If Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hit the spot, these will too

Another standalone corner of the galaxy, scoundrels included
The difference: A caper, not a sacrifice — the stakes stay personal and light

Both are working the same pair: space travel, space western
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

The same director's eye: war filmed in wet, worn, lived-in places
The difference: Melancholy and intimate, driven by one man rather than a squad

The rebellion reborn with breathless pace and new blood
The difference: A hopeful hero's journey — none of your doomed-mission weight

A crew stranded and improvising a long way from any help
The difference: Adventurous and warm — problem-solving fun without the dread

Both keep coming back to the same thing: space opera
The difference: Goes its own way on the melancholy

Farmers, rebels and a ragtag stand against a fascist war machine
The difference: A Star Wars echo without the soul — critics savaged it

Common ground: space travel

Kinetic where it counts, epic underneath

Space-hopping heroics with a female lead front and center
The difference: Quippy Marvel bounce — nothing like your war-movie gravity

Both land ideas and awe at once

Both are built on the same subject: spacecraft
