Book: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Alexander Freed Based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta Screenplay written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy Film directed by Gareth Edwards Music: "Jedha Arrival" by Michael Giacchino Lyrics: A long time ago in a galaxy far away / Alexander Freed hath captured a masterpiece / On papyrus from the screen / Of Cassian and Jyn's valorous path to their destiny / See, these rebels were rebels before rebels were en vogue, son / Okay, you a rebel, but what's a rebel to a Rogue One? . . / A father-daughter story; a fallen martyr's glory / The strongest stars have hearts that could spark the swords / Of Skywalkers and Obi-Wans, but also could form the scourge / Of Alderaan, and that's the kicker; the Emperor's planet killer / The engineer inserted a monkeywrench in the system / And sent a Rook to sneak this secret weakness to a bishop / Who slant-passed to the queen who would ransack Krennic / So he could die at the hands of his own calamitous vision / The takeaway, friends, is as a film and a novelization / This is way more amazing than Force Awakens / If you say this is less than an A, then I say / Bor Gullet; know why? 'Cause no lie is safe . . The 4th edition of #16BarBookReports doubles as the 1st edition of #16BarCinema as I tribute one of my lifelong obsessions: #starwars ! Here, I reviewed #rogueone as film and novelization. Enjoy, and may the Bars be with you! #StarWarsRogueOne #16BarBookReport #AlexanderFreed #bookreview #bookreviews #StarWarsbooks #starwarsfan #starwarsfans @rogueone @starwars @starwarsrogueone @starwarsfan @starwarsfans #starwarsday #starwarsbookreviews #johnknoll #garywhitta #chrisweitz #tonygilroy #GeorgeLucas @georgelucas #michaelgiacchino @michaelgiacchino #starwarsfanart @starwarsfanart #jedha #jedhaarrival
