No flying cars yet huh? OK. No anti aging pill? Alright. Teleporters anyone? No… no teleporters either. The powers that be have however managed to succeed in making a proper Star Wars movie on par with the original trilogy. Rogue One is that movie and I can be thankful we at least have that 😉 Continue reading Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
This. This is what it all comes down to. You work hard in a rewardless scene for decades making little to no money, bootlegged to no end, copied and poorly replicated by many for it to come down to this. I can handle all of that.
