Yet good characters died in this, but they were NOWHERE near as important as Han Solo, who was killed off by his son Kylo Ren in TFA, traumatizing me and many others. The Death Star in this was at minimal power and the results were just more than the biggest nuclear explosion Earth's ever had (which was Tsar Bomba dropped in 1961 with 50 MT yield) in cities that didn't contain a lot of people and many escaped alive. Now people did say this was really dark for a Star Wars movie, and it was definitely darker than most, but NOTHING like the Force Awakens or even Ep IV - A New Hope (where Alderaan and everyone on it got destroyed), as the 1st Order destroyed the planets with the Starkiller Base killing all the inhabitants. It's better than The Force Awakens, because that was a rehash of the original trilogy. Yet there was no screaming anywhere or even at the end with this movie.
VER STAR WARS ROGUE ONE ONLINE MOVIE
I watched this movie when it came out and it was at least mediocre when it came to Star Wars movies, though let's get things straight.įirst of all, everyone was calm and it wasn't hyped like the Justin Bieber concert known as Ep VII - The Force Awakens that left everyone on Earth and even the natural animals erupting like crazy into thunderous applause. I think in the end this will hurt Disney's box office by limiting the appeal to teens and adults and away from families. Some of the violence is necessary to tell an exciting story, but some of it crossed the line and felt gratuitous.

A group of engineers gunned down execution style A lot of people getting shot with blasters, one scene a stormtrooper is shot right in the head at close range. (why show the mother being killed up close - they could have shot this from far away or shown the reaction of others at the scene) A mother is shot and killed right in front of her (8 yo?) daughter. There's no blood or gore but a lot of characters getting killed with blasters. I went to a 10am screening this morning just to decide if it would be OK for my two Star Wars fanatic kids age 8 and 10 (we have tickets for tonight). Rogue One is exciting and beautifully shot, and maybe one of my favorite movies this year, but it's just not as fun as a Star Wars movie. I have to say that the previous Star Wars movies balanced swashbuckling adventure with humor and heart. Great movie but would not recommend it for kids.
