Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – Spoiler Free Review

I see Rogue OneI review Rogue One Using my Pops! Yesterday I got to go and see the new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in Boston at a special Press Screening.

I loved the movie. This was something brand new that went along with something that we know and love. It is the untold story of how the Rebels got the plans for the Death Star. The people in this movie changed the course of history through their bravery. Think of it as sort of the Star Wars “Dirty Half-Dozen”. On the Team you Have Jyn Erso, a girl who lost her family and has been in hiding from the Empire throughout her life, she has ties to an extremist Rebel leader, Saw Gerrera. There is Captain Cassian Andor a tough soldier in the Rebel Army, he’s a specialist who does what needs to be done. There is also K-2SO a reprogrammed Imperial Droid who steals every scene with his sarcastic wit. Jyn Cassian and K-2SO go in search of Bodhi Rook a pilot for the Empire who is defecting. Along the way they meet up with Chirrut Imwe a blind martial arts master who is attuned to The Force and his long suffering best friend Baze Malbus a heavy arms expert. This unlikely team has to steal the plans for the Death Star.

The movie had so many great points, ground battles space battles and the best use of a Corellian Corvette ever!

Below I have photos from the World Premiere of Lucasfilm’s highly anticipated, first-ever standalone Star Wars adventure, ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY! Sadly I was not there. Continue reading Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – Spoiler Free Review

One Minute #Unboxing – Star Wars Smuggler’s Bounty – Death Star

Star Wars Smugglers Bounty Death Star
Photo-A-Day #4183

My Star Wars Smuggler’s Bounty box arrived yesterday. I was walking out the door on the way to work and it was there on the porch. So, I was unable to open it yesterday but today I got to unbox it. I did one of my one minute unboxings, well, 1 minute 13 seconds but I tried to get it to a minute. This seems to be a good amount of time to show you everything in the box. I know that I can wax poetic on these things but am finding that the shorter I go on YouTube the better.

The box was a good one with two Pop figures plus a nice tshirt featuring Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. The Patch has Darth Vader and the pin has one of the Emperor’s Royal Guard Storm Troopers on it. The special extra item is a Death Star Luggage Tag. This is the first Funko Luggage tag that was created. Also of note on the Grand Moff Tarkin Pop figure his head sculpt is different to show his sunken cheeks. The Darth Vader pop is really good with his doing a force choke move.
