This story about a daughter taking her dad to see the new Star Wars film is just lovely

“And my dad was silent for a while and then he said, ‘And he was a main character.’ And I said, ‘He was.’”

ROGUE ONE: A Star Wars Story has been dominating the box office around the world since its release in December.

This week, a story posted on Tumblr by user riveralwaysknew about going to the cinema is being talked about more than any plot point in the actual movie.

It was shared by the lead actor in Rogue One Diego Luna yesterday – and it’s a heartwarming tale

I got emotional reading this! #RogueOneStarWars pic.twitter.com/kfNXxYxWWI

The story of why representation matters in film has touched so many people in the last 24 hours.

And the sentiments have been shared across the board
