It was the first stand-alone Star Wars live-action film, but was it a strong addition to the hallowed franchise? This week, Colleen, Ed, Matt, and Josh tackle Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We analyze the characters, the plot, and the connections to the Original Trilogy. We also take a look at the Legends (Extended Universe) canon and examine if Rogue One and Episode VII are worthy replacements for what many authors had previously created. This week also features our tribute to Carrie Fisher - an amazing person who shall forever live amongst the stars.
