Diverse Fan Reactions to Rogue One - Guest Post By Patty Hammond
It has been almost a week since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has been released and many reviews have been posted by a variety of media
outlets. Today, I want to share with you
a variety of reactions to Rogue One
from fans I know via social media.
I asked for short reactions, limited to two
sentences, and will present them by their first name, their profession and what Generation
they belong to. Hopefully, you will
enjoy these diverse reactions from my social media friends about Rogue One.
Greta, Retired, Baby Boomer Generation
“Rogue
One is a great addition to the Star Wars story, giving much more depth and
urgency to ANH. But (sorry) it didn't grab me the way The Empire Strikes Back
did.”
Kate, Marketing Professional, Millennial
“After the initial shock of a saga-less
Star Wars I became increasingly more captivating by Rogue One. The emotional intensity, dazzling special effects and
climactic ending cemented this film into a solid start for the first of many
Star Wars stories to come.”
Amy, Mother/Direct Support Professional, Millennial
“Rogue
One was visually stunning, but some of the choices that the story made did
not resonate with me. This film left me feeling defeated and emotionally
exhausted and multiple viewings aren't going to happen for me.”
Pippa, Author, Generation X
“Rogue
One is a must-see for even non-Star Wars fans, but be prepared for gritty
realism and tragedy. Dark, action-packed and no sugar coating: this is a true
war film and will change your view of A
New Hope forever.”
Viv, Writer, Generation X
“Rogue
One was the prequel I wanted all those years ago, a
story more about characters and struggle than set pieces and silliness. It is
one with the Force.”
Christina, stay-at-home-mom, Millennial
“Rogue
One was the prequel I always wanted because it
answered all the questions I had at the beginning of A New Hope, but soon forgot because that story didn't require them.
While not my favorite or least favorite Star Wars movie, it does fit perfectly
with all the rest.”
Stewart, Marketing Manager, Millennial
“Rogue One mostly eschews the mythological
and ramps up the reality, yet maintains that sense of Star Wars wonder. I felt
as if I was living Rogue One in the
cinema; I'm still living it after multiple viewings as I mainline Michael
Giacchino's score and consume the related books.”
Connie, Teacher, Generation X
"I love all the nuances of Rogue One and believe that it's a worthy
addition to the Star Wars mythology. My perspective of A New Hope is forever changed for the better because of Rogue One.
9/10 😊"
