Fans have already started filing into theaters to see the latest Star Wars opus Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but the most electrifying man in sports entertainment has yet to see it.
Still, he's all prepped to be blown away, sharing in a Facebook post that he managed to convince himself he was Boba Fett at a young age. The Rock said "Been using the Force like twice a month since I was 8. Convinced myself I was Boba Fett at 10. This franchise has brought me back to being a kid again. Though admittedly, a part of my brain is forever a teenager. Thank you filmmakers & actors. Bring on #RogueOne (insert big, brown, bald tattooed Jedi emoji)."
Hopefully, fans will get to see The Rock's reaction soon, but so far the film has enjoyed an 84% Certified Fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score of 89%, so things are trending in the right direction.
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
