“Star Wars: Rogue One” (*** out of four) was a kinetic entry in the legendary series about the Rebel Alliance making a risky move to steal the plans for the Death Star and a young girl (Felicity Jones) is imprisoned but later freed to track down her scientist father (Mads Mikkelsen) who was working on and attempting to complete the Death Star project which could in turn save the galaxy. Moves in fits and starts, with a plot that’s not always the easiest to follow, but is packed with the series’ usual dazzling visual effects and cinematography and picks up speed as it goes along and the final 45 minutes are spectacular. Jones is rock-solid in the lead. Incidentally, this is not a sequel to last year’s “The Force Awakens” but is a spin-off and a prequel to the original “Star Wars.” Long-time Star Wars addicts won’t be disappointed and will particularly love film’s final two scenes.
