In context:<\/strong> For many, myself included, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the best canonical SW movie since the original trilogy. It was so well received that the writers had framed out a sequel, but it never went into production. It was probably for the best, though. <\/p>\n

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story debuted in theaters on December 16, 2016. It quickly broke a billion dollars at the box office, officially making it a blockbuster hit. It should be no surprise since fans and critics liked Rogue One better than the prequel trilogy released more than 10 years earlier.<\/p>\n

Part of what made Rogue One so great is that it didn’t have the stereotypical Hollywood ending. It didn’t come to a happy little feel-good conclusion, at least not for the Rogue One crew, but that was a good thing. The heroes didn’t get to stoop to receive medals from Princess Leia because \u2014 spoiler alert \u2014 they all died.<\/p>\n

Their sacrifice tied directly into the beginning of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Leia’s message to Obi-Wan Kenobi being “our only hope,” as Vader and his Stormtroopers boarded her vessel. It showed the real sacrifice that the Rogue One crew made to get the Death Star plans to the Rebel Alliance.<\/p>\n
