“So that we may boldly say, The Lord my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Hebrews 13:6

God has a better plan for us, namely to trust and lean on Him. LessonsĬassian, Jyn and K-2SO are the trio that make up the main characters, but others will be enlisted to help, and it is through their words and deeds that lessons can be gleaned on matters such as fear, faith and hope, as they find their way into this Sci-Fi fantasy.įear: Saw Gerrera has been wanted by the Empire for so long that it has clearly made him paranoid, to the point he even suspects the girl he raised as wanting to kill him. No kissing or great affection takes place, as is fitting for this type of a mission driven, action focused film. A small holographic dancing girl is seen in slightly dubious attire, but the poor resolution makes it more akin to a video game. Although language should not be an issue for parents, the violence is more than a sufficient reason to prevent your children from seeing this and getting desensitized to violence at an early age.įILM VIOLENCE-How does viewing violence in movies affect families? Answer Thousands die, as seen from a distance, whenever the Death Star unleashes a fraction of its power, which is more powerful than a nuclear explosion. A mother is shot in front of her child’s eyes, and another child, standing in the middle of heavy crossfire, cries incessantly from terror. A character is threatened with insanity after exposure to a very large slug type creature. While the battles are bloodless and not graphic people are still killed in a variety of ways including: being shot by blasters, cannon fire, blown up, caught in debris, cut down by light saber or crushed against a bulkhead. No profanity is used at all, but what may be of concern to parents of younger children would be the threatening language often used, most often from Director Krennic, and even the sadistic joy he exudes over the death of thousands when he simply calls it “beautiful.” The Lord’s name is not taken in vain, although Darth Vader is referred to as Lord, but none addressing him subscribe to his “ancient religion” and use it more as a title.

Rated PG-13, there are, of course, a few areas of concern worth noting. “Rogue One” maintains a serious tone throughout the film, thus limiting the light-hearted moments, also serving to point out the most notable difference it has with “A New Hope,” but it does have the requisite excitement we have come to expect from some of the best of the Star Wars series, including some thrillingly battles both on the ground and in space. But Imperial forces have now occupied the last holy city of Jedha and Director Krennic will stop at nothing to keep the secret of the Death Star from reaching the Alliance. The Rebel Alliance dispatches Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), and a reprogrammed Imperial Battle Droid K-2SO (voiced by FireFly star Alan Tudyk) to accompany Jyn in her meeting with Saw Gerrera to learn if the rumors are true. It happens that the man who raised Jyn, Saw Gerrera ( Forest Whitaker) a well-known and feared agitator who has his own ways of fighting back against the Empire, has come into possession of a defecting Imperial pilot with news of the Empire’s latest weapon and only through Jen can they hope to get an audience with the reclusive extremist. Years pass and Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) is being sought by the newly formed Rebel Alliance. However, Galen manages to get his daughter to safety before he himself is taken away and once again forced to serve Imperial Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) on a secret project for the Empire. “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” opens with a research scientist in hiding named Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) who, along with his wife and daughter Jyn, has just been tracked down by the Empire. However, the events just preceding that film, which is about the brave heroes that risked their lives to deliver that ‘new hope’ has never been told, until now.

“A Long Time Ago” (back in 1977) George Lucas launched the phenomenon that would attract audiences worldwide with the original “ Star Wars: A New Hope.” The adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia, as they tried to convey the stolen blueprints of the Empire’s deadliest new weapon over into the hands of the Rebel Alliance, was our first introduction to that saga.
