May The 4th Be With You. While I may be posting this a few days after this famous holiday, I still wanted to give recognition to all who have provided the thrills and inspirations that I acquire from Star Wars. Whether it be the original trilogy (Star Wars IV, V, and VI) or some of the prequels (episodes II and III, let’s not talk about episode I), I attribute many of my teachings and my knowledge of the force to the entire cast and producers.
For those who have not caught on, the saying, “may the force be with you,” is what the holiday, May 4th, is related to. The director of Star Wars, George Lucas, actually created the holiday that many enthusiasts enjoy.

Every year, many Star Wars fans express their love for the movies, action figures, collectables, and many other aspects that Star Wars has brought to humanity. Comic-con-like events are held on May 4th for fans to dress as their favorite Jedi, Sith Lord, or the occasional Stormtrooper.
Being an avid Star Wars fan myself, I cannot recall ever missing this famous day. In the past I have spent this holiday re-watching any Star Wars movie I am in the mood for. This year, I re-watched Star Wars Rogue One which was, by far, the most impressive and awesome Star Wars movie yet.

Some, however, confuse where Rogue One comes into play in the timeline of the Star Wars universe. Also, those who have not watched Star Wars yet need to know this key information. To clarify, Rogue One is the movie that sets up the main trilogy (Episodes IV, V, VI).
The cast for Star Wars Rogue One is commendable. The movie stars Felicity Jones as the main protagonist named Jyn Erso, the daughter of an imperial scientist. With the help of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen, also my personal favorite), Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), and many other characters, Jyn must fight her way to steal the Death Star plans, setting up the epic saga to follow.

I have watched Star Wars Rogue One at least 8 times now, but never tire of how well-done the movie is. For those who have not watched it, I strongly recommend on doing so! Although, I guess there is no surprise at the end if you have watched the original trilogy. However, by watching Rogue One, you get the perfect film to describe the hardships the Rebel Alliance had to overcome to capture the Death Star plans. Plus, you get to see my favorite scene, which only lasted 2 minutes 30 seconds at most.
