.

I am a little jealous.....because, even though we had to start with Phantom Menace, it all stood up together rather well (Revenge of the Syth was the best of the frist three according to my daughter!).............but all that aside when it came to rogue one we were both hypnotized and amazed by this film (It was my third go at it and it looked even better the third time!!).
I guess it is the heart and the texture of the film, settings, characters and use of effects which makes this prelude to episode 4 so outstanding. The thing that makes the best star wars films tick is the heart of the story, supported by the masterfully poignant use of effects, props, the force mythology and quality character building. For me this film has it all - and everyone involved should be so proud of this -
You should have seen the look on my daughters face when episode 4 kicked in - the story and how it continued made sense to her and she really wanted to know more about everything.......but as far as the film being a stand alone goes it also is so memorable and rewarding a viewing experience - the ending leaves you pumping but also distraught, and excited - just like any decent mythical short story, you are itching for more.
Mythical stories tend to contain the bare bones of what an audience truely craves - the heroes and villains yes, but also the fight, the heart and the adventure, the passion....you do not need to show everything about a character - leave the audience something to use their imaginations with.........I
Anyway I am starting to twitter on, so just let me re-assure you if you have any doubts - this film rocks - the people who made this did so with great care and affection. Watch, enjoy, then watch again.........
By the way - watching all 8 films so far in order is an awesome experience.......just have to wait 5 months and me and my little one will be in front of the big screen waiting for The Last Jedi........my daughter rated this film in first place, new hope in 2nd, Empire Strikes Back 3rd and believe it or not Force Awakens 4th............and yes I kind of agree with her! We both agreed that whatever the case this has to be one of the greatest stories told ever!
