One movie that the Friday Movie Mavens and The Travelling Toe recently saw was "Rogue One: A Stars Wars Story". This is a stand alone Star Wars movie that can be considered a prequel to the 1977 "Stars Wars" movie. The ending scene sets that up, but no spoilers will be noted.
The synopsis of the from the internet is as follows:
Former scientist Galen Erso lives on a farm with his wife and young daughter Jyn. His peaceful existence comes crashing down when the evil Orson Krennick takes him away from his beloved family. Many years later, Galen is now the Empire's lead engineer for the most powerful weapon in the galaxy, the Death Star. Knowing that her father holds the key to its destruction, a vengeful Jyn joins forces with a spy and other resistance fighters to steal the space station's plans for the Rebel Alliance.
After the movie, most of the discussion centered on the topic that some of the fight scenes were a tad too long. Also Dear Readers if you decide to go see this movie do not be startled as once again Peter Cushing takes control of the Death Star. Mr. Cushing has been gone for some years but thanks to CGI techniques, he is able to make another appearance.

Additionally, Lord Darth Vader arrives on the scene to take command and he is once again voiced by James Earl Jones.
