Rogue One SPOILER thread

We know the context here. Somewhere else, the simple story is about to begin: the brave farmboy with secret gifts, the princess without a throne, the smuggler who finally finds a treasure worth keeping. The last teachers of the lost arts, goodness, loss with purpose, gain with hope.

Right now, those stories seem hopelessly naive, both in- and out-universe.

So maybe this is the movie we need, another, more complicated look at struggle and redemption, even if no victory is ever final. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm hopeful (from my knowledge of the franchise, if nothing else) that it will be, at the very least, a good watch. I'm interested to see what else there is in it.

(Like all Making Light spoiler threads, this is a place to discuss the film without having to ROT-13 spoilers. Because it does contain them, though, and thus excludes those in our community who want to avoid knowing too much before seeing the film, please do not let the conversation stray.)
