I thought that the story line for this movie was great, and though some minor parts were foreseeable, the majority of the film was unpredictable. The movie was high action and fun to watch.
Additionally, the acting from the entire cast was well done. I especially enjoyed the fact that people you wouldn’t normally expect in a Star Wars movie were in this movie. Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover and Thandie Newton were all surprise additions that did a fantastic job in their roles.
I thought that all of the women played strong roles who didn’t need men to save them or make their decisions for them. The scene-stealer with all the comedic one lies was again a robot, L3-37, voiced by comedic actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I thought that her script was really funny and progressive. I would have liked to see more of Thandie’s character, Val, but the part that she played was impactful. The person, however, who stole the show for me though, was Emilia Clarke, in her role as Qi'ra. She was mysterious, manipulative, and resourceful and was just an overall refreshing role.
I felt like watching some of the late 70s and early 80s Star Wars movies would have helped to add additional context to this movie but it wasn’t a requirement. This is the second origin story that I felt like was better than the new Star Wars sequels. In the end, even though, this wasn’t as good as Rogue One (the original origin story), I do think that this was another well done film that everyone can enjoy.
