lizshayne 's review for:
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
by Alexander Freed
I'm tempted to tag this as fantasy just on principle...
The thing about Rogue One the movie is that, while I enjoyed it tremendously, it did its characters a disservice. There were so many interesting figures at the heart of the rebellion and the movie just didn't spend enough time on their back stories and motivations and self-hood. The book fixes some of that, although it's the novelization of the movie and isn't allowed to do things like change dialogue and scenes to better fit its new medium. For example, K-2S0 is just not as funny without Tudyk's performance. Bohdi Rook gets the best treatment while, Jyn feels like Freed is trying to write a different character than Felicity Jones played. Everyone else lands somewhere in between. I'm glad I read it, but it wasn't quite what I wanted it to be.
