A Gritty, Emotionally Powerful, and Dark War Movie that Perfectly Fits into the Star Wars Universe

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2017)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a unique star wars experience that gives you the original trilogy feeling. The cast was perfect in all aspects and couldn't play it out any better. The action and conflict build up extraordinarily and set up 'A New Hope' perfectly while also attaching all loose strings together. The best thing is that Rogue One shows the dark side of both sides of the war by telling us that even the Rebels have made murderous mistakes throughout their lives. Unfortunately, the film rushes to some spots quickly and doesn't spend the needed time during certain scenes, which in turn steals development from some characters, who sometimes also felt rushed and didn't develop correctly to become the 'team' we see during the final act.
