“Rogue One”: a critique of the new “Star Wars”film – MIRROR ONLINE

“The force is with me, and I’m with the Power”: The blind warrior Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen) repeated the Jedi Mantra again and again, then he stretches a Stormtrooper to the other with the most elegant of his long fight stock low Blows. Îmwe, accompanied by his buddy, the beefy, to the teeth Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen), armed with a tragedy is resolving taxonomic Samurai.

the noble and the sublime, he is not acting, rather a bit ridiculous and trashy. As the creators of the “Star Wars”movie, “Rogue One would make” a little fun with the Yes, in fact, always a bit nuts acting spiritual Superstructure of the Blockbuster Saga, The heroic Jedi, in this pack, and surprisingly throaty war film from Director Gareth Edwards (“Monsters”, “Godzilla”) to play only the subordinate role of clownish sidekick, make for a bit of comic relief.

Because the world of the “Rogue One” is not the Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia, let alone the new heroine Rey from “The awakening of the Power”, the spectacular reboot of the movie series from a year ago. The “Power”, at least her dark side is in this link between the Original”Star Wars”trilogy and Prequels, the zero years controlled entirely in the hands of the fascist Empire of the distant, fictional “Star Wars”galaxy, from the villainous Sith Lords such as Darth Vader and their uniformed minions. The Film tells the story of a small group of rebels has rolled the fate together and want to steal the totalitarian Regime, the plans for its most terrible weapon: the death star.

The idea for the “Rogue One” was John Knoll, the Visual Director of the Prequel trilogy, over ten years ago, inspired by the so-called “Crawl”, which is established to All driving font, with the in 1977, at the beginning of the original”Star Wars”film, the Scenery. The complete, in truth, fairly clear plot of “Rogue One” finds himself in the few lines that can recite every Hardcorefan of the Saga by heart: “It is civil war…”.

successful Experiment

Only after the sale of the Franchise rights by “Star Wars”Creator George Lucas to Disney, the possibility to realize the project. Disney and producer Kathleen Kennedy to open the Lucas universe in the far-flung realms of Fan-Fiction and Zudichtungen that have formed in the course of the decades the “star wars”.

In the coming years parallel to the main series, which was conducted with “Episode VII”, single anthology-films such as “Rogue One”, their staff, and action should intersect with the main actors. For Disney has Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar is currently the most appealing Blockbuster suppliers, a lucrative business. The content of evaluation and diversification of the brand “Star Wars” are virtually limitless.

“Rogue One”: video news of the world premiere in Hollywood:

so it’s reassuring that the first of these Stand-Alone-movies a successful Experiment. Director Edwards takes on the civil war theme of the Saga is a serious and dedicated with his Film the many Displaced and Uprooted each of the protracted conflict.

His group of fighters is composed of spies, such as Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), the vagrant of the Jedi-knights of the breakaway Empire pilots Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), and – of course – a witty, unruly nose have droid named K-2SO. A key appearance, the rebel guerrilla, Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), a figure that has been borrowed from the animated series “The clone wars”.

In the centre, however, as in “Episode VII”, a young woman who is entangled by your family Background and the resulting fate deep in the tensions between Empire and resistance. Jyn Erso it is, finally, the Desperado Team wants to infiltrate flocking and a tightly-guarded base in the Empire, the death star-get plans. In the key is weak, the leads in “Episode IV” for the first Triumph of Luke Skywalker’s. Felicity Jones, recently the Highlight of the otherwise dull Dan Brown Thriller “Inferno”, this between the fronts iridescent Drifterin, which bite into their Mission, with a dark brooding Look as Amazons Version of Leia.

Tangible reality

Anyway, the mood is darker than usual. While there are always a breathtaking sight of the values and well-dosed set of Gags and references, which should please the Fan-heart. However, Rogue One “war movie” Genre of Fantasy: After a somewhat cumbersome Exposition, which introduces you to many places and people, will enter the action in the second half of the string, and focuses on fast-paced, explosively staged Action sequences. The Bodycount is remarkably high for a 12 shared family Blockbuster.

in Addition, strive in the Edwards Team, the action in the conflict zones of the Erdrealität. Locations Desert intended to serve, the war-bombed-out ruins and temples on the destroyed cultural monuments of Palmyra and other sites in Syria and in Iraq remind. The oversized radio tower to the dizzying heights plays in the final, looks like the Burj-Khalifa, he towers, in Dubai, on an artificial oasis landscape.

Perhaps it was this noticeable reality, Chris Weitz, one of the two screenwriters of the “Rogue One”, which led to a now-deleted Tweet: “Please note that the Empire is a white supremacist (human) organization”. Soon after, the indignation of the American Alt-Right movement, which spread the Fake News was formed under the Hashtag #dump star wars, it would have been last-Minute Changes in the “Rogue One”, in order to implement Anti-Trump statement.

A PR Disaster for Disney, that Was from the pre-Christmas launch of the “Star Wars”movie to Be made, such as “Captain America: Civil war”, “Finding Dory” and “Vaiana” (Germany start at 22. December) a further blockbuster hoped for, and the fear of a Boycott. Disney chief Bob Iger released at the beginning of the week, the trade journal “The Hollywood Reporter” a reassuring Statement, in which he stated, “Rogue One” is a Film, “in which everyone should enjoy. It is not a movie that is in any Form, politically. There are no political Statements therein, not in the slightest.”

at the same time Iger praised the “greatest and most diverse” Ensemble, ‘ve ever had a “Star Wars”movie – and leads to his claim that the Film was apolitical, even to the point of absurdity.

Because how could a gang, which consists of a self-determined woman, a Mexican, a Black, two Asians, a Pakistani British, a service robot, and all sorts of fantasy creatures, and against an army of white-armoured storm troop inaugural, the old white men in command, in these times, not as a riot of diversity against a suppressive Regime to be realized? A stunner, this new “Star Wars”Film, in every respect.
