Rogue One Discussion
It was a Hoth-like Sunday. But a few of us made it past the first marker and saw and talked about Rogue One.
As is now a tradition, we came up with our favorite lines from the movie:
Anything K-2SO said.
“I am one with the Force. The Force is with me.”
“Are you kidding me? I’m BLIND”
“Rebellions are built on hope.”
“Are we blind?”
Discussion Team Go!
