While Rogue One was peppered with plenty of references and homages to previous Star Wars films — especially A New Hope — the parts that got the biggest cheers in the theater from diehard fans were when Red Leader and Gold Leader popped up during the climactic battle scene. Gareth Edwards had used cut footage of both actors from the original Star Wars to fit them into this movie, and it was a very cool surprise. But we did have one question: Where was Luke Skywalker’s buddy Wedge?
My inner 'Star Wars' geek is going crazy right now. I really think I might be more excited about this installment in the 'Star Wars' saga than Episode VII.
Now that the end is in sight for the original nine episodes of 'Star Wars,' it's awesome to see some new movies to check out. For those of you that are not familiar with the 'Rogue One' movie, it's set up to show the story of how the Rebellion stole the plans for the Death Star.
