Nov 24 2024 113 mins

As we gear up for our coverage of Season 1 of Andor, we thought we'd stop by the film that started it all first-- 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We discuss our feelings for the film when we first saw it in theaters and how, as we've grown, our opinions have changed over time. We also touch on real life connections to the movie, controversies, and why the film is just as impo

It's a bittersweet episode as we bid adieu to our often beloved, often confusing Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2D2 and C3PO. At least...until The Great Heap!
