Rogue
One is the second Star Wars film made under the ever-growing movie monopoly
known as the Walt Disney Company.
There’s several comparisons to be made regarding this film and The Force Awakens: both having a female
lead, an avoidance on heavy-bearing romance (two modern Disney themes also shared
by the company’s latest animated features), and being an overall solid, yet
flawed addition to the Star Wars universe.
Conversely, there are numerous differences
between the two films: with Rogue One
succeeding in areas Force Awakens
fell flat, and Force Awakens’ stronger
points being some of Rogue One’s
weakest. When examining both overall,
however, Rogue One ends up winning as
the superior Disney-Star Wars film, if only by a slight margin.
