Despite feeling burned and scammed by the prequel trilogy, then underwhelmed by the first of the sequel trilogy, I’m finding myself watching and rewatching the Rogue One teaser and trailer.
Why am I returning to this franchise after so much disappointment?
One, it’s directed by Gareth Edwards whose Monsters and Godzilla balanced big-creature spectacle with believable characters and emotions.
Two, it has a scrappy band of rebels that includes Forest Whitaker, Donnie Yen, and Jiang Wen.
And three, we know how it ends. The teaser and trailer have a Dirty Dozen or Wild Geese vibe so it’s not so much the destination but the journey.
Hell yeah, I’m in.
