Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (w/ Will from About Face)

Rivka and Frank are joined by Will, a US Army veteran and member of the organization About Face: Veterans Against the War, to discuss the 2016 Star Wars standalone movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

The group discusses the film’s themes around imperialism, war, revolution, radicalism, and what it means to compromise one’s morals for the sake of the “greater good.” They also ask the important question: what the hell was Forest Whitaker thinking?

For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching the 1989 “Weird Al” Yankovic comedy UHF.
