Star Wars: Rogue One (1x243)

:

For years, most movies that came out were not about the Death Star. Lots of people were OK with this, it meant we got movies like The Godfather, Point Break, and The Stoned Age. This evidently changed in 2015 however, and now every movie must relate in some way to the construction or destruction of a Death Star. This has led to a few odd choices, like the 2016 sequel to The Adventures of Milo and Otis, which critics called “tonally baffling” and “supposed to be about a puppy and kitten, why?” It’s worked out slightly better for The Force Awakens and Rogue One. Rogue One tells the story of a plucky band of upstarts who bring us the long awaited answer to one of the deepest mysteries in the Star Wars universe: what exactly was Jabba the Hutt’s toilet situation? As they seek out the answer to this disgusting riddle, they stumble across the plans to the Death Star and set in motion forty years of wildly disposable Star Wars parodies and tributes. Mon Mothma plays a major role for some reason. Mike, Kevin, Bill, and the reanimated likenesses of several actors who signed the wrong thing before they died team up to riff the latest chapter in the neverending Star Wars saga: Rogue One!
