Rogue One(1)

What you may need to know:

1. Gareth Edwards directs the first “in between” Star Wars anthology movie.

2. A group of rebels steal the plans to the Death Star while the builders are still snagging.

3. Altogether now: “It’s a small thermal exhaust port right below the main port.”

4. Many Bothans didn’t die to bring us this information. That was the second Death Star.

5. It is Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) in the trailer, though. And Ben Mendelsohn looking very Grand Moff Tarkin-ish.

6. Disney have done very well with the property so far. But I’m not digging any of the names in contention for the Phil Lord/Christopher Miller Han Solo movie.

7. Broadsheet prognosis: That’s no moon…

Release Date: December 16.

Meanwhile…

Fianna Fáil’s Micheál Martin at Leinster House Yesterday

Fianna Fáil say that they feel,
They can’t accept Fine Gael’s deal,
They’ll seize the controls,
Or go back to the polls,
There’s a whole country still there to steal.

If you liked RTÉ’s Centenary [Easter Rising concert], you’ll love Maynooth University Chamber Choir performing Raglan Road. It’s simply stunning. Performed in the University of Arizona. The Soloist is called Francis Flood and the conductor is Michael Dawson.
