Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘Let it be done for you according to your faith.’ And their eyes were opened” (Matthew 9:27-30). In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus passes through a town where two blind men cry out to him saying, “Son of David, have pity on us!” Jesus enters into their home and asks, “‘Do you believe that I can do this?’ ‘Yes, Lord,’ they said to him.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story continues to explore the murkiness and tragedy of war and rebellion but does so while presenting a darker perspective than previous Star Wars films. Yet, in the midst of such darkness the movie presents us with a character who sees through the shadows of this world with the sight of faith, and his apparent disability highlights a central theme found in the Gospels. “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed” (John 20:29). The all-star cast includes Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn, Jiang Wen, and Donnie Yen.The movie reminds us of the perils of spiritual blindness and the need for a child-like faith that defies our own skepticism.
