It’s not two minutes into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (yes, my intention
is to use the full name every time I mention this movie) that we see some
blue bantha milk. Young Jyn Erso is living on a farm with her parents on
the grey, wet planet of Lah’mu that still has moisture vaporators for some
reason. (Maybe they are moisture de-vaporators?) When trouble comes our
heroine races to safe keeping with Saw Gerrera (played by Forest Whitaker),
the first case of a character from the Clone Wars animated series making
its way into the film canon.

There are other familiar faces, some uglier than others. When adult Jyn
Erso (Felicity Jones) and her sidekick Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) start
their adventures on the vaguely Middle Eastern-looking planet Jedha (not
Jeddah) they bump into Dr Cornelius Evazan (the “you’ll be dead!” guy with
the squished-up nose from 1977’s Star Wars) and his Aqualish chum Ponda
Baba who will eventually lose an arm to Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Mos Eisley
Cantina. They are jerks in this movie, too.

Jyn and Cassian are there at the behest of the Rebel Alliance, led in part
by Mon Mothma, a character introduced in Episode VI (1983) but also seen in
deleted scenes from Episode III (2005). This time the actress that played
the younger Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) is now a little older, but still
younger than when we first met her. Just go with it.
Beside her is Bail Organa (who makes a reference to “an old friend from the
Clone Wars”, meaning Obi-Wan Kenobi), played by a guy that just looks like
Jimmy Smits. It actually is Jimmy Smits, but don’t scowl at me for
double-checking. One of the biggest casting shockers in Rogue One: A Star
Wars Story is who they got to play Moff Tarkin.

Peter Cushing, who is, in fact, dead, is all over Rogue One: A Star Wars
Story. It’s a weirdo mix of CGI and hubris. Like Fred Astaire dancing with
a vacuum cleaner, the Hammer Films legend has been digitally inserted into
this movie and, while it doesn’t look 100% perfect, it worked enough for me
to turn to the friend next to me and say “that’s no lookalike – that’s an
ethical dilemma!” The Cushing estate gets a thank you in the credits (and,
no doubt, a big fat check) and we all get a case of the uncanny valley
creeps.
