Gareth Edwards Delivers, A Director that fans can trust.

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2016)

Rogue One has restored my hope for new Star Wars Movies after the Episode VII debacle.
I found this movie was tastefully done. The villains were villainous, The reconstruction of old characters with CGI was respectable though noticeable. I was willing to forgive it. Old characters and throwbacks to the originals were not overdone and waved in your face through the whole movie, just enough to tie it together. The new locations and characters were interesting and fresh.
I will agree with some other reviewers that some of the characters were a little bland/unnecessary but still it was a good job all around. This is the first Starwars movie since Episode 6: Return of the Jedi that I want to own.
One last note: Edwards has restored Vaders reputation from the angsty teenager to dreaded Sith lord filled with malice and hatred. He scared me a little.
Good job Edwards, I hope you direct another Starwars Film. You have won this fans trust.
