The Mothership: A spoiler-free review of 'Rogue One'

Star Wars is back. But it's not what you may expect.

On this week's episode of The Mothership — Paste BN's geek culture podcast — Kelly Lawler (@klawls), Brett Molina (@brettmolina23) and Brian Truitt (@briantruitt) review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (sans spoilers), out in theaters now.

Rogue One takes place right before the events of Episode IV: A New Hope, as we learn how the rebel alliance steals the plans for the Death Star superweapon created by the Galactic Empire. Is the force strong with Rogue One, or does it fail to capture the magic of the Star Wars saga?
