10 Films Coming In 2016 That Really Shouldn't Exist

3. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Yay, more Star Wars! No. Stop. Ask yourself what made the Force Awakens great. OK, not the whole €œit re-made A New Hope quite nicely€ thing. How about the intrigue and speculation it generated by leaving the filler info to the fans? Sure, I love the saga as much as the next Jedi (what? I€™ve felt the Force€), but the whole point of not. Defining. Every. Single. Aspect. Is to give some fluidity to the cinematic universe of Lucas€™ imagination and leave space for fans to find their own theories as to who€™s who and what the Death Star Killer Planet Thing is going on. OK, so I€™m all for seeing Felicity Jones and Mads Mikkelsen thrashing out an alternative take on the Imperial little guys in a space opera set before €˜77, but, as the first film in the Anthology series, one has to fear for kids who won€™t have the joy of spin-off comics and back-story novels. Once it€™s in film, it€™s as good as canon.
