Between the motion capture of Alan Tudyk as K-2SO and the revival of the original Imperial Star Destroyers, Rogue One delivered a satisfying spectacle in the visual department.
One of the most spectacular moments of Rogue One came during the film’s climactic battle sequence above the planet Scarif, when the aforementioned Star Destroyers crashed into each other and crumbled to pieces.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story kicked off the standalone era of Star Wars films in thrilling fashion, delivering a story filled with action, heart, and even suspense — even though most fans knew how it would end.
The Star Wars franchise has featured epic space battles before, but few moments in even George Lucas’ prequel trilogy approached the level of grandeur that Edwards depicted in the climactic scenes of Rogue One.
