This movie puts the War in Star Wars

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2020)

This movies plot could have just been explained by a novel, but i'm glad it wasn't. This is by far the best of the Disney Star Wars movies and it shows. But there are a couple problems, the first being the lack of Darth Vader. Vader's presence in the film is too short lived. Even though everyone knows who Vader is, it still would have been nice to see more of the Sith Lord. My second problem is Diego Luna as Cassian Andor. For most of the movie he just seems like a stock character with nothing really interesting about him. Otherwise this movie is pretty good. The return of Saw Gerrara was a welcome one, but the real star of this movie was Ben Mendelsohn as Orson Krennic. He is without a doubt the best Disney villain and one of my favorite Star Wars villains. Jyn Erso, K2-S0, Chirutt, and Baze were all good characters, and all of their death were handled well. The action in this movie is some of the best in the franchise, and the final battle was great. Overall, this movie is full of action and (mostly) good performances which makes it without a doubt the best of the Disney Star Wars movies.
